Impossible Rope Climb Challenge

[@jademan132]

Random but i feel David is the real ninja warrior here. Not based on strength but on his creativity and versatility to find the best techniques that work for him

[@JosuaKrause]

tbf he has a lot of experience squeezing thick ropes

[@thomasbecker9676]

Old man strength and wiliness.

[@ninjaempire9093]

Strength too

[@NinjaGodfather]

Hey thank you! I have to say every single person in this video constantly impresses me by doing things a cannot do, no joke!🙌

[@neaituppi7306]

People almost always make age seem like it is a big factor in how well someone can do. But it really doesn't matter, if you are in shape, trained, conditioned, and you are healthy, and take care of your body. I am 56 and can do this stuff more so then when I was 25, because I have trained and improved. If your body regresses with age, you are not really taking care of it. Or there is something going on you are not aware of. But it isn't simply aging. Your body is designed to heal itself, not just age and become less capable. When I was 45, I went and checked out an MMA gym, and the owner/trainer/mma fighter said he was surprised someone "my age" was in that shape. But that is just a a social idea that gets passed around society.

[@NinjaGodfather]

I think if you don't make it a priority life happens and all of a sudden you haven't exercised regularly in 20years or more, it's hard to not let that happen as an adult. That being said when I was 18 I felt superhuman, I gotta be honest 😉 ...though on the other hand in something like rock climbing that takes technique I'm way batter than my younger self!

[@SillyMooseMedia]

I had David's "old man beta" in mind from the very beginning, so it was extremely satisfying to see him do it at the end.

[@NinjaGodfather]

Yeah, seems obvious right? 😆

[@roflbotten4815]

So stoked you got James on this! He's been one of my favourites since I started watching the show back in season 3 and I'm happy to see he's still a BEAST🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DanteYewToob]

“Something that looks so easy and simple…” Uhh.. wut? My first instinct was that it’s not even possible! Anton, you’re an absolute freak of nature if you see something that seems physically impossible and think “Yeh… I can do that. Easy.” Hahahah What the hell… you’re just built different, my guy. Made strong in the motherland.

[@mrnicomedes]

David's "weak old man beta" was the _best_ tech!

[@NinjaGodfather]

Haha, thanks 🤪

[@catmage]

This is an interesting obstacle! I feel like the optimal approach would change for each athlete, which would make it fun to watch in competition

[@Pedigru]

Thanks to all the guys who help with these challenges. You bring a lot of joy into our non-athletic lives!

[@susanjane4784]

I love these sorts of challenges with different specialists and opportunities to make their attempts based on their individual strengths.

[@longleaf0]

David is making the older people amongst us look bad! Fantastic effort :D

[@TheMurderBird]

Not sure how long you've been doing 2160p but it looks great, not a lot of youtubers upload that high thanks for the quality video

[@AntonFomenko]

Hey! I believe over a year for sure! Thanks a lot!💪😎

[@FIREGOD333]

6:00 lmfao david really said that with a straight face 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NinjaGodfather]

🤷

[@nymalous3428]

Man, it's been years since I watched ANW, but I do remember David. For the record, I haven't climbed a rope since... the early '90s... but I would love to try that.

[@seansnyder2855]

If you joined the ends of the ropes together to make a loop, it'd probably work out as a legitimate ninja warrior obstacle. With just a loose rope it wouldn't be good for production to have to replace it each time. Making a loop might make the challenge slightly easier though.

[@joseville]

That's a good idea, but could be dangerous if the loop hooks the athlete on the jump down.

[@mids9001]

@@joseville If the rope touches the ground that won't be an issue. the loop is just to make it easy to reset.

[@NinjaGodfather]

New stage 4 🤪

[@joseville]

@@mids9001 Good point. That's probably safer than of the loop doesn't touch the ground, but could still be an awkward landing if not landing on completely flat ground. Say you're going for landing on your feet, but land partially on the rope - would be easier to twist an ankle that way.

[@lelandsprenger9491]

Love your videos Anton, if I ever miss one I blame my adhd and I'll get around to watch all of them and leaving likes and comments eventually. Also idk if it's just me or does milo look like the fake MR BEAST?

[@emejulagaa9074]

Great to see "The god father" and "The beast" in your video 🤩👏

IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE "I rate it 5.5/10"

[@gameeverything816]

Wow that looked brutal! I didn't think anyone was going to be able to do it! I liked the technique at the end there with his feet lol

[@MongooseBruce12]

5 years from now, we are probably going to see a video of Anton proposing an experiment with his friends/peers doing this same experiment but with channel lock pliers. Much love you guys!

[@vampy5071]

"Measuring Body Parts" "Line Up The Tips" Ayoooo

[@TheRealStructurer]

Nice to see some (for me) new faces. Good spirits as usual 👍🏻 Tough challenge. Should practice on it and see how it progress over some months with strength and new techniques.

[@kungfu3299]

That last attempt was awesome =))))) physics 100/100

[@NinjaGodfather]

Thank you 😉

[@TheS4ndm4n]

I like how you just put "baseball" for Milo's background.

