Where do i put my email? In the "subscribe to our newsletter" section of the site?
The code you receive from spinning the wheel does not work on checkout... I won two free bags of chalk, but I can't redeem them:(
@@gamree_alt_ there was a pop-up on the website that let me enter my email and see if I won
@@isaschulte6709 My bad! It worked, just not with the chalk stuff. All good now. Let me know if you still have issues.
@climbingStuff so just subscribe to the newsletter? instructions unclear.
All hail god emperor magnut meatball

He’s not Swedish. No meatballs
@@SuperNima so Magnus no balls? 🤣
Dik riding
Should add that the show is supposed to be a very wholesome challenge between retired athletes. Of course, being athletes, they can't help themselves but try their hardest to win.
Also, Håvard was a handball player, so he should be familiar with throwing balls at least.
He was a great player too. I know him mostly from his time spent in Aalborg Håndbold.
Underhand throwing has higher accuracy. Just like granny throwing in basketball
im sure challenges where losing gets you electrocuted adds to the competitiveness ;)
It's "supposed" to be. Having Magnus on wasn't fair. He retired from the high competition scene, but he's still a very active athlete. He was in top shape still. They should have waited alteast 10 more years before having him on imo. Same with Kristin Holte. She stopped competing internationally but she's still VERY active nationally.
where can i watch this show full?
The reason they have a such a big segment of their backstory is because every person who joins the show is a retired national sports “hero”. People who were at the top of international sport. So most people in Norway enjoy the whole segment of looking back at previous glory moments of the sport. For USA it’s like…if a retired Michael Jordan or like..babe Ruth were to compete a few years after retirement. Aksel is one of the best winning athletes in his sport of all time. Not all of them are as dominating internationally as Aksel, but many of them are world Champions at least once in their sport. (Like Magnus who had a pretty good finish in climbing etc)
@@gordonlove5121qué gordo
It was a great example from them and you took it way too literally
@@gordonlove5121 what a weird thing to get sour about, the internet was doing just fine today 🙄
this is the weirdest troll I have ever seen x) @@gordonlove5121
The population of Norway is 5.4 million
The population of the USA is 331.9 million
So of course we are talking relatively here
Even if the entire country of Norway loved these people it still wouldn't compare
But he was only talking about how the people of Norway view the athletes on the show @@gordonlove5121
@@gordonlove5121 Did you miss the part where he said retired NATIONAL sports hero? It's a norwegian show and they're norwegian athletes. The norwegian viewers care infinitely more about the athletes on this show than any NFL or Basketball player.
Dude, most people in my country have never even touched a baseball, myself included, so I feel magnus pain 😂
what about trowing rocks as a kid?
I never played baseball or anything but I still have a very decent throw.
I can juggle, really good at what's essentially the Swedish version of baseball, but I can't remember anything in life that'd have taught me to throw hard and precise at that distance. Throwing precise and far yes, but any time it's a close and precise throw it's underhand. There's simply better control if you're not well trained for it
@@fast1nakus yeah but I wouldn't do it precisily, I would just throw as far as I could
@@fast1nakus throwing rocks as a kid? wow. i mean, i live in the barbaric lands of eastern europe, Serbia, but even in this place near gods backside, i was told to never throw a rock, cos i might hurt someone or damage property. and not just me, the worst of the kids have respected this.
Want to point out for everyone unfamiliar with Axel (Lund Svindal), he is an absolute fearless beast and legend ski racer.
As a Swiss, whenever the Swiss skiers failed, i rooted for axel. such a humble and nice guy. spoke German as well
Holy crap. That’s Axel Lund Svindal? Best Norwegian downhiller ever? There are a few contenders. But he’s right there. 😊
He's no Lasse Kjus
Aksel actually have the better accomplishments except for Slalom and the Junior championships. More medals and more podiums in more disciplines. @@larsegenes6031
These guys have insane lower body strength and balance
So funny to see someone completely new to this show giving first impressions 😄 As someone else commented, this was actually what made Magnus a household name in Norway, outside of the climbing community and TH-cam.
Really entertaining review, and congrats on the sponsorship!
Did it make him a household name because the show is popular in general, or because of how well he did?
@@TheMarkoSeke A bit of both. The show is popular in general, so it's a good place to get exposure. But the fact that he made it far and impressed people by physical feats, as well as having a genuine and likeable personality, was definitely important.
