I'm dead XD

ahahah man u kill me XD

You just can't get a proper grip on the water without chalk.

Thats probably the reason why he was so bad at swimming 😄

@@PatrickStar5131 Nice name there

What makes her a legend?

@@Yeet-cy8tz her personality obviously

Y e e t did u watch the vid

Marte is awesome! Love having her on the channel. Super pretty, funny, sweet, and kicks butt!!

No, he retired in 2017.

He swims breststroke like he is a beginner tho. :D

@@bekenhagyjal7567 Yeah he does, but probably he was never taught how to do it the right way

I think most people learn how to breaststroke first

@@matijadzajevic2664 Sure, it is the most common way to swim

@@fizarezi6741 Generally Europeans learn breaststroke first, Americans actually learn Freestyle first. I believe EU learns breaststroke the way he swam it so they dont need to learn to breath. Freestyle is easier to learn with less coordination, but is harder to learn to properly breath. So a bit of a toss up which way is better.

She can do 4x as many pull-ups as the average(%90) American. Mad props.

@@erikhoryza9068 Us average American MFs can do 0, so that means she can do infinitely more.

Totally. People likely don't realise how impressive one solid chin up is for a girl let alone four.

yea, props for doin the same as a 7year old boy

@@Isaac-kx4km you have a miserable life. You were on a mission to be a pissant in this whole comment section. Just goofy

Yeah I appreciate that she’s confident enough to let so many people watch her ride the struggle bus lol. I could never do it. Go Marte!

Next time wear swimming goggles to avoid the neck pain! (You don’t have to keep the neck up all the time) :) well done both of you! Keep it up!

Lol, Marte. How about those balance-based/gender-based ones like the chair lift? Also, I think the marathon is one of the only things where I saw Magnus full on break down? It's a pretty interesting video that is worth revisiting when you are frustrated and Magnus is calmly there pushing it, but not frustrated. That marathon got in his head.

We love you Marte ❤️

Marte, don't ever feel bad about how you do. It is helpful for people not at Magnus's level (almost everyone) to see you climb, and to watch you and Magnus go over how to solve boulder problems. Most newer people have fun watching Magnus climb, but can't relate to it. Normal people :) can relate to you, and learn from watching you learn. Keep doing great. The community really likes you.

Just want to say that your run time was great! My daughter is on a middle school cross country team and they run 1.5 mile races. Your weren't much slower than the fastest girls on her team. My other daughter has been training in gymnastics for the past couple years, and she is getting pretty good. She has just started getting more into climbing and has been trying to do more pull-ups. As of yet, she can only do four consecutively. So all in all, I am impressed, and both my girls think you're awesome! We love your adventurous spirit and your sense of humor. As for tests, have you heard of the beep test? That would be hilarious to watch you and Magnus do that one. Basically you ran back an forth across a set distance and you have to make it back and forth before the beep goes off. I think the beeps get closer as time goes on and you have to go faster and faster. The goal is to beat the beep as many times as possible. I don't know if this makes sense. It's a fitness test that a lot of gym classes do in the US. I think it's done in other countries too?

Hell, SHE does better than most us watching this would do

@@tomatodamashi isn’t that what they said

Marte is the peoples champion :) and honestly Marte attempts are more exiting ^^ we all know Magnus is going to do good because as you said he is a former elite athlete :)

True the breast strokes were a bit wonky, but is overshadowed by his amazing strength

Dip and tuck that head while shooting into streamline, then remember the dolphin flick at the end of each whipkick. That swim was a show of MAD strength with that resistance.

Yeah it’s crazy to me that he would swim that fast with his head above water the whole time!

Their technique is SO bad and still they get it done and in a pretty good time ! Their determination is inspiring.

Literally HORRIBLE technique and he still had a passable time.

because illuminati

Probably butthurt Us soldiers

I think people who aren't very active have trouble imagining how much basic fitness and a good muscle to weight ratio matters for running at distances under 5 miles. Any relatively high-level athlete that has a decent muscle to weight ratio will average sub-6-minute miles. I was really annoyed to practice running for a year and have a friend who was a national level competitive swimmer and hates running outrun me by about 30 seconds in a 5k and they were barely winded. I made it in 18:10 and they did 17:36 though I can sprint faster over distances less than 400 meters.

