@@123prova It’s a video of two guys with a shared passion for climbing, and mutual respect for one another, enjoying each other’s company. It’s safe to believe a great athlete can also treat others with respect and be a genuinely pleasant person to be around. Through the years I’ve never seen or heard anything proving otherwise about him, quite the contrary.
I love how Adam immediatley notes that in actual climbing 'grip strength' is just as much about body position and leverage as actual strength. It really shows why he is a master of his sport.
Just when I think Magnus is the nicest guy I have seen on this channel, he brings this dude on. That GRIN is infectious. I found myself smiling hard just watching. I needed this today.
If you haven't seen Adam before ... watch his climb of "Silence" proposed to be the hardest outdoor clime ever completed at 5.15d, with like a V15/16 boulder problem as the crux right in the middle. It's this insanely cool cave and the route goes from near the ground across the roof and out the mouth of the cave and terminates there. Such an amazing climb, route, and location. The whole video about his jurny training for it and the struggles to finally nail it is a really good watch. Adam actually makes really beautiful climbing vids, very talented team.
In my experience, people at the top of their field are usually super-passionate and humble. They love what they do and they love learning more about it.
@@Mark-fd3mg fair enough. I think there’s quite a bit of nuance and it helps that many pro climbers are down to earth (and it’s a grind to build a brand that makes a comfortable living; climbing has notoriously been a broke persons sport / you don’t go into it to get rich). Not sure humble can be applied to lot of professional athletes or super successful individuals.
@@thequeenrat-5 That would depend very much on culture. I notice many Americans are expressing surprice in the comments when guys like this are genuinely humble and pleasant, or even assuming it’s an act for the camera for marketing reasons, while for Scandinavians (and culturally similar ppl) it’s like “Of course they are, why wouldn’t they be?”
I know he gets this a lot, but Adam’s spirit for the challenge and the way he gives 100% of his effort into things is so inspiring. You don’t get many people like him in the world
This is the most wholesome video you've released in some time. Your editor clearly knows what to do - leaving in the infectious laughing, comparing pinkes etc. Bravo.
@@TheCorrectionist1984 I started at 15 I am now 18. And even tho everyone said don’t train till after a year I started training after the first month. I practically lived on a hangboard and campus board. And I did 6-8 hour sessions 5 days a week
I'm not sure how it is off camera but when Magnus and Adam make any content together it's such a positive experience no matter what they're doing. Everything they make together seems to be a banger vid.
It is so cooling seeing how psyched Adam is. Just great energy. I really love seeing content like this. You can really see how invested Magnus is and how much he enjoys geeking about stuff like finger positioning. 😂
If you ever need an excuse to travel to Canada-Yves Gravelle is 3x grip world champion and a V15 climber. Super nice guy and probably the strongest climber, overall strength-wise
I wouldn't have even been surprised if Adam was strictly weaker on all of these metrics than Magnus. Adam's magic has always been in his technique: his rapid and precise movement, flexibility to get the best angle on holds, and world leading ability to find rests.
I think the physics behind the difficulty cutoff make a lot of sense. The limiting factor is actually how much friction you can achieve, not how much weight you can lift. Since friction breaks at a specific point the lift becomes impossible at a very sharp cutoff, without getting close to the amount of weight that you could lift with a normal grip.
THIS. However a different grip or lift most times work different muscles tendons, ligaments, etc. So even one grabs with the hand a bar or sometihng else, the amount of force you can exert is very different (wrist alone vs whole arm, etc.)
@@appa609so what is so shocking about this? The 'best rock climber in the world' has the same grip strength as the guy who posted the video, am i missing something? Did i miss a part of the video? Or was the title clickbait?