As a scandinavian the phrase "i guess baseball isn't very popular in norway" is kinda funny :P I've only ever encountered baseball through movies and tv series, i've never seen a baseball field nor even heard of anyone irl who has played it. In sweden we have something similar called "brännboll" but there you hold the ball in your hand when batting so you only toss it to yourself
Either way, loved the episode, thanks for the great content!
Maybe softball
We play Slåball("brännboll") in Norway as well, its the same i believe, with a tennis ball.
You probably still did throw snowballs as a kid, that could also help with throwing. In finland we have pesäpallo which is similar to baseball but the ball is pitched vertically to the batter
in denmark we play rundbold which im guessing is the same, you throw the ball up to yourself, hit it with a bat and run around a field@@blodhevn2353
@@shbldIt's really simple.
If a country doesn't play baseball, they also don't play softball.
All of these competitors are PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES so I don't think it's inconceivable that they have such a high level of respect for each other!!
Have you ever watched the Ultimate Fighter? xD
Norway is also a pretty small country, so a lot of the athletes know each other despite coming from completely different backgrounds
i luaghed when you said "this guy named Aksel" one of the all time best alpine skiers of all time ¨^ but yeah håvard had an advantage on the throwing part as he was a professional handball player so he was always gonna do well there
And those guys(alpine skiers) train a lot of balance and single leg stuff, Aksel would win this challenge probably 99 times out of 100
It es enough when you say of all time once xD
Mesternes Mester is produced by NRK, the "BBC of Norway", and is very popular for families to watch. Whereas most people know Magnus from TH-cam, it's this show that made him a household name in Norway. The season with Magnus ran 2.5 years ago. Never thought I'd hear my own dialect on an American TH-cam channel, but hey (17:00 - ski jumper Johan Remen Evensen)
I genuinely found it to be the best competition show I've ever watched on T.V. Also, did I pronounce "klatring" correctly lol?
Anne Margrete is from my hometown Haugesund. Funny to hear your own dialect on american youtube :D
@@ClimbingStuff nope not even close LOL
@@ClimbingStuff I think the nicest thing that can be said regarding your pronunciation of "klatring" is that it was better than what you did to "Håvard". ;)
@@ClimbingStuff It runs in several nations if you ever run out of the Norwegian one!
I've been practicing orienteering for 13 years and that's the first time I've seen it being mentioned anywhere. Definetely gonna watch for that.
You should Anne margrethe is sutch an amazing athlete. Also they go in to detail about the sport and achievements of every athlete. Incredibly inspiring
I think the craziest part about the show is that some of them sometimes are closing in on 50. That's insane.
I think both Ingemar Stenmark and Thomas Ravelli where 55 when they won the Swedish version 😅
For the ball throw challenge I def would have used underhand too 😅 With how close and upright the targets are placed, its easier to get a more controlled trajectory by doing underhand
And you'd expect the handball player to know what they're doing
With the distance i probably would have tried to throw it like a dart or underhand.
What I've learned is that orienteerers have inhuman cardio, and pretty wellrounded physique in general. I guess competing in difficult terrain with a compass and map does things to you.
Orienteering is basically running an ultramarathon in a swamp, in the dark. They have stupid cardio and the terrain they are used to is just nuts.
From what I understand it's a mix of navigation, cross country marathon running and hitting / completing objectives.
In many orienteering challenges, you don't even know where you are at the start of the competition. You must use your compass, map, observational skills, and triangulation methods to pinpoint your starting location before you can even begin to find the first of the sequence of checkpoints which comprises the full course.
At elite competitions, it's still mostly physical with the best athletes winning, If you're ever lost in the wilderness you'd love to have an orienteering specialist with you. Google maps won't work in the apocalypse.
@@MrVvulf At elite competitions, you have to both a great athlete AND a great navigator, because if you can't navigate, you are going to lose loads of time and end nowhere. These guys are running through rough, complex terrain, whilst navigating. They do not stop, ever. So you are reading the map, choosing the best route, making sure you do not get lost, etc. All at the same time as running straght through knarly, steep, marshy... forest.
@@alanparker3130 Indeed. At the elite level, I'd say it's considered a serious blunder if anyone makes a navigational error, which leaves most of the onus of success on athletic performance.
"Magnus is fast as shit" 😂😂😂
Congrats on the Rúngne sponsorship, thats dope!
