Huge thanks to Magnus, Eric and Nikken for making this video happen! If you want to show the collab some love head over to the Rúngne store and use code ‘EMIL’ for 15% off all pants, chalk & apparel ▶︎ rungne.info/Emil
I mean, Magnus was probably in the top 15 climbers in the world when he retired from competing some years ago, and Emil has sent boulders on the same level as Magnus. It's not too surprising if two world class athletes can't walk into a random gym and find problems that are very difficult for them. Route setters would have to be setting things that are impossible for anyone else who visits the gym.
Magnus and all his friends in the climbing world all seem like the most wholesome people, much love from the US thank you all for inspiring me to start my own climbing journey 💜
That was really fun to watch! I love that you give the stats in metric, imperial, and % body weight. You were definitely hamming it up for the memes. I wonder what kind of activities Magnus has done that got his middle finger so strong...
love everything about this video! the jokes, the music, the editing, the way you chose to alternate tests and boulders (great idea!), all in all a great fun collab to watch, so good job Emil!
oh i must say you dont hold the unofficial record then. there is one guy at my gym who did like 120 kg at least with 75kg bodyweight. minimum. could be even more. was something between 120-180kg.
Very interesting to see how many different types of grip strength there is. My initial instinct was that if you're good at one you should be good at all, but this showed how varied and specialized of a strength it actually is! Very cool to see! And it's also always super fun to see two super strong climbers crush hard boulders.
Nice to see Emil being on the level Magnus is at and basically both of them have their stronger and weaker things compared to the other person. Good vid!
adding the price tags to the video is such a good idea, honestly. i don't feel like it's pushy, it just gives me a reminder to think about whether or not i'd like to get the clothes im already looking at. i thought it was really clever and effective
This is just another sport I like to add to the fun sports. People not trash talking like in football, basketball or soccer just cheering for each other and be impressed by one another! Great stuff!
This was awesome! I reckon you two would have a bunch of fun sharing an outdoors session sometime, you have similar strengths and could session at the same grade!
I hope we get to see you try to do some of the crazy fitness challenges magnus has done over his years of collaborating with strongmen, military units, ninja warriors, etc.
amazing video and great content. I do wish there was a recap slide at the end to show all the lifts and body weight % to basically recap though. both of you are mind blowingly strong
Missed opportunity to have Anton meet up for this video...but on that note Emil you should do a video with Anton one day when you all are in a similar geographic area...maybe try some ninja warrior.
Magnus got 214 off the ground on the 20mm crimp. It doesn’t matter how long you hold it or that he dryfired. He broke inertia meaning he can hold it and if you run the test on a tindeq, he can exert way more force.
15:37 - That makes so much sense that he doesn't get that signal. He's accidentally hurt himself a few times in these videos by pushing himself past a limit that most people wouldn't even try, because of the 'I'll hurt myself' warnings.
This looks like when the anime protagonist meets his old mentor after a long time and they have a fight to test the protagonist’s current strengh, and for the first time we see that he is now on par with the master
I want to see you and Magnus compete in grip competitions after training for them soooo much! You guys would absolutely crush so many strongmen. It would be amazing to watch!
In older videos you mentioned, that you had wrist issues and you had tobtape them in order to perform, especially on slopers, could you do a video on how you managed to work on this?
It's crazy that a youtuber's clothing brand is sponsoring other youtubers. Props to Magnus for making it big. But lately I've been enjoying your content (Emil's) more than his!
"...I'm relatively okay at it" - Literally the strongest guy in the world per pound at the rolling thunder. You literally have a superpower dude, don't undersell it!
Emil is Danish. While most Scandinavians can make sense of each other (except for Finland (crazy different)), since they all learn English fluently from a young age, and lots of cultural (even say editing video software) and climbing lingo is all in English…. it is easier to just use English. Source: American with a Danish mother.
@@br0k3nman Emil is Swedish, not Danish! Swedes and Norwegians understand eachother rather easily. Magnus is from Bergen though and that dialect can be rather tough for us Swedes to understand. Spoken Danish is really hard for both Swedes and Norwegians since they have a very different way of (not) pronouncing their consonants, written Danish is as easy to read as Norwegian - maybe even easier, for me as a Swede.
Magnus! When lifting with the rolling grip you need to straighten out your arm and then lift with your back and legs like a deadlift. You bend your arm like you’re trying to curl it. Just watch this video and you’ll see the difference in technique.
Great job to both of you, this was very entertaining. Apersonal intrigue though I noticed in the lifting weights parts that Height is a serious issue. You had room to bent knees and use your legs more correctly in your stances (you even get to stand on your toes to gain more room for that at a point) while Magnus had no room to adequatly use his. The way he lifted with practically more with his upper body must be really damaging for the back and not only. i believe that there should be some kind of retractable poll on those lifts to be tuned closer to the lifter's height purely for safety reasons.
You guys are epic! If I want to train pinch strength with my port-a-board (I haven't got the quad block), would it be better to do so with the block on it's side on a wide 'setting'? Or maybe turn it vertically and pinch it on the narrow side?
"Most other people say... this feels so painful and feels like I am going to rip something but I don't feel that way" - Magnus - few minutes after he almost ripped his middle finger off.
Even steel toed boots might not take that drop, if it doesn't then the toes are chopped off instead of crushed. Having bare feet means less weight to accelerate if something goes wrong and better contact and feel of the ground means things are less likely to go bad

