Challenging people at Muscle Beach with Brandon William
'is some kicking ok?' Magnus 'sure, we wont be so strict' the guy legit does it with perfect form lol
yeah lol also noteiced that
no kicking permitted.
and in fact Magnus kicks
Magnus is doing chicken wing muscle up the last 5 reps
@@cubegram948 it's easier but a muscle up is a muscle up.
Love the attitude of that surfer ! Yeah I’ll enter a muscle up competition, what’s a muscle up ? 😂 So ready to give it a try
@fouoii gyhh that makes sense, to hung ideally you need grip strength and be very light. My 6yo girl has a lot of grip strength for her size so... it makes sense
@@huracan200173 yup. strength to weight ratio is not linear
@@huracan200173 I use to be able to do some 30 pull ups with amazing form 12 years ago. I sat around for 10 years doing nothing. Recently got back into fitness and im embarrassed to say i cant even do one from hanging grip. I need to lose 40 lbs to get back to my 24 year old strength.
@@ixisnowixi you got this brother, keep grinding and you'll get there!
He looks like Markiplier 😃
The guy who did 17 muscle-ups almost launched himself into space on that first one!
yeah cus his form was so ridiculous xD
I will bring my trained Chimpanzee down and absolutely humiliate all of these fitness folks. Humble pie time. He can do a boat load of one handed pull ups no problemo. He can hang for 30 minutes or more no problemo. He can one handed and beat these times. He doesn't do Muscle Ups, he will do Muscle-Ups / Launch Overs and come back for dozens more.
@Heath Sims The reason I said his form looks ridiculous was indeed mainly his legs, but in the end of the day they are part of the form of this movement. Did he do a good job? Yes, doing 17 MU even with this form is something most people can't do. But that doesn't mean his form was good, it was (in my eyes) still quite bad.
@Heath Sims Yeah, the first guys last few reps didn't count either in my opinion, youre right on that. Still, the only thing that I call a good form MU is a strict one, no use of leg momentum, etc. So from my perspective the second guy has bad form (because even if he keeps his legs together, he still uses them to create momentum upwards). Maybe that's because I am a perfectionist. As I said, he did a good job because most people can't even do MU with the form he used, but that doesn't make it good form. It wouldn't count as a single rep in a competition for example. That's the standard I uphold for myself anyway.
@mike sprigg Yeah, we used to wear an onion on our belts cos that was the fashion, and we did endless muscle ups all day long. Then we did one arm muscle ups with girls hangin off our legs. They couldn't help themselves cos we were beasts. Those were the days.
Give the 66 year old lady a well deserved round of applause👏 to some people age really is just a number.
I highly suggest never saying that phrase
You know what else is just a number ? 18- and 911
@@YanosProductions It was actually originally meant to be used in this context before the pedos took it over to justify their bullshit.
-1/12
"All ages are numbers, dumbass." -Boomer Joking aside. Yes, she does deserve the applause.
Haha I love the way Magnus shows how to do a muscle-up at 11:30. Its like: - Step 1: Start hanging - Step 2: Do the muscle-up
Now draw the effing owl!
:D
Why make things complicated 😂
@@johnnieb.6273 Exactly! How to swim; 1. Get in water 2. Swim
I'm so glad the owl comment is the first response
Awesome meeting you guys! Great video and thanks for having me be a part of the challenge. Catch you before the surf next time 😆✌️
Killer attitude!
Yeah chillest guy of the video
Man, you looked so wiped out already, really solid effort!
Awesome you found the video dude.
you were the chillest dude out there man
The dude that beat the muscle ups was so unsuspecting. He killed it.
He shows up later with his shirt off and he’s ripped as hell…. He was a sleeper pick for sure
Now that I rewatch this video, magnus had way better form, going all the way up and all they way down to 15. The other guy had worse form.
@@BiggieChungulus but that dude could easily go upto 20 with little training it seemed. He was decent at hanging too
I love how all the gym bros won't even give it a shot. Then a skater pulls up and is like "Yeah okay I'll try it"
They're too big for it and they know they're not going to win.
They’re like 220-250lbs, they got no shot at either and they know it
Just dumb meatheads.
thats cuz gymrats have the biggest bodies and the smallest confidence
u dont know what that means lol
The muscle up dude almost flew off the bar a couple of times. Crazy explosiveness.
he cant do 5 with propper form it was momentum
@@Martin-ht1gs Kipping in a muscle up is proper form. Strict muscle ups are a completely different exercises and much rarer than a standard muscle up. In fact a lot of people who don't look like they're kipping are often still abusing momentum slightly.
