Default Ninja Warrior

I guess not too off topic, but has anyone ever seen this japanese show. It comes on G4 and im addicted to it. Its a show where contestants try to make it through different obstical courses that requires a massive amount of upperbody strength and endurance. If you dont know what it is look up some videos on youtube, id love to see if I could make it through at least the first course.

Only two people in the history of the show have made it through all 4 levels.

I thought I was the only one. My goal is to have my own gym and in the back build a ninja warrior playground. I just got done watching the first guy win again. Their pride and honor fill you with so much good, Oh to be a fisherman.

If they ever do a female american ninja warrior challange, I am all over it.

I have watched it several times. It is amazing what they can do, and the ones that can't are just as entertaining as you watch them fall into the mud/water.

Leigh they had a female ninja warrior challenge, I remember watching it.

They did a American one? Damn I missed that. I know they have female ninja warriors I was just talking about the G4 American challenge thing they ran where they sent the winner to compete in Ninja Warrior.

Yeah, i just watched the first guy win it again, felt so bad for Mr. Ninja Warrior. He got screwed on the propellar bars (not sure if right name for them), they didnt line up as they went around so he wasted a lot of energy having to wait and go around again. He lost he's grip on the cliff hanger.

Id love to have a course set up, i started rock climping cause of this show just to start and build up some grip strength, lol.

I remember seeing the female ninja warrior as well.

Have ya'll seen the new course, the spider jump in the first stage is crazy, i think thats where both the contestants from G4 american challenge fell in the water.

They were having a promo of G4 awhile back and I remember I watched this all day. Do they have the episodes online? Since the promo ended I havn't seen it.

Hmm, it may not have been an American one, if I see an ad for it though I will post it.

There was a female off-shoot.

That event takes a lot of bodyweight grip strength, from what I've seen.

I love that show. What's funny is Americans would never be able to do that. We'd get our fat asses stuck in some of the stuff they go through. lol