@@tyrioncsgo6229 Many soldiers are gym rats, they can knock out 100+ pushups and 20+ pull-ups but running less than a 10 minute 1.5 miles knocks out 90% and getting under 9 minutes is top 5% or something like that if I remember the averages.

big fax man

would love to see that

Marte will definitely win she has the big brain 😂

That would be so funny, no one would expect it

😂😂😂😂 great comment

Go for the free practice tests on Khan academy. They have full length ones that will actually get graded lol

it isn't Sorry.

​@@RaoulRamsaran I've been training for half a year 6 days a week (if I can) for the distance season and I can run a 5:46 mile. Magnus is a high level athlete and it is extremely impressive especially for a 1.5 mile!

​@@RaoulRamsaran so silly

@@RaoulRamsaran Magnus is a high level athlete there is no reason to be defensive as there is nothing wrong with being less fit than him. It's normal.

@@mussdem i wasn't being defensive. I'm just not impressed as i can do the same thing and i'm not an athlete. People who are impressed are overweight and get tired just by walking to the fridge.

He usually does 30 pullups with weights. He was just really tired already. Bet he can do 60 if he's fresh. Also his legs were fresh. Pullups don't make you tired to the point where it's hard to run. Especially not a rock climber

​@@RaoulRamsaranpull ups do affect your ability to run. People underestimate the role of upper body in running. Proper technique uses the strength of the upper body to drive forward. This is more prominent for terrain racing (e.g. courses with hills etc) but still applies to track.

@@RaoulRamsaran He wouldn't be able to do 60 dude, and what do you mean by "with weights"? How much weight? Where can I see that?

@@cedricrust9953 I saw him do like 40 pretty easily in a video (didnt stop to shake out his hands, which is actually the end of the exercise when administered by Navy SEAL cadre). The swimming and pushups probably made the pull ups harder than usual for him

wade hilliard Double entendre

Agreed! This channel is so good because of the production quality, and the personalities on camera. Not their displays of athleticism (even though it's still incredibly impressive to see)

Though let's be real, there's no way Marte's ever going to not push herself hard in a challenge anyway. Gotta respect that tenacity.

Subtle my wife has a great ass flex ;)

"There is no shame in not passing a Seal test." I can imagine there are dozens and dozens of soldiers who train a whole year and still don't pass.

Being very unathletic with only going to the gym for back/spine health, I don't blame Marte at all😂

She's also doing these tests along side an INSANELY athletic person. She's doing so well.

I agree with you :) she is motivating to watch

How could she? Anything she does in these challenges are way above normal youtube watcher, and she is high spirit and fun to watch. I doubt myself I would top her results in many of the challenges, and I'm not couch potato. Magnus is a world class sport athlete, It's not normal to compare in any physical feat with him. Hell, even Juji lost in almost everything competing with him.

@@ambientoccluser I could do 35 situps and I´m out of shape guy who spends most of his time behind computer, she was probably really tired from the swimming tho

@@JohnBatman111 True, but it's probably hard, since she are depleted after swim, especially because she killed her neck muscles from in proper form of breast stroke. Magnus can endure that even without proper form, and he also trained his abs while climbing. But less powerful competitor could equally achieve goal with good pacing, form, breathing and little preparation. But its nice to see regular fit person coping with these challenges without serious preparation.

Romain yeah he was/ is a world star athlete 🤙🏻 marta Kick balls👍🏻👍🏻

Just want to inform you that her name is Mart*e* not Mart*a* :))

@Philodox The majority of people can't do one perfect pull-up , so let's wish good luck with the infernal place that can be KZfaq comments for the man above.

@@pierregevelle4873 at least it's not Twitter otherwise this man would not exist anymore

It's also important to recognize that Marte is surprisingly fit/strong for an "average" girl.

@@samwiener7667 And they say death penalty's not here anymore LOL

They went for the minimum standard most people do a lot more than that

@@FreshlyMinted1 Magnus went beyond competive standards, didnt he?

