Hey Magnus. Didn't you and Larry Wheels intimate that you were doing a "grip strength" video together? Is that coming?
Spammmmm
The interaction with everyone was so funny and wholesome. The fact that Magnus himself got interviewed is hilarious
Where can we see this interview? I was a little disappointed it was cut out lol.
@@takaritaco7596 I have no idea I'd love to see it too haha
@@takaritaco7596 I think they said they were filming for an MTV show so probably not til that comes out
Just so organic i love it
Dude has no idea he was speaking to one of the worlds best climbers
10:39 “There’s no way I’m going to last for a second” Looks down, looks at camera. Magnus is a legend.
I knew this comment was gonna be there before i startet scrolling down. Ma man!
gentlemen of honour I see we meet again 😂😂
I fucking lol'd at that moment xD
Some hero is gonna come with the @. I can see it already
hahahahahhaha hilarious
Anton has got to be one of the best guests on Magnus' channel. They make such a great team in anything they do.
The big guy was such a powerhouse full of positive energy - he was the highlight of the video
he was annoying and loud. They probably don't work and have nothing better to do. There's a lot of bums at Venice beach these days
@@GenerationAI1 He was LITERALLY working as they speak.
That's Stephen Davis, he's an all-round great guy 💪🏽
that big dude has the most positive energy ever
Yeah, big dude stole the show. I usually cringe hard when people steal the show like that, but dude had straight up positive vibes only. Both him and his bro, love the energy!
this is his video now LOL
@@dropelaves That's probably why they are on TV
@@dropelaves spot on
@@Elyzeon. Who are they?
I love how the guy said to Magnus "youre clearly a fit guy" he had no idea how much of an understatement that is
Could've been awesome to hear a full interview
@@h4nv from other comments, it’s a segment for an MTV show
@@j.l.5966 nah, unfortunately he’s an alt-right chud that has a show on Turning Point. His name is MAGA Hulk .
@@j.l.5966 He goes by the name MAGA Hulk and is a well-known, far-right idiot. Best stay clear.
@@j.l.5966 What show? What Episode? haha
This video became way more wholesome than I expected. I don't exercise and I would normally feel intimated or embarrassed but they made everyone feel so welcome. What a nice community!
i like that he gave the 59 second guy the money. he didnt have to. the challenge was a whole minute. so that was kind of him.
More from you two please. You're both great and even better together
Really love how nice, supportive, and motivating Magnus is to every contestant. Also glad to see Anton again. You two have always great chemistry together.
Magnus is like that in real life too.
There's no way I'm gonna last for a second @10:42 Magnus thinking the exact same thing
yeah must have ben cold outside
plastic
Big bazookas
LOL!
@@JesusiSKing250 is that why they call them plastic explosives?
I think we all need a hype man like the big guy. He was rooting for everyone.
Your content is really evolving. I will always enjoy your challenge videos, undercover videos, and collab-style vlogs. The Mofat/Moon video really shows how much you have polished your craft (assuming you are still editing by yourself). Can’t wait for the first Magnus documentary
Magnus & Anton are the dynamic duo of spinning bar challenges. Thanks for taking the challenge to the next level.
Hi
10:28 magnus knew exactly what he was doing with that cardboard so close to her. Gotta get the thumbnail haha.
I scrolled aaaaall the way down to find someone else to finally mention that ridiculously hot chick 🤣
@@345345asdasd They're not real
@@christopherstein2024 yyyyyeaaaa that doesnt make her any less hot to me. 🤷♂️
His eyes 😂
That was a neat challenge , everyone was good about just trying and understanding how difficult it is and still being happy to talk and explain. Good job by all contestants and congrats to the winner👏
The energy was SO good and fun when those two guys from MTV showed up. They made everything 10x as hyped up!
Beautiful stuff! Irony is we filmed a video for my channel with this exact challenge 1 day before you posted this, not knowing you were doing this too! LMAO! Coincidence made my head explode lol! Our vid comes out this week haha! Good job guys! Glad you all like our R.G.T rolling handles as much as we do!
haha, he probably heard about it and sniped you! ;)
Dw we'll still watch it haha
@@Daniel-ng8finobody else has
The internet needs more juji and magnus videos!
Can’t wait to watch your vid!!
Saw you film this from my bedroom window. But was home sick our I'd have gone out and cheered you on.
You're Lucky and get better soon(:
That rent has gotta be crazy expensive?!
How much do you pay??
Tell us please :)
You've all got it wrong...Joachim was homesick, as in missing home. He just wasn't feeling sociable (or strong).
this video was amazing! I watched it al, laughed a lot, great chemistry between you and the people you meet with
Finally a video with Magnus and Anton! Been waiting for this for a while!
