First time Magnus can not brute force his way through the challenges

[@00Human0]

ikr lol

[@dutchdykefinger]

to be fair, his timing wasn't half bad :D

[@gammalight6908]

he is kinda brute force them hahaha, most gymnast use momentum and flexibility to do most of their routine, but he brute force them

[@johannsmith5697]

Haha yss atleast half he brute force them ​@gammalight6908

[@indrekpart277]

He would have performed 2x better in every excercise by controlling and locking in his legs. They play active part too in stuff like that.

[@bantcliff]

If you haven't done it, you need to take him climbing, would be interesting to know how a clearly strong and agile gymnast does on rocks/boulders

[@boogaloo4640]

There re some videos from around 3 years ago of Odin climbing with Magnus

[@specialisedheavy9932]

wanted to say this too, this guy would be a beast on dynos

[@Mvtrixx]

Yeah he's already done it a while back, the last time they collabbed which was also when magnus did the iron cross for the first time

[@pcenero]

I read this wrong and thought it was an ironic joke about how "strong and agile gymnast" Magnus Midtbø should take up rock climbing lol.

Beaten by the backflip before starting... Man can conquer some of the craziest boulders and highest heights, but he's beaten by his own brain! Poetic, but you're only lamenting how much we want to see it happen Magnus x

Backflips can be such a mental block for some people

[@durabelle]

He could do a collab with Nile Wilson and his gang, they've taught a backflip to multiple guests already. And they teach it in a safe way too!

nah thats not a basic move for a climber. im like 5 years in 7a climber and i would struggle with it

[@MrMeasaftw]

​@@Fred-oz3tw almost exact same grade and time here. 5 years a 7a. And for me a pistol squat like this would be very easy. It might depend on the style of climber I think. I have long legs and good explosive strength. But I lack balance and hip mobility.

[@MTBChuckQC]

@@Fred-oz3tw I barely started climbing this year but I rapidly figure out that lifting your weight with a single leg is like a must have move to solve many problems in v2-v4 Ive done.

[@NewHeights2023]

I love seeing magnus try sports that he doesn't have much experience in from time to time. I think it's a great way to see how climbing complements other sports!

[@theoutsider6191]

Love these videos where you are trying different things outside your wheelhouse. It shows the level of strength and condition you have, but also demonstrates how amazing other people in different disciplines are, the pommel horse example being a classic, looks like it may be easier than it is, even if you are very strong to begin with 🙂

[@MiguelClimbs]

Brilliant vid. Really puts into perspective the strength and skill of professional gymnasts.

[@brianadrian2857]

Odin out here with the perfect English, and coaching skills 😮‍💨👊🏽

[@liamengram6326]

My wife was a D1 gymnast. She still does college judging as a hobby (and knowing how the scoring system has made me much more interested in the sport). Like a Bulldog that ate string, I shit you knot...as a life time snowboarder and kayaker, 3 sport athlete in high school, D1 athlete, etc... Gymnastics is absolutely insane when it comes to body control and awareness. I tried to do a balance beam routine my wife used to do in college after several months training and I lost a good 2.3 points off the difficulty arrangement.

[@kusholh7095]

Magnus is such a natural. Odin barely gave him any coaching or spotting and Magnus made very quick progress on a lot of these. If he did a collab with Nile Wilson he progress so quick!

[@boulevardiere1623]

Great to see Odin back and getting to show some gymnastics!

[@FiniteEntity]

Gymnasts are freaky. All the things they train that test so many aspects: strength, both static (especially core, holy smokes) and explosive, flexibility, balance, control in the air. It's like the ultimate expression of human mobility I guess.

[@MonkeyMan815]

5:50 that is exactly what he looked like 😂😂

[@titaneumtypo4333]

Magnus you should do a collab with Ian Gunther where you try gymnastics with him and then take him climbing

Hey Magnus, I've been an avid viewer of your channel for a long time now. I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me and my daughter (Age 4) to start climbing over the past couple of years and she is getting really good. Whenever we put her to bed and she is not tired she comes downstairs and says can we watch climbing videos and asks to watch 'Magnus'. I am more than happy to put her on my knee and watch a video with her before shipping her back upstairs. (She also goes gymnastics and loved this one - she laughed a lot at you falling at the end). Thanks for the content man and know you are reaching a lot of people with your energy.

[@sofiakamalyan4411]

Odin is baaaack😍😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉

[@adrak]

This was an enjoyable watch seeing Magnus setup for something he couldn't just muscle through but had the physicality to execute once taught proper techniques. "I'm not doing a backflip." while having ptsd flashbacks to those sessions with Juji was perfect, need more Juji collabs. That should be your 3 million sub special, Magnus finally learns to backflip. *always sunny intro music*

[@rtess7837]

Magnus, you are my biggest inspiration

[@quinnthompson]

Would be cool to see Magnus try improving on a couple of these and getting into the technical parts more.

[@Filip-z3s]

Loved the old videos with Odin. Hopin for more gymnastics videos.

[@tomaddinb9327]

A roundoff (even though a basic skill in gymnastics) is actually really hard because you're rotation around all three body axes at the same time (compared to only one axis for a front- or backflip). So it's understandable that it was so difficult. Oh and the iron cross is actually only a B element (hold 2 seconds) unless you do it in a V-Sit position, then it's C.

[@nicholeli9612]

I swear it used to be a C tho? Did they change it?

[@RachelMarieGymnastics]

My 2 favorite sports in one video! Excited about this one 🎉

[@xcaroo5730]

Just wanted to say thankyou to you Magnus, for about 2 years now I've been watching your video's, been really enjoying it and also wanted to start climbing. I never did because I am chronically I'll which means I will get sick every other week almost making me loose a lot of my strength and endurance, but then i realized bouldering isn't all strength and endurance its also skill. 2 weeks ago I said why not give it a try? I've been loving it. I'm already solving V3/ easy V4 problems and my body has been feeling so much better already too! So thankyou for making your video's and inspiring me to start climbing!

[@TheGumbyGuy]

watching somebody as athletic as Magnus struggle and fail to do these things makes you realize just how hard they are. I've always known it's difficult but when all the gymnasts make it look so easy it's hard to know just how difficult is really is.

[@nathanyoung3483]

Even then, it's hard to know unless you've actually done it. I used to be a level 10 gymnast, and the skill level of the Olympic gymnasts is unbelievable to me. For perspective, every skill he tried was very basic except for the iron cross which is pretty hard

[@jorgenyordito2479]

Since I started climbing, I've always had a belief that climbing conditions your body to do well in a lot of different physical activities.
