@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.
@@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.
@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.
Years ago when I was a recess teacher I inadvertently started a hang challenge on the preschool/kindergarten (and the occasional 1st & 2nd gr classroom) playground. Over the course of the year, the champion was a 4-year-old preschooler. She hung for 4 minutes, 22 seconds. It was unreal.
@@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.

HUGE props to Getchen and that kid who held for over 2 mins! I hope I'm in as good of shape as she is when I'm her age. Guy with the glasses was a beast and seemed like a good dude. Great vid!
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...
@@AlainPilon yea holy crap now that you mention it, I don't know about 50 pull ups, but I could hang around on those monkey bars for what felt like forever when I was little haha
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.

I like these videos because everyone is always so cordial, nice, and respectful. People are having a good time. Friendly competition. Lots of smiles. Society isn't too bad when you look at it from a different lens from time to time.
20:28 this women is amazing. My mom is 60 now and can run 40km+ but has zero to no grip or arm strength but still holy moly for a women in the 60s holding for over 2 min is crazy.
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)
Joey Ramone totally rocked the muscle up! And Gretchen just totally rocked in such a way that no able body person has an excuse for not working out. She was incredible!
Shout out to Rungne. I LOVE what you're doing making a clothing brand that focuses on actual high quality and comfortable clothing. Too many just focus churning out the latest fashion with cheap materials that barely last a year or two. Thanks Magnus :D
Love how lighthearted and positive this video is! All the people featured seemed really nice (as well as a few of them being absolute machines😂) and the video felt only 10 minutes long! Great video Magnus
Man, I had to go back and re watch that guy crank out those muscle ups. Incredibly impressive. I was concerned that somebody was going to beat Magnus with super bad form crossfit kicking muscle ups, but that guy crushed it.
You said it before and I agree watching your videos is very much like watching a friend, almost like seeing visually a story a friend would tell you. Keep it up you are relatable, kind hearted and just a great personality!
@@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...
Hey Magnus, would love to see more climbing videos with other legendary climbers. The Alex Honnold and Adam Ondra colabs were amazing. Would love to see you meet up with Chris Sharma or Sasha DiGiulian.
The dude that won muscle up has a very good body for climbing. Tall, thin and shoulders and pacs already trained. Lot of body tention, the deep muscles well trained👍 thats why he won. He had good dynamic movement as well. Very well done
Dude with the glasses seems like a hilarious guy :D Also, interesting how a lot of people didn't want to try, because they thought it would be a scam with a buy-in.
you guys should step up the challenge budget like hang 1min = 10$ 2min = 25$ 3min = 50$ record = 100$ 10 pull up = 10$ 15 pull up = 25 $ 20 pull up = 50$ magnus record = 100$ you would have much more engagement and more happy people trying at least for the 1st stage reward :)
Everyone was pretty chill and cool tbh, more than I expected... BUT... the surfer was by far the MOST chill and relaxed with it all. Nothing but good vibes coming from him, nice the entire time. Perfect exemplification of the stereotype, what a good type to be if you're gonna type it up at all. I'm sure he's got tons more nuance to him than the 2D surfer, but yeah... he does do them a proud justice either way. But by far, the coolest dude was buff Kylo Ren there... he beat Magnus, did a great job hanging, and was hell of a specimen overall. Congrats man!
This video really activated the competitor within me. 💪🏻 Since I got pregnant I did not really work out anymore, also since the birth of my daughter 6 months ago I did not do a lot of sport, I started a little bit of bouldering again, but still took it slow. When I watched this video today I was like „how long can I hang? I have no idea so let’s try!“ I ended up hanging for 60 seconds, not bad! I‘m really motivated now to do every day a little bit of hanging to see where I can go and if I can beat the times of the people in this video. 😁 feels good to have a sporty challenge again (that’s doable with a baby)!
The first guy doing the muscle ups had good form. After being an elite gymnast when was younger I normally dont like peoples muscleups due to their form and cheating using swings but all he needs to do is straighten the legs, legs tighter together and point them toes. Mags muscle ups at the end with the left arm first then the right arm flooded me with memories from training, not being allowed to stop untill you fall during an attempt. Love it
14:33 When I saw the first rep I already knew this dude was gonna beat the record, damn he had some serious explosive strength! I don't know if he would've made it if he was forced to do it in the perfect form though. Regardless he deserved it!