There's one of his gym videos in which he mentioned that he was going on this show & that he was doing some leg training for it. It doesn't surprise me that Magnus was fast in the sprint. I don't think he has a slow twitch fibre in his entire body, lol. PS Now see if you can get him to remove his uniform, set aside his grip strength toys & join you in doing some fun dynos
Slow twitch fibres are used for feats of endurance. Magnus has ridiculously good endurance as seen by his bar hang record
@@tylerbarwell2294 True. I wasn't being entirely serious though
I also wasn't surprised on the core exercise challenge where you can get electricuted. Magnus has been doing a long core routine every night for decades and of course climbing forces you to train that as well for steep/overhang climbs
@@tylerbarwell2294His ability to run a marathon with zero training on one or two of his videos is ridiculous. And I am a 5.13+ climber with a 2:38 marathon best ( but only from crazy hard training)....
What a ride. By far the most entertaining climbing channel ever created.
This was a great video! Håvard is a handball player and should know how to throw a ball. Aksel is a former alpine skier with multiple olympic medals. He is now the host of the show :)
I’m buying rungne chalk now and it’s entirely because of your vids, best advertisement ever. First time I’ve ever bought something a TH-camr is advertising.
Oh wow. Didn't know Magnus was part of the Norwegian version of this show. There is a Swedish version as well and just like you said about the Norwegian version it is held in high regards. It is just great to get to know these incredible athletes better and gain further respect for their abilities. In a lot of cases some simple nostalgia about amazing events in the country's sports history as well. Amazing that Magnus did as well as he did. I guess the amount of training he does in his TH-cam career is probably more than most there.
You have a real knack for summarizing shows in a very entertaining way, but of course we all love our meatball too
Ah, yes, the classic “Survivor challenge but only the puzzle at the end matters because it’s time differentials will be so much more different anyways”.
If you haven't seen Physical 100, the Korean gameshow pitting 100 of South Koreas best athletes aginst each other, I reckon you'd enjoy that as well. Similar super wholesome vibes between the competitiors.
Physical 100 was fun, but man the k-drama style editing ended up annoying me
@@sagebauer1077 100% this. Fun, wholesome, but man... watching a 3rd slow mo replay of every other scene got old fast.
Oh nevermind, just found the video of you covering Physical 100
Aksel Lund Svindal is one of the greatest downhill skiers in history, and he was without a doubt the biggest star that season. hes now the host of the newer seasons, and is pretty much considered a national treasure at this point, a close second only to the Royal family.
Just to point out the level of the athletes who compete in this show. I will have to go back and check, but I think most of them (this season) were Olympian gold medalists. (Might just be that there were a bunch of world championship gold medalists)
Magnus was one of very few who didn't have something like this.
So happy for you getting the Sponsorship!
Underarm throws are easily more accurate when power isn't needed. It's much easier to line up with the eye and is how I always throw rubbish in the bin so this was my first reaction when seeing the description of the featured challenge.
Plenty of sports utilise it even if it's not a primary technique (e.g., cricket, tennis, rugby). Also, check out the video: Why Shooting 95% From the Free-Throw Line Is Almost Impossible (ft. Steve Nash) | WIRED
It goes over the underhand shot too.
I'd argue that in this situation overhand would be more accurate, but you need to line up your upper arm towards the target and keep it still.
Take a look at how professional darts players throw, then add a basketball wrist action.
Can we appreciate there is Aksel Lund Svindal in this show, as an Austrian 🇦🇹 (and of course an alpine ski fan) I have been watching this guy racing down slopes since I was a teenager 🔥
My uncle is over 80 now and still competes in orientering. It's basically just cross country running combined with finding your way to checkpoints using map and compass, paying attention to the elevation lines on the map as you climb hills is very useful way to speed up your map reading.
It's so weird to see someone outside of Norway watch Norwegian tv shows, and actually liking them. Good video my dude, no idea why youtube reccomended this to me but I ain't complaining.
this dude's literally the moist critical of climbing
who of climbing?
penguinz0 @@toxic_narcissist
Who in the world is that?
@@toxic_narcissist TH-camr with 13.5m subs
looking at his speech patterns, I'm thinking more Kwite
The "skiskyting" isn't sharpshooting but biathlon in English, I believe.
Literally translated it's "ski shooting".
"Klatring" is from Old Norse and the modern English word "Ladder" comes from the same word. Both basically means "ascend".
Your chalk tier list was how I discovered you and I had bought some mag dust after! This video is great I’m glad I subbed
That show, the champion of champions (mesternes mester), is a fantastic show.
Norwegian sports heroes are awesome and we get to see them hang out, backstory, and competition.
It's awesome!
