Insane Military Pull Up record 

this, bring the boys on the wall and lets see what they can do :-)

This is part 3 of the series

Now Thats a Great Idea

This, a hundred times this. Now that you've been in their environment, bring them to your playground and see what hey can do!

BRILLIANT

True that, I guess it's because when you train as a climber you always go for full range of motion so it's muscle memory maybe.

@@janu1472 Yeah, he trains that way so probably a habit. But I think he could squeeze out a few more reps if he didn't exert himself more than necessary. But it really doesn't matter. I've seen Clarence Kennedy do squats at a powerlifting meet. You don't have to go below parallel, but he would go ass to grass. It's simply not that important to them I guess.

His chin was a few inches above the bar & then he would lift his chin up. You can't get a better pullup form than that.

@@targeted1948 I'm saying he could make it easier on himself.

Targeted 1 I mean you can. Pulling full chest to the bar

The ego is more so intrinsic lol, it is of course still there

Read my name

@@earnmoneyonline2756 no i saw your pic and ran away

Eggless cake is unheard of.

Certain Europeans are like that, taught as kids that egotism, boastfulness etc is not a good trait for a man. Not all of Europe is like that though, you get the quick tempered, prideful types who weren't taught well as children, the Italians, Spaniards Baltic countries etc

they were just humoring him

Agreed, they recognize he's made of the same steel as them. Anybody who dissagrees, lets see you perform any of these challenges

@ Whistle -- * a part The word "apart" means "separate from," which is the opposite of what you intended.

@@rondonnis6588Yes, they were humoring him, but they do deeply respect him

most Norwegians are fluent in English

@@tussalgull5986 Yeah, I know, but it's just cool that they chose to speak English just for us. I can speak Italian, but I'm much more comfortable speaking English. I wouldn't dream of doing a video in Italian. In summary, English speaking nationalities are lucky that they can get away with moving to many countries, but not even bother to learn the language. Everyone else will do it for you.

@@salvatorebelloni8422 I live in a region with a big american military base and it's always funny when new soldiers and their family arrive. 50% "what the f...why are so many of you speaking our language?" and 50% be like "why are some people who work in stores NOT speaking English?" Some are baffled in that way, some the other way around...but always baffled. ^^ - for those who expect bus drivers or sales assistants to speak english...be aware that we learn English in school and those who were pretty good in school aren't typically learning these professions. Not that there wouldn't be smart and bilingual people, just about the majority.

@@torstent8979 I always find it interesting how casually English is spoken in other countries. In the UK, we also learn another language at school, but nobody really learns it properly, even people who have high grades. I have relatives who speak two languages, and I've very, very rarely met someone else who is bilingual, even if they are of migrant descent. If you speak two languages in the UK, it's considered impressive. Where as in your country, I imagine speaking two languages is just the norm. I think it's hard for non native English speakers to understand just how unusual it would be to expect your average British person to be capable of speaking another language briefly, let alone do a whole video in it.

@@salvatorebelloni8422 British people are just lucky their language is widely spoken. I think education would drive other languages more if we had a niche language like Norwegian. By knowing English we can work in many different jobs and in multiple different countries around the world. You'd be a lot more limited in your prospects if you only spoke Norwegian.

lmao

Seriously. Dude has some insanely explosive core strength.

His deadlift form is so bad though, he’s gonna injure his back

He was doing them fast to utilize the muscle rebound effect or whatever its called, more cheating compared to magnus

​@@vihreakuula4319 It's actually less efficient. He was gased. The best is to control your form and breath.

dude is a legit monster

Could've shattered the record if he didn't pull up to his adam's apple every time...haha

yeah Magnus’s pullups were infinitely more strict than the other guy’s, and he still beat him

@@andrewseburn Magnus is a good guy. I think he went super strict on the pull ups so he wouldn't beat the guy by too much.

@@sphigel1 Based on other videos he also seems to be quite strict with himself, always pointing out his mistakes and always the first to say if he thinks he didn't do something properly. That kind of attitude is probably a big factor in why he's so successful.

Full ROM like that is brutal.

Ofc. They are Viking.

@@danielandrews1801 Nah, there has been minimal pillaging of the British Isles. The Telemark Battalion is pretty cool, though, and they have been known to shout "To Valhalla!" before entering battle, on occasion.