Props to Hugo for being so thankful to all these guys
@@schwarzerTeufel88 haha thanks, wouldn’t have noticed 😅
would love to buy the highballer pants with your code but they are always sold out in my size
Good times! Hope to see you guys over here more often😀
Yes please!
Magnus with shirt = above average great climber
Magus without shirt = superhuman spiderman
😂😂

Ah yes, two people trying to out humble each other for 22 minutes.
dude 🤣literally
Norwegians hate Swedes, and no matter how hard they try, they aren't funny.
lol🤣 so true🤘
Normal scandanavian day ;) 👍
Let's be honest though. They both know that Emil's the daddy now
„Probably the hardest in the gym. No ascents yet.“
…
„Easy“
„Yep“
„Yeah“
Love the collabs
that's where the spray wall comes in for a lot of competitive climbers@JonaasK

emil, that one handed pinch catch looked way too chill lmao
Yeah that was spicy
Bro levitated 😭
Magnus: "I feel like I'm just the worst climber in the world"
Also Magnus: Proceeded to lift 137% body weight on the 20mm edge
He’s saying that because he’s so strong and not climbing super hard grades at the moment
97kg on ONE FINGER is mindblowing
Yeah it’s mind blowing to me
Kinda crazy to pull more one one finger than the crimp haha
@@KaffeslampaNot really. It's mechanically easier by a massive amount.
Some insanely strong and resilient lumbrical muscles needed for that
I pulled 98kg (215 lbs+ the weight pin) with video proof
Magnus and all his friends in the climbing world all seem like the most wholesome people, much love from the US thank you all for inspiring me to start my own climbing journey 💜
Aww thanks, that’s kind of you to say
That was really fun to watch! I love that you give the stats in metric, imperial, and % body weight. You were definitely hamming it up for the memes. I wonder what kind of activities Magnus has done that got his middle finger so strong...
Haha yeah that’s the real question, guess we’ll never know
Haha mangus has something up his selve he doesn't wanna revel 😂
the secret workout @@EmilAbrahamsson
Magnus has something up his sleeve that he doesn't wanna revel
Aka the secret technique 😂haha
Magnus “fat and juicy” Midtbo!😂
Definitely a meme to come
That sounds like the average Norwegian to me ;)
Flashes the hardest boulder like its nothing
I loved both of them giggling after emil came down 😂
love everything about this video! the jokes, the music, the editing, the way you chose to alternate tests and boulders (great idea!), all in all a great fun collab to watch, so good job Emil!
Banger video, "We're done with the fingering" killed me ;DDDDD
The last climb jump by Emil and 97kg finger lift by Magnus, just awesome.
I gotta say how good music in your videos is. Whoever edited videos has an amazing taste
Thanks homie, I appreciate that a ton! Always spend a ton of time going back and forth with the music, nice to hear it’s appreciated
The “au revoir” at the end means they are going to font letsgoooo
That would be awesome
OMG!!! your right!! :OOO
didnt notize that hint!
I would love to see a crimping competition with matilda
Lethal, she’s too good
I support that claim, its been too long since we had Matilda in the channel
@@just_johannesagreed
she'd be setting bodyweight world records left and right
I love that you included a 20mm edge
That’s mega! How much have you done?
His video says 160.84%@@EmilAbrahamsson
@@EmilAbrahamsson thank you! 107,6kg at 66,8kg Bodyweight. i'm exited to try some of those other holds you used in this video!

12:52 why is this the cutest noise I ever heard I don't know, but it sure is
real
21:20 so cool looking. Awesome display of power.
My man just pinched the sh*t out of that last boulder. Holy moly.

I really like the vibe with Emil and Magnus. I would like more.
Your videos are literally so entertaining that I usually click the like button before the video has barely reached 20 seconds.
Top tier viewer right there
loved the video man and great idea to combine the grip strength stuff to boulders where each strength transfers. Much love from Germany :)
This is just another sport I like to add to the fun sports. People not trash talking like in football, basketball or soccer just cheering for each other and be impressed by one another! Great stuff!
Another banger as always, magnus is just so freakishly strong it´s not okay
you guys have such great chemistry together and should totally do more colabs!
Incredible editing skills!
Props!
Aw thanks mate, appreciate that!
Idk why but just slapping on a price tag at 4:55 without any mention is so funny to me haha. And effective tbh ;)
apart from the mention at the start where he said he would be doing it throughout the video
Best climbing channel imo
This was awesome! I reckon you two would have a bunch of fun sharing an outdoors session sometime, you have similar strengths and could session at the same grade!
I like the community you guys are building, and I love when you revisit them and climb together again.
The wrist stability thing makes a lot of sense given your favourite bolder type
"That's not a jug tho"
"Yeah, sorry"
-
I laughed so hard. 😂
4:35 😂😂😂 im so glad that he sees those ridiculous memes of him
An explanation what do you do for wriststability/strength would be really interesting :)
My guy! That’s next level. I loved how informative this video was, keep up the good work man. 🙌😊
It's mindblowing to see how strong you guys are.
And I really love the videos you made together. Keep up the good work!
I hope we get to see you try to do some of the crazy fitness challenges magnus has done over his years of collaborating with strongmen, military units, ninja warriors, etc.