That what TV should be all about, inspiring people having a good time together and challenging each other in a wholesome way, you don't need so much scripted fights and bs when you have a great concept and good contestants
Yay congrats on the sponsorship 🎉 Love watching your sarcastic takes in videos and keep up the good work!
Orienteering is in the US as well btw, it's just normally associated with army/rotc competitions
I'm American, but spent my early teen years in the UK, and belonged to the orienteering club at my school. The orienteering experience came in quite handy when I enlisted in the US Army.
At the Warrior Leader Course (for context: WLC is the first leadership course Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) attend. WLC is a month-long course that teaches Specialists and Corporals the basic skills to lead small groups of Soldiers.) there is a land navigation challenge which IS orienteering.
I beat everyone, including all the Army Rangers in our class of around 300 people.
Thanks for the synopsis. I can't imagine watching all the shows. Magnus fan for years.
We need more reality shows like this, it's a more wholesome, more athletic I Love Money and that's been one of my favorite shows since 08
Dude! First time watching one of your videos ever and congrats on the sponsorship! That was a sick backstory on the chalk sponsorship! ;p Hell yeah! 💪
BBRRROOOOOOO I AM SO HAPPY YOU GOT SPONSERED BY RUNGNE! Love your videos, an Magus's, keep it up!
Aksel Lund Svindal is an absolute monster machine, repeatedly coming back from severe injuries to totally dominate his sport. Totally world class legend!
The meatball himself sponsored you, what a legend
Seems like this show was filmed around when Magnus was doing all that ninja warrior training.
So his running was probably at peak form
Hey this is my first encounter with your channel, I don't follow climbing at all. But I like your style, subbed.
8:30 respect for turning down the others and congratulations for the sponsorship!
What an amazing video. love the editing as well, very funny and entertaining. love it
I found one of your videos just some time ago and now I am ridiculously interested in bouldering. We, in Germany, also had a show like that, probably designed after this one, sadly no climbers in there. Also you make this content really interesting and entertaining, keep up the good work :)
I believe the idea is from Belgium, but I found the Norwegian version the most entertaining (not just cause of Magnus)
Yo I grew up where they are in a Norway this was so trippy to watch. For those who are wondering it’s Arendal and a lot of the challenges are on Tromøy an island just outside the town. Really cool to see Magnus and the other competitors doing challenges where I grew up, this was awesome!
Thanks for sharing the show with us. Also congrats on the sponsor it’s refreshing to see somebody sponsoring some thing they actually believe in.
Great summary! I wouldn't even have known about the show without your video.
That was the smoothest sponsor i've ever seen :D Great video, i' just discovered you and will continue to watch as your content is very enteraining !
Congrats on the sponsorship!!! Making moves!!
Magnus also reached the final of another game show called "Forræder". A show about 20 celebrities placed in a house with one or two hidden traitors among them (basically like the game among us) where the idea is to eliminate them through cross interrogations and finding clues with how people vote etc. To get far in the competition you need to stay off the radar and not raise suspicion and Magnus were easily one of the best liked and trusted people in group, unfortunately he trusted his partner in the final a little too much as she turned out to be a traitor...
They have it in america too, I think it is called Traitor. I watched both seasons, they are at a Scottish castle. Very good show!
Great video. as a Norwegian i was hyped to watch the show when it released.
Yooooo congrats on the sponsorship that's amazing dude!
" There is Magnus, and this guy named Aksel left" My Norwegian heart just cannot. xD
I love this channel, keep up the good work!
i love this show i am norwegian and mesternes mester aka masters of master got me into climbing because of midtbø
congrats on the sponsorship well-deserved by the best for the best
Love hearing about a girl that beats mens times in high level competition. Shes not beating average joes, she is beating the best of the best and thats down right dope.
I love your ad placement. I usually just skip them but I decided to watch how you played yours. Good job bud!
Only ad ive ever interacted with all time. Clicked the link, now im getting 2 free bags of mag dust. Thanks my man, great video too
In scandinavia, a sport called "Handball" is very popular, so only hitting 4 targets is crazy to me as well, I think youd get the same result in the US though
Im norwegian and i have watched this show before, i really wanted magnus to win but it was very unfortunate that the throwing was the thing that got him out. I thought this video was great and very cool to see you make an english version of the show
'Grats on the sponsorship dude :)
Thanks for a highly entertaining video too!
This show really surprised me as well. First year they did this, it was a snowboarder that won, against all odds.