@@yuuki3 true
@@yuuki3 bro, I can't do one with improper form... respect to anyone that can do muscle ups
He's like a spring!
Major props to Adam Driver for doing so well in _both_ challenges!
That's James Franco
I spat my coffee reading this
BEN SWOOOLLLLLOOOO
haha I was about to comment on Adam´s muscle up skills, checking if sb had the same impulse.
LOL
It was a pleasure to participate in your challenges! So much fun 😁👍 let me know next time you visit LA 😜 maybe I’ll get another $100 bill 💵😁 so it will keep me motivated))
i love that you stuck around to support other competitors as well!
Absolute beast man
If you trained especially for hanging, no doubt you would. Freak athlete
You the "muscle up" guy? :o Man, you are beast!
Beast
Mad respect for Gretchen, out did some of the younger guys and to go for as long as she did at that age is so impressive.
some people geneuinly die of old age in their 60s then theres gretchen out here stronger than most of us in our prime lol.
honestly i think she would've held for so much longer if she got chalk too
@@Julia-rq7uj Most definitely.
And after she was picked up by her tits lmao EDIT: gotta feel bad for the people who didn't know to ask for chalk
@r2l100 Looks like not one put in effort to fighting muscle failure. None of them had cramped hands afterwards, shaking hard, etc... You see nobody compensating for the slipping in their forearms, just giving into the slip. (Otherwise you'd see them try to curl their wrists to compensate. 22:38 is an exagerration of what I mean, but he's not quite at fatigue. Those two definitely did push, but one of them is w/ magnus and there's obviously something about the other, he's not just any rando.) She didn't necessarily go to it either, but being 66 and going like 2x as long as a bunch of youngins is enough to consider she pushed way farther mentally. Especially considering her stoic form. Amazing. Also consider as a woman, shes at a natural disadvantage with arm/grip strength...(Although, as gretchen, with those arms, compared to some of those lanky guys, nu-uh) I think I heard her say she was military? Makes sense, she got the kahones.
HUGE props to Getchen and that kid who held for over 2 mins! I hope I'm in as good of shape as she is when I'm her age. Guy with the glasses was a beast and seemed like a good dude. Great vid!
Kids have insane weight to strength ratio. I remember when I was 10 I was able to do 50+ pull up and hang on the monkey bars for ever. Then the Nintendo came out...
Looked like Glasses Beast found Gretchen, as well… or at least came back without a shirt to cheerlead 😆
@@AlainPilon yea holy crap now that you mention it, I don't know about 50 pull ups, but I could hang around on those monkey bars for what felt like forever when I was little haha
@@AlainPilon lool
Maybe shades help as much as no shirt for power
Years ago when I was a recess teacher I inadvertently started a hang challenge on the preschool/kindergarten (and the occasional 1st & 2nd gr classroom) playground. Over the course of the year, the champion was a 4-year-old preschooler. She hung for 4 minutes, 22 seconds. It was unreal.
And that preschooler grew up and was named Gretchen.
Wow teaching recess sounds like the chillest job lmao
@@Subsistence69 - Yes and no. We also had to direct traffic, wash lunchroom tables between groups, shuttle classrooms around campus and sub in classrooms (preschool through high school). We’d be 7 hours out in all kinds of weather, from freezing to sweat running down your back, pouring rain, snow, whipping wind, you name it. You got to have great conversations with kids, but you also were mommy to 500-700 kids, dealing with one ridiculous problem to the next (“Johnny looked at my shoe!!” “Susie won’t play with me”), correcting the same kid over the same playground rule for the 8th time that day, everyday….. Most days were a lot of fun, but many were just exhausting, physically, yes, but mostly emotionally. I LOVED the hanging bar on that playground. Years later they got rid of it, as well as several other toys (monkey bars, a tall slide, fireman’s pole and swings) because we went from just our own autonomous preschool to state-accredited day care and they deemed those toys too dangerous for that age group. Didn’t matter that kids had been perfectly fine for 12 years on those toys, building strength, coordination and courage, often times with our help…..ugh, don’t get me started on over regulation and unnecessary coddling. So annoying.
@@mena94x3 god your obnoxious and ignorant politics even bleed through in your comments on rock climbing videos. safety regulations are born from blood.
That's impressive. Makes you wonder if any stuck with it
I am not sure why this got recommended, but the fact that you are so pleasant to people, not judgmental, positive, and still manage to make a good watch is refreshing. 😎
The guy with the Macho Man Randy Savage glasses was ridiculous. Man does muscle ups faster than I can stand up
His form was so bad though
@@Rockmaster867 even with « bad form » i don’t think a lot of people could do 18 reps lmao
@@Rockmaster867 you’re being VERY pedantic
@@Rockmaster867 yeah but his explosivness was insane and also his endurance. Most people can endure or explosive power but this dude can do both insane really... Wondering how his routine looks like
@@Rockmaster867 his form was great and doesn’t matter how u do it as long as u go up the bar
Being a person who’s really conscious of what people might think of me, I actually admire people who’s not too good at these but still participate.