@@MrVeps1 I'm confused. Isn't this video from Norway? Lol.

@@danielandrews1801 yeah, but "Viking" was more of a profession than a people. If you went viking it basically meant you got on a boat and started raiding foreign coastlines. Those guys aren't that big on pillaging English monestaries, thus the joke.

@@MrVeps1 Oh. Wow. I always thought Vikings were all Norwegians. Oops. I get the joke now :)

Official Norwegian army RU-vid channel actually commented, damn

@@MachineManGabb yea didn’t know it existed

@@fardtuser i didnt either and i am from norway

Kudos to Hæren to bother commenting! Respect!

Read my name

I can barely manage 8 and that’s without added weight.

I never did pull ups much, but when I did they were definitely hard. I, as well as just about everyone else in my class, only brought chin up to bar. Shirtless guy brought his shoulders up to the bar for a while there O_O

I'm at around 13 after starting my fitness journey 7 months ago. If I could do 25 weighted ones, I'd feel like a beast.

My Grandfather pressed 900 pounds with his legs and weight was 132 lbs.He also curled 25 dumbbells 100 times with each arm alternated.14 pull ups with his index fingers.He did this in the 50's I wish he was here today.I am now 58 and in top physical shape when I was 20 I pressed 217 and weight was 135 pounds.Today I am 5'11 140 lbs.💪

@@WhySoSerious551 No need to tear others down to try to make yourself feel better.

Now imagine if this was in America:)

It’s an on camera vs off camera kind of thing. A soldier mentality will always be dirty at its core

@@hungry4more1 no lol, maybe its like that in your country but i wouldnt call the nordic soldiers dirty at the core

@@Max-xt1fo say Nordic with 2 syllables and tell me they’re not dirty

@@hungry4more1 hahah, that was actually kinda funny ngl

Smol back hehe

lol

Can’t believe I see you here sensei

Basicaly smol back is jelous

His back bigger than yours lol such smol back xx

@zijuiy wttuy noticed that too haha

C’mon don’t disrespect him like that 💀😭😭

hahahahahahaha xD

You mean Seth Rogen 🕵️‍♀️🤔🙃😅 😊😘💪👍

Yes .... Very similar. ... !!! Even the body size looks similar. .. what a co incidence

@Connor Gaughan At the top, it's hard to quantify but you know it when you see it. Magnus just pulls the bar to and through his chest. scapulas are fully sucked back, retracted and down. this allows the biceps to fully contract.

@Connor Gaughan you are correct about that, but it's not only about arm muscles, if you go full lockout and let go of your shoulder you have to depress it again. I'm not sure which is harder and I'm sure it's different for every person though. I like going from a passive hang with fully extended arms to active hang to pull up. And I can do less pull ups this way

@@johnsullivan676 biceps is the least activated arm flexor in a not supinated position, heavier load is on the brachialis (which as far as I know is a stronger arm flexor than the biceps yet a lot of people are unaware of it's existence) and brachioradialis in this style of pull up

@Connor Gaughan yea just give it a try and see if it suits you

Bros name is magnus that’s a alpha male right there

I agree. I'm tired of American arrogance.

definitely!

@@davidhunternyc1 hmm

@@davidhunternyc1 have you met American soldiers? I sure hope you are talking about Americans, not American soldiers.

It is the Nordic way

Hahahahahaha

lmao

Gotta give Magus swag pants if you want it in a climbing video.

wear this on the rematch so we can beat you next time :P

I bursted out laughing man. Bless you! 😂

Even if we could try that hard and keep up with the pump on big muscles, for us, regular people, our hands would just pop-off before we can give that much effort 🤣🤣

Thats actually not perfect form, he hug the weight with his legs and push it forward, make the lock-out a lot easier.

@@rochoddo5380 At the same time he went way higher than he needed to, so all in all he could've done many more.

@ZonZorZerx not really i don't think, he is capable of going so high in part cause of the leverage (help tremendously with the lockout) and he is doing it pretty much from the get go. I know he is mad strong just pointing this out cause everyone praise the form, you can even see the guy compting the rep looking at him do that, wouldn't pass if they were strict with him. It really make an absolutly massive difference.

the last ones weren't perfect form tho...

