Akiyama is a crab fisherman and massage therapist. When he won he was absolutely freakin ripped, weighing 56kg at 161cm tall, with only 5.8 per cent body fat. Hot dayum.

This professional rock climber is one of the two Americans to complete the course in the 2015 season.
This cameraman was the other man who finished the course in the US in 2015. Britten built his incredible upper body strength via decades of rock climbing.
Weighing just 56 kilograms and standing a mere 161 centimetres tall, this pint-sized crab fisherman and massage therapist boasted a body fat percentage of 5.8 per cent.
Makoto Nagano competed in 26 Sasuke competitions (the original Ninja Warrior) but quit this year.

Ninja Warriors need first and foremost a lot of upper body strength and endurance, explosiveness, and great grip strength. As an optimal weight-to-strength ratio is also essential, it doesn’t make sense just heading to the gym, lifting some weights, and becoming bulky.
Well trained core muscles will give you balance and stability, reduce the risk of injury, and ease a lot of Ninja Warrior obstacles. Every time you are hanging on an obstacle and have to generate a swing, you will need your core. With a great core, your swinging will be much more efficient.
Lache training is a must for Ninja Warrior. There are many obstacles, where you hang and have to jump to another obstacle or a platform with a swing motion. You should know how to generate momentum efficiently and get a feeling for how much momentum is needed for a certain distance.
Unfortunately, it’s crucial for some of the Ninja Warrior obstacles. The salmon ladder is probably the best-known example.
The salmon ladder is probably the best-known example. So, add explosive movements on the pull-up bar, such as Clapping Pull Ups, and workouts on a campus board to your training regime. Start with laddering, which means climbing up the rungs in the simplest way.
Eating right is as important as doing the right exercises. You want to build up muscles, but don’t build up fat. Getting lean and improving your strength-to-weight ratio must be your goal. Any fat you are carrying while hanging on some obstacles will deplete your stamina unnecessarily.
Even some simple tools, like a few wooden beams placed in a row with a certain gap or multiple foam rolls parallel to each other, can be used to train your balance and foot placement.
