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.

@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 😃

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.

I highly suggest never saying that phrase

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.

Just dumb meatheads.

thats cuz gymrats have the biggest bodies and the smallest confidence

u dont know what that means lol

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

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

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

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 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

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.

His form was so bad though

@@Rockmaster867 even with « bad form » i don’t think a lot of people could do 18 reps lmao

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 😆

The way she said "no, I just work out" low key underpaying it.

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.

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

That’s what I like - the positivity . No politics or weirdness. Happy , healthy people being positive .

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)

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 can barely do 1 minute, I never know if I slipped or pretended to slip to stop feeling the pain.

Even the muscle ups, he was encouraging people to keep going and beat his number. Very admirable. Not about his ego.

And she looks like 50... sport is the way

I mean he was also kicking nd crossfor kickingn(called kipping)Isnt actually bad form.its called a kipping muscle up

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

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.

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

thing as a kid you still got that crazy stamina going lol

@@NonsensicalSpudz and a freaking sweet weight to power ratio

We’ve all been there bro cmon

Bro same I find myself checking back frequently to see if there’s new videos. His vibe is amazing

I agree, noticed that too

The second and third hanging guy also used chalk so i assume they offered

These are not muscleheads exercises though, the heavy one would be is so much disadvantages

I suspect a large part is many people declining immediately thinking it's some kind of scam (notice some asked if there was a buy-in). It's LA after all. And then there's a lot of meatheads who don't want to be humiliated on camera, and would only participate at something they know they are going to win.