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
Always had great grip strenght, in highschool i did like 7 minutes on a larger bar, but honestly i think the best way is to go for opposite grip one hand each way and switch every so often, and also try to force your hand as high as you can get it over the bar, because otherwise it starts to feel like a pinch and not a grip.
Hey Magnus, I found myself forgetting what a few climbing moves were called recently and it made me think to look it up but alot of times it's just a written explanation. You should make a video with demonstrations showing the individual moves, flagging, dyno, barndoor, etc etc. I think a majority of your followers would find it helpful
The technique of the muscle up winner was to loosen his grip and open his hand at the top which gave his grip an extra edge, a break for a quick second. After all, we saw from the hanging challenge that grip is the first thing to go! :) Great video guys!
the 17 muscle ups guy won because he had the best technique to save energy. he used more momentum to get higher and then need less muscle strength for the rest. good job
I think what strike me here. I was watching same thing over and over again with smile on my face. It doesn't matter what they were doing. But just generally speaking just watching nice people full of respect to each other.
Way to go Magnus! I admire your strength and fortitude in this challenge, not to mention your epic free solo climb with the legendary Alex Honnold. Well deserved kudus!
Videos like this are so motivating and makes me want to work out. I tried the hanging after watching this vid and only managed a minute. My bar was thinner so if I were to try it at the muscle beach bar i might not even pass 40 seconds lol
15:00 with the huge glasses and wild hair, I was certain this was Anton in disguise or something, but this dude is for real haha. Strong guy and pretty chill too.
Video idea/Challenge Idea. "Fragile holds"/ How delicate can you be? Can you use a loaf of bread as a secondary hold? Can you use a weak plank as a primary? Put up a board, plaster it, put holds up it, let it dry. Take your chances... which ones set, which ones didin't.... etc.
It's always the unassuming ones that achieve the most - never judge a book by its cover... Great video, Magnus - mainly here for the climbing content, but love these 'fun' videos a tonne!
My girlfriend and I tried indoor climbing for the first time and the catalyst was me finding you on RUclips! I had a lot of fun and did much better than I thought I would for my first time. I had no idea that there was even a gym like that around where I live!
13:39 It's not that they want to hide it, it's that they don't want to be embarrassed. Having actually built their bodies up, they likely have a better idea of what they can and can't do. 16:45 Thumb over bar doesn't counteract the torque as much, which is what causes people to slip. Also, it's not going to provide a lot of extra strength, given it's not even in the direction your thumb is meant to apply force. There's a reason most people don't hang that way.
Yo such an awesome video as always! its always cool to see the abilities of people youve never met. Would love to see more of this style in the future!
wow I cannot appreciate more this channel and the fact people are not watching this from my home country judging from the lack of the native speaking comments :D.
I’ve done 10 muscle ups in one go in my lifetime seeing how strong that actually is I’m kinda proud now I can’t do one or if I could I probably hurt myself by I weigh much more lol I needa get back in shape

@@0Turbox well, ya know, when you're 140cm tall and weigh 45kg
@@highviewbarbell but 66 is still 66
she's got dad strength
@@highviewbarbell You can blame her for that, when she was in her 40' and bragged about it, but 66, come one, that's an achievement.
I loved this video, always great to see everyone having fun and such a positive attitude
Funny to see Magnus advertising for a t-shirt/hoodie when 90% of the time he doesn't wear one 😂
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...
Hey Magnus, would love to see more climbing videos with other legendary climbers. The Alex Honnold and Adam Ondra colabs were amazing. Would love to see you meet up with Chris Sharma or Sasha DiGiulian.
Great videp Magnus, its nice to see this kind of videos, really liked it!
and i amazed by the 60 year old, she was stronger than most!
old person strength is no joke
I can't hang even 60 seconds bruuh
The dude that won muscle up has a very good body for climbing. Tall, thin and shoulders and pacs already trained. Lot of body tention, the deep muscles well trained👍 thats why he won. He had good dynamic movement as well. Very well done
Magnus is awesome. I’ve always watched his videos but after seeing his heart and kindness during the marine training made me a big fan.
