[@AndersPantzar]

OMG! Thank you Michelle!!

[@danielkarlsson258]

I love that people can and will help eachothers.

[@AndersPantzar]

Me too!

[@thomaskroes4194]

This dude... I'm so impressed.. keep up the great work man, I love all your content. I'm looking forward to the next run and the next video. Cheers!

[@AndersPantzar]

Thank you! I love making these videos!

[@SNIFFMYBADGER]

I've been doing Spartan Beasts for the past few years, I think I want to give this a try, looks good fun!

[@charliekulkarni8864]

You are awesome!

[@wrenkler]

1 macka brooorr... Sjukaste staten från hela loppet :D härlig video!

[@AndersPantzar]

Haha, tack 😊

[@Tuttisk66]

Grymt Anders! Riktigt bra video redigering 👌

[@AndersPantzar]

Tack 😊

[@ThomasLerch]

Great job!!

[@AndersPantzar]

Thanks!

[@tricuspoid]

Snyggt!

[@watchmesometimes]

Have you been trying to grip onto ball in a way to have it's chain between middle and ring fingers?

[@AndersPantzar]

I think I tried both between the middle- and ring finger, and between the thumb and the index finger.

[@Zedja]

When it comes to the balls, you were trying to grip around the chain. I think the correct technique is to put the chain between your fingers. This is to center the grip on top rather than on the side where it's easy to slide off.

[@AndersPantzar]

I'll try that next time!

[@j5k]

Har du testat Tjurruset i Karlstad?

[@AndersPantzar]

Nej det har jag inte, men det låter spännande

[@mattiaskallsaby6514]

Snyggt Anders! Nått att försöka eftersträva själv! Bra med motivation att se att det gick så bra för dig!

[@thomashall1262]

I recommend going to a rock climbing gym to train grip strength rather than holding dumbbells/kettlebells. There's a lot of variations on how you should grip things that holding a bar won't help you with.

[@AndersPantzar]

A rock climbing gym would probably help a lot, good suggestion!

[@rdr571]

This looks like a nice run. Would love to try it out someday. Grab the balls with the pin between your index finger and middle finger. Also with these grips I don’t think the gloves help much. Awesome try though! And thanks for the video.

[@AndersPantzar]

Yeah, the gloves didn't help at all, I think I will run without gloves next time.

[@Bald_Zeus]

​@@AndersPantzarI've noticed the gloves are hit or miss. I really like them for the rope climb but not great for the technical grip obstacles

[@jDmP2137]

its crazy that this video is such high quality and still youtube thinks it is not worthy of recommendations. I think this video deserves at least 100K views

[@AndersPantzar]

Thank you! 😊 I put a lot of effort into it, but in the end it's all up to "The Algorithm".

[@jtemrik4965]

Good job! Next time you’ll beat the balls.

[@AndersPantzar]

Thank you! I'll do my best.

[@Emmelifall]

bra jobbat! mycket imponerande!

[@AndersPantzar]

Tack 😊

[@newkids8539]

Härligt, väldigt bra kämpat och snygg video!

[@AndersPantzar]

Tack 😊

[@TheLmfaodyl]

congrats. this makes me wanna try the tough viking some day

[@AndersPantzar]

You should! It's a fun challenge

[@MacChuck]

Very nice video! Good job on the race, and i hope you beat those balls next year:- D

[@flickyduvet5814]

Sorry men den på gärdet är 15km och tyvärr den längsta i sverige.

[@xHelloSushix]

the cannonballs, i put between pointing n middle finger, my gym mates some times do middle and ring finger. (i hold a kettlebell upside down to practice). other than that, maybe extra swing momentum would help? do u practice dead hangs too?

[@AndersPantzar]

Good suggestion. I think the main thing I did wrong was putting both hands on the same ball, essentially "locking" my hands under each other, and thus getting stuck. I should probably have swung to the next ball instead, alternating my hands.

[@xHelloSushix]

@@AndersPantzar when i first started, i would use both hands, single arms is hard because you have to lock off your upper back longer. you got this! i look forward to seeing you crush it! Europe has all the fun OCRs 🥲

[@leonsoderberg6094]

Very good video, might just have to try the race next year :)

[@maytemendoza7270]

Congratulations!!! You're impressive and since I started watching your videos I'll give it a try someday! 🎉🎉🎉 you really inspired me

[@AndersPantzar]

Thank you! 😊 I'm glad I can inspire

[@ilovecheesecakee]

This is incredible!!! I’m so impressed by your strength and perseverance!!! 💪 excited to see you conquer this challenge!!!

[@AndersPantzar]

Thank you! It was tougher than I thought it would be.

[@brianmcd9492]

Well done Anders You did Complete The Challenge, "Distance". I saw the First Grip Overhead "monkey" Challenge. A Person across from you a Lady "gripped the chain part" Not the "ring" or" ball".She made it across Super Fast.The Secret of the Grip-Hang Technique, grab the Chain 🙂👍Best of Luck

[@AndersPantzar]

Oh! Well spotted! Thanks 😊

[@Lucas-ur9xm]

The only issue with that is that it is against the rules and completely defeats the purpose of the obstacle 😅

[@Lucas-ur9xm]

But if you want to get better at the balls, get the metal screw between your index finger and middle finger.

[@pontusrosell843]

Jag har sprungit toughviking 5 ggr, kan rekomendera att sätta bollarna så kedjan hamnar emellan långfingret och ringfingret, samma sak när du tar ringarna så behöver du inte hålla med tummen som ett fast grepp, du kan göra en krok av fingrarna och bara "haka" fast dem, du är tillräkligt stark för alla hinder, bara en teknikfråga! Bra jobbat!

[@AndersPantzar]

Tack för tipsen! Ska prova det nästa gång 👍

[@sofiebjertoftandersson3633]

Ge gärna bra träningstips! Om du sprungit 5 ggr så finns det ju saker man kan tänka på!

[@pontusrosell843]

@@sofiebjertoftandersson3633 mitt bästa träningstips är att träna så det är kul att träna, jag är ingen superarlet, gymmar 3-4 ggr I veckan och löptränar på sommaren, men att vara konternuelig med träningen är viktigare än hur du tränar, kan absolut ge tips men aldrig tränat enbart för toughviking så kan tänka mig att det fins bättre folk för det:)

[@pinkflower3341]

are there penaltys on all obstacles?

[@AndersPantzar]

Yes. For this race you had to run 5 laps between two cones. Maybe 10-15 meters per lap. Not too bad, just time consuming.

[@pinkflower3341]

@@AndersPantzar planning to run it next year :D
