Insane Military Obstacle course! - Military Pentathlon

[@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!

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

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.

[@petrvanicek81]

In situations like this I always say to myself "Well who else but Magnus.. " 💪😎😁

As ridiculously fun as this looks, it also seems pretty rough on the knees. Not something to attempt without powerful thighs.

[@johnpoon6110]

Hi there

[@togiisuperheavytank]

Sadly my thighs are fat not strong :(

[@syyllinen]

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!

[@Fiskie666]

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

[@Mikael-jt1hk]

broke my foot in three places landing wrong i a gravel pit like that.. I can only imagine how many injures these guys have.

[@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.

[@wenli7581]

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

[@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.'

[@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.

[@FilterChain]

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

[@garretthorner]

21:24 That in sync landing was so satisfying. Great video Magnus!

[@oz_jones]

I was so surprised that they were so close.

[@MortenBN1988]

In Rio, Danish soldier Daniel Wollbrecht did the obstacle course in 2:10 breaking the world record. It's on youtube. Really impressive run!

[@luckyspurs]

Magnus was so good on the crawl the second time. Marius stays so calm when he's doing the course. His breathing is amazing.

[@luciandragos1718]

I appreciate the effort of adding different shots in, but I can't get over the different shoes at 18:00 😂😂

[@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!

[@wendywilson8488]

My kids will be mad if I watch without them... but they're busy right now, and I'm not. 😁

[@rintje6507]

This looks like so much fun and Magnus seems very talented! I've asked for it before, but please do a VO2 max test. I really enjoy seeing you do endurance stuff! Edit: I can see why you're the crawling world record holder now. 21:38 that was rapid!

[@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.

As a former swimmer & swim coach, so glad we got to watch the "pro" swim. Soothed my 🖤. Finishing your strokes and rolling your hips in swimming is just as important as hip and body position in climbing.

Yesterday I sprinted for about 25 seconds. It showed me how massively out of shape I am. I'm skinny (5'10), so I think the sprint was pretty damn fast, but it took me about 20 to 30 minutes to calm down. I knew I am out of shape, but not that out of shape. This makes me respect magnus a whole lot 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

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

[@Plutonia001]

In the Finnish military we had to do that same obstacle course as part of a 30km hike (preceding a 100km bicycle hike). The obstacle course was not timed, but we had to bring full field gear with us. So every obstacle you passed, you also had to make sure that your 20kg pack and 4kg rifle pass them as well. The tall table-looking climb was the bane of everyone's existence. Fortunately it was a team effort so you didn't have to do everything alone. For example someone could climb onto the top of an obstacle, stay there and the rest would hand over their gear before proceeding to get over the obstacle themselves.

[@mesteme]

I've done these obstacle courses in France - it was humbling - you see them on KZbin you get some idea, but when you go through it it is brutal and humbling. The pool one going under the net I was convinced I would drown but I was there so I pushed through - like you said Magnus, you don't think of the obstacle you go ahead 😂
