We have these every year, longer poll this year too. So, how would you all do on the course?
I'd fail either the jump to Roller Hill, the dismount, or the TIE Figther.
EDIT: 4 MINUTES IN, WE HAVE OUR FIRST KANZENSEIHA VOTE. 6 MINUTES IN, WE HAVE TWO.

I would likely fail the Tie Fighter...my upper body strength isn't the best

Realistically I could see myself failing anything after Roller Hill. My best attempt would probably be the Wall or MAYBE timeout on the Lumberjack Climb.

I'd say the Double Pendulum. My upper body is very strong as a discus/shot putter, and my legs are very strong. However, I probably weigh too much for the pendulum

For the first time probably ever, I can say with near certainty that I am physically capable of clearing the first stage, and I think I could actually do it if I kept my nerves down.
But the answer is always going to be the same for me--I'd fail the Salmon Ladder. I've never gotten the technique down, and I don't have the explosive power to do it. I could probably do the second ladder going down though lol. Other than the Salmon Ladder, I actually think I could make it to Stage 3. I don't think that's ever been the case before either but for once I actually think I could do it, with this time limit.
Since I stopped lifting and started focusing on running, I'd be a surefire fail at the Third Stage though. My grip strength SUCKS at the moment. I could probably do the Drum Hopper because I've always done that hopping thing with my arms for fun, but beyond that I don't even think I could hold onto the Flying Bar during the landing impact of one of the jumps. As for the cliffhanger, I'm a lightweight with a lot of endurance, but I just don't have the strength for it or THAT kind of endurance... for now.

I guess the Warped wall but realistically I think i'd have gone all the way to Kanzenseiha!

You could still do the Yuuji Washimi technique from 24. He did massive full swings, and at every backward swing (toward same side as the ladder teeth) he would use that swing momentum to lift the bar up. Probably the most weakarm-friendly method I've seen, but obviously It's quite slow.

Physically I can do everything in stage 1. Nerves always get me when I step onto these courses though, so realistically I could fail anything.
Don't think I'm in good enough shape to beat the Salmon ladder anymore, despite knowing the technique.

I'm the opposite which is weird, pressure makes me do normally.
I suck at things like dips and stuff, and I'd probably fail the 2nd or 3rd jump of the Drum Hopper Kai lol.

I'm really bad at the trampoline obstacles. Not because I suck on the trampoline, but it's grabbing and holding on to whatever I'm jumping to. It's not even bad grip strength, I'm pretty sure it's mostly my tiny baby hands. Even when my grip strength was at its absolute peak I couldn't do it - and that's when I could do the cliffhanger with a weighted vest on for days.
But with this one, I'm pretty sure I could. A bar is not as difficult as a rope, and it being sized for Japanese competitors would make it quite easy for someone my size.

Realistically, I think I would/could make it to the Flying Bar, I've just never had the precision to land on the short ledge. But if the time limit on Stage 2 wasn't so lenient, I'm pretty sure I'd time out on the Wall lift. My upper body isn't the greatest. All of my strength is really in my lower body and forearms. And I actually swim competitively, so I don't think I'd have much trouble with the Backstream.

I'd say TIE Fighter mostly because I honestly think the quad steps made the rolling hill easier so...
