Fitness Challenge for Climbers during Lockdown 

Add running 10 km, do it every day and soon your hair will fall off.

My time was 12 minutes, 48 seconds and 6 months. 🙄

Fitness challenge? Count me in

All I can hear is his knee popping every single squat😅

tried it for myself my Time is 34:22 😅 .. the pullups destroyed me, but i'm Proud that i made it to the end 😁

Things I've learnt from this video: Magnus is an incredibly fit, inspiring person with many excellent qualities. Counting is not one of them.

7:32 the counter on the flor was a pretty neat detail!!

'Hit me up, go big' 😅💪 solid work that. Glad i was only on the camera for this one, now watching it back 😉 Good vid to round this mini series in Kristiansand off Magnus. Catch you soon

Magnus: "I see stars!" We: "You are a star! Didn't even sweat 💦 " 🤘😅

Thinking to myself, "😕 that squat form" 2 seconds later: Magnus, "I'm gonna get comments on my form"

Wish Anton, Tom and Juju we her to do this challenge.

For the average tier folks like me, set a timer and do 5 of each on the minute for 20 minutes. Spacing like that will give plenty of time to regain energy in between sets and consistent reps of 5 will help you push through

This video inspired me to try the same challenge. I just finished it. My time: 12 days. I will be starting my second attempt soon and hope to get within 6-10 days. It may be some time before I'm challenging Magnus or Pete.

Pete has to be the calmest hype man of all time and I dig it

Magnus looks like he's haunting someone with those squats

I am trying it, currently I'm at day 2. 90 pull ups, 80 squads, 85 sit-ups and 87 push-ups to go, will keep you updated Updates: day 3: think I deserved a resting day Day 6: got my shoulder dislocated at pull up 14, will come back stronger 💪

Last time I was this early, Marte was a normal girl!

I swear, I clicked on this right away, yet there are already so many people. Early gang is committed. 😂

Pete is the best training partner. So supportive

Good effort! I'm glad Pete made you do this! It isn't fun is it? 😂😂 My PB was 8:58 after doing it every day for about 2 weeks or so before I died... Good luck next time 😉🤣

I did the challenge in 48 minutes and I'm fucking proud and dying right now. For reference I'm a female 6b climber and I only started being serious about strength training last month during the current lockdown. I did use elastic bands for the pull ups since I can hardly do one unassisted. The first 50 reps took 19 minutes, you guys are absolute beasts, thanks for inspiring me!

I'd love to see a video about all the different techniques you use for holds and stuff, also about how you read a bolder, that would be really cool. You're a real inspiration and I'm completely obsessed with rock climbing now because of you, keep up the great work!!!

It took me 40 minutes but I'm just so proud I could do it!

I will definitely try this! Man, 13:36 time is good💪

Just last night I was thinking “I need a new Magnus video” and thankfully I didn’t have to wait that long. Thanks for making all this great content Magnus!

His knee popping when he squats makes me uncomfortable lol

I tried this when it was first conceived during the first UK lockdown back in April. Was boiling, I must have lost 10kilos in sweat. Did it in 43:39 but honestly I was just happy I made it out alive

I'm finally early...and now idk what to write..uhhh....CHALK?

I got 9:53. For me, the trick was to do the pullups in small increments but more often, using the other exercises as rests. So for the first 90 I did 5 pullups, 15 pushups, 5 pullups, 15 situps, 5 pullups, 15 squats. Once you hit 90 you can do 5 pullups, 10 each of the other three, and finish with your last five pullups. I also had to do them all in pretty much the same spot. All that moving around Magnus did would be harder.

I did 18 mins and 16 secs. I'm reasonably happy with this. However I might add that this was the 16th of January in Australia at around 12 O clock in my garage. That is the legit middle of the Australian summer. It was frickin hot. I look forward to trying it when it's a less sweltering. Great video btw

Seems Magnus and Pete are legit becoming good friends. Bromance ❤️

"is that supposed to be motivating?" 😂😂😂

Anyone else wonder where Pete physically is at any moment? From showing up daily on Magnus' videos then the Wideboyz channel in Tom's cellar I wonder if he's built a teleportation device between Britain and Norway...

