I Trained W/ Rock Climbing World Champion ft. Magnus Midtbø
#fitness #gym #bouldering
I love magnus, he’s so chill and sarcastic but not cocky. Seems like he could or could not do whatever he talks about but then absolutely kills it with no effort.
He's so cool. I've had some climbers who were like, high level amateurs, and it seems like there's something about the culture that seems to foster that good natured, supportive attitude.
It's funny, I think the cockiness of the weightlifter coming in so cocky and then being so humbled made it hard for Magnus to be as cool as he normally is; he knew he was going to school this guy.
@@BenjaminJanasI think Will’s cockiness is intentionally ironic
It's amazing how he makes everybody feel unconformtable 💀
And Magnus is one of the most comfortable guy ever haha
Right, it's so funny. That cat and dog conversation 💀💀
It's Will's superpower. 😅
@@whe832kso10that was a weird conversation 😂😂😂
Genau. es ist ziemlich seltsam
4:35 that acting from magnus was SOOOO GOOD. I absolutely believed he was worried there
I expect you haven't watched a lot of videos of him dominating bodybuilders then lol
I'd like to see them!@@DanishCamp
@@marynehra502Look up his videos with Larry wheels
@@DanishCamp I've been watching his videos for years now. I know his whole vibe. But what I pointed out is a unique instance of amazing acting, that I haven't seen before, that's why I mentioned it.
I appreciate how different Magnus’ video is to Will’s.
Often with collabs it feels like I’m watching the same video twice, but they both highlighted other parts and showed different clips to each other. Great stuff.
Lot more dirty jokes in this video too 😂
Will even changed clothes between videos lol
Think this is the first time I preferred watching the other persons video, and not Wills… seemed more “mature” or something, not sure
@@Defnd3rThey are two different fitness channels. Will is more like a trend channel with a fitness twist he said this himself. Where as Magnus is a little closer to fitness channels like larry wheels
That’s kinda how Magnus likes to do it I think. Recently he’s been doing a lot of collabs and those creators posted similar videos.
Magnus is usually so stoic. It’s nice to see him joking around. Loved this video
Just humble and relaxed. It's a scandinavian thing lol
@@DanishCampyes it the culture you cant stand out Leads to alot of trust and comunity but also some people cant be Them selfes
@@DanishCamp exactly how i know them, and why i love them (norwegians). that calmness and side jokes are so refreshing sometimes ^^
Thats why i love will he just creates a nice atmosphere
Check his video with pewdiepie, 2 scandinavians bantering.
"You essentially said you don't like me..."
"Heh... .yeah." 😂
Savage 😂
That was funny
11:27 “4.6 seconds, that’s a time I see quite a bit.” Went right over Magnus’s head.😂
exactly, Magnus is not used to that particular type of humor
@@humanousheen743 Definitely the most uncomfortable that I’ve ever seen him.
Why is that funky? Sorry for being blank 😵💫
Will making a self deprecating comment about the average time he lasts during intercourse. Hope that helps
@@charlottekristensen4557 he meant like in bed, he finishes super quick haha. just a sex joke
"I feel like I'm just touching wall" reminds me of the Magnus video where he and Adam climbed the corner of an overpass, and Adam pointed out the faintest little blemish on the otherwise smooth concrete - barely visible on video - and said "that's a good hold". Apparently 'touching wall' isn't far off.
I remember this! Crazy times.
Which video was this?
@@ianbeck4437 th-cam.com/video/hZ6pm2G543E/w-d-xo.html this one at 5min 30s
It’s the “This bridge should not possible to climb” video from a couple years ago
Adams "friend" used a ladder, put some chalk marks on it, then came back with adam and told adam he climbed it. Adam didnt give up until he really did climb it, which is theoretically impossible.
I have no idea how to climb, don’t know anything about the sport and have no interest in ever attempting but Magnus is a freak. I know that much. Crazy strength.
he's ridiculously strong. He can lift 97kg off the ground with one finger at 70kg bodyweight. Also that 2 finger front lever is insane, pockets aren't deep on that board either
@@nino9273 yeah those monos are about 20mm
Haha go and watch him on the back/row machine with Eddie Hall.
th-cam.com/video/ljxrqutpUTo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Xw7192nYAwa5OLGG&t=263
I love how Magnus has evolved. Early in his youtube career he would never showbout like this, but now he know it makes for an entertaining video
I just hate the "omg look at me in a disguise videos"...other than that tho, his channel is really good.
