A rock climber, an arm wrestler, a bodybuilder and a ninja walk into a gym...
The gym says "Ouch!"
And they’re all Magnus
it's a total D&D party... a warrior, a barbarian, a ninja and a rogue
Dream come true.
lurkingknight think Magnus’s is more of a mage 20:55
The arm wrestling dude has such a nice personality
He's like a grown ass kid in there
@@stevethea5250 more like a mature adult.
"the armwrestling dude" probably the best way tk describe devon in 3 words
I've meet him in real life he's an absolute giant and so nice.
bro he’s one of the strongest arm wrestlers in the world
Devon is a monster. Also his hollering across the gym for the rules was the most American thing ever 😆
Even though he’s Canadian… lol
As an American, I was impressed by how quickly he used the holler. Efficient. ;)
@@subjecttochrist ya but culturally Canadian’s are similar just different way they run their government’s
@@bobbyraejohnson canadians like maple syrup and americans do too. on this we can agree. 100% pure maple syrup!
@@subjecttochrist He is actually Italian
I GET why this video has so many views. Devon and Juji's charisma and chaotic energy makes the viewers instantly fall in love with them. Their energy pairs so well with Magnus's cool calm collected self. Wish we could get more videos of these three!
Magnus is nearly pushed into anticharisma.
back in the day when these guys where collabing was awesome. too bad tom fell into gambling
@@Mani-tg4kqfell into gambling??
@@Mani-tg4kqwho is tom?
i never thought i'd see a 6'5 praying mantis at a climbing gym
Underrated comment! Got a real chuckle out of me!
this actually killed me bro XD
I haven't laughed alone in a while, thanks for that lmao
That's mean... but funny as hell
just shat myself xDD
Devon isn't afraid to dish out a genuine compliment. He isn't afraid to admit defeat either - with no excuses. These are just two of the many attributes that make him such a wonderful person.
OzzProg he is a pro in all sorts of ways
And a good teacher too, does not ever come accross as condescending - just genuinely helpful
I love that he’s always in a good mood and happy, he just looks like a good soul that’s happy no matter what he’s doing.
I love that attitude.
And that's why he's the champion
I love seeing collabs with Devon, he's a scary beast in competition but he's so chill and humble when he's doing anything else.
He's basically the Professor Hulk version of Edward Norton's Hulk :D
He's such a POS to his opponents when he's competing, but seems so wholesome in normal life
I think he's chill in competitions as well. mostly trash talk and just having fun
the hanging is straightening devons arms out slowly, if he kept it up he might eventually regain full motion
woah dude nice arms
Juji & Tom especially that juji guy
Catch a fat lol u talking about yourself?
Who arms, nice dude
Juji, you're getting good man! using beta, falling and rolling. You should try climbing outside. do a little bouldering and get the full experience. pads and hiking and all.
Woah nice arms dude
Such a great day. Magnus - thank u. I always thought climbing was tough.. but I never understood how strong you guys really were. Watching you climb makes me believe anything is possible. Keep on crushing it buddy 💪
Devon Larratt u were awesome!
Devon Larratt would you ever talk about your time in Canada’s SF?
It's impressive how you climb with your body weight.
Was very cool to see you try out some climbing!
Dude you were crushing it!!! Great job!
I love how fucking down Devon is for ANYTHING and how gritty he gets with it while remaining happy and humble. Heart of a champion.
I love how climbing brings out the child in everyone. There’s just something so instinctual about getting on something and climbing it.
We used to be apes
Magnus: World-class climber
Anton: World-class ninja
Devon: World-class arm wrestler
Juji: World-class good guy
Juji said in one of his videos that if you want to be successful you need to be in top 1-5% in your field for people to notice you.
But if you are in top 20% in 3 or more fields, then you are something unique. He is flexible, powerlifter, armwrestler, and can do backflips and other tricks.
@@suncu91 let's not forget he's got a black belt in taekwondo :P
Juji is not a world class gymnast nor a world class bodybuilder, but he might be top 10 in the world of both things combined in a single person
Juji is like the center of a Venn Diagram. His powerlifting numbers aren't record breaking, but they're certainly higher than I've seen in my gym. At the same time, he has the athleticism to do tricking with the flexibility of a yoga person.
