😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮lllĺ0 p pⁿø⁰
You should do a video with Toby!! Try to follow him for one day of training ;) dont know if you saw his last video with ROAP but he is a freaking machine!
It's always fun with you, Magnus. I hope I have surprised you in some of these tricky challenges (sometimes even myself). 😀See you next time somewhere at the crag!
I kinda wanna see your grandmother do some of these now 😉
You sound like some kind of pre historic bird when you laugh lol!
A baby tetradactyl, so cute
I really enjoyed watching this video, you guys are amazing. BUT you did the "egg challenge" wrong because the egg has a way more stronger side and you crushed on the weak side!
Thanks for creating the course! I'm looking forward to it :)
Ondra climbs so much he can’t do any push movements, even when laughing he’s only pulling air in unable to push it out LOL
Lmao!
Underrated
He's like a real-life alligator - super strong bite (pull), much weaker opening (push)
I believe all muscles only pull, actually
@@kpNov23🤓☝️
„You didn’t get pumped?“ Funniest Adam ever! 😂😂
Just started watching and I’m already hearing Adams amazing laugh😂😂
In italian that's called, il grido della foca. The seadog scream.
🤌🤌🤌
@@mr.cookedfish9978el grito de la foca in spanish lol, the scream of the seal
@@mr.cookedfish9978😆
The velociraptor call!
Frodo: They've come... Adam: 7:56 Faramir: NATZGUUUL!!!!
😂😂😂
I’ve made the video. It’s uploaded to my channel :)
@@OnLee_Qualitychecked it out! Nice one 😂😂
@@OnLee_Quality hahahahaha that's amazing! I'm laughing my ass off! Thank you for making my comment come to life!
@@Daniele.Rossini Haha, thanks for the timestamp, it was just too perfect to not make it happen :)
21:50 “I don’t know what to do with my long neck” BEST THING I’VE HEARD ADAM ONDRA SAY! 🤣🤣🤣
Adam in the intro 🫏🫏🫏🫏
i thought it was a hawk
I thought it sounded like a clicker
And outro! 🤣
I thought it sounded like a squealing 🐷 😂
Pterodactyl mating call
Adam and Magnus are like two mischievous brothers when they are together 😂
Watching Adam Ondra with those monster arms being unable to bench 80 kilos was the most life-affirming thing that's happened to me this week.
He can pull incredibly hard but pushing is different.
Dude, monster arms? he has skinny long arms = bad leverage and he's not used to the exact movement as you can see while he is setting himself up there. No wonder could not bench (I believe) significantly higher than his bodyweight.
@@josefzocek9585 He has long arms but they're fairly muscular, specially his biceps. Makes sense, that's a muscle that develops from climbing. He can't bench because benching targets the chest, shoulders and triceps. Nothing at all to do with biceps.
Monster arms? LOL. LMAO, even. It was 70 kg, and even then, he didn't properly bench 60 kg. The bar has to touch your chest. His arms are small. He's small. He's just stupidly lean.
you know that you mostly need pecs to bench press right?
This isn’t actually a KZhead video, it’s just two really strong lads having a laugh. Fantastic video!
"This isnt a KZhead video... fantastic video"
So so good. The two of you are so goofy together. I was laughing at your antics the whole time. I'm now going to Adam's channel to watch more.
Adam shaking his arms out out of habit when holding his breath made me piss myself laughing
Why is this a habit to do when holding your breath can you explain?
Adam's laughter at 8:02 is now my ringtone
I think this can be interesting to get a call in the middle of the night
He's got that perfect KEKW laugh under his belt.
Pterodactyl laughing 😂
@@dmitry.gashkoEspecially if you've got a partner who doesn't know about it, lmao
Raptor laughing behavior
It's crazy how perfect Adam is for climbing, he's terrible at every exercise that isn't useful to climbing, but makes climbing look like a dream. Actual minmaxing
And he's ridiculously lean and lanky too.
