@@high-captain-BaLrog Uff... if only willpower would be enough....hahaha, but still amazing strength level. Considering his age it's amazing to see him be able to do that.
ive seen a guy on instagram do 220kg for reps on those heavy duty pulldown machines, he's not massive either, i think he weighs 110kg he's one of those guys that can rip the top section of a coke can if anyones seen that. but yeah smaev would do 300kg like the other guy said
Magnus, as a Norwegian I can say you are a national sports treasure! As it goes with Norway vs Sweden and our brotherly banter I have to say this was awesome to watch. This Swede is clearly a national sport treasure to Sweden and it was awesome to see you two humble guys collaborating! Keep it up!
Magnus - please please bring back old videos of just you and sometimes Marte just climbing at you home gym late at night with voiceovers. This new stuff is cool but that old stuff was the reason i watch this channel and i wish you could bring that back
REAL WORLD STRENGTH! This is the best strength and fitness video. Shows how important mindset and friendship can be. I'm 77 now but still train hard and videos like this help to inspire me. Thank you
I appreciate the subtle discussion on how exhausting it is to carry around so much weight in muscle mass. It isn't often discussed, and the general assumption seems to be that the more muscular a person is, the easier they can carry their own body weight.
I was watching the Rogue Record Breakers competition at the Arnold Strongman Classic 2024 a couple of weekends ago, and Cim apparently hadn't signed up but was just hanging around, and asked if he could jump in and try one of the grip events, no warmup or preparation. He came close to the top of the pack. Recognized him right away from your video, was funny to see. Guy just waltzed in and nearly won
Magnus' technique on the stones improved as he did it. He was rolling the stones to his chest with an overhand grip, which is more efficient than doing it with arms on its side.
Definitely. Although in a very specific way. Magnus did a video with one of the best climbers in the world, who couldn't bench press more than 60kg. Magnus also benches like 70. You can see here they're only doing back-dominant exercises, because that's where Magnus is good. In climbing actually having strong legs and chest is a minus, since it only weighs you down. So his strength relative to body weight is actually, ironically, due to him being weak in everything that's not needed for climbing.
@@matschbirne5363 Well he himself admits he has weak legs and benching 70 as a pro athlete who can pulldown into the hundreds does mean you have weak chest/front delts and probably tricepes
@@kamshik I mean, your points are solid, but also Magnus still did some pretty hefty running and military challenges that definitely still require a lot of strength and endurance legwise, at least compared to say, another climbing athlete. Magnus likes to say he's weak at everything a bit lol =D
The way bodybuilders train is for hypertrophy. They are not maximizing the performance their muscles can have by how they train. When you train for performance like strength or muscular endurance, every size increase in muscle is secondary to the maximum output or long term duration you have. Rock climbing and Gymnasts require muscular endurance for their sports, once you can perform a task in the sport, you repeat it over and over to build the endurance. Bodybuilding does not focus on function of the body. When I used to work in construction, I did all the labor jobs and did them well. The bodybuilder juice heads would only do labor when the boss came around. Their entire personality is like how they train. They just do everything for appearances. It's like a female mindset in how they seduce others. Bodybuilders have no respect for the mechanics and long term objective when it comes to fitness. They are responsible for all the bad things about fitness like roid use and toxicity of gossip and bad mouthing others in the industry. Strong man training also has incredible value, it's just unfortunate that the sport doesn't get as much coverage compared to bodybuilding. If more men trained like strong men or gymnasts. Our society would have strong leaders with integrity. Because bodybuilding is so popular, our society is the same, full of actors, cheaters and fake leaders.
Yes! This was the video I've been waiting for. It would've been fun to see you try a strongman lift such as the log press, but heck, this was super cool! That atlas stone for reps was insane.
For atlas stones, Magnus's total of 10 stones is equal to 700kg lifted, whereas Cim lifted 7x160kg = 1120kg. If Magnus tried lifting 1120kg in a minute (regardless of the weight per repetition) - he'd be gassed too :D Anyway, loving this series! Please make more!