His one weakness is ball sports lol
@@dan1e1473 fuck body building who gives a shit
Him shouting "What's the rules on completion?!" was a very 40 something dad thing to do XD
I don't get it. Why? And how would a 'not 40 something dad' go about it? Is it the shouting across the room that's the dad part?
He said “EH, what are the rules for completion” was also a Canadian thing
@@neamraven just the way in which he said it, the word completion, I also thought it was very cute, I dunno
@@neamraven fathers are known to be quite competetive with each other when it comes to friendly duels, they're out to be the best of the best through the banter of it all.
quit getting your knickers in a twist
@@xenthia Oh no, I didn't mean it like that, lol. I wasn't upset, I just didn't get it so I was asking for a clarification.
Magnus: "I'm going to keep my climbing to a minimum today"
Also Magnus: I'm going to do this V11 now
That old famous quote “ when there was a castle on a mountain or something they would send like a whole bunch of you guys” 😂
You forgot to add: "with a knife between the teeth" lol!
Why are the "strongest" men always the nicest sounding dudes?
I imagine, you don't have to flex when you're at the top already.
Usually the guys who are mean and treat people badly are insecure. True alpha males are the sheepdogs that take care of their pack and those around them. They have nothing to prove, and show their strength through their actions, not acting like they are someone when they are not. Just have to take one look at Brian Shaw that guy is one of the strongest men ever to walk the earth and one of the nicest.
There is a Swedish strongman (actually has a silver in World's strongest man) called Magnus Samuelsson. Incredible guy and soo humble in talkshows, interviews and other TV-shows. He also went on the Swedish version of "Dancing with the Stars" which he and his partner won.
@@hamfeldt93 I am a big fan of Magnus Samuelson. I uses to watch him on WSM. He had what was considered the strongest arms in the world at one point.
Everyone here makes good points but it's also important to remember that in order to get where they are, there's a lot of failure involved which really humbles a man.
watch this cool video! ruclips.net/video/lR22RcD4vW0/видео.html
I love how receptive he is to training and real constructive criticism, checked his ego at the door. Pretty cool.
Ryan Rippee he is just being polite.
Checked his ego at the birth canal, never seen him be anything but humble
The only thing I've ever seen him have the slightest ego about is arm wrestling. Obviously that is earned and deserved.
You find that with most athletes who are good at their chosen sport are easy to teach, they realise the benefits of paying attention because they learned to get good at something else.
@@MrShnazer being polite is a possible cause; being humble and nice is a consequence
The way my man holds his right arm at a 90 degree angle even when relaxed is crazy
This really is a demonstration of how STRONG Magnus is. He glides up walls up the walls through the complications with such grace. Devon did amazing for his size. His courage and determination are great tools. And Juji is just pure athleticism. He is such a specimen. Great men all together!
You can see when Magnus is on the wall his muscles are nothing like what you see in any gym, there are so numerous, thin but long, intertwined, varied and dense, you see muscle you don't even know exist versus the inflatable muscles that you can count on one hand on typical 'look at me' gym buffs.
@@ericastier1646do you not know what body fat percentage is? Obviously a climber whose always burning calories will have more muscle fiber definition
@@BoBo-pl3ww body fat is a false topic here, you get the muscle you use, body fat is only a cover it won't change the muscle definition. And wrong, to have such richly varied lean and long muscle has nothing to do with calorie burning but how varied the exercises are. No gym lifting machine can touch real practical sports like climbing. It only builds muscles that can be counted on a one hand instead of building a multitude.
Magnus looks like the teen son excited about disneyland on the thumbnail while his uncle and dad flex for some reason lmao.
😂
😂
More like gay parents
Governor Tarkin! I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.
"Ey, what's the rules on completion?!" that's my kind of direct problem solving right there, love it!
