most Norwegians are fluent in English

@@tussalgull5986 Yeah, I know, but it's just cool that they chose to speak English just for us. I can speak Italian, but I'm much more comfortable speaking English. I wouldn't dream of doing a video in Italian. In summary, English speaking nationalities are lucky that they can get away with moving to many countries, but not even bother to learn the language. Everyone else will do it for you.

@@salvatorebelloni8422 I live in a region with a big american military base and it's always funny when new soldiers and their family arrive. 50% "what the f...why are so many of you speaking our language?" and 50% be like "why are some people who work in stores NOT speaking English?" Some are baffled in that way, some the other way around...but always baffled. ^^ - for those who expect bus drivers or sales assistants to speak english...be aware that we learn English in school and those who were pretty good in school aren't typically learning these professions. Not that there wouldn't be smart and bilingual people, just about the majority.

@@torstent8979 I always find it interesting how casually English is spoken in other countries. In the UK, we also learn another language at school, but nobody really learns it properly, even people who have high grades. I have relatives who speak two languages, and I've very, very rarely met someone else who is bilingual, even if they are of migrant descent. If you speak two languages in the UK, it's considered impressive. Where as in your country, I imagine speaking two languages is just the norm. I think it's hard for non native English speakers to understand just how unusual it would be to expect your average British person to be capable of speaking another language briefly, let alone do a whole video in it.

@@salvatorebelloni8422 British people are just lucky their language is widely spoken. I think education would drive other languages more if we had a niche language like Norwegian. By knowing English we can work in many different jobs and in multiple different countries around the world. You'd be a lot more limited in your prospects if you only spoke Norwegian.

@ Whistle -- * a part The word "apart" means "separate from," which is the opposite of what you intended.

@@rondonnis6588Yes, they were humoring him, but they do deeply respect him

True that, I guess it's because when you train as a climber you always go for full range of motion so it's muscle memory maybe.

@@janu1472 Yeah, he trains that way so probably a habit. But I think he could squeeze out a few more reps if he didn't exert himself more than necessary. But it really doesn't matter. I've seen Clarence Kennedy do squats at a powerlifting meet. You don't have to go below parallel, but he would go ass to grass. It's simply not that important to them I guess.

His chin was a few inches above the bar & then he would lift his chin up. You can't get a better pullup form than that.

@@targeted1948 I'm saying he could make it easier on himself.

Targeted 1 I mean you can. Pulling full chest to the bar

@@danielandrews1801 Nah, there has been minimal pillaging of the British Isles. The Telemark Battalion is pretty cool, though, and they have been known to shout "To Valhalla!" before entering battle, on occasion.

@@MrVeps1 I'm confused. Isn't this video from Norway? Lol.

@@danielandrews1801 yeah, but "Viking" was more of a profession than a people. If you went viking it basically meant you got on a boat and started raiding foreign coastlines. Those guys aren't that big on pillaging English monestaries, thus the joke.

@@andrewseburn Magnus is a good guy. I think he went super strict on the pull ups so he wouldn't beat the guy by too much.

@@davidhunternyc1 have you met American soldiers? I sure hope you are talking about Americans, not American soldiers.

It is the Nordic way

@Connor Gaughan At the top, it's hard to quantify but you know it when you see it. Magnus just pulls the bar to and through his chest. scapulas are fully sucked back, retracted and down. this allows the biceps to fully contract.

@Connor Gaughan you are correct about that, but it's not only about arm muscles, if you go full lockout and let go of your shoulder you have to depress it again. I'm not sure which is harder and I'm sure it's different for every person though. I like going from a passive hang with fully extended arms to active hang to pull up. And I can do less pull ups this way

@@johnsullivan676 biceps is the least activated arm flexor in a not supinated position, heavier load is on the brachialis (which as far as I know is a stronger arm flexor than the biceps yet a lot of people are unaware of it's existence) and brachioradialis in this style of pull up

@Connor Gaughan yea just give it a try and see if it suits you

Bros name is magnus that’s a alpha male right there

I bursted out laughing man. Bless you! 😂

The explosiveness on those situps... scary!

