LAST TRAINING SESSION BEFORE SPAIN | VLOG

[@ACoupleClimbs]

Cheers to Olav for representing all of us. Love seeing him progress and I'm sure he'll keep improving!!!

[@boisking]

I like seeing the exercises Olav is using to improve. These are the things I need in order to work my way up to a front lever. Keep up the great work, Olav.

[@simondehaas6460]

Wayne London I realy recommend you to go through the usual progressions (adv tuck, one leg, adv one leg, full) while also doing alot of pull up and pull ups with added weight. FL raises are also usefull.

[@janaw1230]

Nice to see all of the feedback Magnus has for Olav! Thanks for being such a good sport Olav, lots of improvement already. Can't wait to see as things progress.

[@rickedeckard2006]

this is fast becoming my favourite climbing channel.

[@Manhole87]

I've climbed once ever . Came here from jujis channel. Didn't expect to enjoy this so much

[@hughharris1450]

It's great to see you training with a regular climber that someone like myself can relate to

[@piotrmarks9299]

An interesting and valuable idea to show exercises from two different perspectives. Two people at different levels. Super.

[@Wolperdingsda]

Props Magnus, have been following you for a year now, so pretty much since i started climbing. Always inspiring to see you climbing and how you approach your day to day live. And now with your brother joining you i finally have someone to relate to in terms of training haha love it! Keep it coming mate, you're doing a great service to the climbing community!

[@fritzbox6764]

Mirin those Midtbø tendon-genetics! As a beginner I would have suffered from tendonitis after such a workout Olav did. (Campus lock-off's, front lever work, double dyno's up AND down...)

[@Buckifan127]

Olav! You’re def. my idol right now! But that figure 8 knot was rough to look at haha keep up all the hard work!

[@stefandesu]

That knot was a no-go. As a belayer I would never ever let my partner climb with such a knot. 😳

[@freerider450tuff]

Love that you guys go all out on climbing 🧗‍♂️! Wish I could do this on a daily basis!

[@jobro296]

So, when are we going to see a one finger muscle up?

[@glennimation]

I'd love to train with them. Must be really fun getting such great tips and lessons. and at the same time magnus sees someone progress. Awesome.

[@zbajatasas8714]

would be great to see Olav again in the channel, nice to see medium level progress, it's a good reference to follow

[@petersvetlik1907]

This type of videos is amazing! Good to see Olav improving himself. Keep going, Olav!!!

[@jontylewis7301]

haha what an outrageous tail on olavs figure 8! I was waiting for him to clip it in the draw instead of the proper rope and cop a surprise whipper!

[@RonaldoMessina]

and the knot was too far from the harness. The belayer should have warned him and made him redo it properly.

[@jontylewis7301]

yeah, given he clearly is new to consistent route climbing the belayer should have said something, but Im sure now that he is going to be route climbing way more consistently he will learn the appropriate length of rope for the knot and this way people get to see an extreme version of a common error, and its something people kcan learn from. Its super cool to see a new climber progressing along a pro climber, so Keep up the good work Olav!

[@Liofa73]

Jonty Lewis -- Everyone's an expert/critic. Personally I am a bit of a perfectionist about things like this, but it was fine for that route, as long as he wasn't standing on. A couple of safety knots to take ip the slack would have helped.

[@thetrajohnson]

One armed front lever is INSANE!!! Good job!! And its great to see Olav's improvement. Im at 97kg (215lbs) and can do double front lever and rear lever, but knowing the weight and size I can tell you that climbing isn't easy for the bigger guys hah. Good stuff boys!!

[@mikefansin9567]

EnrgT I

[@sorendanielsson]

I really like the approach you have with teaching Olav to climb. Fun to watch and possible to relate. Question directly to you Olav. What sports have you done before? You don't look totally untrained. Looking forward to updates from Spain!

[@lukasgoossens2324]

very nice to include your brother, as he is kind of on my current level now. although i feel like he will improve so fast with this amazing coaching.