Man I feel the pain, last year when climbing I dislocated my kneecap, couldnt go climbing for months BUT I made a fast recovery through training hard. My doctor and physiotherapist said it would take around 3-4 months to recover, I did it in less then 3 months! If I can do it, so can you! You'll get back to the wall, just stick to it and get over the hurdle :)
@@beamyy7745 Dedication, hardwork and professional help. Before I got out of the hospital I made sure to get in contact with my doctor to get a early workout program, which would help strengthen my then very stretched muscles. After following the workout 2 times daily for a week, I got in contact with a physiotherapist that helped me get my strength back by doing body weight workouts, some machines, and free weights, did that 3 times a week. It took around 2 months and 2-3 weeks for me to get back to full shape and in the end the leg I screwed up is now stronger then my other leg lol xD
The large diameter grip is wrist strength, the second test was straight finger grip strength, which you guys have an unimaginable amount. But neither of you realize or mention how tough your fingers are and need to be to hold on to the little edges, you guys have fingers of stone.
I haven't seen Jakob's grip strength measured but for sure it must be at the very top of the charts. I think he would try really hard at this. Adam is not known for having crazy grip strength, but rather perfect technique, insane flexibility, and the loudest screams!
Adam's still a beast, even after a three week break and not a lot of practise with this sport! I watched Emil's grip strength comp video a while ago, and he's crazy strong on this stuff too, but that competition lacked some of these grip types for a full comparison. It looks like a big part of your max lift comes down to general lifting technique. The movement of lifting something from the floor is not what you'd usually do as a climber. Would be interesting to see what would happen if you rigged it with a rope on a pulley system so you could pull downwards instead of up. Although once it goes over your body weight you'd end up just pulling yourself off the floor 😆
Super stoked for Adam's sport climbing course. I watched the sneak peak the other day, and actually used his advice later that same day to send a V8 in a few goes in a style that's historically been my anti-style! I didn't sign up for bouldering blueprint since I'm already doing well there, but my goal this season is to send a 5.13, so I'll be sure to sign up for this ASAP!!!
when Alex Honnold tried the grip strength measurer at the Oscars he hit about 87 lbs compared to the 160's for these gents. As Magnus said, climbing is about more than these isolated metrics.
Alex is actually quite weak though relative to these guys. His specialty is long endurance routes, not bouldery stuff. Lattice has some clips where they talk about the training they did with him and just recently he was able to do his first 9a route. For comparison I think Adam Ondra did that when he was 13 lol. The thing that sets Alex apart is his mentality and willingness to do things that no one would think of doing. In terms of climbing strength and ability, he’s still great of course but nowhere near elite aliens like Adam ondra
this was awesome, but I wish you guys had also climbed! fun to see the strength tests but one of my favourite things is seeing you guys climb together!
3 weeks break and do this? OMG. I'm speechless. Btw those 2 guess are the best advertising what climbing community can have at the moment. Super nice, friendly and always in good mood. But still top of their fields. Other sports can be jealous.
The laughing and joking in this was so good to watch. Magnus provides content that is enjoyable and uplifting (no pun intended). Keep up the good work. 👍
Alex Honnold tested his grip strength aswell, he got 70 something with his right hand, but then he got like 93 with his left hand. He was really surprised. I was surprised that both you and Adam only tested your right hands!
So good to see another video FINALLY that isn't some kitchy concept or some guest who has nothing to do with climbing. This feels like the classic Midtbo videos I subbed for.
I have the same hand dyno and they have it adjusted to max open. It only moves a tiny amount when squeezed, so you can adjust it from open pinch-sized down to effectively 1" barbell handle-sized. As climbers and grip-trainers know, open and closed grip strength is quite different. Just now I got 158lb full open and only 142 at the small end (right hand). I can just close a Captains of Crush #2 with my right only (not quite left), but can only hang from the largest pockets (1½ pad?) of my hangboard for 10-15s (weigh 230lb), and only climb V3. Never had access to all the toys in this video! Point being, there's a lot of dimensions to grip and finger strength! Never mind actual climbing technique.
