Great Tutorial vid! It took me a long time to get the jumps down, but now I can do them super easily. But the obstacle is still a monster. It'd be cool if you did more of these, there are not many tutorial videos out there for NW obstacles

It'd be cool if you did more of these, there are not many tutorial videos out there for NW obstacles Glad you like it. I am trying to get my video skills up to par so I can have a legit series of NW how go's. This one is a little rough, but pretty good. If I was just starting out I think it would have been helpful. Any particular tutorial you would like to see? |

Personally id like to see a vid on the quad steps or warped wall. Something you could add in to the videos is some progression exersices or any other exersices that are beneficial to the obstacles, an example of that would be something like: pullups, clap- pullups etc.... ( for salmon ladder). Stuff like that would be helpful.

I enjoyed the video, though one suggestion I have is to also include additional tips on handling key skills needed to complete an obstacle (in the case of the UCH, how someone can prepare better for the jumps when a replica is not available and what exercises may help with forearm and grip strength). As for recommendations for future videos, I'd be interested in any such tutorials!  However, it may help you stand out a bit more if you eventually include tutorials on obstacles which aren't very heavily featured in similar "how-to" videos. For example, I myself am interested on what people can do to better prepare themselves for tackling Vertical Limit. The grip strength needed to even hold onto that obstacle is ridiculous, let alone traversing its entire span in one go.  |

I think that along with the doors (and how to train for both of them) would make for solid videos. Vertical limit is tough. I can hardly do it myself! But I can certainly speak to the training side as could not do it a couple months ago and now I am fairly consistent. |

Warped Wall would be sweet. I've tried it before, but could only manage to get my fingers to graze the top. I can't manage to get a solid leap at the apex of my run about halfway up the wall or so. I think it's mostly because I'm too scared to lean back.

Assuming you have the finger/upper body strength, the most difficult part (imo) of the cliffhanger is the 2nd to 3rd flat rung transition. What helped me is becoming comfortable with generating as much momentum as possible with swinging side to side. There is a point that you have to trust yourself and let go to get to the next rung. This part is more mental imo. You can practice this transition with doing transverse dynos at a climbing gym or swinging side to side with max momentum at pull up bars. The last transition seems much easier since you already have a lot of momentum and you are more confident having done the previous transition. As always, train smart to avoid injury.

When jumping to the little ledge, keep your hands far apart until just before you jump. You can generate a lot more sideways swing this way.

Yes, and that's the more popular way of doing it. You can generate more sideways swing that way but for me at this point in time it seems more difficult to stay on the ledge when keeping my hands further apart. I will try it again later today and see if I'm getting better at it. |

Yeah, you'll get used to it.

It is important to force yourself to work on the proper technique even if it doesn't feel as good at first. You will quickly progress and you don't want to have to break bad habits later. Just my opinion.

It's alright to be a little sloppy at first, but once you learn what you deem to be proper technique, it's important to practice THAT, yeah.

I think my technique got a little bit better with practicing this
