Climbing with #1 Arctic Elite force - Exclusive Access

[@robnichol5344]

The thing I like most about these Norwegian soldiers is their humility. They're supremely fit and adapted to the job, but when they see someone who has more advanced skills in a certain area, they don't pout, they're in awe and looking to learn. A great combination of physical fitness and good personality.

[@kevingeary1472]

Absolutely well said

[@Minister-Peter-V1-Church]

Non negotiable leadership skills. Celebrate those who out do you and learn from them. And give them room to out do you at what you excel at. Instead of being a toxic leader and shutting them down. Because your threatened, because your value is dependent on your performance and position. Something we teach in the church. That is highly aided by finding our value in what God says we are. Not humanity.

Hey Magnus, after being in a really rough place for the last few years, I turned to your videos and you inspired me to take up climbing! halfway through my introductory course and i'm loving it, even though the heights still give me sweaty palms & shaky legs. touching the top hold on a climb has given me more confidence then ever! Hope to send a route with you someday! thanks for introducing me to this amazing community/sport! (great video as always by the way, great fun to see the tables turned)

Dude sweet. After watching you fumble around in fatigues for what seems like forever, we finally get to see the special forces lads on the wall! I am genuinely excited to watch this video. Thanks MM!

[@NorwegianNationalist1]

They are actually not considered special forces :) But they are def up there when it comes to toughness

[@Nogarda_]

I love this in comparison to the previous video as it shows the difference in skillset training. previously Even was just a beast with the endurance/power feats. But the years of climbing, and build Magnus has is just shown off. One can argue the holds are easy (full grip) but it's that upper body able to pull itself up with confidence. I question if it even mattered Magnus was "low energy", so long as his hands and arms weren't burnt out, if he just ran a marathon and he had a bed food and whatever he desired up at the top he'd climb it.

[@pohkuangda6662]

His arms are like tree trunks 0_0

[@barthoving2053]

Was jokingly thinking he just did the no legs challenge because his legs were tired. But really for him pulling himself up with his arms seems almost the same effort as standing up/walking a stair for a normal person.

[@rbnhd]

Evan: *Goes on 35-hour trek that destroys Magnus* My legs are a bit sore. The internet: Wow, fat. …

[@gavsterdb]

Shocking

[@CoffeeFiend1]

Shows how easily people are fooled by clothing, so many bodybuilders can look fat with baggy clothes that hang in the right bits or overlap on the thinnest bits of limbs etc. You can also have some 'Strongmen' that are close to 20% bodyfat, they look a bit pork, then soon as they tense under load you magically see a deep canyon ridged 6-pack push through because underneath theyre really fucking muscled. Perhaps the worst one for average guys is t-shirt arms that extend and end around the elbows or just above, it's the thin bit and can make you look like an absolute beanpole but just a few inches up it would be hugging snuggly round a bicep :'(

[@CrimsonDrake-sl3qf]

😂

[@Bogdanisar]

My understanding is that Even was called fat (jokingly) by his mates in the squadron (and Jorgen, the other guy in the video, in particular) while they were filming the first video, not by Internet anons. It doesn't even make sense for it to somehow have been done by Internet users since Magnus filmed the whole set of videos in 3 days so there wouldn't be enough time to: 1) Do the first challenges in the first 2 days; 2) Edit and upload the videos in the second day; 3) See what people are commenting; 4) Do the challenge in the 3rd day and talk about users calling Even "fat".

[@peteratherton1792]

[@YanBrassard]

I think that the difference between an elite force soldier and a sport professional can be summed up in two things : 1. Resilience (mental capacity to handle high pressure challenges without breaking down) 2. Versatility (capacity to maintain high level performances in a variety of different physical tests as opposed to being very good in one test but bad in the others) As he said, he is not the best in all of those tests, but he remains very competitive which is what makes all the difference. These guys are pure machine! Magnus is a very impressive athlete and I thought that he would be fit to be in a special force. Although he had great performances and he is obviously disproportionately more skillful in a specific exercice (I'm sure you guessed which one!), we can see a difference in ability between him and the other guy (forgot his name) when you do an average across all challenges.