Made me laugh when he did that haha. Efficiency is key
I wish i could do that tbh
@@shadowsnake4511 yeah asking something just like that without hesitating or overthinking or panicking or asking someone else to do it
@@shadowsnake4511 actually it would be anxiety
@@shadowsnake4511 idrc whether a stranger on the internet thinks I'm pathetic or not but thanks for you opinion anyways
Rewatching this 2 years later, Devon definitely could've been a climber in another life. That send at 11:20 is such great footwork for a non-confident climber in rental shoes
Yeah that flag was dope hahaha
Honestly just such good vibes watching all these guys have fun. Great energy and charisma, we need more of this in the world!
I wish this exact group had a collab every month. It’s like some weird Avengers group. Like magnus said, they are all really strong in some esoteric, niche capacity. They form an unstoppable group.
Tom too, dont think he could make it out for this one. Such a good group of dudes
Daniel Horton just add Clarence
A truly awesome bunch
+Anton for the acrobatic ninja warrior stuff!
Omfg I almost choked 😂😂😭😭
Devon looks like the basic male ark character when u don't customize it.
😂😂
Lv 100
Put all stats into melee
What server you play on
He looks like overjacked Elon Musk
Magnus finds a way to find the most wholesome, thoughtful athletes to chill with him on this channel. I can't stop loving it.
"I'm gonna keep the climbing to a minimum today. I am however going to CLIMB THE HARDEST BOULDER IN THE GYM"
alright Magnus you damn mutant
And not only that but he flashed it
There's one I think might be harder. This is my home gym so I've stared at a lot of these routes.
Rasmus Hielscher it takes less energy to flash than to put in multiple attempts
He's a V13 boulderer. The hardest in this gym is around V9/V10 range. Grade growth isn't linear: it might not be as fast as exponential but the gap between grades increases as grade level increases. So the hardest stuff in this gym is well below his max.
@@PeregrineBF V15*, but the rest still rings true.
Magnus is training his own army of monstrous, beefy rock climbers 😂
Trying to inflate who's ego
@@gokublack5620 I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I can tell you this much, you're using the wrong who. You wrote who's, which is the abreviation for who is. I think you mean whose, which is a relative possessive pronoun.

Sorry, superfluous - Hannah Seling already noticed :-)
W.H.O.S.E

CARED
For people who haven't done any climbing once you try one of those walls you'll be super impressed when you realize how much weight those dudes have to pull around.
Yeah exactly it was super impressive to see guys their size climbing some parts with ease
This is child's play
yeah but do u see the proffesionals physiques. they dont really look that heavy.
@@melonmusk7502id love to see you weighing 250 trying this
Devon and Juji are some of the nicest strong guys out there. Huge yet humble, pumped and positive!
I once saw a comment that said Devon is basically Elon Musk's twin brother who chose the warrior class instead of wizard and I've never been the same ever since...
thats actually true wtf
look up a gentleman called lachlan adair, also an armwrestler aka Buff Elon
@@salted2096 not really
Please don't insult Devon like that, Elon musk is just a horrible person
@@brumiebear how is he horrible lol
No one:
Juji:
SPLITS ON THE WALL
Anton:
DO A BACKFLIP
Yeah, it's called exhibitionism. It's what he does best. That and taking off his shirt.
Devon actually had amazing climbing awareness for not having done it. How he moved his body to better take advantage of the forces was really good
That arm wrestler guy was wholesome!
arm wrestler guy😭😭😭
imagine being a ninja scaling some shogun's castle walls, and coming across Magnus sitting there half way up in a knee bar, eating lunch...
LOL
Shirtless
"Hey guys, want some chalk?"
This is a beautiful comment. Have a nice day.
@@evulclown If chalk is edible, I think magnus still would rather starve than waste those chalk by eating them
How humble is Devon. Absolutely one of the nicest people I've ever seen.
odgie991 so true. I love him so much he’s soo nice
This is such a wholesome video. So many compliments and thank you’s tossed around. Love it!