@@arnefines2356 yeah but competitive is the minimum for special forces though he would fail out of the water training that stuff is for mentally insane ppl

and remember girls aren’t even allowed to be navy seals so she did great considering

@@FreshlyMinted1 true but most people also train for this specific test. I don't think they do that, they are going in blind in a Way which you can see during the swimming part that they are not used to it

Never seen something so complementary yet so insulting. Club swimmer of 8 years and I agree

When they mentioned the side breast swim..that’s a way to swim a lot faster and avoid the mentioned neck pain..from an non professionell swimmer who loved to windsurf and spent a lot of time in the sea..

Yeah, being compared to magnus all the time has to be difficult! But she still decides to power through and try, and that's why we love seeing her. ^.^

The amount of effort she put into the sit up was seriously admirable. I’m writing this before the 18-minute mark, but that certainly has to factor into why the push-ups were hard for her. When her legs gave in during her resting position, that was probably because her abs were screaming. This girl is strong as hell, physically and mentally.

I couldn't even do 50 Meters in Water. I'm doing Martial Arts, but swimming is so much worse than everything I did...

Hell, I can't even do a single pull-up and she got 4 after doing sit ups and swimming 450 meters!! Thats incredible. The important thing is to improve little by little and be a better version of yourself than yesterday.

Yeah, even when I was at my strongest and fittest after doing strength training at the gym for 16 months I never managed to do a single pull up, but she got four. 99.999% of people can't do what Magnus does. He's basically a superhero. But compared to most women and a lot of men, Marte's a total bamf.

Agreed 😊

In many ways Marte is more motivation for me to get up and go workout than Magnus. They both have such a positive and encouraging attitude but her embarrassment is so human and makes me feel fine about being embarrassed as well

Ramsey Dewey, a youtuber who is an MMA coach and talks about training and fighting and other random stuff, said this a few days ago, and it has stuck with me. "learning to train is learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable."

cringe

This.

sure dude

Her technique is a bit lacking tho, she would be much faster with a proper breaststroke.

One of the best things of Magnus videos with real humans is that real humans give a yardstick. That's why everyone loves the Tom and Magnus collaborations. Marte brings that same energy. You represent all of us! Thanks for keeping it real, Marte! Also, as a swim coach, Marte's strength on that swim was impressive. "Lifeguard" swimming with your head looking up and forward is one of the toughest body positions because it sinks your hips and creates so much drag. It is the kind of thing coaches give as a "penalty" when athletes are messing around because it is so much harder. She was a beast for powering through!

Not here i tried, I got 68. I'm not bragging but I'm just really happy with what I got

As a lifeguard in b.c the 50 meter head is required for wsi and nls reverts, you need to score under 60 seconds to qualify with most guards getting around 40-50 seconds if that helps benchmark, for a person who doesn’t swim consistently that’s a pretty decent time

Samuel Pembery Slave driver.

Watch tazio bondo

yes plase watch tazio il biondo that guy looks like wouldnt have done any sport in his whole life, but is the strongest person i have ever seen

@@lucaandre723 he doesn't need muscles, he has PANTS xD

Beauty should not be the first thing you have to comment on when it comes to women. Lol we have so much more to offer than our looks (I know you might not have meant to be offensive, but it comes across offensive bc you are implying our first/foremost concern is whether we are attractive to the male eye)

@@MI-gu8lq I think he was just listing a bunch of her qualities. Not necessarily in a specific order

He didn't even do it properly either. His chest was basically vertical in the water because of his head position, which effectively made it way more difficult and definitely gave him a slower time.

@@jaredbobier2844 Yep... Trunks too. When I was a kid, like 10 years old, the boys on swim-team would wear trunks over our speedo because, well, no kid wants to run around in speedos all day... We'd wear the trunks until walking up to the starting boards, then take them off. Well, one day, at a local tournament, I forgot to take my trunks off before a 150m breast stroke heat started... My kid brain panicked because I knew how much they would slow me down and I would surely come in last. So I did the logical thing and shed them midway through the first lap... Swam with more conviction than I'd ever had before and came in 3rd. When I finished all the parents were dying laughing, my coach was fishing the trunks out of the pool with his big toe, and I got a friggin' DQ because I made an improper stroke kicking them off... Still think it was BS that I got disqualified for one improper stroke after providing such entertainment lol! It's one of those memories I wish I could view from someone else's perspective because it must have been pretty damn funny to witness.