Such a great video Magnus! keep up the good work:D you really should get Cim to try out Brian Shaw's grip stone challenge (the small & heavy ones he got) I think Cim would really love& crush that challenge. Cheers
I'm 120 kg 1.80 like his smaller version and i totally understand his struggle. We consume twice energy but our lungs aren't twice larger so when we unleash full power we have like few minutes run time. We have twice muscles but our joints aren't twice larger so they become weak points for injury. I'm 100% sure he could pull more but he didn't want to risk a wrist injury..
impressive. for lifting the stones the height of the platform should also be adjusted to the lifter's height. much harder for shorter Magnus :) well done though
Another great video, thank you, Magnus! And of course thanks to Mr. Johansson, he seems like a true gentle giant. It is really interesting to see the power/weight comparision.
watching these videos really puts it into perspective that there is a sweet spot when it comes to the human body weight to strength ratio. The stronger you get the the more diminishing returns it seems
Magnus very fun video. Pound for pound you are a beast! Your guest was fun to watch also.. very very strong man. Impressive.. both of you. Hello from Florida.
Very different strength profiles, but equally just as impressive. Magnus - so strong for your body weight and Cim equally as strong for your body weight. I'm just in awe of both of you and your power and strength! 🙂😎😎and ❤to you both!
you should review the city climbing gym in CT New Haven, it's a small rustic gym, and the atmosphere is amazing on the weekends, the owners and employees are welcoming, and it's amazing an amazing place to climb at.
That fact that you are able to compete with theses guy is insane. as someone new to hitting the guy regularly it amuses me that many of your lifts I can compare to, well when I uses pounds and you use kilos and disregards the difference in them.
Awesome idea! 🙂 Just lifting, isn't that exciting - other than just a show off how strong Cim is. But do the lifts relative to the body weight is a whole other thing.
Magnus's strength per bodyweight ratio is insane - no wonder he can do 120 boulders in one session. I've tried to do 20 of the mid-difficulty routes in my gym (around V3-V5) in one session and it was really really hard to get them all.
Actually a lighter person has always advantage to move his own body mass, while the heavier one has always advantage to move "external" mass (mass moves mass)
@@GiordanoFanti I'm talking about as a percentage of body mass. This is why insects are magentudes stronger than larger animals, pound for pound, able to lift and carry many times their body weight, like how an ant can haul a giant object many times its mass over long distances as if its nothing. It comes down to basic physics. The larger the animal, the less it work it can do in relation to its mass. Like, many animals are so big that they barely even lift their own weight. Meanwhile, smaller animals can easily carry their own weight along with multiples of additional mass. It's just basic physics, yo.
@@KittyBoom360 Yes that's true. Smaller animals has more efficiency that's a fact. I can confirm it as i'm a small guy (50kg x 1,55) and i can bench twice my weight 😂 Anyway even "mass moves mass" is basic physics, if you get more mass you'll be able to lift more. The downside is that you'll lose efficiency to move your body (and you'll consume even more energy)
@@GiordanoFanti Agreed, that's all I was saying. This video seemed to highlight how the smaller guy did better, but that's expected. The smaller guy has the physical advantage in relative terms. A fair comparison would be logarithmic, not linear.
Magnus had the right idea. Static friction is stronger than sliding friction. Being able to keep the sled moving actually makes it easier. Also, given it was a soft surface, the rolling resistance is higher for a heavier weight. His competitor was literally pulling up hill. I had Magnus inked in for the win from the get go.
MMMMMAAGGG!!! YOU CRUSHED THOSE ATLAS STONES!!! Cim is an accurate representation of the strongman community. Everyone knows that the strongest muscle is the heart
Like everyone said, love this cos two incredible athletes competing hard doing crazy weight, but no chest-bumping screaming ego BS, just humble and friendly fun.
Magnus is SO strong for his body size. And he appears to only be getting stronger! These two guys pair so well together, they are so gentle and happy together. I enjoy these videos. Chill, fun times, no egos.
I moved a 500-700 pound rock up hill maybe 15ft at around 75 degree incline, Got some assistance for the top roll over the lip but to be fair I worked all day and then had to dig quite a bit to get it set to possible. Then I moved it on a wheel chair over open field where it fell at one point and sheared the tube steel off clean like butter. I regained it and got it loaded after another half mile push. It was a giant impact diamond. Just don't blow the wrists or heart boys and you will survive.
