Sorry but a strong back is really essential for good athleticism, and an intense back workout is one of the main goals of dead-lifting, so of course it puts a pressure on your spine. That aside, if you have spine problems, you should consult with sport doctors how you should train, but it's probably even more essential for you, to strengthen your back, and your whole trunk!

Thanks a bunch Ryan! I did submit quite a few stories along with my video...7 kids...42 yrs old...4 of us got caught in log jam on river a couple years back...all 4 of us somehow broke out and survived...ya...I am just an old guy with a life full of "learning stories and close calls". Thanks for the "how-to" videos...you guys are great!

I also have mild scoliosis and through a lot of weightlifting, pullups, and muscle ups have managed to mask those deficiencies. I also had a bad accident where I torqued my lower vertebrate. Physical activities would always re-injure me there until I started intensely training parkour and crossfit.

Great video guys. Love what your doing. Way to to promote physical fitness. I am still a little heavy and injured. But I hope to see you all at the next tryouts. Good point into the rowing too. I do a lot of white water kayaking when the rain allows it. Nothing better to get the blood pumping.

I build bulk very easily. At the age of thirteen I had the build of a rugby player and the closest thing I did to a physical activity was play chess. If I do weight training I won't be very agile with all of the muscle mass. I'd prefer a lean body with a good power to weight ratio.

Ryan Ford commented on 19 Dec 2012

pull ups and muscle ups are mostly upper back. deadlift is mostly lower back. the lower back is more important to strengthen for injury prevention. deadlift is dangerous if you do it wrong. NOT deadlifting is also dangerous. if you do deadlift right, it is extremely beneficial.

Jan Tullar Dudek commented on 08 Dec 2012

Also good breathing technique and strong midsection are important for safe back training. Some safer, bodyweight alternatives include: first and foremost glute-ham rise (GHR), and simple leg/trunk rises (while the other lies locked on a table or something).

I'm learning to swing from a bar to another, but my both palms hurt and grow callus beneath my middle fingers, one even bleeding inside. Is there any proper way to hold a bar? I could wear gloves but it doesn't seem practical to wear them all the time.

How many audition videos do you think are submitted? I guess I am wanting to know my odds as I submitted for 2013. I am 42 years old and am really strong and agile for my age but not sure if I will even get a look at the course.

Ryan Ford commented on 19 Dec 2012

Just because you weight train doesn't mean you will be bulky and slow. If you keep up your regular agility and flexibility training, you will still be agile and way stronger. Weight training does not mean bodybuilding.

Ryan Ford commented on 12 Feb 2013

honestly, they don't really care how good you are. they just want good stories. so your best bet is to play up the fact that you are an older underdog and any other good life stories or adversity you've overcome.

I have always wanted to do ninja warrior i been watching it for 4 years now one big thing to train for is the warped wall and grip strangth also good formation i would love to try out but i half to be 21

Jan Tullar Dudek commented on 08 Dec 2012

Well things to look into in bodyweight training, would be glute-ham rise (GHR), pistols and back lever... it's not exactly the same as deal-lifts + squats, both trainings have their own advantages.

Ryan Ford commented on 13 Dec 2012

yes, i got 32nd and bare missed the top 30 cutoff. i sprained my ankle on my first wall run attempt and was doomed from there, lol. next time i will do much better!

swinginstyle commented on 10 Dec 2012

why are you against weight lifting? it's so good for you. My body weight exercises aren't nearly as good as a deadlift or overhead squat.

Bjelor commented on 07 Dec 2012

thank you guys, this was very motivating indeed. im definitely going to do some of these drills along with my martial arts practice.

Vampyromorphida commented on 23 Jan 2013

I don't mean generally, I'm talking person specific. I bulk easily. Maybe I'm just overtraining or not resting enough or something.

Ryan Ford commented on 12 Feb 2013

ANW is almost all upper body climbing/pulling, so yes, pull ups are one of the most important bodyweight exercises you could do.

Noah Anderson commented on 31 Jul 2013

I'm a powerlifter so I love deadlift, only 16 though so I still have to wait a while, guess its just more time to train

ColoradoParkour commented on 07 Dec 2012

It's an American/Japanese TV show centered around normal people going up against a really tough obstacle course.

clees8t commented on 07 Dec 2012

Obviously grip strength is really important, could you post a grip strength specific video for ninja warrior?

Vampyromorphida commented on 08 Dec 2012

I'm against weight-lifting. Is there a body weight exercise that exercises the same muscles as a dead lift?

Zebcast commented on 18 Sep 2015

+FranDaMan1 Hahaaa I found it it's the back of a store in Sandy Shores. Who needs all the cool Bruce Lee-esque dojos with ancient architecture and real samurais when you have THE dojo in Sandy Shores lol