[@anuronironworks6164]

At 12:37 I got totally distracted by all these folks hopping up the stairs :D Great video! Love seeing Olav make progress!

[@TheRandomSpectator]

The amont of tail on that knot is insane....

[@vancestanfield]

I love Magnus' old videos... But dang are his new ones sick! Good job throughout the years!

[@jordansullivan5764]

I've been watching your videos for hours now, so it's almost like I've been training with you! Unfortunately I just disappointed myself with a distinct lack of rippling muscle when I got out of the shower.

[@michelefranciotta]

30k subscribers, Magnus! I remember when you had something like 400, I'm glad you've made it so far! Keep it up, amazing work! Have a blasting time in Spain man!

[@JasonFonceca]

Love seeing Olav progress so fast.

[@simondehaas6460]

Hey Magnus, looking forward to your time in Spain and also your progression towards the One Arm Front Lever. Though why did you put it in there as a core exercise? It's a lat and shoulder exercise, the abs only straighten out the legs while the Lats have to hold the whole body in place (Posterior deltoits also help). Thus the lats carry a much bigger lever and are the main muscle being used. I wish you the best, good luck in spain. And most importantly have fun.

[@Cheifio]

Amazing progress from Olav, there's no way I can train that frequently, i am so sore for days!

[@anjawoundedknee3074]

So good to see Olav progressing! That was such a good idea including him in your vlogs. Btw is he younger or older than you? looking forward to more videos with the two of you. greetings from Berlin, Germany!

[@lawrencetchen]

It's clear Magnus belonged on the right side of that slab boulder 💚

[@yiru05]

Awesome content. Please show us more about the training program you have Olav on so your n00b fans also become strong

[@denhamjeanz8038]

I expect you to flash la dura dura over in spain Magnus

[@sethgilbertson2474]

I feel like Olav might not need campusing and front levers in his training. Just lots of climbing, hangboarding, and tons of pullups. clearly he is already making awesome progress! Nice job!

[@jamesmcgall8234]

This is a good comparison between a good climber and Magnus haha. Magnus is a beast

[@haydengutiw]

Olav is getting pretty strong!

[@felixmi3029]

@Olav I wouldn't recommend to do dynamic stuff on the campus board. But you should have the same genetics like your brother/sister, with monster like pulleys. Other beginners woult strain their pulley really fast on the campus board. :)

[@GrundkursBouldern]

No to mention their shoulders. Campusboarding is definitly a tool for more experienced athletes.

[@Chris-ri4qs]

Well even if he sustains without injury all this is going to do is giving him too much power which is going to make him struggle to learn proper technique. I don't see the point, really. Learning to climb is a slow process, not something you force....

[@anonimowitty5725]

I saw you instagram photo's, you choose really nice places here in spain, really excited to see them in vlogs, hope you enjoy it here. Btw really nice incorporation to the channel

[@TiberiousTheLabrador]

congrats on 30k!

[@moleyboy9650]

Magnus, you have so much energy!! what's your secret after a hard 4-5 sesh climbing and pulling on crimper's, and doing slabs i ache and need a day off lol

[@travismontgomery1789]

It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun training together! Olav going to Spain as well?

[@alcupone6462]

That slab is supercool, that is a really good idea of the gym. How could you let Olav climb tied like this? That is disgracing!

[@ImNotMaxArzt]

What do you mean with the Olav part?

[@alcupone6462]

Such a terrible long rope tail by the knot on the harness. Excuse my english, I am not used to describe such a complicated stuff.

[@ImNotMaxArzt]

Ah, I don't do rope climbing so I didn't get your comment, thanks for explaining!

[@patpatch3410]

Hi Magnus, great vid as always, I was just wandering what sort of food you eat on a daily basis, dinner etc. Thanks!