Easy for a bodybuilder.

The best I got is 18pullups with +15kg

@@Will-power1 yeah not bad but i saw your pullups and you only go halfway down so you gotta divide it by 2

you're not built like us

ya :D i like things like these collabs, its a good mix of climbing and other content

Remember how great a runner he is. Magnus is super impressive and he’s a genuinely good person.

@@914Rocky That running test was bullshit.

With which runner did he do a collab with?

I want to see him box Eddie.

Yes and it is called Comradeship and it is what happens when You are a Recruit in the Forces and You Train together .

That's because they aren't on steroids you watch roided up bums going to the gym and just fucking being a menace

Thank you!

@@anshumanghossd7297 "just fucking being a menace" lmfao idk why it made me laugh

Well to be fair this type of my maturity can be found in many aspects of life especially team building activities or sports the individuals involved simply encourage the correct behavior this is entirely due to a willingness to accept and help others

good

never give up 💪

“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”

@@roydamanna Great quote. Who said this? I'm gonna print this on my wall lol

@@kanyewest3811 Jim Rohn For you a few more motivational quotes: "Making an effort, does not guarantee success. Not making any effort, guarantees failure." "Nothing in this world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort,pain,difficulty." "Once we're thrown off our habitual paths, we think all is lost, but it's only here that the new and good begins."

He generated so much force it rattled the entire contraption

he is Thomas the engine

dude..

As someone who trains, the massive intensity he showed at the beginning absolutely robbed him on how many he could do total. There's a Goldilocks zone to rep speed, too slow and the extended engagement time kills you, too fast and the inertia acts as extra weight, and if you go full intensity, the only limiting factors are muscle engagement speed, and strength against that inertial effect, such that in some cases youre essentially doing near max muscle capacity on every rep, slowing down as the muscle fatigues and looses capability. I absolutely think if he did it at the same speed as magnus hed have another 5 or so reps in it. Even with weight youre used to, nothing leaves you feeling dead after a set like hitting it with intensity.

Noone think him hitting the floor of the contraption so hard gave him an unfair advantage? He seemed to bounce off of it which I would suspect gave him momentum on the positive half of the rep.

The explosiveness on those situps... scary!

Yes those sit-ups were amazing I think he is just bulked up

Terrible form on deadlifts and pull-ups, though

But im worried for his back his form for deadlifts is not good.

@@tuttifrutti2229 Yes

😂😂😂😂 SO hilarious but sadly true

True, but it also does depend on the unit. SOF units like the 75th aren’t like that.

@@strykerjones8842 unfamiliar with what your talking about tbh, could you elaborate? Whats new with the military?

@@kevinnavarro5848 The United States Special Operations Command has implemented a “Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan”. This is exactly what it sounds like, there will be quotas on whom is accepted into the program and who will qualify to be an operator in our special ops. This will be imposed on the men training and determining who qualifies as our highest level spec op teams. If these men don’t fall in line with the quotas they will be forced from the military. Our military is currently under a “stand down” order while members of the armed forces who are deemed to have been loyal to former President Trump are weeded out. We call it a “stand down” Lenin called it a “Purge”. Our military is being politicized and not a single word from the “Media”. They will be the boot heel of authoritarianism in short order. Don’t take my word for it, look into yourself. The National Guard is still in Washington D.C. they never left, they’ve fenced it all off. All the Guardsmen were “verified” before they were deployed to be “loyal”.

@@strykerjones8842 Yawn. The loony, authoritarian Trump Cult tried to murder politicians and subvert democracy. That's why there has been so much security. You people are so weak minded. Even the word diversity makes you tremble.

They’re all fluent so they probably think in English when they speak it

@@benstott9294 I’m a natural bilingual having French parents but born in America but since I learned French first at around 2 1/2 and then English at 4, so I thought in French at first but as I used English more in school it slowly took over as the Language I spoke the most easily and now I think in English. I’m pretty sure you think in the language they use the most and since they are Norwegian I assume they just speak English for the channel but practice English daily, so I’m pretty sure they would think in Norwegian since it is the language they grew up with. But again I’m just assuming

English is a very common language in those countries.

pretty common in the northern eu countries.. most will speak about 3 languages.

@@wekker090 this is cap

A perfect pullup for Magnus = shoulders above the bar.

