challenging body builders at Muscle Beach to lift a Rolling Thunder

[@Woozah337]

I want to see the grip strength challenge somewhere like a farmers market or something with normal blue collar manual laborers. Maybe a construction site? Id be very curious to see the results.

[@MNhvacPRO]

I am a fitter. I want to buy the holds just to see what will happen at the hall. I know a dude that could probably push 200 maybe 220

[@AirGuitar]

This is a great idea. Construction site would be perfect.

[@oninja1919]

Sheet metal workers would be interesting

[@spyder2001]

Great idea. It reminds me of the video Magnus has done 'Pro Arm Wrestler challenges people in public' there was a furniture delivery guy that was unbeatable and he'd never done proper arm wrestling before. Construction site labourers, farm hands, brick layers, removals people etc. working all muscle groups 8-12h per day...

[@noneyabizz8337]

Very insightful of you

[@maister119]

That guy bragging about how strong he was and leaving with 20 bucks without even trying with more weight just made my day 😂

[@cal3033]

bruh for real

[@robbiepoohify]

Dude just hustles KZbinrs for fast cash

[@mjmoutdoors237]

Typical LA

[@althejazzman]

and then later in the background he was shouting "just give him the 40 bucks" and trying to bend the rules.

[@killlr0y]

​@@althejazzmanwhat fuckking guy are you guys even talking about

[@savageblackfish5117]

I love how many people were like "I need 20$ bro" lol thanks Magnus for feeding these starving athletes

[@tonydaddario4706]

Yeah but folks were cottoning on for an easy $20 so he had remove that challenge.

He can't. That's well above what he can do

[@jnano2071]

Nothing beats the juji, Devon and Anton era for me

When he said "Average..." I was like ´no way Magnus collabs with a valorant streamer´ lmao so random

[@RD-js3uo]

Cant stand him but I appreciate Magnus so ill watch.

[@-zombiy]

@@naivet they are freinds, jonas used to rock climb

[@kevwoos]

So weird being a fan of magnus for years and also being a avid valorant player to see jonas just show up in these videos lmao i love it

[@OriginalPuro]

A whatplayer? That wannabe CS game with cell-shader mixed with ARTS elements? Ugh.

[@kevwoos]

@@OriginalPuro I understand not being a fan of the art style (I wasn’t at first) but its still a great idea of taking a competitive tactical shooter and adding character abilities. They’ve done a really good job of making it balanced and a actual good game.

[@anaysodha1778]

you’re telling me that this man just argued “my opinion is correct and nobody else’s opinions matter” with reasoning? you don’t have to give a reason. valorant is both awful and amazing simultaneously because those words are completely subjective. the only way we can come close to a subjective conclusion on whether valorant is good or bad would be with an average of how people perceive it and i can’t be bothered to research that but i’m assuming it’s quite positive. so basically, you’re both wrong and you’re both right but you should also both shut up

[@r0cksyy-]

@@OriginalPuro so mad for what lmao

[@mikir1741]

​@@OriginalPuro um valorant more ppl playing, watching competitive and boosting costs 1000e+ while csgo 100 from lowest to elite n filled with cheaters?

[@Ramonaew]

Hi Magnus love your videos so much, your my favourite youtuber, would love to see you climbing more routes and would really enjoy vlog style videos or a life update.

[@boogaloo4640]

I'd love that too. It would be interesting to see how an 'old school' vlog style climbing video would fare with the huge audience he has now

[@SloppyGamerMan]

I third this.

[@ericvortecmax]

When that last guy failed at 190 magnus should have just casually lifted it.

[@lukeytron]

I got so into this. When their fingers slipped, I flinched. Editing was on point in this video

[@johndeaux8815]

If that guy at 9:00 went to the gym shop and bought a rolling thunder after that heartbreaking failed attempt, I fear how powerful he may become.

[@iconoclastvii]

Definitely an anime villain origin story 🤣

[@hanswoast7]

4:52 The "bing" is a bonus point for asking for chalk. It has nothing to do with the kid on the bike. It's a natural sound from Magnus :)

[@ptckclmn7882]

Magnus I absolutely live your videos and I think it would be good if you make more videos on outdoor bouldering. Just an idea, love ur videos.

[@isaaccross8745]

Nate (Thor) seemed really cool. His website has a ton of healthy food recipes. Would love for you to track him down and do an episode climbing with him and then a second episode cooking and trying his recipes!

[@kebbs56]

Just wanna say massive thanks. Because of your channel I went bouldering yesterday for the first time and loved it. Can't wait to recover so I can go again.

[@DJSideQxst]

I love Jennifer stepping in to hold the sign lol

[@rohitkumarlal3401]

dude i never expected Jonas to be here i just started following him and he is here

[@loganwassill7003]

This is a lovely video, I love the energy! Magnus is good host, not too overbearing and always humble. Thank you always

[@futcoin]

that big guy at 2 minutes got humbled real fast

[@dkitt-1]

Good to have you back Magnus and looking happy.

[@koalasaw]

Magnus!! I saw you at my gym yesterday. I didnt want to bother you but seeing you really invigorated my climbing spirit lol. I hope you’re having a good time in LA.. go for a hike in the santa monicas!!!

[@Rotem_climbing]

Already know this is going to be a banger

[@galaxy_brain]

Wow, this was the best Venice challenge yet!! So many fans, and the tiered rewards seemed to really draw in positive attitudes!

