The best bromance ever to be created ON youtube. I would watch them under the title "Anton and Magnus test each other by going to the park to feed ducks". Also because we know Anton soon will tie up a balance-line between two trees, and Magnus will find a boulder or crag or tree in the park, just to make the whole duck-feeding idea a bit more challenging for each other.

[@jumpguyty]

For your tendinitis if you plan on climbing through it, best to avoid powerful, higher velocity movements. Tendinitis rehab is progressive velocity over time (in a relatively pain free setting). Do slower more controlled movements and it should calm down eventually! It’s when you do explosive movements that it will flare up! Keep up the great work 👊🏻 Let ya know if you need any help. #teamppa

[@Mr-Clean]

Oh shit, I'm a new climber and I've been binge watching your videos and it's so weird seeing you at the gym I've been climbing at. I haven't finished the video yet but hopefully you liked it

I actually watched a lot of videos with Anton. He seems like a best friend everybody would love to have. Always honest, always reasonable, always calm, always says "yes let's do it" if he talk it feels like you can trust him all the way. also if he is joking, he sounds very polite.

[@rj5249]

For anyone wondering how to stop tendonitis. It is a recovery game. You simply have to stop climbing and let it heal and ACTIVELY recover. At the end of the day, tendonitis is INFLAMMATION of the tendon. Depending on what part of your arm/elbow hurts, a good practice is to perform slow, eccentric movements with the triceps OR biceps. Short term pain relief can consist of be anti inflammatory such as Ibuprofen, or ice packs. However, the thing with tendonitis is to simply know when you are overloading or just training. Make sure to rest up, happy climbing!

[@keving9655]

Piggybacking on your comment. These are great treatments. Your muscles all work in pairs, and if you are climbing a lot, you are only working the pulling set. Aside from mantles, rarely do we push in climbing. I have found the tendinitis is greatly put at bay when I take the time to work the pushing muscles. Unfortunately this means I am not climbing, but the time you take away to keep your muscles working in even pairs, for me, rewards me with no tendon pain. I think the uneven strain on the joints from much stronger pull than push is what makes tendinitis so prevalent in climbers. He has mentioned this before; he will train chest and do flies and such, but I think it is still worth mentioning here.

[@itskchanny2656]

I just realized that Magnus’ accent is so clear. His English is very good. Edit: His friend is also really good.

[@bakicci]

[@Vespira21]

Actually, Magnus is like this old legendary hero, travelling in all areas and walking into every taverns he comes across to have a drink or some rest. But instead of taverns, it's boulder/climbing gyms :D

question at 6:30 : Magnus is being honest here, I like it !the look down/left look then up/left look often means he was assembling the puzzle pieces first (like when u repeat the question to yourself), then thought about memories to compare (the look/up left is considered as image remindering process reflect)

One thing I did to get rid of my tendonitis was slow negatives on pullups pretty much every day.