It might be good for you, to try it sometimes. That doesn't mean you will lose your conscious nature but allowing you to fail in public might help you with dealing the anxiety that comes with it. Try it, if anything among friends or strangers, whichever feels most comfortable. There are plenty of good things that comes from being a conscious person.... but the anxiety is not one of them. And that might help you.
Did not expect Magnus to get smoked on muscle ups. That dude had to hold himself back from flying over the bar.
Joey Ramone totally rocked the muscle up! And Gretchen just totally rocked in such a way that no able body person has an excuse for not working out. She was incredible!
The way she said "no, I just work out" low key underpaying it.
Surfer dude seemed super chill and ready to do whatever. Hope I can aspire to be likethat
He was totally on meddy, JAJA
Well if there is a community similar to the climbing community, its definetely the surfers
@@icebreaker554 surfers in Australia are chill af like that doubt it’s drugs
@@icebreaker554 It's a culture man, it's not drugs. When it's sunny pretty much every day and you get to do what you love you're gonna get chill people.
Awesome video. That guy with the glasses was a certified BEAST!
He didn't even look built! Just shows you I guess
To be fair I think Magnus bailed early, he might’ve been able to squeeze out one or two more, bad form be damned
@@ThiefOfNavarre what? did you watch till the end? he‘s ripped
@@nollie. I posted that comment before he took his shirt off. He's an alien!
@@ThiefOfNavarre guy's jacked it's just his arms that are small.
KZhead needs more of this. Such friendly vibes and respectful non interrogative interactions. Purely positive
I didn't find so many friendly vibes here. A lot of arrogance and dick contest
Exactly!✌
That’s what I like - the positivity . No politics or weirdness. Happy , healthy people being positive .
Haha man the surfer guy seemed super chill and had a great vibe.
wow the dude that won the muscle ups, what an amazing person. idk why but he seemed extreeeeemly chill to hang out with. Best non-climbing video on your channel for me. that was so cool and now i have super good mood.
Same everyone was so nice and friendly to each other
“Some people are just freakishly strong, you know?” Yes, Magnus. We know 😂 Love this video concept you should to one with other exercises too
Had never heard of Brandon William until this video, but about to binge watch his videos. Loved his attitude and what crazy strength!! Motivating.
So wholesome. I love it!
Let’s gooo epic video brother!🔥 It was an honor to meet you and film this challenge with you! 💯💪🏻
Huge fan Brandon!! Love your videos
Maybe 30 days training like a climber as a video idea?
is it ok or not ok to say lets go brandon like not in that way?
why didnt u give away the other $100 like to kids hanging simultaneous
Brandon doing videos with quality youtubers, loving it.
Funny to see Magnus advertising for a t-shirt/hoodie when 90% of the time he doesn't wear one 😂
We wear them so he doesn't have to.
also its not dirtbag if you have to pay for it
@@pixelcrust What?
@@thomasbecker9676 its called dirtbag tank top
@@pixelcrust so hand-me-downs and dumpster dive clothes only? Or are a few dollars at the thrift store acceptable too? Sure hope climbing gear doesn't fall in the "must be free" category...
I loved this video, always great to see everyone having fun and such a positive attitude
this was such a wholesome and fun video.... love the energy love the vibes. thanks yall
66 year old lady holding for 2 min. Holy that is incredible.
Thought the same, how?
@@0Turbox well, ya know, when you're 140cm tall and weigh 45kg
@@highviewbarbell but 66 is still 66
she's got dad strength
@@highviewbarbell You can blame her for that, when she was in her 40' and bragged about it, but 66, come one, that's an achievement.
I don't know how I found you but my wife and I tried our first indoor climb thanks to your amazing contributions and content. Thanks Mr. Midtbo!!
Glad that you first didnt watch climbing with Alex H 😎
Mr. Meatball* (As anton seems to pronounce haha)
thats awesome, man
Same here. After watching Magnus for a couple years now, i finally went to the Oslo climbing gym where he used to go. Kind of weird being there after watching so many videos from there, but i had a great time. I climbed a 6b first time i went there, and I’m pretty happy about it having never been to a climbing gym before.