The other guys us hella strong but with Magnus' form I highly doubt he'd crack 10 at that weight

Hes a beast

mans a monster

Yeah pretty glad to have that guy defending my country lol

My only knitpick was he was bouncing.

It's a substitute for "ja", (the Norwegian word for "yes"). But saying "yes" all the time in English sounds stupid, so we say "yeah" instead.

LoL almost didn't notice it until now but this is what makes magnus awkward and funny ... Magnus and his sister are the most awkward sounding people I know on RU-vid

@@piyushuttarwar2273 is his girlfriend

Dude the Dutch word for yes is ja as well and the people in the north of the Netherlands say ja in between sentences all the time. We must've interacted a lot in the past.

@@liftingisfun2350 I know that but I still remember his sister and 😂 somebody in the comments had said that she is just magnus with a wig which was pretty funny and I remembered both of them are very similar soo....

Like most places in the world in Norway you will find people all along the personality specter from the truly vile psychopaths, to people you would be proud to call your friends and everything in between. I might be wrong but I do believe the battalion screen for personal aptitude so they weed out at least a significant part of the douchebags.

Norwegians has something called jantelåven. It means that you shouldn't blow your own horn, brag or believe you're better than anyone else. It's both a curse and a blessing. The society traditionally has humbleness as the ideal.

@@taffelost6221 Same in Sweden, Jantelagen

@@taffelost6221 Thats interesting. I'd call it a blessing, but I can see why its also a curse, as its probably a little awkward trying to sell yourself. Jantelåven is so refreshing in our current climate and I welcome it with open arms. I hope one day more people will take up the jantelåven lifestyle.

These Are the cream of the crop. Top 1% of young adults in norway

new gym=better deadlift for magnus

yeah not tom tho that guy a rat

We all thought the same thing as soon as we heard deadlift hehe

Tom too!

I also like that that the "referee" did no jokes about, he counted the pull ups that counted fair and square lol

Except for height

I edited my typo and it took away my Magnus heart. 🤣 See where education and school gets you? Last time I correct my mistakes!

What exercises

Ikr that's what makes his channel so awesome

Btw he's a rock climber so his channel is rarely about these excercises

I am no more than an avid gym person who does does the typical stuff and I had the exact same experience as you

And 100% hotter.

i mean, it really has to be a strong mental thing for him. its like suddenly leaning forward when playing videogames ;D

what if his shirt is just really heavy

@@-GyBer- what if he isn't that strong but knows how to put water on his worthless muscles? 17 whole pullups? My (now deceased) Uncle did 7 at age 75. This new soyboy generation makes my skin crawl.

more like when he takes his shirt off his ego gets 50% larger

same

that wont take long

@@RoyClaessen Agreed. I think if he goes actually rock climbing outside again it will give him another huge boost. Those videos were so insane and amazing.

@@slapdisgaem6601 it's getting warmer. Wish he'd wear a helmet when out.

me too, im not even a climber and really like his videos

very clean pull ups, leaving no doubt. Super strength!

Not insane at all. Solid genetics, young age and hard work equals just what you saw

@@mickeydrago9401 except it requires way more work than 99.9% of people are willing to put in, so yes it is insane. the way you phrase it makes any significant achievement seem dull

@@mickeydrago9401 by this logic anything is not insane because its within the laws of physics, therfore for anything to be insane it would have to be impossible.Because if a fat man ran faster than a professional athlete "he would just have better genetics than the pro athlete" and vice versa

@@sen4744 Still within the hundred percent that is capable and possible and not insane. Insane is now the domain of this youthful definition that doesn't relate to mental illness at all and in fact somebody that is going to work hard enough to be in this top 1% and will more than likely have a much better and healthy mind. Maybe what you should call insanity should be killing yourself getting fat sitting on a couch and watching TV Maybe you should look up the word insane and not use the Urban dictionary

Icelandic is old norse language. Not Norwegian.

@@titter3648 Icelandic and Norwegian both descend from Old West Norse. Icelandic just changed much less. Nynorsk Norwegian is also closer to old Norse than Bokmål

@@EVO6- still, Norwegian is very far from old norse, it sounds very different

Bring smaller is good tho, cube square law, big lads will never be able to do as many pull-ups