This was so enjoyable, Magnus. Thanks for sharing!!
i love how in the arm wrestling clips, devon is giving his opponent a death stare and looks like he is breaking him mentally, but in the video (and in reality), he talks softly and he looks so friendly, and he looks like he couldnt hurt a fly
he could probably wrestle a bear but he doesn't have anything to prove in day to day life so he's super chill as a result
unknown unknown In arm wrestling, he absolutely owns the mental aspect of it, to exhaust his opponents mentally before the match even starts and to put on a show for the audience. Although in real life, he’s a very humble person
He has killed several people in special forces no doubt lol
He's like saitama all over again
In one of the arm wrestling clips, he kind of looks like Steve Zahn😂😂
(The dad from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, or the dad from Tall Girl.)
I love how when Juji jumps off it's like a 2 story jump, but when Devon jumps off he was barely 2ft off the ground
Where's the Steffi video
@@stevethea5250 in the recycle bin
@@pluggothesluggo5509 i dont see
Just got this vid as a recommendation and man it's wholesome.
I've been stuck at my current gym and haven't progressed much in my projects, but this really motivated me to just hit up fun climbs.
Thanks for the content and my palm sweat is kicking in again :)
Juji got me into lifting a while ago, his backflips at his size was awesome. Cool to see him climb!
Devon is such a humble and down to earth person. You wouldn’t know from talking to him that he’s a former world champion and considered GOAT by many.
also former canadian special forces...lol the guy is a beast, and a humble asf one to boot
It's just arm wresling , calm down !
@@jacobgherab9647 what “small” thing you championed?

I've never seen anything like this from you or anyone shown here before but I'm glued to the screen. this is so cool
I think I binge watched nearly all the videos until now and it got me motivated to start climbing! Just wanted to say, that this one was so much fun to watch! :) great content
Devon is insane!! Such a strong guy, interesting to see that he has the “same” muscles but is completely different and hard for him at the same time!!
Which is why I think climbing might be the best way to grow your muscles.. I've only gone to the gym and I wouldn't last an hour climbing. I think you get so versitile in your movement and your muscles can do so much more than if you'd only lift weights..
I'll have to give this stuff a try!
@@jsbfkdls You can try climbing in combination with the gym. You will grow climbing muscle and hit the gym for other groups. It is a lot of fun and good motivation to exercise.
@@Shinjiwwl Yea thats a good idea, doing both would probably give the best results and at the same time be fun with climbing
@@jsbfkdls Go for it mate, I'm doing both and it's awesome. Personally, I can't climb more than 2 times a week because your fingers take pretty much damage due to the friction on the holds, so combining the gym with rock climbing is awesome. It's such a social sport too.
From observation rather than experience I think size and build makes a huge difference as well. Like Juju is crazy strong , but bulky so he has more to lift and a definite low center of gravity. Climbing needs really strong abs as well as limberness and hand, finger, arm, and shoulder strength. (yeah, I am way too analytical). Climbing uses all your muscle groups at the same time. I think you really see the core or ab strength going into effect in climbing is when you see Magnus practically hanging like a bat yet his stomach is still close to the wall. I'm afraid of heights so I will never test this theory, but the whole process fascinates me.
Magnus: “um I’m not sure the rules of this gy-“
Devon at the top of his lungs: “HEY WHATS THE RULES ON COMPLETION”
peak alpha male
lmao thats what I thought
Tim McGowan lmao Magnus just doesn’t know he’s an alpha warrior
I laughed, His personality is the best!
@Dude Bro Very, very true. If someone did that in a climbing gym in Munich, where I live, no one would see that as alpha. Our most respected and looked up to are those who are capable, but calm - not the loud type.
@Dude Bro You can always find your niche/your people somewhere tho. America is so huge, you won't even have to leave your state to find all the different imaginable regional/local peculiarities or communities. It's very hard finding people you feel 100% comfortable with, I give you that much, but I feel like your fellow European Americans are out there and at the end of the day you dont have to please everyone :)
Devon is The Man.
Absolute Beast and one of the most Humble and Respectful World Champions ive ever watched.