@@jaredbobier2844 pretty sure you have to keep your head up in this kind of swim test

It's because in school (Scandinavia) you learn to swim and you start of with breast strokes and after that you progress to the others. I think you have to swim 1200m in school to even get the lowest grade in PE.

Idk why people in this thread expect the rock climber to know anything at all about swimming forms

It's great to see her doing this stuff with Magnus, I wouldn't even make it half as far as she does.

She did a hell of a lot better than 99% of the commenters would do. (I know she’d stomp my unhealthy ass.)

@@BrandonWestfall 450 meters takes me about 17 minutes

Ultimate combo

They need to race

"Hook up"? 👀

YESSSS

Eddie Hall has good technique. Think he was a pretty good competitive swimmer in his younger years.

she failed hard

Hahaha yeah, the videos in which Joji participate, even thou he is a body builder he always gets jokingly mad at Magnus because he always lose to him.

Lydia is a lovely name

She's a great benchmark, but she also isn't a normally fit person, a bit fitter than most. I think that cames with being with an ex elite athlete, so she pushes herself that bit further.

@@orangew3988 agreed

No she only represent fit women but yeah she has a good energy

@@stodgycone5849 not true. Fit woman mostly takes care of her diet. Marte is well physically able performer. Agreed that regular sports activity would be great for every young woman to do, but the truth of the matter is, it's really not.

We're watching Vikings after all

@@khakicam5400 So true! 😂

for real. she is already better than like 80% of people

yeah, I highly doubt this means youre capable of being a SEAL. This just seems to be a preliminary weed out test. Even BUDS week seems to be designed to test your mental grit more than anything (although, yoi obviously have to be physically fit as well)

Currently these standards only get you a spec war contract to go into training. This includes EOD AIRR SWCC SEAL and there’s one other I’m forgetting off the top of my head. But you’re very right, these are just the standards to get in once you’re in the standards get so much higher and the attrition rates are crazy high.

@@grundy6921 Dive. We went from 58 to 9 before we even got to dive school.

@@Skibbidyboobop shits crazy

@@grundy6921 It was. The instructors in prep(which is now standard before buds/dive school/swim school/eod/ make it their job to see if they can get you to quit. They would hold the piece of paper and a pen right in front of you when you were at your weakest during an evolution and tease you to sign it lol. They were more succesful than I anticipated.

For him that's out of shape 😂😂

@@Jake-fj3ob I wish I could be half of his "out of shape" hahaha

Hei på deg

I think only a handful of women have ever passed the test. If any.

Combat strike is only faster if you are inexperienced as a swimmer

more like 90%

@@JosueHernandez-bp5wj there are more than 10% fit people out there, you should move your fat ass outside sometime

@@JosueHernandez-bp5wj Nowhere near that high.That would mean she would also beat around 40% of men. The discrepancy between male and female physical performance is ridiculous. Only the most unfit men would be worse than a decently fit woman. Even 70% is pushing it. She's way fitter than most women. She's probably better than 60% of people.

@@aakashsunil7913 yea, easily better results than 90% of women, but realistically right around 65-70% of people in a similar age range.

Her pull up is really impressive, especially for a girl. I think she can beat at least 80% of the male in the US, given 2/3 of US male are overweight...

Sameeeee

Same here. Magnus has a great personality. He's humble, he's focused, he's chill but at the same time he's charming, can joke, and most importantly for me, he's always thinking how to explain something clearly, how to make the experience more pleasant. He must have been a teacher in the past. On top of that, he's also very good looking, and his body is insane, but those are secondaries. I also like his "serious" mode when he engages it- you can feel the guy has been a top competitor and have done some crazy tasks. He's a warrior. I just hope success won't get to his head like it happened to other channels, but i don't think it will.

I literally started climbing because of this channel