You can tell Pete is a climber because he has to clarify that he's training "leg squats"

Im thoroughly impressed....I cant even do 1 pull-up! Magnus inspired me to work on my upper body strength just with this one video haha

Me: 10 minutes? Doesn’t seem hard Me 45 minutes later: 💀

What a beautiful friendship hahah love these two duoing.

Me, eating fries: COME ON, ONE MORE!!!

This is such a wholesome channel. Thank you for the content Magnus!

*Checks channel every day*: Has it been a week yet? *New video pops up*: .... :0

Me - Waiting for magnus to chalk up for sit ups

Today is my first day of rock climbing. Magnus inspired me a few months ago and I just got to a place that has a local gym with a rock wall. I'm excited to start my training and learn to climb.

Great performance! This is similar to a famous CrossFit workout called Cindy. as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of: five pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats. you can do butterfly pull-ups, but the chest has to touch the floor on the push-ups, and the squats are below parallel. 20 rounds is a solid result. If you get close to that, doing strict pullups, that's very impressive.

Where’s marte?

Trying this at the gym today. So lucky that the gyms in Las Vegas are still open.

I cant even do a pull-up Been able to do a pull-up is one of my 2021 resolutions

I remember making a video on this when Orin started the challenge during the first lockdown. It was soul destroying! Might have to try it again and see if I can do any better.

I did 20 sets of 5 without stopping and it took exactly 17 mins. Good effort Magnus!

13:32 was my result! I felt so sick....... Managed to keep mine in sets of 10 but I'm not sure this made it better... I think what helped me was one of my main regular work outs is 10 sets of 10 pull-ups with 30 seconds rest time.

C'mon Pete, we all know you're capable of great things. No need to humble yourself down, your time is really impressive!

For the squats - your foot arches are collapsing on the way down, focus on screwing your feet into the floor, and by that I mean pushing your feet (and toes) into the floor while trying to twist your feet outwards - this will help keep your arches up and push your knees out which will be much better for you!

I have a challange for you. What is the highest grade you can do climbing with one hand behind your back? Can you beat Marte?

Just did this but instead of 100 each I did 30. Hardest shit I've done in a while. Can't imagine how you guys manage to do 100! Truly amazing.

1 hour 7 minutes hahahaha going to do this once a month I think, clearly it is needed 😅

You know what, Magnus? I think this is a great thing to do when no one has nothing to do during the pandemic. I've been practicing for American Ninja Warrior since March 2020, and I'm in great shape. Never stop that awesome hard work. What I usually do to train for American Ninja Warrior is by doing this schedule: Workout for Mondays and Thursdays: 1. 3 mile run 2. Burpees 3. Mountain Climbers 4. Shoulder Presses 5. Hammer Curls 6. Push-ups & 7. Pull-ups Workout for Tuesdays and Fridays: 1. 4 mile run 2. Bicep Curls 3. Up-Right-Rows with Plies 4. Tricep Dips 5. Jumping Jacks with Hand Grips 6. Hip Pumps with Squats & 7. Side Presses Workout for Wednesdays and Saturdays: 1. 5 mile run 2. Tuck Jumps with Hand Grips 3. Sit-ups 4. Bench Presses 5. Skull Crushers 6. Tuck-ups & 7. Pike-ups I always take Sundays off, except when it's Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and the first Sunday of May. But when this pandemic is over, I'm going to do more training, such as training on some of those obstacles in The Ninja's Edge gym, rope climbing, climbing trees, and more. I currently use 25 pound weights. You think you can do all that training?

The thumbnails alone are motivation enough to get back into shape 😂 Side note: Your chalk bags rule 🦾

Your form on the pull- & and push-ups (at least in the beginning) was stellar!

You should try doing a Murph next. It’s a workout where you run 1 km, do 100 pull ups, 200 press ups, 300 squats, then run another km all for time

SKS tomorrow, gotta start climbing again after new years!

Definitely gonna try this on my channel. Not gonna be anywhere near that time though! Absolute beast. We'll see how close I can get

It was good to see Magnus with great pull-up form! Shoulders touching the bar by his hands, instead of reaching with his neck to get "chin over bar". Too many people cheat themselves out of a substantial amount of movement range by doing the latter.

I worry so much every time he squats lol 100 squats and 150 knee cracks

I heard sniffing Chalk helps you climb 7c and above

Im happy to hear your knee is doing descent Pete. Diagnosis from home, you hyperextended it

Damn nice, everyone dropped videos yesterday and today, Magnus, Bobats, Wideboyz, Emil, Mellow. Thanks Magnus and Pete for continuing to give us motivation to not sit around and get weak and fat during lockdown!