Dude you’re so awesome. Makes me wanna sign up for a rock climbing gym
I can't help but feel like Magnus has to be glowing with pride watching his muscley rock-climbing proteges sharing techniques and tips with each other.
straight arms!
When Devon smiles he looks like the happiest kid! And Juji is such a joy, love this crew of 4 together! Also its nice to see everyone get some easier climbs in. And Magnus the magnificent should just leave the shirt at home! so fun
@Earn Money Online read my name 📛
Devon is my fav character
Devon is so humble! Very fun to watch you guys climb
Arm wrestling dude is really humble. Gentle giant. Love their attitude.
I love that both Devon and Juji genuinely care and want to learn.
It's amazing that devon cant straighten his arm out because of all the arm wrestling and how his whole body has centralised for performance
For Devon it's more of accumulated injuries. Bone spurs get in the way of his elbow joint straightening. Not because of tight or over developed musculature or ligature.
@@MotorBunnyBDM ah ok,I'm sure constantly squeezing it tight to he able to activate the chest whilst arm wrestling has contributed somewhat to his arm posture though
@@jack.1. Yea you can see how he holds his wrist for instance that his arm posture is all built on arm wrestling
Sabrina remove your dress.
Don't just stare at it - eat it!
Devon always makes me laugh, love that guy. I'm really glad you guys got together and climbed the boulders.
This is superfun to watch as a beginning boulderer, some very good small tips in there as well. Love it!
He doesn’t even use his legs he just pulls himself up slowly 😂
He looks like a sloth climbing lol

It's because he is high 😂😂😂
Wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jacob Riddoch you’re like 10
Ive always seen clips of Larrat and he seems like a great guy, but in doing some research, holy crap what an interesting dude. Awesome to see that he's Canadian like me, but not only that, this dude served for the armed forces in *JTF-2* , which is easily the most badass group in the Canadian armed forces by a long shot (the type of group where active members don't show their faces or reveal their names if interviewed, should be a sign they mean business). Incredible respect to this beast of a man.
Anton on every climb „do a backflip/frontflip from there“ 😂😂💀
Juji: *exists*
Anton: Do a backflip
Nah Fam its fascinating to see such a big guy doing backflips
beka si
Magnus: "Match on that to finish"
Everyone Else: downclimbs blissfully
Love how juji midway figured out what matching means lol
Idk if you guys see it too but from 5:15-6:00 do you guys realise he talks and looks like connor murphy?
Devon is really putting the structural integrity of those walls and holds to the test!
Devon is a beast and such a nice guy, I've seen alot of his content and he's always super nice to ppl and really gracious
The greatest crew.
I want a Netflix series.
I've never seen such genuine joy from someone in my life, Devon brings such a positive mood to everything, like i found myself smiling and getting all happy just from watching them, like even juji seemed more excited, what a great guy
fobo420 yeah he is wholesome hahaha
fobo420 seriously man, I was in such a bad state of mind before watching this video and it got me to smile too
You need to get out more.
Right, what a chill guy.
@@aizaz1299 Right!!! They all look like great people, seeing them accomplish their goals and be so polite and nice to eachother was great.
I love watching you climb, Magnus, but I can't help but notice that your motivation seems to not only come from your passion for climbing but also from trying to prove something to someone or to prove yourself time and time again. Just wanted to let you know that you're already fantastic and that you've already proven you're an amazing climber and videographer beyond any trace of doubt. You can just enjoy it now and not worry about what others think of your performance ❤
its honestly crazy how much mobility juji has when doing stuff like this. he hasso much mass, yet moves so smooth and gracefully, alot of people dont appreciate how hard it is to do everything as well as he does.
i've been 6'2" sincemy sophmore year of highschool, and let me tell you getting used to the height alone took a while. i would constantly trip, not be able to cut tight turns, not be able to control my power when it came to shooting a basketball or taking a swing in tennis or volleyball.
after a year or so i balanced out pretty well, but honestly im not even half johns size in terms of strength and height to weight ratio, and i couldnt imagine getting my body to move half as gracefully as his does.
Devon didn’t climb any of these walls, he just pulled the wall down to his level. Crazy strong mate.
hahaha
Top rolled the shit out of it.