I think the crazy thing about Adam is his pinch strength is almost his entire body weight in ONE HAND. Other body-builders could definetly pull more, but Adam's strength-to-weight ratio is just unmatched.
@@funnybusiness7840washed up? Are you braindead? He finished second in wsm like 2 years ago and 2023 won his own competitions against stoltman and the 2023 WSM
Wait, an actual video of Magnus, not some costume where everyone pretends they don't know who he is? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. This also might be the only climbing video on all of TH-cam in the last few months that isn't actively trying to sell me Rungne chalk.
This was great to watch. For future videos I would not be telling anyone in advance what weight the record is, it would potentially have an effect on the outcome. I remember when I used to climb, sometimes I would just pick out a route that looked good to me and didn't want to know anything about it (rating, pro, etc.) It really is more fun to find out yourself.
The way Adam was holding the circle grip, it is clear he refuses to "cheat" by pulling up at an oblique angle. He demands of himself that the lift is ALL fingerstrength. So I think he could do more weight, if he were gripping the way Magnus was gripping it.
A couple of things that are important to note: climbers are more about power to weight ratio and also train more for endurance. Obviously top level climbers have very good peak strength, but over lengthier events or movements for time I think they would fare even better. Another factor is tendon strength, which is something less obvious and also hard to measure, but things like shallow crimps on minimal fingers aren't something often trained even by grip athletes
I'm genuinely honored to be mentioned as strong at something grip related from you, put a smile on my face hearing that haha
You were phenomenal in that grip comp video. Really super impressive
Well deserved man!
Your level at climbing with the fact that you're weighing 80kg is what makes you have such a strong grip.
No other pro climber is your weight
@@huquui8789weight doesn't really affect his grip since most of it comes from his height
Jan Hojer?@@huquui8789
Adam laughing and having fun and being a great guy while insisting that he is super competitive. I love that kind of attitude!
Was about to say the same. Couple of awesome dudes right here
Yeah definitely fun to watch
That 45 Kilos / world record moment was genuinely hilarious
U can only channel ur ultimate strength *when u r hanging for ur life*
-not a rock-climber
Reminds me of luffys attitude from on piece. Always jolly but can be completely serious if he wants to
Magnus interrupting himself when Adam uses his octopus technique to yell "YES!" is so funny to me, love seeing the excitement towards climbing.
Octopussy* xddddd

Idk if its been suggested before but you should try and collab with Magnus Carlsen, teach him climbing and learn some chess

Magnus and Adam comparing pinkie sizes 😂
Every like= 1 push up

Magnus casually saying "we might break some records today"
Would be interesting to see the grip strength test with a master electrician or a master carpenter, stone mason, or a blacksmith
normal people: - you have strong arms,
Magnus: - you have a very strong thumb

I remember when I used to climb, sometimes I would just pick out a route that looked good to me and didn't want to know anything about it (rating, pro, etc.) It really is more fun to find out yourself.
6:30 Makes sense since a load on the end of the fingers makes them third class levers, shorter ones can exert more force with the same tendon tension.
i actaully love magnus's videos, i hope i can meet him one day .
I was dying watching this after the meme video, of Magnus and Ondra comparing pinkies😂
At 5:53 what magnus was reffering to "momentum" is norweigian "dreiemoment" meaning torque.
cool -- bet it's literally turning moment, another word for torque.
He still said it wrong, it just be moment in Norwegian. Momentum refers to things in motion
The way Adam was holding the circle grip, it is clear he refuses to "cheat" by pulling up at an oblique angle. He demands of himself that the lift is ALL fingerstrength. So I think he could do more weight, if he were gripping the way Magnus was gripping it.
A couple of things that are important to note: climbers are more about power to weight ratio and also train more for endurance.
Obviously top level climbers have very good peak strength, but over lengthier events or movements for time I think they would fare even better.
Another factor is tendon strength, which is something less obvious and also hard to measure, but things like shallow crimps on minimal fingers aren't something often trained even by grip athletes