@@Monscent agree
@@Monscent To me, those videos are the equivalent of pretending to be a noob in a video game, and then everyone is super excited when they realize they are seeing a pro player (well, everyone on their team is, and everyone against them not so much).
I know in rocket league whenever we meet pro players or content creators in disguise its really wholesome and everyone has a good time. I can appreciate the thought that Magnus is trying to do something like that. It's a lot harder to do something like that in real life, but he tries and honestly I kind of enjoy them.
“I was a lonely high schooler 😂😂”
lol😭
Alex Honnold started free solos bc he was scared to ask sm to belay him
People have no idea how demanding rock climbing truly is until they've tried it. An excellent way to compliment any fitness/weight training.
This ! I been doing it for a year and I still struggle like crazy B
Agreed it was my favorite thing to do between my main sports gymnastics and football. We had a solid rock gym close to the gym and I would go there after for a fun extra workout. Otherwise I would do a 5k on the weekend and a trail run the next day
This is the collab we needed!!!!!
YES 🔥
I’ve been waiting for this collab for about two years now lol
was Just about to post the same thing haha
FR 🔥🔥🔥
Like nothing we have never seen before, aaaamazing,wooow
What a clash of worlds!
U the goat
I wanna see you climb sometime it'd be super cool to see what you could do with your flexibility
We need a David / Mitbo collab!
Stay flexy
The Flexy guy is here
I'm glad Magnus pointed out that you only free solo when you have done a lot of research and really know the route you're gonna do. It's not like would go to some random crag and have Alex Hannold go "hey, climb this" and you do it. That would be insane.
Lol
Yeah.. about that..
yeah no way, never
Haha i guess you haven't watched magnus channel😂
@@designerbro7260bro couldn’t get sarcasm
Watching this has given me a newfound appreciation for what Eddie Hall did. The dude is built like a brick house but climbed an actual cliff/mountain.
I respect the elegance of the Chris Broad pfp.
Youre right I forgot he climbed a mountain holy shit
that Chris Broad image lmao
That black climb was really impressive. Never seen your videos before, but really enjoyed your attitude and playful energy. I hope you keep climbing. I'd love to see more climbing content from you.
his videos are gold even though its about working out or health he makes it fun even if its a niche subject.
Yes the collab ive been waiting for
Same here!
funny this should show up on the exact day that I - a 67 year old pleasantly plump GREAT Grandma with an artificial knee - spent my first day at in indoor rock climbing place! I made six attempts, all pretty good considering, although I never made it to the top of any route. My 240 pound son scampered up the walls like he'd been doing it forever - and it was his first time too! We bought a monthly membership and will be back at it next week - it IS much harder than it looks, but I am pretty proud of myself for even trying it
Been a fan of Magnus for a long time and a newer fan of Will so this is a really fun collab to see
13:50 I love the kids in the background trying the yellow track(?) after them, falling of, and looking back at Magnus like "wow, how did he do that?" ❤😄
Bruh I came into the comments just to see if someone else caught it I laughed so hard
@@briangalloway3684 Haha, if any One single human is a superstar somewhere in the world; its Magnus in a climbing gym 😂
16:08 "Im usually not so polite", said the most polite dude out there xD
Hes not
In his own videos he seems more polite or rather more motivated. In this one it felt like he was on low energy.
@@GiIford I think he felt more like he was off camera because it was not his own crew filming
That's almost all youtubers, They seem less pumped in collab videos compared to their own videos@@GiIford
Man Magnus likes you alot alot, more than most of his collabs.
I thought the same
Hell no. It was felt how little they vibed. Horrible collab imho.
@@Chef8898are you a bot account? “Horrible Collab”?? Clearly something isn’t going right in your life man, cause they both clearly liked each other.
new to magnus content, how can you tell?
I've been a casual fan of Magnus for a while through TH-cam. I definitely underappreciated how insane he is physically and as a master of his craft.
