“Fun fact I have the crawling world record” 😂

[@jamesfleming5422]

Lmao, Magnus looks absolutely absurd in that video

[@Efretpkk]

Looking at 21:38 it seems to hold true!

[@Retcon__]

Oh you too?? 😂

[@dave_h_8742]

Magnus trained long and hard 😂 for that world record, deserves to drop the brag 😉🤥

[@Narcan885]

​@@dave_h_8742 The crazy part is, he didn't even! All the time he broke or come close to break records, he never really trained specifically for that! It's so frustrating at times, if he focused on each of those exercises for some days he could break much more records, he has so much potential and a crazy power/bodyweight amount

[@23mrpetter]

Marius Dreyer was our "sports officer" when I was in the Airforce 5 years ago. We weren't exactly the elite forces, but having him as a coach in everything from skiing to obstacle courses was a great experience. He is just so humble and motivating, even though we were the lowest rank in the military we played ping pong and watched football games with him after work. Amazing to see how he's still going strong

[@Markus9604]

Just finished my military service in the air force and he was still working as the sports officer!

macho is for people without self respect or confidence

[@howie3750]

Norway am I right?

[@Pedram_Aphotic]

yeah you like that you softpuss dont you? xD think of it this way: if there would be no "macho bs" ever as you call it then there would be no real power seeking competition & the world records will have no meaning & everyone will be winners, more like tournys will become a big tea party. males are created & ruled by testosterone so its natural to be macho. its healthy to a good amount even. if not pretending. but well we are watching modern norse folks so... yeah go figure ;}

[@norwaydude]

That whole macho attitude is really not the scandinavian way. Bros lift eachother up. We dont push eachother down so we can seem taller ourselves.

Sadly my thighs are fat not strong :(

I've done the course as a team in the Finnish Defense Forces, it was brutal mostly because im not in that good of a shape but it was fun as hell!

Tough on everything. If you misplace your foot on those balance runs or the beam .. ankle.

magnus is genuinely one of the coolest, nicest dudes. always supportive no matter who he is talking to, so level headed and genuine all the time, always askes the most thoughtful questions when trying something new, calm and collected in everything he does. magnus, you're inspiring and will always be a fan. Thank you!

[@ericastier1646]

well said, that should be his goal in life to pass this to as many people as possible. Because few people have this.

[@Joe-mm4lb]

Would love to see Anton Fomenko do this course, great vid Magnus :D

[@njsfer]

I don't know how fast of a runner he is but Magnus is pretty fast for a non-runner. 500m might not seem much but any guy that doesn't have some endurance will lose a lot of time because he will run out of breath.

[@Nogarda_]

2:42 Is a moment Magnus needs to remember, his face goes from military deadpan to 'I can't believe this, this is insane.'

[@wenli7581]

Props to Marius for completing the course twice and crushing the military requirement both times

[@dangriff12]

I think Magnus would've kept up in the second half if he could fall off things faster. The climbing has made him more adverse to falling 😂

[@youretotallyrightbut463]

It’s weird because of all the bouldering he’s used to dropping down. He should feel comfortable with it. Guess the idea of gravel and no pad makes it more intimidating and you have to get used to it.....but before it started I wouldn’t have suspected Magnus’ biggest time leak would be dropping down

[@ThatLaggyNoob]

​@@youretotallyrightbut463 It's the boulderer's instinct to downclimb a bit to save the knees.

[@goatbloat8233]

These videos are fun. Ignore people who say you should only climb. I actually want you to train a few of these sorts of things and do a 2 month followup. Andreas too (and of course Marta). Many of these videos tease us with your fitness potential but it is always an "exhibition" one-off. Weirdly, I am always most amazed at how fast you run. I am a bit staggered that you do not run and can run at those paces.

[@gabrielpauna62]

agree , helps us see the benefits of climbing fitness , plus most fitness people are all round athletes so should be interested

[@andrewmadden215]

Awesome video, it's always cool to see you try out all these different things that test the body out in so many different ways. I'm feeling pretty pumped after watching that, so I'm going to try to bring a little bit of your hustle into my workout today.

[@scrawlerz]

Magnus, this is really cool! As a military guy myself that just got into climbing, love that you're having fun with the Norwegian army!

I actually standed up and clapped at Magnus proudly when he for the first and only time reached and even gained some distance over him. It was like "now I'm going full crawler mode" and it was a testament to all the work and time he spent working on it, he beat the Pro on that obstacle, on his own course, taking the lead for a few good seconds, that should've felt amazing, and that's huge

[@dkitt-1]

Watching these videos always reminds me that Magnus is a world class athlete. Kudos as well to Andreas who showed he's no slouch either.

[@samanthapateman8054]

I feel like having a civilian to run against was probably motivating as he definitely didn’t want to lose. Plus having good people to train with pushes you more.

Hi Magnus, I am an active person but not a climber. Watching you climb is amazing. It's been real help during lockdown to see someone 'free' and at one with the sport they love. Great to see this and the other challenges and gym tests but I have just watched your Teneriffe 'cave climbs' from 2019! To date I had considered you as a pure sports/indoor comp climber (and nothing wring with that) but this was something else. That final ascent with the overhand! Wowsers, amazing. Keep well. Win x
