I can't make this up lol, I'm a Canadian uni student and I had a paper due yesterday, and this one ebook I wanted wasn't available in my country, so I tried a bunch of nord servers and ended up using Norway and that unlocked my book 🤣🤣🤣 Ngl I ended up submitting it incomplete but still, papa nord was there for me :')

Hey, love the vid! Would apprecizte if there was a link to the other video on Sondre channel (if it is up yet)? Thanks

Sondre should be a regular on the channel, I would love to see you two climb together more. just have a regular sesh with a low-climb-IQ superhuman, get him outside when he's ready, literally show him the ropes.

Do we have to report this to the police? I'm pretty sure he was held hostage when he had to promote this is in the beginning of the video. I think ... they drugged him ! I hope he is save now....

Using NordVPN you trust NordVPN as company with all your security. I would not

Samee

I thought he did a face swap with his gf or something but then I thought they both had men's pecks~

@@rage8kage XD

Missing the ferocious Viking beard tho

Why are you lying so obviously

Magnus let's pin him so we all find his channel more easily :)

dude you are huge

Subscribe to Sondre everybody, do it now

bro no way you are human gotdamn

DUUUUDE YOU’RE AMAZING

Ngl, in that case he looks kinda lame...

@@thefattesthagriddude you look lame.

It also can be for non-Norwegians 😉

And yet, here you are---in ENGLISH! 🤣😂😅

Id love to speak ur language but why do i need to when mine is the the most efficient clearly.

@@shmit3237 If you have to ask why learning another language than your own might be worth the effort … well …

@@shmit3237LMAO English is definitely not the most efficient language. It's just the one currently that'll make you the most money because English speaking advertisements pay more.

Along with that, finger strength, and just strength in general, for climbing is also oddly specific, and doesn't seem to transfer very well from other sports.

It’s more like 80% technique to be hinest

@@Coookr It definitely depends on holds and angle. You could get up something nutty hard with no technique and insane finger strength (through the kinetic chain). No amount of technique will compensate for that, but equally you're not getting up a hard slab without insane technique.

climbing is very specific strength. If he climbed a few times in short succession, his strength would shoot up just due to neural adaptation. Imagine squatting for the first time. You couldn't squat very much even if your legs were very strong because of the new movement.

Technique is the foundation. Strength's what you build on top of it. The better the one, the better the other. Not just climbing, just about every physical endeavor.

That's interesting never would have thought that about him. Now I want to see day in a life or a video more about him.

When he started talking about eliminating as many variables as possible I had a feeling he had some kind of formal education but wasn't expecting PhD level! Crazy how he manages to do both sports and education at such a high level!

Electrical engineering school is brutal. Undergrad destroyed my mental health, can't even begin to imagine grad school lol

@some guy good point. Brutal, but good point. It may be too late for who you're telling that to tho.

PhD my ass

Appollo

😂😂😂💯😊

Imagine if he grew a viking beard

@@johnssmith4005 you mean hollywood viking-movie beard

Exactly like me, apart from the body.

Briefly expressive,thanks

I was surprised to see Eddie Hall did better than this guy tho

Hehe, I'm at the beginning of climbing and strength and body mass definitely seem to play a huge role. Can only do a 2-3 climbs before it's time to go home because my grip is so shot and my forearms are done. I can't wait to get over that bump and start learning more technique.

@@Koraxus He's doing much harder problems than Eddie Hall did.

@@Koraxus No eddie Hall started from beginner walls and that made him look good since it's 3/4 of the video until i think he got to 5a. Sonde is starting from 6a and tries much harder climb, i realized that in the video as it made him look bad and incapable to do anything which is misleading,

Scandinavians are generally, not arrogant people.

ok

Its that KZfaq algorithm you're being watched 😎

Ur an npc

the universe made this video for you my friend.

haha that's great! I only found Magnus' channel a couple of weeks ago and I'm hooked.

Core strength plays much less of a role in calisthenics than people think (and climbing too, for that matter). Sondre's strongest point is his pushing strength, especially his absurd shoulder strength in bent-arm moves ; of course his core strength is good, but that's not where the money is made.

Why would you consider it weird, the Scandinavian phenotype is rather unique. Pale skin and blond hair is only commonly found in the Nordic region and Western Russia. But Slavs, even if having blond hair, tend to look rather dissimilar to Scandinavians in regard to facial features.

Superior genetics, mentally and physically.

@@SweBeach2023 Slavs have that slight central Asian facial structure thanks to the Huns.

@@codeman9145 Babyface superior genetics lmao

@@kongvinter33 there's genetics data already, you don't have to rely on made up stories. There are many different ethnicities in Russia with different phenotypes.

it's INSANE. 14:39 he just hand stands like he's going to pick up a newspaper in the driveway.