Adams velociraptor laugh is giving me life
lol ikr
17:50 has me dying, the banter, the look of shock on Magnus' face, then when Magnus repeats it he sounds so Irish "my grandmudder can do it" just a phenomenal sequence of events 😂
Hahahahaha 😂 no Irish tho
Its so great that we get to see adam, stefano, will bosi, jakob etc on youtube. I cant think of another sport with such good content made by the athletes.
I love this aspect of the climbing community. I do think there are a few exceptions but they are also not mainstream sports. For example, Mitchell Hooper has some pretty fun stuff (worlds strongest man), Haftor Bjornnson (WSM making a huge comeback after a major pec tear last year), Bob Jones (powerlifter - explicit language but also interesting), and Taylor Atwood (also a powerlifter who is making a bit of a comeback?).
What was so, so wild/cool that can never be appreciated enough about Mangus' early collabs with Juji was seeing a world class athlete doing goofy Internet challenges alongside normal people in a candid video. It's both super entertaining and fascinating. Love the tradition continuing lol.
We need more people like Magnus too. Personally cant stand the channels like Jesse james west its just so cringe and over the top
“…Some food will go to waste.” I LOVE ADAM ONDRA,
I would love to see something like this with Janja at some point. I think she would be very good at all of this :D
Janja did a video on Natasha Oceane's channel recently, not quite the same but similar energy, very fun to watch as well. She can do a better one-arm pull-up than Adam!
"I don't know what to do with my long neck" was just too funny!
Adam shaking out is hilarious, I can't even imagine how much of your life must be spent climbing to make that an actual ingrained reflex 🤣
I love Adam's energy so much. He has such a great smile and laugh
Adam's laugh is so genuine, it's hard not to laugh with him 😂 I found myself with a huge smile on my face at multiple points in this video
Really love the collabs with Ondra! So much good energy.
Adam Ondra: We just climbed 9 hours, lets flash some comp boulders... also Adam Ondra: gets pumped from holding breath
Didn't think id ever laugh harder at a climbing video in my life than when you both just tried to hold your breath LMAO Adam crimped his nose so hard he got a pump that's true climber mode! it reminded me of making eye contact with your homie in class and both trying to not die of laughter for no reason at all
I actually had the same problem with 1 arm pull up as Adam, but after 8 years of climbing I figured out that the movement from straight hand to "where climbers start to feel strong" can be done wrong (I was doing it wrong). If I do it wrong, I am locked in ~150 degrees arm angle unable to move up. But if I do it is correct then I can keep pulling. I took my time just to learn this movement from straight to bent arm (I even stood underneath hangboard tensing and releasing my muscles without actual hanging just to learn the feeling of that movement until I figured out how to do it to have correct feeling when I get into bent arm position). I also did small amount of repetitions of "that part of movement that I used to do wrong". Once my brain figured out that movement and my muscles got used to it a little bit (around 3 weeks) I unlocked full one arm pull up. I am not even sure which part of that movement I did wrong, but I know the feeling of correct vs incorrect movement is different and learnable. At least in my case it was learnable. :)
Possibly engaging your scapula more (i.e. pulling your shoulder blades down and back)?
the best intro ever
It's so funny to hear Adam Ondra laugh.😄Really interesting video tough!
3:20 The wingspan of that guy is INSANE! To reach an IPF technically correct bench press, his elbows must drop below his shoulders, and then the bar must touch his chest (and I think there is a maximum grip width), so the proper bench form for Adam still requires a huge arch in his back to raise his chest to the bar once his elbows are down.
21:49, dead hang. Adam's expression, Zen and the Art of One Arm Dead Hang. Great video, Magnus and Adam. Good to see you both having so much fun, and giving us so much fun too.
I love the chemistry you guys have. I felt like we were watching a video of you guys when you were kids just having a good time
"were not gonna let any food go to waste".. that made me smile since i was raised with that mindset
This is so wholesome and adorable, man you guys are perfect as a duo😅
Being 53 years old i really wish i became aware of climbing when i was younger when all my joints still worked.
It's never to late! Don't put constraints on yourself, it's only negative no positive.
My knees and right shoulder do not concur.@@Jack-my9nz
As a 71 year old climber who was a 70 year old couch potato and way overweight, I can tell you, yes you can. I could hardly climb the simplest route when I started. Just give it a try, you'll surprise yourself.
