OK I know this might open a can of worms, but my workout routine use to consist of salmon ladder, cliff hanger, etc. Basically obstacles. Then I would do regular muscle related workouts after. Now I have been working out for ninja warrior since 2010-11ish, and within the past year my body kinda hurts when I would get on obstacles. I'm only 23 years old and that should not be happening. I was a firm believer that working out on obstacles make you stronger. And I still believe they do to a certain degree. But your body pays the price. Obstacles like the Cliffhanger and salmon ladder are very rough on your body to do every day. Something had to change.
So I swapped up my workouts. Now I do my muscle related workouts for 1 or 2 days. On the 2ND or 3Rd I do obstacles. Then maybe the 4th day rest or start the routine back over. I have been doing this for a month now and can tell a major difference. When I get on the salmon ladder, my joints do not hurt and I'm stronger.
I know this is probably basic knowledge to some.of you, but if you have trained like I have for years or are new to training I would take this into account. I know someone on here a couple of years ago wrote a very excellent article on working out and I see where working out on obstacles everyday does not do the trick.

Anyone know that?