Would be awesome to see a video with Pete, Anton and you
Lots of giggling with Pepe. Always gets me laughing :).
Dude! That's a collection of the 3 most humble guys. I'd LOVE to see that! It would be cool to see them all do competitions in each other's specialties...ninja warrior, crack climbing....and, uh, being Spiderman. Lol Magnus is pretty exceptional at everything he does.
Anton, Magnus, Pete and Toby Segar 👌
The look to the camera at 10:42 was perfect 😂
a man of culture as well
😂😂😂
That was fun! Come to Miami with the same challenge 💪
What’s that song at the beginning of video?
If those hand grips were not so large people would do it tried this in the gym years ago smaller the handles easier it is
@@brianchester4218 Way to not at all understand the challenge. "I can lift any weight as long as it's only one pound"
Oh, Romania, you never stop giving us the highest quality in everything you do. ☺️
Finally we see Magnus and Anton again. More from this dynamic duo please
That other dynamic duo with the bobsled dude was very positive as well. great vibes
love it =)
What’s that song at the beginning of video?
It's cool seeing Anton on the channel again, the connect between the two of you is such a nice vibe
I wish they would have Anton as a permanent co-host, he's so cool. His co-host in the Death Valley run...
I love the collaboration with Anton! I would like to see more videos with him ^_^
love how the guy stayed around and motivated everyone else 🙌🏼
I'm only two minutes in and got so excited when I heard Anton's voice! I love when you two do videos together
Anton is underrated
As a guy who's been skinny my whole life (135-150 lbs) it blows my mind there's other human beings casually walking around at 350 lbs. Dude is an absolute unit of a man!
Meeee too man. 6’ 35yo at my all time heaviest…140lbs lol…. Some people are just built different!
@@Jagknorr 6’1” and 165 at 16, is crazy how beefy ppl can be
@@Jagknorr It makes me think about like medieval times or ancient tribes and shit... Like imagine your Tribe 30,000 years ago goes to war with another tribe and you see this dude 😂Like bitch I'm dead AF 😂 Or imagine medieval times and you see this dude on a horse in full armor. Like damn just kill me quickly plz sire.
@@TH-dg2mm bigger is not better. as you even see from the challenge here. thin dudes do it, big dude cannot hold 2 seconds. consumes lots of resources. has much less power to weight ratio. less muscle mass to weight. more weigjt/resources consumed to power output. also bigger bones are easier to break as they are longer. There is a reason nature evolution selected mostly shorter men. They are superior.
@@TH-dg2mm Nah, it's all good man. Steroids weren't around back then. :)
as an ex rings gymnast (a very mediocre one) and occasional climber, I believe this is one of the few challenges I could still make Magnus actually impressed, even thou for the last 10 years, my training has been solely an intensive beer can grip and the "banana peeling". xD Joint hypermobility (exacerbated in gymnasts) helps not feeling elbow pain afterwards, and the muscle memory of activating the proper muscles, as well as the psychological training of enduring the fatigue of certain muscles, can be as important if not even slightly more important than pure simple physical fitness. The proper way to grip this depends more on your grip size. Generally, stretched arms is the way to go; what fails is the grip, which will fail sooner the less oxygenated blood gets there. A flexed arm posture will not only use oxygenated blood flow before it reaches your hands, it will also constrict its flow. Unless you're someone training callisthenics and have conditioned your muscles to withstand catabolic functioning, you will hang longer the more oxygenated blood flow you can get up to your wrist. I'd try with stretched arms, legs in half-lotus, and opposite thumb grip (big hands), as so to basically have as little muscle activation but on my arms\forearms. I'd wager i can manage 45 seconds. I'm definitely gonna go visit my former gymnasium and ask my coach just to try this 🤣
Any updates if you tried the challenge?
@@kjfurr I didnt untill I saw your comment. I completely forgot about this, so thank you for reminding me! =D I went to the gymnasium, did 1:12, and I actually really really amazed myself!!! First try, no warm-up, jeans and sweater. I'm currently veeery out of shape (I'm about 1.75m weighing 55kg), still recovering from a health issue, and looking myself in the mirror and seeing a "skeleton" has been really depressing and a motivation killer to start working hard on my physique and try to get back to a decent fitness level. Simply trying this has been such a huge motivation, I can't even put it into words. IDC if you are some average guy or Jason from Friday 13 in real life, but your simple comment reminding me to try this was like a.. life saver (I hate this cliche expression, but I can't find a better one). I ended up monkeying around the double-mini to see if I still got it, and now I'm here with every muscle and joint sore, but I can't remember being this "hopeful" and happy towards myself in a long time. Really, and I mean it. Thank you. EDIT: At my peak form I was a little over 70kg with 5~8% body fat. It makes it extra hard to look at myself in the mirror now, and I've never been this out of shape in my life, so it's hard to find motivation past the "shame" I feel. Thank you again man.