@@bebble985 it's so surreal going there isnt it! It was weird how massive the lead walls were, but the bouldering felt like not as big as the videos make it seem. The route setting there is so delicious (though I was only climbing everything up to 7a)
Dude with the glasses seems like a hilarious guy :D Also, interesting how a lot of people didn't want to try, because they thought it would be a scam with a buy-in.
Why are surfer dudes always so chill? Matt was awesome!
Muscle up man made me burst out laughing because of how obviously he was about to beat the challenge just on the first one
Some really cool dudes out there! And Gretchen pulling out a 2 min+ hang at 66yo, inspiring!
Magnus could have at least doubled that hangtime. But then he is a climber. Brandon's time is still really impressive.
I can barely do 1 minute, I never know if I slipped or pretended to slip to stop feeling the pain.
So great seeing people just being people. Super chill just like when i was growing up. Interaction , being outside, and no one looking at their phone. Really great work guys. Couldn't stop watching after the Alpine indoors climbing.... The instructor was doing so good giving solid fundamentals that made this old guy wanna try. I'd probably be looking for a candy bar instead.
I love how supportive he was every time someone tried to beat the hang time :D
Even the muscle ups, he was encouraging people to keep going and beat his number. Very admirable. Not about his ego.
Shout out to Rungne. I LOVE what you're doing making a clothing brand that focuses on actual high quality and comfortable clothing. Too many just focus churning out the latest fashion with cheap materials that barely last a year or two. Thanks Magnus :D
19:43 You got the grip brother :D
This is quite inspiring tbh, every time you work out you become a better version of yourself.
Man, I had to go back and re watch that guy crank out those muscle ups. Incredibly impressive. I was concerned that somebody was going to beat Magnus with super bad form crossfit kicking muscle ups, but that guy crushed it.
I mean he was also kicking nd crossfor kickingn(called kipping)Isnt actually bad form.its called a kipping muscle up
Very fun and different from your usual stuff, your personality makes these kind of videos very comfy, not usual from these types of videos
You said it before and I agree watching your videos is very much like watching a friend, almost like seeing visually a story a friend would tell you. Keep it up you are relatable, kind hearted and just a great personality!
Love how lighthearted and positive this video is! All the people featured seemed really nice (as well as a few of them being absolute machines😂) and the video felt only 10 minutes long! Great video Magnus
the 17 muscle ups guy won because he had the best technique to save energy. he used more momentum to get higher and then need less muscle strength for the rest. good job
He's also strong af tho
That said, the explosiveness he showed is super impressive!
It was the worst technique, but the best way to win the challenge :)
@@Rafaelinux This right here, his form was really bad
People don't realize how buch kipping helps. Though tbf, they said form didn't matter, so it was smart
Thanks for brightening my day fellas. Keep the stellar vids coming dudes...
20:28 this women is amazing. My mom is 60 now and can run 40km+ but has zero to no grip or arm strength but still holy moly for a women in the 60s holding for over 2 min is crazy.
And she looks like 50... sport is the way
Magnus is awesome. I’ve always watched his videos but after seeing his heart and kindness during the marine training made me a big fan.
Stacked Adam Driver is my new favorite Magnus channel side character 😂 it’s the glasses that give him power!!
This made me LOL. Stacked Adam Driver 🤣🤣🤣
You guys are awesome! Love the energy!! Herlig Magnus - du er en sann inspirasjon! Du lager så mye konge innhold! Keep it up guys!
I like these videos because everyone is always so cordial, nice, and respectful. People are having a good time. Friendly competition. Lots of smiles. Society isn't too bad when you look at it from a different lens from time to time.
Magnus was on a Norwegian TV show two years ago where he hung for 4:18. Would've been fun to see him up against Brandon.
He actually did 5 minutes in the final episode, he only did 4:18 because he didn't need to do more to beat the record.
@@icythunder fax. Magnus holds second and first place in "jerngrep" in "Mesternes Mester" with 4.18 and 5.00
Great videp Magnus, its nice to see this kind of videos, really liked it! and i amazed by the 60 year old, she was stronger than most!
old person strength is no joke
I can't hang even 60 seconds bruuh
Hey Magnus, would love to see more climbing videos with other legendary climbers. The Alex Honnold and Adam Ondra colabs were amazing. Would love to see you meet up with Chris Sharma or Sasha DiGiulian.
Loved this style of video! Maybe some more like this would be cool.
Cake! 🍰
Magnus you were my inspiration to start climbing. Thank you.
first time on channel, loved the spirit and the sportsmanship. Really fun guys, well done all of you.
Such positive energy and really inspirational.
Yo such an awesome video as always! its always cool to see the abilities of people youve never met. Would love to see more of this style in the future!