Am I the only one who hears his knees crack constantly during the squats?

So many comments already! I hope you see this Magnus-your videos are always so enjoyable. Much love to you and Marte. And please tell Marte that seeing her positivity on your channel helps inspire me in my climbing training... and you do too...!

38:38 was my time. But still sore from trying half of the challenge 2 days ago. Thanks for the inspiration. With lock downs extended I think you gave me some training goals. Under 20 minutes should be feasible for this out of shape 7b climber. 😀

Wow.. so glad you guys did this so I have someone to compete with! Maybe you guys will acctually give me a challenege🙄🙄 jkjk😂 this is so hard to go fast..😂 you guys totally crushed it! Nice job!!

Took me 19 minutes...you actually made it look easier than it is!!

The time between the four different types of moves is important, but if you can organise it "correctly" you might be faster with 100 sets of 1. 1. start with the pull up 2. when dropping down from this you immediately bend your knees for the squat ... 3. after getting back up again "roll" on the back to do the "crunch" 4. roll over for the push up No idea if this would work, but if you can create a fluid motion you would not exert one muscle "a lot at one time".

Thanks for the lockdown workout idea! Will try it when I go into quarantine (might swap the pullups for something easier though) 🤔

Guy: I don't know why my knees hurt Also guy: does squats like that

16:50 for me. Well done Magnus 👊 I need a lie down now

Your pull ups are always the best. You always pull all the way to your upper chest.

Awesome challenge! It looks super tough, honestly. The 100 pull-ups would be my crux. This sounds similar to the nightly exercise routine you mentioned previously.

Make more route setting videos please!!!! I love those for some reason!!! Fun videos have a great day!

Yeah good job Magnus! I've just got a sub 10 min with this method: 2 x 9 (18) *2x9 reps of each 4 exercises, etc 3 x 8 (24) ...decreasing to 5x6 reps 4 x 7 (28) 5 x 6 (30) = 100 The reps gets easier. There's a bit more time to rest the arms between the pull ups and less transitions, but your strategy is great also... You're a beast man! ;)

Alright. I admit. This is weird to say. But, i can't get enough of Magnus's muscles lol

Heier på deg i mesternes mester!

I'm so pumped to try this

Okay this was awesome, tried this on my channel. Got a time of 16:01, cannot believe how quickly you managed to do it!

My biggest claim to fame in life is getting my question answered by you in the q and a!

love you magnus!!

Im so glad you won the night test. Rooting for you!

Dude I was just typing about the squat form then you mentioned it lol. It's way easier and better if you squat as if you are sitting down, you don't sit down with knees flexed as forward as yours are. Anyway, I love the channel and I love your passion for perfection. Stay safe buddy

Attempt 1: started with 15 pullups straight. Did not finish the challenge 😐 Attempt 2: sets of five all the way. Time of 18:16. Pullups got hard at 60

Hi Magnus, managed it in 18min 3.35 sec, did the pull ups in set's of 5 and the other ones in set's of 10...will have to improve my pull ups, I'm 65 years old. 💪👍

Big ups Orin. Mans a beast

came in at 23 minutes 13 seconds and let me tell you I TRIED. next up sub 20

Good choice of movements, plus it was very wise to use that sit-up variation, more of crunches, actually. (Classic sit-ups may harm your spine. It'd better be replaced by “feet to the bar”.) And the proportion 50:100:300:300 (or rather 50:300:100:300, because the order Magnus did in the second circuit - like on the plate at 6:58 - is more effective) sounds more reasonable than 100:100:100:100. Anyways, it's a great one. Timed execution of 4 basic fitness movements - that's exactly the challenge everyone should try once in a while.

I was saving this video for a good moment! I have to try this now after seeing this 💪🏻

The vibe i get from this channel is great and so fun, love it!💪

This deserves an applause

I like this, I think I might throw this into my workouts

mate you definitly a monster pull ups hardest part but you nailed it

Props to Pete for keeping track of reps

5:12 The fast-forward of the squats broke me. xD Monke bounce!

Did this a few months ago in 9 minutes 27 seconds. Felt wrecked afterwards.

Hope Pete's knee gets healed quickly! Great video!
