This just uses the stupidity of the general population to make money, nothing actually tough about it if you trained to do it. This would be a smart investment for most climbers to do, because they know they can beat it, whereas someone with a business degree and no physical fitness would be a bad investment as they know they probably cant do it, kinda the opposite applies to investing in a business, the guy with a business degree would make the smarter decision when investing money into a business, and the climber with no knowledge or experience would make a bad choice so they wouldnt do it. Partly why most poor people will stay poor for their whole lives, they give their money to things they don't understand then wonder why they are stuck working 9-5 living pay check to pay check.
Pete seems like such a good man. Very humble, but also switched-on, present and wide awake etc. He always tries to encourage the best out of you, and probably everyone else he knows.
I guess if TH-cam ever stops working, Magnus can show up in multiple disguises over and over again at carnivals, across the globe, to steal their $100.
The "street challenges" usually have really thick bars that actually roll on bearings (like the ends of barbells), making them super hard to hold on for long. But im sure you guys are up to the challenge!
It's nice that Pete can beat Magnus at some things instead of Magnus just winning everything like normal, haha. Also kinda funny that Pete basically goes into roof climbing mode for extra power. All that training in the cellar I guess.
In the first test, Pete wrapped his thumbs around the bar, whereas M. held on only with fingers. Speaking from experience, wrapping the thumb around the bar the opposite way increases hang time around 50% (you feel the place between thumb and index finger moving as you start to lose your grip, and you re-clamp the thumb and you can keep going). This is how my training partner and I worked up to five minutes total one-arm hang time, in blocks of 30", and suspended the whole time. It's here on YT. Magnus's effort in the first test is the more impressive, IMHO. And chalk on plastic does NOT help-it makes it more slippery, we found (we were playing with 2" plastic water pipe over a 1" chinup bar at the time). Bit if you *are* using your thumbs, then chalk is a massive assistance (as we saw in Magnus's one-arm hang effort). On a rolling bar, using one or both thumbs, is a test of thumb strength (specifically, pinch grip opposing the un-rolling moment) as much as hand strength. Great effort both of you!
you two should go looking for them guys who do the scam and rince them for all their money xD. Act like you don't know each other and both beat the game one after another! :D
It is not a scam. Magnus had plenty chances. This tool he devised is way way easier than the test... smaller diameter bar with a super good grip is not what the challenge is

@@KirstenRietveld It may have been a juji video, but yeah it was him, juji, Anton all trying to do grip/hang challenges in a park. Magnus used like a sling so as to not destroy his finger but still was like a solid few minutes longer than Anton and juji
It actually is to an extent - over a certain climbing grade (8a or something), there is not much difference in strength, but in "try hard ability". Check out Lattice's article (or someone elses?) on that.

Bro.... I'm in extremely good shape. Martial arts/wrestling/boxing all that...this thing kicked my butt. Managed a minute and 27 and felt like my forearms and lats were gonna fall off. You guys are savages for this. If you learned how to wrestle you guys would dominate so many positions. I'm adding this to my training every other day. Will see how I improve in 6 months time. 🙏
When your fingers are feeling numb and your arms are stinging from the pain of hanging from a rotating bar, just picture in your mind the poster of the kitten that says "Just Hang In There" You'll keep holding on longer for sure.
Third day vacation in croatia, like 4 in the morning, completely wasted i tried this with my friends outside a disco. The structure was more like a football goal. I get on the chair the guys had to jump on the bar, as soon as i grab i realize the bar is reeeeally big, so i slip, fall down, brake my ankle. On holiday. 4 in the morning, high as a kite. Ambulance won’t come unless i pay so we called a taxi. Great holiday btw
I think it is a little bit “easier” to hold a little bit longer if somebody do it before you because once they set up a time, you do have a reference point and then you have a clear goal.
It makes sense to try it on different bar sizes and measure the one you have. We have a quite thick spinning bar in the gym and it feels like having it thinner will make it noticeably easier task.
I did this 'challenge' at a outdoor festival last summer and they used really thick bar, you couldn't wrap your hands around. The challenge was to get to 60s. It was very difficult, i only made it to 40ish seconds
@@Paroex even without the thumb wrap a smaller diameter is easier. The distance between the center of rotation (center of the bar) and your vertical arms is the important part.
Agreed. The one I tried in Vegas was larger and there's no chalk allowed. After the average greasy person it was quite hard but still doable for 100 seconds a couple from our crew did it.