It's never to late. Where ever you're starting from, you can improve.
Ask for advice from a physio before training but it's really not late. A korean guy started climbing at 53 and recently climbed v15
17:51 i love the disgusted look on his face after he said that 😂
I didn't read any disgust, just good humor and laughter. And to be fair, women (in general) would have an advantage in that type of exercise because they have a lower center of gravity. From the NIH - women commonly have an 8 - 15% lower longitudinal center of gravity (COG or center of mass relative to height) than men.
That part made me laugh so hard!! 😂
Awesome, I was binging your videos yesterday and the next day, you upload one. Your videos are always highly appreciated, Magnus!
When you just came home from a Bouldering Session and Magnus uploaded-you know ist gonna be a great evening!
Love all your videos Magnus, but it was so nice and wholesome to see you and Adam have that genuine laughter and fun together! First time I have seen that much genuine laughter and joy from you, good to see❤️ You have always a good spirit, but was like you really let your self loose, but have to give Adam credit for that also 😊Keep up the good work, you always have good content Magnus! Kjærlighet fra Trondheim ❤️
Magnus spoiling us with 2 uploads in 1 day 😁
Nice one Magnus. Btw adam using his foot while campusing at 16:33 👀
“Some food will go to waste.” 🤣
This is amazing lol. I laughed so hard when Adam was shaking out for the breath holding challenge 😂
Adam 44,5-45 street shoes, 40 to 41 climbing shoes max for comps and high level, and to 38 in the past : MY FEET HURTS HEARING THAT !! And now I've a good excuse for not doing 9a, I've comfortable climbing shoes, that's why !
Surprised with how small his feet are for such a tall guy. He's really built for climbing.
Holy shit I would not have guessed Ondra benching under 80. It really goes to show how spesialized he is! Like he is often training several times a day, and I absolutely destroy him on that just going to the gym once or twice a week. Of course I am then also stuck at a very impressive v3 level
Complete side note, but I really appreciate the editor for including Adam's socials and timestamps in the description. There's a recent trend in big channels where they don't bother editing the copy-paste description, even for collab videos, and that's been bugging me. Also, great video as always, obviously!
"Hold your thighs and then jump" Ondra out here doing dynos into stretch positions 😂
16:31 Adam kinda cheesed himself out of the campus with his left foot :) of course still impressive, I couldn't climb that even with feet 😆
Muscle memory
I can't stop smiling watching these collaborations. Totally infectious.
had some great laughs and a great time watching you guys together! keep em coming
My favorite content on KZhead by far at the moment. This is how fun going to the gym should be ahahah. More videos from you together please !!!
21:36 just two dudes hanging out together
The fact that Adam can't bench press a ton of weight is so much more inspiring to me than if he could, it makes me feel like I really have a chance. Thanks for the awesome video!!
You and Adam have such a great rapport, it's so fun to watch you guys goofing around!
You both are so wholesome in this video! I'm so happy and relieved that someone that strong physically can show so much vulnerability and compassion, and allow themselves to be silly.
6:45 yes, increase your heart rate before attempting to hold your breath.
7:56 Amazing how a velociraptor became the best climber in the world
Two videos at once at such high quality 👍. So impressed by your's and Adam's performances. Had a lot of fun watching and definitively more than one tear of laughter 🤣.
Wonderful rythm, this video was truly so cool to watch !! I mean I like most of your videos and I just finished reading your books so I wanted to leave a comment. Congrats for everything you've done, the life you live, and although this video got a bit less views than the others, I hope you enjoyed producing it as much as I did watching it
Dude,,, the fact Magnus says his best bench was “only 103kg”,,,,, haha what! That’s about 230 pounds,,, he weighs like 150/160,,, and never trains bench……. That’s crazy
This is such a fun video! I was smiling ear to ear the whole time! Thanks Magnus!
One of my favorite videos to date! You guys are having so much fun the laughter is contagious. Great to see Adam being so goofy.
y'all are hilarious together; your videos at Adam's gym a year or two ago had me laughing so it's great to see another one with similar energy! (while also still being super interesting for actual climbing content!)
how does bro laugh like that at the beginning?/??
