Great video. See this event requires lots of upper body strength. What do you think it’s good number of pull-ups in order to have enough upper strength to get through the courses? Obviously, grip seems important too.
@@alexhuang1778 I’m not the best at strict pull-ups but can rep about 30 butterfly pull-ups. I feel like a lot of it is being able to generate the momentum at the right time to get to the next grab. They typically will put multiple grip or hanging obstacles back to back which can get brutal too. I also feel like if you can get a deeper grip into your palm rather than relying on finger strength it can help you conserve a little more.
In Georgia, it is a lot of elevation gain. The full race is doable for a beginner but you will be hurting. We do the blitz now mainly to run with friends.
@@BobbyTime21 Thanks for the insight, Im planning on doing the PA one, still undecided. I've done stuff like 40 mile bike ride but haven't focused too much on upper body strenght so I thats why im trying to see whats the better fit for me.
We did not. We were planning to do Sprint but the only thing available was afternoon waves and we felt it was going to be way too expensive and crowded for that time.
@@BobbyTime21 I gotcha! I was looking forward to watching y’all do the Spartan. I did the Sprint last year and did the Super this year. Next year, I’ll do the Beast. Also doing the Terrain Race this year. Love you guys videos!
@@taylaluva Thanks I appreciate it. We will be back at Spartan next year if it is not a trifecta weekend. We have tough mudder, barbarian, rugged maniac, and fall savage left for this year.