Magnus did the bigger bar with the ball bearings, didn't wrap his thumbs around the bar, no chalk, and still hung for one minute and fifty six seconds. Magnus is by definition a "BEAST!"
@@alexclark8442 Chalk doesn't matter for a spinning bar. Extra friction against the bar is irrelevant when it's the bar itself that twists out of the grip.
@@elijahjakobsen7898 Which matters if you have a thumb lock or a non-rotating bar. But without a thumb lock, it doesn't matter if the slip is the bar rotating or the sweat making the skin slip. Fit a ball bearing to an axis and it likes to rotate. Fit a larger ball bearing outside of a smaller, and you have two ball bearings that allows rotation - but outcome is the same. So either you need a non-rotating bar or a thumb lock. The thumb lock depends on skin friction - so then chalk will matter.
This was weirdly mentally draining as I had to resist shouting at my monitor encouraging you both on in a pre-recorded video XD I'm sure if you re visit this when the world is back to normal and have a crowd, they'd be cheering you both on, which i'm sure would get a bit more endurance out of you.
I would love to see you try this again while watching something interesting like a movie. I wonder if not being focused on how long you’ve been hanging and not having someone counting off the seconds would make a difference. I know personally I can do things I don’t like doing much longer when I’m not thinking about how long I’ve been doing it. Probably different with this though, based on the amount of strength you guys are using.
Needs a revisit. Since these are found at fairs, that means no warm up, no chalk, one hand is mildly wet because you just sat down a drink and the bar needs to be at least 2 inches in diameter. 2 inch PVC over a stationary pull up bar should suffice.
I want to see him going around to places taking their money. It would be hilarious.

I get on the chair the guys had to jump on the bar, as soon as i grab i realize the bar is reeeeally big, so i slip, fall down, brake my ankle. On holiday. 4 in the morning, high as a kite. Ambulance won’t come unless i pay so we called a taxi.
Great holiday btw
Incomprehensible shit dude
@@nikitqa6985 yeeeah didn’t put much effort in writing it, i guess if you want you can understand
Sounds like Croatia
@@PolarisIII Croatia is a heaven on Earth dude !
Very deceptive. I wasn’t aware that the pole is free spinning. Much tougher than it looks👍👍
I miss climbing so much youre videos are a good help;D
I think it is a little bit “easier” to hold a little bit longer if somebody do it before you because once they set up a time, you do have a reference point and then you have a clear goal.
It makes sense to try it on different bar sizes and measure the one you have. We have a quite thick spinning bar in the gym and it feels like having it thinner will make it noticeably easier task.
I did this 'challenge' at a outdoor festival last summer and they used really thick bar, you couldn't wrap your hands around. The challenge was to get to 60s. It was very difficult, i only made it to 40ish seconds
yes magnus' bar was missing some diameter, I think it makes a big impact
The only thing that makes this easier is the diameter of the bar its usually larger
Maybe Magnus not wrapping his thumbs around the bar makes up for that. I know that it's more difficult with his grip style for sure.
@@Paroex even without the thumb wrap a smaller diameter is easier. The distance between the center of rotation (center of the bar) and your vertical arms is the important part.
Agreed. The one I tried in Vegas was larger and there's no chalk allowed. After the average greasy person it was quite hard but still doable for 100 seconds a couple from our crew did it.
Also the real ones use ball bearings which might make a significant difference
Also the bar being in slings instead of fixed... It allows the Frame to sway which would normally be seen as rotation of the bar in a fixed frame.
I feel like Pete's abs are talking to me..
This seems like a challenge you would do with Tom and Juji.
Why? They would drop out at 10 sec mark and it would be a very short video.
@@Krushard They would arrange it, with Magnus being the guest. If this was a normal year that is.
yeah they would actually build the bar to spec with bearings
@@Krushard they would complain about tendinitis the whole time and Tom would cry
@@chrishansen8026 this looks realistic enough
Magnus has to be the record holder of soooooo many of these challenges and doesn't even realise
pete crushed him on this one though!
Pete seems like a genuine person! Haha 😅, great to see him more often in your vids
2:20+ without thumbs around :D Magnus is the beast :D
Just imagine Pete walking up to one of these con men like "How much will you give me if I can do 15 seconds by my feet?"
