Csulli; Thanks for the videos. That guy is impressive. Is he training for anything particular?

He’s training for literally everything. In 2014 he wants to do a powerlifting meet, a strongman contest, an Olympic lifting competition, and a physique show. Would be really awesome if he pulled them all off.

J/K Csulli you’re a lucky man, I need a training partner like this.[/quote]
The benefits of having a training partner who is seriously down to lift 24/7 and is better than you at basically everything cannot be understated.

You being taller will help. A lot of the course challenges like the warped wall seem to be much easier for the taller competitors. [/quote]
Being taller is much worse for a lot of the hanging challenges, which are probably the hardest part of the show, IMO. Tons of grip work is necessary to do well after the first round. [/quote]
But on the other hand if you’re too short the spider climb becomes nearly impossible.

Yeah I mean being taller is going to have it’s disadvantages, but overall I feel it helps with more obstacles then not. The gripping stuff is in the later rounds, like you said, and I feel are going to suck regardless of build lol

Very true about the spider climb, although I think it’s pretty rare that competitors jump up and completely fail to reach both sides of the wall. I just look at the asian guys that have done well over a number of years and I think they’re all pretty short.
I’ve only watched a couple marathons, though, I haven’t watched it religiously so I could be wrong.
