Ninja Warrior - Stadium Climbing #5 of 7 (Explosive Strength Training)

My collection of "Stadium Climbing" videos are designed to chart my personal progress. It was only a little over a month ago that I first reached the top of the stadium pillar, and it took me a total of 37 seconds to do it. I can now climb it in 13 seconds! This is progress that I and everyone can easily see. I hope you'll continue to watch and enjoy my videos.

I've always considered myself to be moderately strong, fit and healthy. I've been into weight-lifting for years; I've competed in many long-distance races, including one marathon at the young age of 16; and I've obtained the rank of Black Belt in Korean martial arts. However, it wasn't until November of 2007--the month I was introduced to the competitors of Japan's famous Sasuke "Ninja Warrior" Competition--that I realized what it really meant to be strong. Powerful men and heros such as Makoto Nagano, Mr. Ninja Warrior, and Shunsuke Nagasaki acted as the catalyst to spark my desire to compete in Ninja Warrior, and so I immediately began my training.

As I mention in the video, my goal is to compete in the SPRING, 2009 Ninja Warrior Competition (in March of 2009), and I've trained hard for it. Of course, I'll continue my training, always progressing in strength, speed, agility, endurance, and flexibility, and I'll do my best to create small videos such as this one to chart my progression.

By the time I submit my G4 American Ninja Warrior Challenge Video (right around December, 2008 / January, 2009), I hope you'll all watch and vote for me. With your votes and with your support, I'll have the opportunity to travel to Japan and represent the American People in Sasuke's 22nd Season. However, I have no intention of simply going and competing and having a good time. I'm going to win! I'm going to become the first true American Ninja Warrior, by conquering all four stages and ascending to the summit of Mount Midoriyama!

Please continue to watch my videos. As time goes on, the videos will become more and more impressive. I promise you that.

Thanks for watching and for your support. If you leave a comment, please leave one of support and encouragement. Nobody likes receiving comments intended to ridicule and tear down one's dreams.

[NixSeraph]

I'd never dream of it.

[p90xpushplay]

re those things on the pallet, what you are supposed to land on if you fall? :)

dammit Nick stay down from there!

Although you da man

[NixSeraph]

I'm honestly not too sure what the large bags on the pallets are. There was an HUGE industrial-sized vacuum at the stadium at the time, so maybe they're bags full of dirt and dust and whatnot. I don't know.

So by next month you should be able to do it in a little under 0 seconds.

[NixSeraph]

Hmmm....maybe. No, somehow I doubt I'll ever get THAT fast. However, right now, I'm thinking my ultimate goal is to get to the top in under 10 seconds. So, if I do it in 9 seconds, I'll be completely satisfied. Thanks.

[Enjjpt0508]

Few people ever come to a place in life where they have supreme confidence in their abilities and can acheive the seemingly impossible. Your dedication and confidence is inspiring. I'd wish you luck, but you make your own luck! Best wishes and keep up the good work.

Smuggle Beer into the stadium that way, and souble the price tag on it!

[aceofspades02]

my comment will be totally aside from skills strength and training.