@@rrs_13 I'm so glad you attempted it, and better still that you beat a minute. I would never come close. I am sure it is hard going from being really in shape to not so much, but take one day at a time. I never was much of anything, and at my age, 46, and self destructing body I never will be, but I stay in decent enough shape to turn a few heads. Mainly, I want to stay healthy for my children until I'm 70ish. Walking is probably the best thing I do to stay in shape. 3-5 miles in an hour to hour and a half 3 or 4 days a week. The gym 2 or 3 times a week as my body allows keeps me 170-180 at 5'7". My diet could be much cleaner, but that weight range allows me some leeway and helps me keep some bulk to not feel like a weakling. My goal is to not be injured and don't chase past glory (remember I stated I was never much special so it is easy) and just stay active. I push myself in the gym, but nowadays it is 4-5 sets of each body part and I'll never go back to one body part a day doing sets until I couldn't do anymore. Let any guilt go. Dad bods are loved after all. Skeletons are good too, and you can build from there as health permits. If you aren't at a gym go for it and just start very slow with high reps and low weights. I barely use free weights and stick to the machines. I think going will make you happy and more motivated. Keep me updated here if you get back into it. You probably have so much functional strength, you could just do body weight exercises at home. I am too lazy to do anything at home, so that is why I need the gym membership. Good luck and no matter what happens stay positive.
@@rrs_13 Great job! I'm curious if you used similar grip devices that are shown in this video though. They're quite thick and they also rotate, which I guess would make one's grip fail even faster than a standard ring.
@@sportsentertained That's why I went back to my former gymnasium, to use these rolling grip thingamajigs; hanging from a regular bar fairly easier than this. I did however have it set up high enough so I didnt have to bear this whilst bending my elbows. Maybe that's an unfair advantage? :\ I also have frigging big hands and long fingers (people used to say I should play the bass), and looking at Magnus in this video, my grip is substantially bigger, as in I could almost touch my index with my thumb. I can only ballpark the thickness of the things they used in this video, but it seemed pretty much the same. IDK. Maybe the way I did it makes it not proper to compare it with this challenge, but I don't really care. I'm not competing versus Magnus nor anyone else, just against my biggest enemy: pessimistic me. And each time I do something to counter that douchebag doppleganger of mine, I'm winning vs him.
"I'm an Olympic athlete" "What sport did you do?" "Bobsledding" LMFAOROFL HAHAHAHA
I honestly get so excited when Magnus uploads😂 It’s always Enjoyable to watch
I like the thumbnail 💀
The guy at 8:03 was a beast man! He was so mentally determined to get that win but his body just wasn't capable. He was probably 25 seconds over his normal strength, he's definitely gonna be feeling his biceps tommorow.
Really cool - I love your polite manners to everyone Magnus.
Magnus and Antom together is always a good watch
We all saw that look Magnus hahahah 10:39
It’s a good day when Magnus uploads 🎉
Wait it's actually Jonas lol. It's a good day when either of you two uploads
dang didnt know u were actually a gigachad like that jonas
These videos are fun! thank you magnus!
Magnus is the chillest dude, hope we see another crossover with Martins but now learning some Jiu-jitsu
Anton and Magnus are one of my favorite duos on KZhead they just play off one another so well 😂
Magnus has such a nice personality. He motivates me to workout and be a good person.
I will scroll for ages on youtube and nothing will hold my attention for the whole video but EVERY time I watch Magnus I watch all the way through. :)
"Stay rich Magnus", that guy was chilled! 😁
3:15 that was not close Magnus 😂
Not sure if you will see this mangus. But i wanted to tell you that your videos have inspired me to get in shape and take care of myself more. So while i have yet to do anything than the most casual of bouldering i love your vidoes. So thank you for the inspiration and content.
When that blonde girl said i’m not gonna last a second Magnus had the best reaction😂😂❤
the best combo is back Magnus & Anton
Lol at the guy that rocks up with what is obviously a climber's physique and is like "yeah tried climbing a little bit but I'm really bad at it" - then proceeds to nearly beat the one minute challenge 😂
That big guy was so humble!! So great to see
i like how those 2 dudes just stayed around and hyped up his event. very cool of them to do that considering they prolly weren't paid for that. also *notices most replayed part* seems about right.
These people are so friendly. I love it.
Episodes like this are always fun. Good vibes at the beach!
I am so happy to see another Magnus+Anton video! You two have such an amazing energy together! ^^
I originally was about to skip this video, but as soon as Anton appeared, I was not leaving. Anton should be in the video title The fans love Anton
Love it, it is interesting but most importantly connects you with the public
I love these. They always attract some really interesting characters.