That sounds an awful like a chuck Norris joke lol
Rick and Morty lol
"Are you saying you can't do the splits?" The man can't even do the splits with his arms, Magnus!
Hahahaha bruuuuh
Watching these two climb really brightened my day! They're great🤩
Holy shit, this has made me so happy. That pure joy from Devon is so natural and kind. My heart was melting.
I love how they've created a very strong friendship and their channels grow together
Have my respect
Yes! Couldn't agree more. They're creating a universe. Keep it going!!

Magnus tries so hard to be genuine with his words of support, it’s like a dad watching his kids wiff a t ball. Love all of them together.
Wait your dad supposed to be supportive?
What a great video ! Really enjoyed the watch
Such a friendly sounding group! Great fun watch, thanx. :)
I love how well he listens, and how respectful he is. He is truly a lovable big guy
They're trying so hard to inflate his ego and Magnus is all like "I'm not sure about that". It's really funny to watch
Austin M Magnus really is such a great guy. Nothing but love for him
They are just trying to motivate him
Just got this in my recommended. It's nice to watch these even if I have never climbed, because you just have a good time "chilling".
so fun! love how humble devin is outside his wheelhouse. Dude climbs like a praying mantis!
Devon is insanely strong for a big guy who only trains specifically for arm wrestling.
He’s like six five his genetics are insane .
All of them are such amazing athletes that they would be amazing even if they chose to do other sports.
@v KEITH v Sure, but he also trains his arms with ridiculous weight. Just go look at some of his training videos, he lifts strongman-level weight using 2" roller handles.
Strong indeed, but it's also true that arm wrestling and climbling share a lot of same muscle group, such as grip strength and forarm strength, may make it a little bit easier
You dont know shit about arm wrestling dont you?
It's straight up fascinating to watch a big guy like Devon be gentle and analytical with these problems and succeed! I've learned stupid amounts by seeing other people be taught by you.
Such a POSITIVE video!)) Guys, you are awesome!
The energy from these guys is really infectious.
Incredibly positive people doing something they don’t specialise in and still having a load of fun. Great video Magnus, gives me hope for humanity you all doing this and coming from such different backgrounds.
I love how Anton gives coaches Devon, and the enjoyment he clearly gets from trying this out.
Devon's hand and forearm and bicep strength are all insane here, he can just muscle up with fingers and forearms and then power up on reaches while barely using feet or even balance/pushing off the wall or toe holds.
really enjoyed that, you all seem like really good dudes
Honestly, the Magnus+Anton+Tom+Juji crossovers are awesome, that's how I started following each of your channels, you guys have a ton of fun together and it's super entertaining. Devon being in several videos now is also super cool. Awesome athletes in a pretty wide spectrum of things.
Devon: I have a question.
Also Devon: I HAVE A QUESTION!
Love the videos Magnus. Always a good energy ❤️
what a super fun video. thats one of the coolest things ive seen in ages
I'm 6'3", 195lbs and a former gymnast and I don't think I'd be able to do most of those climbs at age 36. I've only tried gym bouldering once but I was surprised by how difficult it is. Size is a liability up on the wall and seeing this huge dude doing so well at age 44 is impressive.
It's a huge advantage 99% of the time.
Only in very, very peculiar circumstances is size a disadvantage in climbing (if it helps to be wedged in a narrow space between hands and legs).
@@MrCmon113 yeah for beginner level height can help a lot but it evens out as you progress and I think at some point even 1,75-1,82m / 5’10”-6’1” becomes the optimal range. I think Ondra once said that 1,75 would be perfect IIRC
I'm 38, 170lbs and got back into climbing. two months in and I'm doing great
I go to the gym 4x a week and the fact that I cann do pull ups is a major advantage. When I couldn't climb the propper way I finished the routes with arms only but that way you don't learn how to climb properly. It's funny though that I'm 185cm tall and 80 kgs but I'm the 'fattest guy' in the climbing room while I'm one of the skinniest in the gym.
@@MrCmon113 lol what