The collab I never knew would happen but was most certainly needed. Magnus' old climbing videos from circa 2/3 years ago are utterly insane, for anyone who wants some context on how just how freakishly strong he is
2:45 that's the most amazing thing I've even seen Magnus do!
Magnus is such a great teacher. I also assumed you'd have a hard time because you're so bulky (in a good way). Props for being such a fast learner and conquering the courses!
He is 1000x better than he was. Great is a stretch though. He is a great climber though.
I love the way they interact with eacother this whole video, almost inspiring. From talking about risks in the sport and the risks in life to Will not wanting to cheat start because he wants to keep his intergrity. They were also having alot of fun together and had great chemistry. i never comment under a video but this was a real joy to watch.
Was binging old videos to fill the void, then this came along!
I do this all the time 😂
Wow y'all don't have a job or lives??
man they're both so good-natured and kind, i love how their energy bounces off of each other. good combo.
4:32 will was felling strong until magnus tear him down 😂😂😂
Thanks will for the like ❤️❤️❤️
Btw congrats on 3M 🎉🎉🎉
Where is that level of acting when Magnus is in disguise lol
Totally had me
That dude got the fuck outta me on the weighted pull ups 😂😂
lmao me too
12:04 I like this effect, rly clean edit whoever edited this
Thank you! (Editor)
As a climber and former gym guy I love seeing vids like this!! Climbing will be suchhh a big sport in the coming years
Everyone should go check out the video where magnus free solo with Alex Honnold . It was craaaaazy
Its hard even to wacth knowing they were both fine at the end of it lol
probably one of the best video of his till this day
apparently there is another coming as well!
That video makes my palms freaking sweat. So intense.
@@SPQR_14 I would be soo scared
12:34 the most graceful fall I've ever seen
Your comment popped up for me right as it happened 😂
4:28 Will was so proud of himself for a second there 😂😂
It's funny the tone difference, I watched the Magnus video first, very relaxed, chill, calm... and then the tone of the Will video, very anxious, tension feel through it, like just background music and tone etc..
That pfp...
Editor of the video here
That’s intentionally done because Magnus is an experienced climber, so him and his video are relaxed and calm (from his perspective)
However, Will’s perspective is worried about the height and panic, thus the musical score accounts for that
11:23 blew my mind… i can’t understand how he did that so quickly and fluidly
Will just falling to the ground like a dead fish half the time is hilarious. Mad props for doing rock climbing as a body builder!
Magnus is such a great person. He knows his strengths and doesn't boast. Always helpful
There’s a comment that says Magnus makes people really calm. I think it’s important to note that free soloing is probably more terrifying than skydiving. What I’m saying is Magnus has such good mental fortitude. That in a non anxiety inducing situation, like shooting a video with will, there far far from that mental limit that Magnus is used to being at. Therefore, he has an extremely calm demeanor compared to where he has to be at mentally, so much so that it rubs off on other people. It’s all a mental game people… shout out magnus
Magnus casually turning this into a competition was GOLDEN
Genuinely paused at 2:48 and just thought what the absolute fck am I witnessing, that is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen
Yeah like my brain couldn't process the physics of how he was levatating like that XD
Dude! Mag with the one finger front lever IS so Preposterous! Magnus is the man! I like this collab!
OMG another golden collab
Will's perfectionism shows in his videos, they just keep getting better and better❤
As someone who climbed for 3 years and now works out in a regular gym, this is so entertaining to watch! Climbing strength is different compared to anything you do in a regular gym
It's always nice when you watch two creators separately and then they come together for a colab
no way my favorite gym youtuber and my favorite climbing youtuber just did a collab
I love the editing, where every time Magnus compliments Will it cuts to him bailing off the wall 🤣(13:59, 14:28)
The cut to Will just flopping on the ground around 12:32 killed me.
Will's easy-going but teasing and brazen attitude vs. Magnus' stoic Norwegian humility... the pair I didn't know I needed 😂
@09:46 "you can even do a backflip if you want..." what a savage lol
The “yeah I could prolly do that” feeling is strong when Magnus is on the wall
Will stays impressing people in these collabs. Shows how hard he works day in and day out. Good shit, will! Love your channel and energy.
0:14 ONE FINGER PULL UPS!?!?!??