Aksel Lund Svindal is one of the most decorated Norwegian athletes ever. I get that this is a climbing channel, but doing some research on the other competitors would make for a better video.
We basically never play baseball in Scandinavia, instead we play "brännboll" which is sorta similar but there is no pitcher or catcher, the striker tosses the ball in the air and then hits it.
However, underhand throws are more accurate than overhand ones, the benefit of overhand ones are power which is not needed to hit something 5 meters away, so I'm not surprised that guy did well.
Pretty sure this is the most wholesome sponsorship story I've ever seen!!
Thank you for your positive comments. We had this Show in Germany too. Every athlete had his episode with his special discipline as one of some, and his sport career and story. It was great fun to watch your heros this close. They combined also, running, calculating, counting with heavy distractions. They stopped after two or three seasons but they did a Winter episode as well. I loved it.
reminds me of a watered down version of the challenge. relating it to climbing jay in recent seasons dominates much large people using his power to weight ratio. being able to hold is partner up longer most other guys before dropping her off the cliff
"From now on, we will just focus on magnus" *continues to talk about Anna margrethe*
She did really well and won the sisyfus challenge
i love that he seems to have had a lot of fun
I’m a Norwegian I’ve watched the show but this is awesome.I mean u just got new subscriber right here
I would love to check it out but I'm having a hard time finding it. I couldn't exactly get any full length episodes on youtube and a google search didn't yield anything more because I don't speak Norwegian haha
its actually called "Mesternes Mester", heres a link to the season Magnus is in. You'll need a VPN to connect to norway to watch it though unfortunately.
tv.nrk.no/serie/mesternes-mester/sesong/12
Thing here is that Magnus is a much more active athlete still than many of the other contestants (usually its older legends in this show).
I bought Magdust based on your comparison video. Not disappointed
As a norwegian who has watched this show over many seasons. Its fun to see how its viewed from your point as an american!
Fun watch, great content.
Also btw, in my kids kindergarden, they have bolted on holds on the mountain side.
Anyone know where I can watch the whole season? Been looking for it and struggling
I love this style of TH-cam videos 👍
Hell Week is actually army training in Navy SEALS.
Hell Week consists of 5 1/2 days of cold, wet, brutally difficult operational training on fewer than four hours of sleep. Hell Week tests physical endurance, mental toughness, pain and cold tolerance, teamwork, attitude, and your ability to perform work under high physical and mental stress, and sleep deprivation.
Any other Norwegians get a hit of nostalga for three years ago, i just remember Magnus absolutely troing in the finals and being so mad
Damn, a year supply of chalk would be dope to win!
(He said, knowing full well he doesn't climb or leave his house unless he really needs to)
Ok 5 min in to your video and im already searching for the link to watch this game show. Nice.
Wow, you got a Rúngne sponsorship after that video? That's awesome.
I badly want to watch this full show but i cant find it online, only if you live in norway with some log in. So yeah i dont live there, does anyone know how to find this? Looks like an awesome show
Your my favorite climbing youtuber
Hell yeah stoked you got sponsored by runge. Your video did make me buy their chalk too
This show is so good! And it was shot in my hometown Arendal, Norway
Someone's already snagged 24 magdust - keep an eye out for more! :-)
if you win the free bag of chalk you dont get it even if you spend 50 dollars on a 3-pack of magdust, you have to spend more
@calderrahn318 I spoke with their support. That coupon is free gift with purchase.
It's eligible for their small chalk bag (not the big) and any item included with it let's it work. So if you get the bag and chalk, it will work. But it had to be the smaller bag, not the large one.
to be fair here.. those people in the show are high end athletes.. even former olympic winners.. thats some pretty bad ass backstories
The program originates from Belgium, but today it only exists in Norway and Sweden. Its a great show. And it is a common thing in scandinavian tv that over the top personal drama/intrigues are left out unless the program is specifically designed with that in mind.
Magnus was also in a show called "Forræder" (Traitor) in Norway a couple years ago, which had nothing to do with athletics at all. He got to the final in that show with two others. But don't know how you can watch that outside of Norway. One of the best tv shows I have ever seen.
At the end when Maguns gives his comment look at the mf jawline holy shit.
YEAHH!!!!! GET THAT SPONSORSHIP SHIP BABY!!!!
I don't do climbing, but this guy's enthusiasm is super contagious.
Grats on the best Sponsor in the world dude! :D
I'm so sad you didn't include the night tests, watching the reaction time one with zero context is so funny