[@psychedeliccheese]

He did a blog about it look back a bit. He eats all the Tacos

[@harrisonporter3356]

Watching Olav train next to Magnus shows how insanely strong he is😯

[@olavmidtb6197]

First!

[@justiny5385]

A bit of an advantage there eh? =P

[@brianpreller5554]

Olav Midtbø For all we know; you could've put the vlog up for Magnus! 🤣

[@ThirdEyePried]

Olav Midtbø Props on the progress dude! It's cool to watch. Have fun in Spain man!

[@Rocket2282]

Major congrats on that progress in just one week dude- crazy improvement. Keep it up and enjoy spain!

[@hermanhartvig8025]

I believe in you brother

[@spspaceboy]

As it looks like you're on the coast, beware old steel bolts that have dangerously corroded in the sea air! Just saw a Spanish climber on Instagram talking about it being a problem

[@jonathanRoenne]

It would be interesting to know how Olav like the Drago shoes :)

[@xavisk8pro]

At the beginning, I wanted to see Magnus climbing and not Olav climbing... However, now I found interesting seeing Magnus training Olav, and Olav getting better. :D

[@roaringlion4898]

Magnus's strength is ridiculous!

[@beyondexoticpets8251]

Who wants to see Magnus try the speed wall

[@DARK24-7]

It's the Mitbo bros.-kill it guys!!!

[@bradsorensen4882]

I dont think my gym has had a 5.14 route before. not like i could climb it anyway

[@climbingturkey]

On all of the roof section he looks like Spiderman!

[@EverdayClimber]

The foot pop coming out of the roof on the pink route was super unlucky

[@cacagoggle9141]

Bienvenido a España!!

[@savvagrinevich7460]

I'm late to this party but really enjoying the channel. Quick question - Olav is climbing a 6a+ at 8:43 onwards; I thought in YDS that would convert to 5.10a/b rather than 5.11a? Thanks so much for making this video and your channel, it's really helping me stay motivated when things aren't going my way in climbing.

[@fanny_josefine]

Grym video! Filma mer träning i gymmet! Det är kul att se vad ni gör för övningar 😆

[@cyclonemouse]

Magnus! Your packpack is open!

[@emilwerling6305]

great filming this episode!

[@amandamoushabek3955]

Commenting to support

[@aaronsnevertouchedgirlhips77]

Once you’ve climbed to the top how do you unclip all those points to get your rope down?

[@SuperSaiyanPhysique]

Loving this channel, seeing Olav's progression is awesome too. Would like to see how many pull ups he can do / how heavy a weighted pull. Also is his climb 6b+ (5.11a) or 6a+ (5.10c)?

[@qwertzuipong]

The white route that Olav is climbing is supposed to be 6a+ which you say translates to 5.11a. Is that correct? I thought 6a+ translates to 5.10b-c rather than 5.11a? The route doesn't look like 5.11a and if he already climbed that grade, it would be pretty impressive i think.

[@TwistinFool]

I need a brother like this that can kick my ass into training

[@epincion]

Jealous as hell of your trip! Enjoy it.

[@markellis6898]

From what I can see front lever uses a lot more lat than core.

[@R3Vatomic]

hey magnus could you do a video of how to clip efficiency thank great vlog as always.!

[@cedricradloff8152]

You r insane lmao please make a day in the life vlog because I am interested what your everyday life is like

[@MrRucknroll]

Do you always workout before your climbing sessions? i usually workout after, but after seeing you kill that 14d after a workout i'm wondering if i should change up my routine

[@ziggen78]

Sono molto belli i tuoi video!! Grazie...dai fai diventare tuo fratello da 9a!

[@Thrusthamster]

Oh good you left before todays snowmageddon

[@yelmak]

12:42 the people hopping up the stairs

[@abhishektalapatra]

30K! Woot!