Magnus did the bigger bar with the ball bearings, didn't wrap his thumbs around the bar, no chalk, and still hung for one minute and fifty six seconds. Magnus is by definition a "BEAST!"
one big difference is that magnus didnt use his thumbs
he chalked up though which isnt allowed most of the time
@@alexclark8442 Chalk doesn't matter for a spinning bar. Extra friction against the bar is irrelevant when it's the bar itself that twists out of the grip.
@@alexclark8442 it is always allowed
@@perwestermark8920 it prevents the sweat from making it harder.. come on
@@elijahjakobsen7898 Which matters if you have a thumb lock or a non-rotating bar. But without a thumb lock, it doesn't matter if the slip is the bar rotating or the sweat making the skin slip. Fit a ball bearing to an axis and it likes to rotate. Fit a larger ball bearing outside of a smaller, and you have two ball bearings that allows rotation - but outcome is the same.
So either you need a non-rotating bar or a thumb lock. The thumb lock depends on skin friction - so then chalk will matter.
This just proves the difference in people who climb and who don't
@Kane Lifts Nah there's tons of videos of climbers beating it on the internet. Definitely a training difference.
pro climbers anywahs
You guys come across very humble it's a pleasant change from all the big headed people.
This was weirdly mentally draining as I had to resist shouting at my monitor encouraging you both on in a pre-recorded video XD I'm sure if you re visit this when the world is back to normal and have a crowd, they'd be cheering you both on, which i'm sure would get a bit more endurance out of you.
Yeah it would definitely help
Next: put a piece of 3" PVC on the bar... that'll be similar to the "scam" style at the fair. They are HUGE bars.
What does that mean? Do they rig those or something?
Bigger diameter of bar is harder to hold on to
yap, it's ezy to do it with a slim bar
@@CR-nz7qn easier*
Not pvc pipe, slightly polished stainless steel. Then smear tiny bit of oil on it, don’t use any chalk.
Amazing to see their strength compared to others. I’ve seen a lot of videos doing the bar hang and no one ever gets near as close as them
Bigger hands looked like a huge help for this one!
Yup. Bigger hands means you can hook grip the bar, kinda like you'd do with deadlifts
bigger hands are almost always better for gripping stuff because of leverages
Finally, Magnus vs the rolling bar. Who shall prevail in this epic battle?
Magnus
🔥🔥🔥
I would love to see you try this again while watching something interesting like a movie. I wonder if not being focused on how long you’ve been hanging and not having someone counting off the seconds would make a difference. I know personally I can do things I don’t like doing much longer when I’m not thinking about how long I’ve been doing it. Probably different with this though, based on the amount of strength you guys are using.
Been waiting for this video 😅
I've just started doing some light calisthenics and 20 seconds feels like a nightmare, can't imagine two minutes
It's the rotatable bar that really adds that element of hard too!
7:09 SICK amount of respect brother!
Needs a revisit.
Since these are found at fairs, that means no warm up, no chalk, one hand is mildly wet because you just sat down a drink and the bar needs to be at least 2 inches in diameter.
2 inch PVC over a stationary pull up bar should suffice.
Also i dont think you can wrap your thumb over the fingers? Xd
I assume you also aren't allowed to use an over-under grip, because that would make it super easy
@@trevorbye6965 Both hands have to be on one side like the video said.
And the bar is on rollers and spins freely
@@scottphilips8514 They already have the spinning bar. It was just too thin.
I feel like Pete really did not want to do that last hang and Magnus was like: "f*** you! You're doing it for content!"
"I think a lot of people would like to see you try"
I love how much Pete is motivating Magnus each second Magnus, and then Magnus is like: good jobb, (1 min goes by) keep going hahaha
5 minutes later, Magnus, 'So, I hit 100s about 3 minutes ago.. I guess I can stop now.' -Hero-level Magnus
Pete is hilarious. If he was my headteacher and shouted at me I would still laugh
You guys are so good together in these vids ^.^ Please, keep on going, just love it =)
My dad did this 6 years ago but he was hanging for 2hours before my mom found him #victoryroyale
.... how could you.....
Your dad is a pro gamer, pog ggs
Absolute pot champ
Huh...
...dude. 😳
Its crazy how they go into front lever position to make it easier at the end 😂
Magnus going hardcore without thumbs the opposite way!!! EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE!!!
Your videos always make my hands and feet sweat, thanks a lot 😂
What? You know you have to chalk up before watching these?
I just love it when Magnus chalked up before he did the bat-hang. Twice
A larger diameter rod will keep people from locking with their thumbs.
I think you somehow woke me up when you uploaded lol, I have been summoned
