We used to watch it and you are correct, there are some very strong for their weight athletes on there.

I'm sure they get the time/chance to practice on the full set of the course.
But there are some real tough obstacles in their way. There is a curved ramp they have to get speed and run to the top and grab the ledge and pull themselves up. Most get to the top...but it's close. A guy last week did a 360 just before gaining the top and grabbed the ledge. Incredible!

I'm a bit disturbed by the concept of a "warrior" being depicted as a contestant on a game show. Kind of demeans the concept in my mind, but I guess that's up to the people who actually got shot at in an actual war somewhere. JMHO

I used to watch it but have stopped after maybe the 3rd season. I do admire the athleticism and have wanted to try the warped wall, but the closest one is an hour away...

Is that pic of the original Am. Gladiators, doing their tour around the US. They were near me when I was in HS 32yrs ago, they touted ripping phone books in half with bare hands.

The Gladiator on the left (Nitro?) is a dad around here. He's an ex-football player. I've seen him coach flag football at the local rec league.

Most of the contestants work out 24/7 for those game shows, it seems that the challenge is more important than relationships, or jobs.

^^^ Makes me wonder how much they get paid for competing...or winning.