Anton and Magnus together just makes everything better.
Magnus you keep impressing me with all the great videos, so extremely fun to watch, tho I am no climber myself, I have begun taking interest in climbing, and all the challenges and collabs you do is great 🙂You have to do more with Anton soon, maybe do some fun stuff in the Ninja gym?
I’ve had few friends from Norway and I can say for sure they are like no others. My favorite friends to hang with! Norway must be a pretty cool place to visit.
So happy Anton is back!!
Thank you Magnus for helping promote healthy life-style, I wish it would be as easy to find multi-pitch climbing partners as it is for you, stay strong! PEACE!
So good to see Magnes and Anton together again!!! 🤙
You both work well together! Wish we could get Anton to fully commit to climbing though, LOL
Magnus is a freak of nature. He had more in him when he let go at 60 seconds... insane.
10:39 Magnus thinking: I wouldn't last a second either
So glad to have a video with you and Anton again!
3:45 So happy he realises that :) I'm 280lbs myself and 6'6. Pull-ups, hanging, whatever pulls my entire body... tough AF.
So nice to see Magnus and Anthon in a video again !
ANTONNNNN!!!!! We missed you guys together 🔥🔥
Good to see you guys together again!❤
Man, that huge guy is awesome! Gentle giant for sure! But a girl with 4 seconds stole my heart ) Overall great video, love it! )
Yay! Welcome back, Anton!
The energy in this video is amazing. Love the crowd.
Love your videos with Anton. Such a wholesome friendship you guys have
magnus knows how to get them clicks! lol, loved this one
I’ve got him hitting the ground at 59.21 seconds. Good on you guys for giving him the W on that still. Top class 👍
Glad to see Anton again. Love him!!
Great to see the two legends together! Come to New York and conduct this challenge in Central Park!🤙💪🔥
9:00 That guy uses a ton of shoulder to compress the two handles together and remove the rotational force. Amazing!
Magnus' thumbnail game is strong in this one lmao
Solid thumbnail choice Magnus, you know your audience well
That looks crazy hard, respect to all who managed even half the time! As a woman with small hands I'd struggle to hold on at all even though I've done some climbing. Would be interesting to try a much smaller rolling handle though to get an idea of how much it differs from a fixed bar.
The fat grip makes it super hard. I've got some non spinning fat grips installed on part of my pull up bar and it is so much harder to hang from than just the bar. Practically turns it into an endurance test of pinch grip strength.
this isn't a fun challenge. you need to be tall (big hands) and skinny.
@@goku445 no, you just need to do the „dead hang“ some days a week for 30-45 seconds. I am not skinny and can do it. It is called training 😜
@@bk7212 this size of the handle is teh thing. If you have big hands you have a better grip
@@goku445 100%. I can easily hang from a chin up bar for 60 seconds but with a giant rolling grip, it looks a lot harder.
videos with anton and magnus are best^^
magnus + anton = dream team
Fun challenge Magnus, really enjoy your videos.
Love seeing Anton+Magnus again!
Comment for the algorithm! 😁 No, seriously, I really like these challenges because it's fascinating to see how different people approach such a task mentally. And the "freakish endurance" guy is always a surprise!
Very interesting to watch! Thank you
10:23 the dude was watching Magnus' moves closely and luckily Magnus was respectful af 😂😂
You're a fit brother Magnus!! Too funny. This might be my favorite non-climbing video you've done where it would have been nice just to hang out with you and Anton and watch the festivities. Especially with the nice lady in the tank top from England.
He should have had Maga hulk climbing in the gym
He would rip the wall down
@@dkitt-1 exactly
3:44 "Heck no! I am three hundred and fifty pounds, there' no way that's hangin up there no longer than ten seconds" I love his voice xD
Loved the second guy, great energy lol
It has been a lot of time since we saw Anton in one of your videos! More colabs with him would be cool! Great video!
Anton and Magnus!!! Can't wait for next videos coming up! 😁♥️
You knew what you were doing with that thumbnail. And god damn it, it worked.
Fun video Magnus. Thanks for doing this.
thumb over is always better for static hanging. I've tried both ways so many times it never fails to be better than thumb gripping. My theory is that using your thumb engages ALL the rest of your musles in your hand, wrists and forearms leading to lactic acid buildup much much faster whereas just throwing your fingers over the top allows a much more relaxed hang. Its like carpeltunnel/tendonitis. Those disorders really flare up and hurt when you engage the thumb because of the tension and strength it requires. At least for my mom. Not sure if that is really common but it would make sense to me
I love anton, he's always so positive, he'd be awesome to work out with. "Comeon, go for hundred! Go for hundred!"
This makes it seem like in LA everyone has a show. Just random people walking down the beach shooting their own shows.
