Boulderer vs Sport Climber! | Magnus Midtbø's 9c Strength Test

This week Tristan and Catie do Magnus Midtbo's 9c test to settle once and for all who is stronger! Battle ensues, along with a fair amount of smack talk as they measure their finger strength, pull-up power, core and endurance. Who will come out on top - boulderer or sport climber?

Test information:
If you need help calculating the weight you need to add here's an example:
To calculate 140% bodyweight for Catie (her weight is 53kg):
53KG X 1.4 = 74.2
74.2KG - 53KG = 21.2KG (weight added)
*round to the nearest decimal
A Short cut:
53KG X 0.4 = 21.2KG

Fun video Catie. I am a little similar to you in the pull up game... I have great finger strength but I struggle at pullups 🙃 Congrats on the 1K subs.

[@f8bouldering]

Thanks Shane! 😊 Yeah I was so surprised! I’m sure it’s an area where we could see improvement quite quickly though! Keen to get a bit burlier 💪
