Hey guys

I've been working out for around the past three years.   Right now I'm a senior in high school.   I actually was inspired a few years ago by Scooby's youtube videos, and subsequently his website, so when I found out he has a forum, I figured I would stop by

I enjoy climbing things and doing bodyweight-oriented feats of strength.   Some things I've accomplished are doing 15 pistols (one legged squats), 7 pullups with my middle fingers, elbow lever hold, partial one armed chinup, and climbing all sorts of surfaces.  If anybody has ever seen the show Ninja Warrior (sasuke in japan), I've learned to do a lot of things from that, like body props and spider climbs. 


My goals are to put on some weight (currently 143 lbs), and eventually do more advanced exercises such as a full one armed chinup, ab wheel rollout, and front lever

Also, I recently bought an 100 lb weight set, and might start lifting weights.

Welcome!

That stuff always looked so fun to me! Feel lucky, as you may have seen from watching Ninja Warrior, taller/bigger guys don't seem to fare so well Cheesy I've always had a lot of admiration and fascination with the tests of body weight strength so congrats on all of your achievements thus far and here's to the rest of the feats you tackle in the future!

Thanks!
I'm actually fairly tall, almost 5 11, meaning im also skinny.  I added a few picture to my profile if you want to see what I look like

I'm jealous of the guys on ninja warrior like nagano and akiyama who weight 120-130 but still have massively ripped upper bodies.       Jealous for feats of strength, that is, because what guy wants to be 5'3'' :D

Haha yeah man, Nagano is a beast. The footage of him just scaling along the perimeter of his boat is amazing. If I had it my way I'd much rather have a slighter frame so I could do more agility based stuff like that, it looks so damned fun! I mean I'm not a lumbering oaf, I actually surprise people when I do stuff that you don't see most guys my size doing haha, it's just so much easier for guys with their stature.

I remember seeing this American guy on Ninja warrior who was 6'4" i want to say and when he got to the spider climb his body was so cramped up and he couldn't get good form since his legs were so pulled in so he ended up falling.

Anyways, again, welcome and keep up all you're doing, the pictures are very impressive!