Yes those sit-ups were amazing I think he is just bulked up

Terrible form on deadlifts and pull-ups, though

But im worried for his back his form for deadlifts is not good.

@@tuttifrutti2229 Yes

Even if we could try that hard and keep up with the pump on big muscles, for us, regular people, our hands would just pop-off before we can give that much effort 🤣🤣

Thats actually not perfect form, he hug the weight with his legs and push it forward, make the lock-out a lot easier.

@@rochoddo5380 At the same time he went way higher than he needed to, so all in all he could've done many more.

@ZonZorZerx not really i don't think, he is capable of going so high in part cause of the leverage (help tremendously with the lockout) and he is doing it pretty much from the get go. I know he is mad strong just pointing this out cause everyone praise the form, you can even see the guy compting the rep looking at him do that, wouldn't pass if they were strict with him. It really make an absolutly massive difference.

the last ones weren't perfect form tho...

True, but it also does depend on the unit. SOF units like the 75th aren’t like that.

@@strykerjones8842 unfamiliar with what your talking about tbh, could you elaborate? Whats new with the military?

@@kevinnavarro5848 The United States Special Operations Command has implemented a “Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan”. This is exactly what it sounds like, there will be quotas on whom is accepted into the program and who will qualify to be an operator in our special ops. This will be imposed on the men training and determining who qualifies as our highest level spec op teams. If these men don’t fall in line with the quotas they will be forced from the military. Our military is currently under a “stand down” order while members of the armed forces who are deemed to have been loyal to former President Trump are weeded out. We call it a “stand down” Lenin called it a “Purge”. Our military is being politicized and not a single word from the “Media”. They will be the boot heel of authoritarianism in short order. Don’t take my word for it, look into yourself. The National Guard is still in Washington D.C. they never left, they’ve fenced it all off. All the Guardsmen were “verified” before they were deployed to be “loyal”.

@@strykerjones8842 Yawn. The loony, authoritarian Trump Cult tried to murder politicians and subvert democracy. That's why there has been so much security. You people are so weak minded. Even the word diversity makes you tremble.

ya :D i like things like these collabs, its a good mix of climbing and other content

Remember how great a runner he is. Magnus is super impressive and he’s a genuinely good person.

@@914Rocky That running test was bullshit.

With which runner did he do a collab with?

I want to see him box Eddie.

He generated so much force it rattled the entire contraption

he is Thomas the engine

dude..

As someone who trains, the massive intensity he showed at the beginning absolutely robbed him on how many he could do total. There's a Goldilocks zone to rep speed, too slow and the extended engagement time kills you, too fast and the inertia acts as extra weight, and if you go full intensity, the only limiting factors are muscle engagement speed, and strength against that inertial effect, such that in some cases youre essentially doing near max muscle capacity on every rep, slowing down as the muscle fatigues and looses capability. I absolutely think if he did it at the same speed as magnus hed have another 5 or so reps in it. Even with weight youre used to, nothing leaves you feeling dead after a set like hitting it with intensity.

Noone think him hitting the floor of the contraption so hard gave him an unfair advantage? He seemed to bounce off of it which I would suspect gave him momentum on the positive half of the rep.

Like most places in the world in Norway you will find people all along the personality specter from the truly vile psychopaths, to people you would be proud to call your friends and everything in between. I might be wrong but I do believe the battalion screen for personal aptitude so they weed out at least a significant part of the douchebags.

Norwegians has something called jantelåven. It means that you shouldn't blow your own horn, brag or believe you're better than anyone else. It's both a curse and a blessing. The society traditionally has humbleness as the ideal.

@@taffelost6221 Same in Sweden, Jantelagen

@@taffelost6221 Thats interesting. I'd call it a blessing, but I can see why its also a curse, as its probably a little awkward trying to sell yourself.

@@tommymack3210 agreed! I just think that for these types of tests, proper form and timing is what to aim for. At least that is what we did when I was in the US army. But definitely, if your aim is to build strength and muscle, the way Magnus was doing was perfect 👌

whenever magnus does an excersize and not a movement you can tell he tries to move as smoothly and train himself as efficiently as possible, but if he was going for as many as possible with only the limits set he definitely could get more
