In this episode, I find out how difficult the Salmon Ladder is from the TV show Ninja Warrior. The Salmon Ladder is a 2nd stage obstacle and has become a staple on the show. It's success rate averages around 60-70%. There are many variations but usually the goal is anywhere between 4 and 7 rungs. I set my milestone at 7 rungs. The movement is similar to muscle ups and pull up but requires a significantly stronger grip.
Thanks to www.primalgym.co.uk for allowing me to try this out and film. Go check them out if you are in the area (Edinburgh).
Special thanks to Calum Connelly on this one for his expertise and showing me the ropes.

Hey I’m ten and I can do salmon ladder
Puch your legs up and make it esyy
Fun fact: he could’ve made it day one without any issues if only he used switch grip which is like mandatory for any ninja with these moving bar obstacles, that way the bar won’t ever rotate, negating any requirements for excessive grip strength
How many times did mike fall 👇🏻
i think its obvious that what ever he tries hes always successful
That squeak though XD #8:17
These things looked so easy to as a dumb lil child
How long were the training sessions?
go to Ninja Warrior
r u from glasgow
WE HAVE THE SAME SHOES!!!
You're meant to hold the bar with one hand one way and the other the other way so you can pull the bar out and in easier.
Cooool
I think you should try the vertical limit from sasuke
I can’t even do a pull-up
3:03 that must hurt
I knew a guy who used TENNIS BALLS as stress balls. His grip was so strong that the tennis balls very noticeably deformed.
Since everyone get atleast 1k likes by saying something then hi
I love the total discombobulation of Mike for the moment where he stuffs it up
Me always thinking aw I could do that that's eeaasssy also me can't do more than 5 half pull ups on my good trys
6:06 for the most scottish moment of the video.
Its like getting over it
Ok so its easy?
I wonder if you can do a 6B/C boulder problem
Its called American Ninja Warrior not Ninja Warrior
Is it just me, but I cant even do 1 pull up
Watching you really work hard and seeing it go from 4-7 rungs was huge! Such a big jump! Really love the dedication that was put into achieving this goal.
*00:36** Poland?*
Keep it up man love you
You can see a problem develop in this video. When he does his towel pull ups, he almost entirely does them on the right side. This builds strength in his right arm significantly, and this shows, because most of his failures with the Salmon Ladder are on his left side
⚠️ATTENTION ⚠️at the end of 2020 we are going to yell “JUMANJI” to get out of this year
Maybe I'm faaaar too late but: I would suggest you go bouldering for grip strength. In that case it will be also easy for you to climb up and get the bar back after all those rugs. Awesome dedication thought. :)
3:00 jese mike
Btw
Middle finger
Hey Mike, you should try some illustration to show how much work it takes
My mans can crush a rock with his hands now
appreciate the thumbnail. He's facing the wrong way.
Green arrow did it first 😜
learn to surf :D
Hey.....you are like agadmator....... A chess game analyser
my favourite youtuber you are always positive and im emotionless AND TEST SAYS THAT I AM FUCKING SOCIOPATH ok i dont belive in some random site's quest
0:58 mike boyd you are no average bloke
I am so sorry, but 1:06 genuinely made me laugh.
There’s an 🇦🇺 one
You should try to learn how to juggle a soccer ball.
10/10 grind
I would say for grip you could also use something like silly puddy or playdom and just keep squeezing over and over it's nice because you can be at a desk and easily do this
I assume the bar is so large because it's a hollow aluminum pipe. They chose something strong enough to withstand the abuse, but light enough that it wouldn't hurt too badly falling on you. Also, the lightweight bar is probably easier to lift up between "hops". Imagine how much heavier a narrow steel pipe would be. I'm sure if you got a bit more confident at the technique you could probably "upgrade" to a thinner steel bar, and accept the tradeoffs and potential risks.
i wonder how much did the towel got stretched
I knew a guy who could actually manage the salmon ladder, and even he actually broke his leg once because he fell off it and landed weirdly. So I guess it's pretty tough.
an *average bloke*
The guy he showed at 0:57 is the guy who won Australian ninja warrior
As he clapped an ad showed up
I am going to sleep bye
It's painful to watch this guy..
my dude I love these vids, but I never get why you never straighten your arms fully when doing pull-ups, it must be decreasing your range of motion and hurting your strength gains a little, anyway lots of love man!
Now imagine if the bar got stuck at the top
How they tell programming is VS What it really is : lvworld.info/face/video/m82skni3baejm6Y
Uuu
I though this was called the Six-men ladder.
Some of them have failed this city apparently
3 sessions isn't going to do squat. you have to train consistently for months and months. it's not only grip strength.
Thing is you don't go up using only your arms. It is called the "Salmon" for a reason. You need to use your entire body to give you a push. The more you use your legs and hips to go up, the easier it is on your arms.
The rocks a filthy pos
Honestly, I dont think he did THAT bad from the beginning... Now see, if that were me...I would immediately fall in a super awkward way and the bar would end up wedged in my sphincter. Then I’d had to have this super undignified funeral, facing down in my coffin with a tube sticking up in the air...
The salmon ladder is super difficult I tried a lot until I got a blister
Anyone else get annoyed that when he was using towel to improve his grip he only put his head to one side and not the other? | V
If at first you dont succeed try and try again
I prefer going up the salmon canyon.
"This is day one" *_FALLS_* IK its obvious he would fall i just find it funny
It’s way easier on a homemade wooden and metal salmon ladder trust me.
Since its quarantine and I'm borded, I might make one.
I used to think this looked so easy while also not being able to do a single chin up
*Mike Boyd* you mind dropping a sub on us? we really want 600 subscribers...
Idk how difficult it is
This is my first time watching a Mike Boyd video but I have watched Ninja Warrior before. It seems most of the time the winners do parkour. I do admire it when seemingly normal people do this sort of stuff and I like Mike's accent, but I very much doubt I could do any of that. For starters, my hands get very sweaty fast so I would likely lose my grip on the bar before I could make it past maybe 1 rung, if that. Still good job Mike.
My hands feel sweaty just by watching this lol
the fucking way he yells 8:38
instant subscribe.
2:00 what the hell is a PART time ninja
This is preschool for Oliver queen
Pause at 3:04. If that’s skin, that’s gonna be fun to rip off.
No way could he go from being that shit to being able to do it. His training methods were shit. He missed out months of training or it's fake and he could always do it ( probably not though since he couldn't even do 3 pull ups) Curiosity stream is absolute shite by the way
That is something.
I love how when you fall the bar follows after. It's very comedic timing
Can you all support my channel please.
I can do it I'm very surprised I could but I can be proud of myself
What if the bar falls and hits you?
Go up and back down.
That looks like it could break bones. Especially in your forearms. If you havent trained for it.
Your training session was one weeek apart which is not good for gaining muscle
interviewer: what are some special talents you have? mike: yes
i cant even do a pull up
The picture of the video looks like he is constipated
is it just me or does his face in the thumbnail look like jacksepticeye in pain
Try doing down from the top