19:43 You got the grip brother :D
Magnus you were my inspiration to start climbing. Thank you.
Dude with the glasses seems like a hilarious guy :D
Also, interesting how a lot of people didn't want to try, because they thought it would be a scam with a buy-in.
you guys should step up the challenge budget like
hang 1min = 10$
2min = 25$
3min = 50$
record = 100$
10 pull up = 10$
15 pull up = 25 $
20 pull up = 50$
magnus record = 100$
you would have much more engagement and more happy people trying at least for the 1st stage reward :)
This is quite inspiring tbh, every time you work out you become a better version of yourself.
Muscle up man made me burst out laughing because of how obviously he was about to beat the challenge just on the first one
Everyone was pretty chill and cool tbh, more than I expected... BUT... the surfer was by far the MOST chill and relaxed with it all. Nothing but good vibes coming from him, nice the entire time. Perfect exemplification of the stereotype, what a good type to be if you're gonna type it up at all. I'm sure he's got tons more nuance to him than the 2D surfer, but yeah... he does do them a proud justice either way. But by far, the coolest dude was buff Kylo Ren there... he beat Magnus, did a great job hanging, and was hell of a specimen overall. Congrats man!
Magnus was on a Norwegian TV show two years ago where he hung for 4:18. Would've been fun to see him up against Brandon.
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.
@@Thunderbearim fax. Magnus holds second and first place in "jerngrep" in "Mesternes Mester" with 4.18 and 5.00
This video really activated the competitor within me. 💪🏻 Since I got pregnant I did not really work out anymore, also since the birth of my daughter 6 months ago I did not do a lot of sport, I started a little bit of bouldering again, but still took it slow. When I watched this video today I was like „how long can I hang? I have no idea so let’s try!“ I ended up hanging for 60 seconds, not bad! I‘m really motivated now to do every day a little bit of hanging to see where I can go and if I can beat the times of the people in this video. 😁 feels good to have a sporty challenge again (that’s doable with a baby)!
So wholesome. I love it!
The first guy doing the muscle ups had good form. After being an elite gymnast when was younger I normally dont like peoples muscleups due to their form and cheating using swings but all he needs to do is straighten the legs, legs tighter together and point them toes.
Mags muscle ups at the end with the left arm first then the right arm flooded me with memories from training, not being allowed to stop untill you fall during an attempt. Love it
Cake! 🍰
had to turn the brightness down when magnus took his shirt of 🌝 great video as always!! Thank you for providing such high quality content!!
for a big guy to do muscle ups that clean is really impressive. props to you mark
You guys are awesome! Love the energy!! Herlig Magnus - du er en sann inspirasjon! Du lager så mye konge innhold! Keep it up guys!
Yeahhh go girls! I also love how fearless the kids were, absolute bosses 😎 as always, amazing video Magnus!
thing as a kid you still got that crazy stamina going lol
@@NonsensicalSpudz and a freaking sweet weight to power ratio
During the whole video I had a smile on my face. best workout I have done so far. Thanks
14:33 When I saw the first rep I already knew this dude was gonna beat the record, damn he had some serious explosive strength!
I don't know if he would've made it if he was forced to do it in the perfect form though. Regardless he deserved it!
its not like magnus had perfect form either though
@@fivr. no one had good form in the video lol
@@karembapayet2263 first guy had best form, pretty much as clean as it gets from the looks of it.
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
Always had great grip strenght, in highschool i did like 7 minutes on a larger bar, but honestly i think the best way is to go for opposite grip one hand each way and switch every so often, and also try to force your hand as high as you can get it over the bar, because otherwise it starts to feel like a pinch and not a grip.