[@timurbekanarbayev4188]

Nice vlog, Magnus. Please write when you climb your first 8a 8b 8c 9a and 9b. If you start climbing at 11. Thank you

[@glacieractivity]

Not sure how up-to data he keeps his logbook - but check here www.8a.nu/scorecard/AscentList.aspx?UserId=2213&AscentType=0&AscentClass=0&AscentListTimeInterval=0&AscentListViewType=0&GID=419fbd36c072aec9b394ca3bf5bcf8e9

[@RonaldoMessina]

you can sort by date, he did update in 2017 with the trips to Arco and Greece

[@kasrababaei4622]

Why don't you train with you sister?

[@yanivcohen30]

This boulder in the beginning is soooo tricky

[@liambarnes5695]

YEA BOIIIIIII

[@headchip26]

crazy dangler!

[@fishfeet5954]

Are you on some type of diet or do you restrict what kinds of foods you eat?

[@samuelfortier9899]

does his brother have a problem with his eyes ? theyre shaking left to right in the beginning

[@Dindonmasker]

At 0:30 your brother's eye are moving a lot. Is that some kind of nystagmus?

[@mohini2459]

30k!!!

[@josh9603]

Hay Magnes if i buy a progresser (your kick starter product) would i be able to use it with other portable hang boards or does that not work?

[@magmidt]

+Axor It should work with any device that is free hanging😊

[@josh9603]

Cool ill be picking one up then.

[@titojosh1396]

Is that Martin belaying you? AKA the underground vlog favorite? Haha

[@sebachan]

jeeze.. that figure 8 on olav tho.. lol

[@RockClimberAlex]

12:38 dafuq? Is the one leg stair jumping a new kind of leg strength training?

[@judodude18]

Hey! Love the vlogs Magnus and co. I feel like I gotta remind you to stay safe though xD The climb starting @8:46 was scary to watch. Not Olav, he's climbing well and progressing nicely. But... the grip the belayer was using coupled with that knot and the experience of climber.. that was way to sloppy. Rant mode: ON I've been climbing for 10+ years and I'm a certified climbing instructor so I realize I might get a bit more fussed up by these things than other people. But please, stay safe! Use proper belaying techniques (the "technique" during that climb was not proper.. the absolute opposite) and PARTNER CHECK.. please.. do and USE the partner check to make sure everything is safe. And yes that should entail making sure your belayer not only knows, but also applies proper technique for belaying. Rant mode: OFF Keep the vlogs coming!

[@cedricpornostar]

Bad exampel with the long end out of the knot at 9 min

[@YeNZeC]

What's your height and weight magnus ?

[@glennimation]

According to Wikipedia Height: 1.74 m Weight: 68 kg (150 lb)

[@YeNZeC]

Glenn Vandendijk Thats odd.. i weight 70kg at 12% bf at 172,he looks.... totally diffrent,i guess my legs are a little bigger. I figured he was around 5'9 and 155LB

[@gmangsxr750]

When you’re a normal human being and your brother is super human...

[@shinraninja]

damn hes so strong

[@albertohart5334]

What’s with the robot theme

[@InnerCrapra]

Which city are you in??

[@aeio722]

Spain? My country :o

[@kb824fan]

Is Magnus a stronger climber than Adam Ondra?

[@giovanniplacci8597]

the node of olav is very short

[@ripapa6355]

6a+ is 5.10b, not 5.11a.

[@skyrimesplorer]

What are you doing in Spain?

[@glacieractivity]

He is in Spain to climb - and I think he mentioned that the trip-project is to try Chilam Balam (9b)

[@balke7935]

that knot at 9:39...

[@secret5.]

Do you wax your body or just not have a lot of hair?

[@magmidt]

+Secret ! Haha I don't have a lot of hair on my body, and the hair that I have is blond, so you don't see it that well

[@secret5.]

Magnus Midtbø You’re lucky, sorry if that was personal haha! My daughter and I find your videos very inspiring to work harder at climbing, thank you for uploading them.

[@sebastianflynn1746]

6a+ is 10b...

[@liammooney3702]

if you start watching at 13:03 upside down it looks so funny