I think I understand him, he said “🦜”.
“You didn’t get pumped” 🤣🤣🤣 I cried hahha I’m still crying!!
Perhaps my favourite video on this cahnnel. So entertaining and you're left with such a good mood. Thanks guys.
I legit thought Adam was about to tickle Magnus's side during the one arm dead hang
Cannot tell you how much I appreciate the no food wasting thing.
I completely lost it during the breath holding challenge 😂
I work in gardens and we instal curbs sometimes. Standard size we use is in cm 5x15x100. Easy to lift by pinching. Next size 6x20x100 already difficult. 6x30x100 only just. I woud love to see you guys handle these concrete curbs. Bet you can even pinch and lift 10x20x100.
once, while my PE teacher was talking to the class outside, near a walnut treee, some kids were trying to open walnuts and not listening. So the teacher stopped talking, took their walnuts, cracked them in his hands like nothing, and then gave them back to them. I can tell you everyone was listening closely after that
The intro of Ondra turning into a velociraptor is gold.
"You didn't get pumped?" hahaha
i like seeing their video collabs. they have a lot of chemistry that makes it fun to watch.
Magnus’ ability to be just so freakishly good at almost anything he tries is so absurd, I mean we all know he can climb, but why is he like a top callisthenics athlete for example
Gotta respect Magnus for shouting out his friends' side projects, like Adam's climbing course as seen here. Lot of creators tend not be supportive enough to their collaborators.
Part of the deal most likely. It's an understanding
He owns the company selling the course
Straight off the bat, cracking a walnut in your hands is pretty bad ass. I don't care if it is actually easy if you have the technique, it is still cool as heck!
You both are big inspiration😊 thanx for good videos and just lot of positiv vibes ❤
Its always nice to see people you like getting really more comfortable and genuinly friendly together
I love Adam, he’s just so wholesome:)
Already wheezing from the first 10 seconds :D
This was so much fun to watch. Usually we see you both concentrate and look serious while climbing. But this felt really fun and relaxed and your laughs are infectious 👍🏻 x
The touching the toes thing - my dad in his 60's could still could put his palms flat on the floor in front of his feet. My granddad was a circus acrobat, he used to walk up and down the stairs in his hands drunk at Christmas to impress us kids in his 60's - dad was a footballer. He still has incredible dexterity in his old age. Rides his pushbike to the pub (and home again drunk). Me? I have no flexibility at all! Nothing. My legs won't even go straight in front of me sat down, they bend at the knee! Noticeably. It was my biggest hangup climbing. I'd have to do moves that didn't require any stretching. When I climb now, it's only very easy low energy moves. But I'm old now. The only ability I inherited from them was the ability to operate normally when drunk! Lol. Thanks genetics! I can drink, but I'm rubbish at football and totally unflexable. I'd blame my mum, but she would probably laugh and say "well you got my brains!"
imagine Adam laughing if he hit a bong lmfao
Adam the type of guy to get pumped pinching his nose 😂😂
That pinch swap at 7:00 was clean!
this was great. thanks magnus & adam
Never climbed a day in my life but one day I will learn how the grading system works :D
Adam dying with laughter was the best thing I saw today
Loved the video, it was really interesting to see the challenges
I'm honestly so encouraged to see some of the greatest climbers struggle with some of these things lol
2 pro climbers HIGH on a lack of oxygen!!. 😂
There are rumors that Adam Ondra voiced the clickers in The Last of Us ;)
my fav videos are these with adam! please do alot more!
The walnut thing is weird because these guys have absolute monster hands and had troubles, but my grandpa used to just crack them open casually between his thumb and index finger while watching tv. Kind of have to respect the power you build over the years hauling heavy shit all day.
Cheeky Adam sneaking in a foot in a campus challange at 16:33
Soon in the Rungne shop, chalk with walnut flavour! The mag-nut!
Just a joy to watch both of you laughing so much! ❤ from Canada
holy this video bring some pace and energy, love it.