Such a fun and lighthearted video! I loved it
Hey Magnus, I found myself forgetting what a few climbing moves were called recently and it made me think to look it up but alot of times it's just a written explanation. You should make a video with demonstrations showing the individual moves, flagging, dyno, barndoor, etc etc. I think a majority of your followers would find it helpful
The technique of the muscle up winner was to loosen his grip and open his hand at the top which gave his grip an extra edge, a break for a quick second. After all, we saw from the hanging challenge that grip is the first thing to go! :) Great video guys!
realized I was smiling throughout the whole video, everyone was nice and having fun!! 😊
the 17 muscle ups guy won because he had the best technique to save energy.
he used more momentum to get higher and then need less muscle strength for the rest.
good job
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
I think what strike me here. I was watching same thing over and over again with smile on my face. It doesn't matter what they were doing. But just generally speaking just watching nice people full of respect to each other.
Stacked Adam Driver is my new favorite Magnus channel side character 😂 it’s the glasses that give him power!!
This made me LOL. Stacked Adam Driver 🤣🤣🤣
These videos always make me smile, it’s just great vibes
Way to go Magnus! I admire your strength and fortitude in this challenge, not to mention your epic free solo climb with the legendary Alex Honnold. Well deserved kudus!
This is so wholesome! Great premise, and the way Magnus and William are so supportive is really sweet.
Videos like this are so motivating and makes me want to work out. I tried the hanging after watching this vid and only managed a minute. My bar was thinner so if I were to try it at the muscle beach bar i might not even pass 40 seconds lol
Hahaha. I cant stop watching Magnus regardless of what he does. Free Soloing, Ninja Warrier, Military or Muscle Beach. Mostly like climbing though
Bro same I find myself checking back frequently to see if there’s new videos. His vibe is amazing
15:00 with the huge glasses and wild hair, I was certain this was Anton in disguise or something, but this dude is for real haha. Strong guy and pretty chill too.
All these dudes going max reps on muscle up with no warm up, they gonna be feeling that!
Video idea/Challenge Idea. "Fragile holds"/ How delicate can you be? Can you use a loaf of bread as a secondary hold? Can you use a weak plank as a primary? Put up a board, plaster it, put holds up it, let it dry. Take your chances... which ones set, which ones didin't.... etc.
It's always the unassuming ones that achieve the most - never judge a book by its cover...
Great video, Magnus - mainly here for the climbing content, but love these 'fun' videos a tonne!
My girlfriend and I tried indoor climbing for the first time and the catalyst was me finding you on RUclips! I had a lot of fun and did much better than I thought I would for my first time. I had no idea that there was even a gym like that around where I live!
This video scores 10/10 in the "wholesome" category :)
13:39 It's not that they want to hide it, it's that they don't want to be embarrassed. Having actually built their bodies up, they likely have a better idea of what they can and can't do.
16:45 Thumb over bar doesn't counteract the torque as much, which is what causes people to slip. Also, it's not going to provide a lot of extra strength, given it's not even in the direction your thumb is meant to apply force. There's a reason most people don't hang that way.
That was super fun to watch omg :D Thanks Magnus and Brandon, you're also freakishly strong
Sunglasses guy absolutely nailed it too. He just did great overall
Yo such an awesome video as always! its always cool to see the abilities of people youve never met. Would love to see more of this style in the future!
wow I cannot appreciate more this channel and the fact people are not watching this from my home country judging from the lack of the native speaking comments :D.
I’ve done 10 muscle ups in one go in my lifetime seeing how strong that actually is I’m kinda proud now I can’t do one or if I could I probably hurt myself by I weigh much more lol I needa get back in shape
thats insane wow
dang!!! 10 is crazy bro, you gotta be mad strong to do that
@@amr1t_ lol used to be I remember trying so much to do my first one . What helped was getting those door pull up bars and every time I pass I do some pull ups it gave me a ton of strength
This was so feel good that I couldn't help but smile while watching.
Such a light-hearted fun video. I am still smiling. Great summer beach mood!
Thanks for brightening my day fellas. Keep the stellar vids coming dudes...
Great vid! Seems like everyone had fun! And you go Gretchen 💪🏼
15:20 the guy had the technic. He uses the momentum to muscle up.
Great collab! You two vibe off each other very well
first time on channel, loved the spirit and the sportsmanship. Really fun guys, well done all of you.
Before Magnus became "famous" youtuber he did over 20 muscle ups after a climbing session on video.
I want those hoodies so baaad such a good looking design, love your sense of style