[@outandabout259]

For the first few seconds I thought Anton was wearing a super thick bathrobe or something like that :D

[@josefanon8504]

same lmao

[@mike-stpr]

Шикарно! Последний способ -- первое о чем я подумал, когда увидел эту задачу! :-) Но его можно модифицировать, если первым дело закинуть ноги наверх (т.е. сделать стойку на руках как на кольцах). Возможно таким образом получится еще ускорить восхождение! :-) Кстати, почему бы тебе не завести аккаунт на Бусти? Было бы приятно многим, уверен! СПАСИБО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Hey Anton, it would be really cool if you could include the ages of the people you introduce. Give us an idea of what is still possible as we age :)

[@globesurfer122]

I mean David is the best and the oldest at 45 so...

[@NinjaGodfather]

@@globesurfer122 😆

[@NinjaGodfather]

Milo I think just turned 18, James is around 36, I'm gonna GUESS Conner is early 20's, Anton must be about 30 or so now??

This looks so difficult. Respect!

Salmon ladder with rope: 🎶 hell to the naw naw naw, hell naaw 🎶

[@smashallpots1428]

hell yeah david had the same idea that i had at the end there

[@NinjaGodfather]

👍

[@Tortu16]

I was surprised nobody used what David called "old weak man beta" before. I guess I'm old and weak xD

[@jantate6006]

I'm thinking invert , wrap a leg into each side of the rope with the tail ends of the ropes under each armpit.... Maybe 🤔

[@Dirk_Berserk]

i think that backflip to catch the rope is a good way to get injured, especially if it is so late

[@NinjaGodfather]

It wasn't as bad as it looked, the rope was loose, so he was just pulling down, and there was a thick pad to land on

[@william6650]

Wouw something impossible can be done ❤😂

[@schneeliks]

i am always interested in how magnus would do on something like this

[@Miles26545]

He always does well

[@lettersnstuff]

he’d do it one handed because he’s insane

[@Ruler0fWorlds]

Wonder how Jonathan Brown would do on this, as well.

[@NinjaGodfather]

I'm sure Magnus would crush it!

[@durabelle]

That's what I was thinking too, need to see Magnus on this challenge!

[@godofdream9112]

Really good video.

[@TuranZeynalliArmWrestling]

Very very interesting. I’ll definitely give it a try. Хороший видос 💪

[@AntonFomenko]

Спасибо!💪🔥

[@pkewoks6508]

You should try puting the rope over a round bar instead of a square bar to make it even more of a challange.

[@edmundy3952]

Yay!

[@Miles26545]

Can you do a video about nutrition and what you eat? Thanks!

[@danielbogan4207]

Davids so cool

[@martinteece8983]

There was no rule about rotate round spot say 3 times to di d the highest point onto the bar at top wounder if it would be the strat.

[@nixonkutz3018]

Yeah as they get close to the top and there's more weight of the rope below, the twisting is reduced

[@KelvinClimber]

when your playing around with ropes like this, if you would want to make this allot harder use a climbing rope you belay climbers with, cause allot smaller will be allot harder to even make moves in, that's unless you twist the rope around your hand than if your strong enough you can even do a one arm pullup in it, but also progressing up the rope would be harder to, anyways always nice to see the creative challanges you come up with anton

[@durabelle]

Grabbing both ends at once would be a lot easier on a thinner rope though.

[@KelvinClimber]

@@durabelle that's correct and make it easier to get up the rope on a smaller rope but as long as your just using both it's harder

[@tyhiggz38]

[@stevethea5250]

4:10,

[@PLitvinov]

If you think - there is an easy way)))

[@RobeonMew]

It's not N/A. It's DNF

[@RobeonMew]

When scoreboard shows N/A it means they didn't even attempt slash hasn't shown up. DNF is simply Did Not Finish.

[@RobeonMew]

it's a casual video, so we understand. this is protip for future vids. Aside a written technicality, this video was dope. a 7/10

[@Therealmrmeow]

interesting the technique at the end by holding one side with your feet and essentially pulling yourself up. I'm guessing the same could be done by holding one side with one hand and "milking" the other side with the other hand. essentially a one armed version of "milking the rope". You could compete to see which arm is quicker.

[@KhalmurzaevR]

Btw, seeing videos with rope climbing I found that nobody uses legs lock like crossfit athletes. It is useless for this challenge but could be used for a long climb. I wish Anton to have colab with crossfit athlete in crossfit box. It would be interesting since there are many gymnastics movements where Anton is very strong

[@LatimusChadimus]

Anton actually pulls up. He doesn't "chest to bar." What people in CrossFit utilize, like you were talking about with the feet, is for the sake of speed, even if it is a piss-poor excuse of a movement considered some sort of exercise. CrossFit is fun to watch but they need to continuously improve naming their movements because some of the names do not match the half-assed movement patterns they perform, again because they are doing it for speed (not quality)

[@thomasbecker9676]

Yeah, they also don't kip like crossfitters when they do pull-ups either. Also, I'm sure these guys know all about how to climb a rope efficiently. Case in point, Anton has several rope-climbing-specific videos on this channel. Let's not bring in the clown college that is crossfit to this channel.

[@thomasbecker9676]

@@LatimusChadimus So many "crossfit exercises" cheat the intended movement or are just plain dangerous.

[@KhalmurzaevR]

@@thomasbecker9676 Anton is great athlete. Different sports have different goals and technic. Let's not compare sports but extend the skillet that Anton did many times with Magnus, Jujo

[@KhalmurzaevR]