Got to say, the combination of strength test and then climbing after is a nice sequence to watch, great video!
The video is needed 😊
Haha that’s nice to hear! We had a good time
Magnus clearly wasn't trying... his shirt stayed on! Could have had like 10% more power easily
one of my favorite videos so far, loved everything about it!
Yo, that other collab video on Magnus' channel brought me to your channel in the first placr.
Ah cheers mate, nice to have you here hope you liked the vid!
@@EmilAbrahamssonI did :)
Great video! I found your video probably because of all Magnus' videos I've watched :D
Subscribed.
magnus is such a wild card
Love these collaborations 👏 I could watch you guys for days
11:08 magnus definitely had that up though- Unless you're counting it going back down but it was fully off the ground I would have counted that
Loved all these collabs. Hopefully there will be more in the future.
I SAW UR OTHER VID AND WAS LIKE “i wonder how magnus would do” IM SO HAPPY EHEHEHHEHEHE
The amount of chalk dust on magnus by the end really made me laugh
Magnus got 214 off the ground on the 20mm crimp. It doesn’t matter how long you hold it or that he dryfired. He broke inertia meaning he can hold it and if you run the test on a tindeq, he can exert way more force.

I'd like to see you and Magnus try an outside boulder project together! I'd bet if he puts the time on it he can climb 8c bolder as well!
After seeing the first video i actually had hoped to see magnus try the competition as im a big fan you guys are awsome
The fact that no one was able to get that 8A and Emil just flashed it no problem tells you how strong he actually is. 💪
I want to see you and Magnus compete in grip competitions after training for them soooo much! You guys would absolutely crush so many strongmen. It would be amazing to watch!
Emil already competed. He uploaded the video a few weeks ago
@@boogaloo4640 Again, after specifically training for them
That final boulder dyno and the 2nd last one where you almost fell were wild dude.
this Magnus guy is pretty strong eh
I would call these two role models! Not only for the fitness, also for the humanity and the competition to always get better as you did before. :)
nice video idea, great vibes and enjoyble characters. I don't climb but I still enjoy watching it.
Bro is rubbing it in “I never really train this” 😂😂
I love how he said "It's time for some pinching" and pinched all over the place.
In older videos you mentioned, that you had wrist issues and you had tobtape them in order to perform, especially on slopers, could you do a video on how you managed to work on this?
I would like to, but I’m a bit worried about recommending things for rehab since I’m not a professional. I’ll see what I can do though!
It's crazy that a youtuber's clothing brand is sponsoring other youtubers. Props to Magnus for making it big. But lately I've been enjoying your content (Emil's) more than his!
You both look like brothers with different hair🙀
awesome video man i love watching anything with magnus in it hes such a genuine guy
How can magnus lift more with his middle finger than on the 20mm edge with all fingers? I know on the one finger he can't slip off but still crazy
Load is placed on a different place: in the mono lift it’s on the joint closest to his knuckles, on the 20 mm it’s the furthest.
92kg on our Stone Hanger?😵💫 Ok @magmidt... Next time we call you when we need to test our gear 💪
"...I'm relatively okay at it" - Literally the strongest guy in the world per pound at the rolling thunder. You literally have a superpower dude, don't undersell it!
You two should do more collabs. You are similair climbers and you can speak swedish with eachother!

Lifting more with one finger than most able bodied adults can lift period... absolutely wild.
Incredible stuff! I want to train for this now
Man, you guys are so frickin strong!😮
Magnus gets up on his toes with all that weights! So impressive.
Magnus is just offering meme material to the instagramers.

I died
Gonna be some pain the next day for sure. Nice work🎉
This is nothing, you should see me carry the last shopping bag with my pinky finger, now that's impressive
Verry cool vid! And you are very strong !
Magnus has been climbing for quite a lot longer than you and you ar still prety close overall
"Fat & juicy, that's my middle name" not gonna lie this line killed me after the fingering one haha
Best trilogy ever ❤
Price tags popping up is a fantastic way to integrate a sponsor!
Love collabs with magnus

The best part about this whole ordeal is these two are lifting weights which could potentially crush and break their feet and are barefooted.
Even steel toed boots might not take that drop, if it doesn't then the toes are chopped off instead of crushed. Having bare feet means less weight to accelerate if something goes wrong and better contact and feel of the ground means things are less likely to go bad