Yeahhh go girls! I also love how fearless the kids were, absolute bosses 😎 as always, amazing video Magnus!
thing as a kid you still got that crazy stamina going lol
@@NonsensicalSpudz and a freaking sweet weight to power ratio
Epic episode. Thanks Magnus and Brandon!
Loved watching this. Looked so chilled out there too. 💪🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Such a fun and lighthearted video! I loved it
Your content always makes me smile for some reason. Keep it up. You're amazing
During the whole video I had a smile on my face. best workout I have done so far. Thanks
These videos always make me smile, it’s just great vibes
That was super fun to watch omg :D Thanks Magnus and Brandon, you're also freakishly strong
I really love this idea Magnus! I can see it was hard to approach people, but I hope you're able to make more like this!
This is soo fun too watch! Such inspiring people and that makes me happy 😊 20 years ago if I were at muscle beach I would have taken on the hanging challenge. I did some climbing in high school.
This was so feel good that I couldn't help but smile while watching.
for a big guy to do muscle ups that clean is really impressive. props to you mark
It's always the unassuming ones that achieve the most - never judge a book by its cover... Great video, Magnus - mainly here for the climbing content, but love these 'fun' videos a tonne!
"You're at 17 seconds" "Oh my God" That surfer was a whole vibe
Did Brandon use chalk? Looks like it. Gives a huge advantage so that you don't slip. Most people that you challenged didn't use chalk. They're slipping as soon as they get on the bar, especially from the sweat of all the people that went before them. If the people who surpassed 2 minutes used chalk, they'd definitely would have had a shot to beat you.
I agree, noticed that too
The second and third hanging guy also used chalk so i assume they offered
Such a light-hearted fun video. I am still smiling. Great summer beach mood!
This video scores 10/10 in the "wholesome" category :)
Sunglasses guy absolutely nailed it too. He just did great overall
My girlfriend and I tried indoor climbing for the first time and the catalyst was me finding you on KZhead! I had a lot of fun and did much better than I thought I would for my first time. I had no idea that there was even a gym like that around where I live!
you guys should step up the challenge budget like hang 1min = 10$ 2min = 25$ 3min = 50$ record = 100$ 10 pull up = 10$ 15 pull up = 25 $ 20 pull up = 50$ magnus record = 100$ you would have much more engagement and more happy people trying at least for the 1st stage reward :)
14:33 When I saw the first rep I already knew this dude was gonna beat the record, damn he had some serious explosive strength! I don't know if he would've made it if he was forced to do it in the perfect form though. Regardless he deserved it!
its not like magnus had perfect form either though
@@fivr. no one had good form in the video lol
@@karembapayet2263 first guy had best form, pretty much as clean as it gets from the looks of it.
He was kipping like crazy, first guy had best form almost completely excluded legs and had them locked , magnus excluded legs but did not have them locked, this guy was swinging like crazy. He couldn’t do 8 with the form magnus had
When the Adam Driver look-a-like was going for 16, I tightened my own muscles to help him.
I smiled through the whole thing. So much positive attitude 🙂
Hahaha. I cant stop watching Magnus regardless of what he does. Free Soloing, Ninja Warrier, Military or Muscle Beach. Mostly like climbing though
Bro same I find myself checking back frequently to see if there’s new videos. His vibe is amazing
5:15 Magnus: "I was really worried man." Hasn't even gone yet and is talking like the guy lost. lol
I love the good spirit you put in your videos. It's very nice
had to turn the brightness down when magnus took his shirt of 🌝 great video as always!! Thank you for providing such high quality content!!
Lol they get a newbie to try muscle ups. Respect to the guy for trying.
This is so wholesome! Great premise, and the way Magnus and William are so supportive is really sweet.
Way to go Magnus! I admire your strength and fortitude in this challenge, not to mention your epic free solo climb with the legendary Alex Honnold. Well deserved kudus!
this is so cool seeing people just have fun participating
Videos like this are so motivating and makes me want to work out. I tried the hanging after watching this vid and only managed a minute. My bar was thinner so if I were to try it at the muscle beach bar i might not even pass 40 seconds lol
Kinda funny how all those super jacked muscle bros decline when asked but the most random skate r dude agrees😂
Can't really blame them. I wouldn't want to mess up my workout by getting burned out doing a random youtube challenge. They got their priorities right if you ask me!
@@Grassisgreenism ya wreck their grip and then drop a barbell on their face. Also their legs are huge which is disadvantage here
you guys have a great attitude! you make others feel good!
Actually dope collab and great video concept, my favorite video so far, even though the Ludwig one was hilarious.
Such a nice and wholesome video. Made me smile for 23 min.
Great vid! Seems like everyone had fun! And you go Gretchen 💪🏼