EIGHT ONE FINGER PULLUPS 😭
I can't even do 3 proper pull ups yet 😭
Should watch some of his videos. His grip strength is insane
They are really common among strong climbers. In Czech Republic there is a competition where people do pinky pull-ups for reps or drink 1 liter of beer while holding a pinky pull up.
Silvester Stallone once saw Wolfgang Güllich doing one finger pull ups. Because of this he wanted Wolfgang to do the climbing scenes for Cliffhanger. Wolfgang was back then undisputed the best climber in the world.
Amazing collab, dude! I saw people asking you to meet with Magnus but didn't expect it to happen so fast!
When you’re out there on the side of the rock, climbing it it’s almost like the vibration of your soul for a moment, matches the vibration of the universe, and you are both resonating at the same wave length. It’s a mystical experience between man and nature.
2:42 Great demonstration of the strength and endurance of top climbers.
The not-so-subtle competition throughout is so funny to watch
finished watching the powerlifting competition video and here is already a new one wow
I love watching new climbers progress. I don't know why but I love seeing people grow more than they thought they could. Very cool.
I had nearly given up, but people like Will give me hope to try again. Coming from 5'3 260lb, I'm now down 10lb in two weeks!! 🎉 Keep doing what you're doing, Will. You give so many people hope.
10:19 Their random convo cracks me up😂❤
Magnus Midtbø is the strength demon. Thanks for video
Second time watching this lol. Do more Magnus collabs! This is probably the most comfortable I've ever seen him with anyone for a first time collab, he's even making fun of you! Can definitely tell your personality puts him at ease.
Actually good chemistry between them
Just wholesome interaction from two of the nicest, fittest people on TH-cam
LOL! I love these two together!!! They need to do more together! endurance tests, diet comparison, ETC!
20:10 Magnus does the hardest route in the gym 'doesn't take off his shirt'
Eight...ONE FINGER...pull-ups...??? What the ever loving fuck...
Yes, I love loving fucks :)
Magnus is usually a lot more quiet but he likes u so much
Genuinely super well done on the black V2-3 that was probably the best use of footwork and technique I've seen in any of the "strong boi first time climbing" collabs magnus has done.
Also loved that your vid shows off the other boulders that you tried, as opposed to only having footage of the same boulders from magnus's video. Hope the climbing addiction takes you 😈
I love Magnus colab videos! I was very impressed to see you send a V3, it's a great testament to your athleticism. 💪
21:18 me trying to explain to my parents why it's okay for me to smoke pot😅
Soooo true.
Free climbing a cliff is insane
Guy looks like he's ready to sell you Skyrim after this
This guy just almost pulled his bodyweight in a pull up!!! Ridiculous strength!
16:00 WE FINALLY GOT TO HEAR MAGNUS SWEAR
5:53 Yo he wasnt lying about that crack.
2:45 that zoom out was one of the most insane things I've ever seen
Magnus deadpan humor works well with Wills personality
I love how Will is able to immediately make Magnus feel loose with his jokes. Great chemistry. One of Wills best videos.
Magnus really doing the rounds with these collabs
Will I love the humour you add to your videos make working out more fun then the struggle it can be definitely a motivator thanks for your uploads glad I stumbled across videos
Nice. Hangboards brought me to new strength levels in my power lifting.
The zoom out to reveal the front lever at 2:41 was so funny
Yes! best collab! I love Magnus
This is most I’ve laughed at one of Wills videos in a while. Quality is always on the rise! Great stuff!
My two fav fitness TH-camrs
This was my two worlds colliding! Great video! Love both of you
@14:00 ''You're looking really good'' - magnus passing the booty in red hot shorts
I just binged watched your videos and a new subscriber. You put on more than 20lbs of muscle in a few years! Insane. Great video as always. Love the humor lol
magnus went mog mode here: 2:43
The way Will hits the mat when he falls gets me every time 🤣
1:34 camera was ready for the innuendo but none came
This is confirmation for me that Stallone in cliffhanger was probably a daft casting
Lets go, I have a rock climbing gym right by my house and I fuckin love it.
the sarcasm of Will, the dead pan humor of Magnus...you guys need to do a podcast!
Yooo magnus on the channel is wild. He's a beast!