I think there's a lot of people watching that don't fully comprehend the ridiculous finger and upper body strength that he has. And there's plenty of top tier climbers even stronger than him.

I have a reply that I can't see. KZfaq at it again with the censorship ?

@@alexandermathie66 It might be a bot that someone reported?

@@mekko902 yeah think so

I agree. I'm a 98z climber.

I think finger strength is probably the biggest bottle neck. No amount of body weight training on a bar/rings will ever train your fingers to the degree that climbing will.

'i can barely do 1 arm pull ups'. thats pretty strong mate.

@@rorycannon7295 with support from the other arm, without I can’t. To climb a v7 you need some physical ability, but relative to this guy, I’m not strong. We can climb the same grade cuz of my 2 years more experience than him was all I was saying, it’s interesting and kinda made me proud of myself

@@test-zg4hv by one arm with support I mean 1 arm grabbing that bar and 1 arm grabbing the arm that’s grabbing the bar

Ahhh yes, the one armed pull up with support from the other arm. Also known as a regular pull up. lol I'm just messin wit you

ok

couldnt agree more !!!!

@Koos Grebe How old are you mate?

Yep, best energy I've seen in Magnus' videos so far

its the exact same for me... I couldnt believe it when i saw the thumbnail

It takes you a year and a half to learn how to do a handstand? Canada sucks. They restrict their people from self defense Trudeau is an idiot

@@alphasheep99 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

Nice

Excellent

Super

Yes

Very good

He has also been climbing for fun for years by his own admission. Nothing beats experience.

With me it was the other way. I had decided to take up climbing as a sport. I picked up a lot of gear (for over 16.000 NOK) and put it in the shopping cart at the rungne web-shop. Then i saw how insanely good they were and emptied the shopping cart and went to rema-1000 and bought chips and hot-dogs.

@@swedishpsychopath8795 that's is a lot of chips and hot dogs!

@@milkman2591 lol!

I thought the same. Magnus could blow an artistic gymnast' s mind due his proprioception, spacial orientation and speed reflex. I' d love to see him attempting MAG, especially rings and *horizontal bar* As the cherry on top of the cake, Magnus has naturally hyperextended knees so imagine what an elegant lines!

@@sebumpostmortem I think Magnus barely had balance training, but he have extremely good body coordination, surely he could learn fast, not very fast but faster than average person Edit: magnus actually trained handstand years sgo

What ever happened to Magnus Scheving? From that show lazy town? He was magnificent

Thanks Mark, keep watching!

yh anyone he gets on who isnt used to climbing seems to find climbing hard even though they are good at most physical activities

Probably more a matter of technique than strength in their case.

@@Cangaca777 Not just technique really. The body has so many muscles and if you do the same routines most of them will not develop that well. What you need for bouldering isn't the same you need for Sondre's exercises/stunts. When I still climbed I had a number of routines and tools to develop my grip, for example. Certain hand-muscles you rarely need in our lives but are crucial for a strong grip on the wall.

@@OytheGreat That makes sense yes! so your body kinda "designs" itself based on the activities you do.

the key is light weight, the bigger you get the harder it gets, even if it's all muscle mass (strength), the strength cannot overcome the weight and gets weaker the heavier you get. all pro climbers and short skinny people..

Oh, wait, I can be the best at everything.... But I dont...

Only bodyweight and height doesn't translates to strength always am I right?

Do you have any books to recommend or type of yoga or exercises for that? I become tense and lock my shoulders and sometimes have weak hands because of that. I try to do some calistenics every other day, walk a lot and do a phisical job, however i feel like my energy isn't flowing as it should.

I hope you try it!

Go for it bro

Yes go for it! I watched Magnus for 3 years then went to the climbing gym with a head full of knowledge, zero finger strength, and forearms that pumped in seconds, but I still had the best time!

climbing is so fun! Get a couple of friends together and don't worry about the grades, just hop on whatever looks cool. If you're confused about anything i've never met a climber in the gym that doesn't want to help newbies (and show off a little in the process). Just ask around and give it your all.

As a native English speaker it was funny to me too!

Knut has the best Norwegian accent so far to me hah.

Good spotting

Signs of a really great person... Obviously he´s highly intelligent, too...

Yes, kudos to him.

Yeah it's pretty rare to be the strongest person in Norway

Not sure if you already saw this by now, but I gotta say I really liked watching the "pole dancers try to keep up with climbers" video (on another channel)

Unfathomable

@@xCoNa14 immeasurable

I like trains.

@@dfd6787 🚂 👍🏻

@@dfd6787 choo choo

Yes, though to be fair I’ve never met a climber who isn’t that way - it’s part of what makes the sport so special