[@vicarrighi]

We love you and your content Magnus, you look like u're enjoying these types of videos so keep doing whatever you want, as long as you're having fun, we also are. 👊🏻👊🏻

[@InterwovenElements]

"You have three girlfriends?" I'm dying over here! xD

[@adamlong5295]

loving the content recently Magnus, climbing and not! Hope you're doing well and that you're happy!

[@omgurheadsgone]

Everybody should support the homie that looked like Thor at the ends brand haha! He tried so hard and was got so Damn close. I think the brand was “getnates” if I heard it right

[@Mark-fd3mg]

I love how encouraging everyone is. Magnus is not being competitive about it.

[@enexified]

love the editing on this video - how it transitions to nice wide shots or random close ups of things like a doggo with the music overlay :)

[@AgainstTheCurrent859]

New magnus video, gonna be a good day.

[@flipwaterr4844]

This is one of the craziest colabs yet lol. I never thought I’d ever see average Jonas!

[@trongy031]

I really love the content of your videos, I'm not sure, but I think i've watched almost all of your videos. To be honest, i'm kinda missing videos related with climbing. All this colaborations and challenges are really great and funny, but I would personaly like to see again more climbing videos! Wish you good luck and keep a good work!

[@antonp5357]

Man g n' us. You are a RockStar . Thank you for your effort😊

[@domzell]

never thought Id see AverageJonas and Magnus together... but at the same times makes so much sense

[@xXPinkPunisherXx]

Magnus you should do another video or two with Anton doing these cash challenges at construction sites/near them. He could probably help find you some plus I bet the tradesmen would have great results! Some of those guys are crazy strong and Anton has done some similar challenge type videos with construction themes in the past!

[@Likefood267]

all of magnus' videos are so good, i immediately upvote them before watching lol

I love you Magnus!

Hi Magnus and Chat 👋👋. I wanna thank you for all of your work and commitment to your channel and hard work what you are giving into that. You are huge motivating person for everyone and you deserve all respect at this world. I learned from you a lot and I am not even following you for long time. Probably as many of us 🙈🙉🙊 (MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAID “LIFE IS LIKE BOX OF THE CHOCOLATES, NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU GONNA GET😂😂). Have a wonderful time and PLEASE 🙏 just keep going. My big thanks is also to your chat. Kind answers for questions what I would normally have in comments are so helpful. Karel

[@eniopopov7201]

Would really love to see more outdoor climbing videos again, especially big wall. Why not El Cap! :) Greetings from Bulgaria!

[@th1mer581]

averagejonas and magnus in the same video, god damn!

[@zGJungle]

Please do some grip challenges in the UK and tell me where and when, I have been wanting to test my grip for ages, at work I can lift stuff that a lot of bigger dudes can't due to my hands being strong. Also I think you should start training for Armwrestling, you already shown your power translates to AW, you already have the power and tendons for it, few years training and you could be very good in your weight class and it's a pretty easy way of getting good views as AW is on the rise big time.

[@KeyTrainin]

Watching this makes me really want to improve my grip strength! I’d be happy so take the 20!

[@kapu3746]

I was holding my breath for thor

[@last_details]

Today I learnt: don’t go to the gym if you want to be strong.

[@rigos3851]

As a fan of both Jonas and Magnus, I can say this collab was very unexpected :Dd

[@910dowii2]

that was the most unexpected plot twist with Jonas joining but it kinda makes sense after thinking about it

[@littlelitty8788]

What the actual? I just randomly see Jonas???? My brain can't function anymore, please help. I love you both so much! Keep it up!

[@bradleeclouthier4740]

The double hand lift at the end from Thor on the realization of "this is bullshit, its easy, but I can't" type attitude haha. Made me laugh

[@LivingTheDream21]

I found myself holding my breath every time they started doing the heavy weights 💪

[@mikaeljacobsson1437]

When strength training, grip strength has always been the most important to me when it comes to arms. Without that the rest really dont matter. Core strength, grip strength, then the rest.

[@qcom1008]

you should try going to a climbing gym with the same challenge!

[@rayclark9643]

Rolling Thunder Challenges siempre son divertido !

[@copycatlyn]

"you didn't do 140, i dont know why you're trying" HAHAHA

[@Grejegando]

Ok, to those of you watching this and wondering why all those muscular guys unable to do it, here's why: The trick is in the grip itself. This is not just a weight lifting challenge, it is primarily a wrist muscle test. The black grip on that thing has a wide diameter and you're only allowed to grab that, not any of the metal parts. As soon as you grip it you'll notice that you are unable to bring your fingers together just as you would grip a dumbbell for example. This makes it extremely slippery (hence the use of chalk) as well as the major advantage a person with big hands would have over another with small hands. This is why he always emphasizes the height element because usually height goes hand in hand with bigger feet and bigger hands. So before you start flexing your muscles understand that this challenge has to do with bone structure more than with training or workout. I'm sure most guys you saw in this clip are capable of lifting the maximum weight if only they could get a good grip to do it.

[@nwabufoigweze7731]

sick video 🔥🔥🔥

[@AndyKua]

Pro climber pretends to be a beginner was the first video I ever watched. It took a few more videos before I became interested in climbing. I then went back to the beginning to watch the old content before being fully caught up. For months, I've been asking myself, what ever happened to normal girl? I finally found her instagram and concluded that she's still there. I'll finally be able to relax while watching the new vids.

[@zushiz4799]

I'd be really excited to see a rock climbing video with you and Etienne Waite. SInce he has such strong forearm and biceps I'm sure he would be interesting to watch 👀

[@iyziejane]

It would be cool to bring a grip strength measuring device to these kind of challenges, just so we can compare each person's grip strength vs their maximum lift.
