Not to take away from her achievement, but little kids are able to hang a lot longer. In videos where trained adults try to out hang children they always lose. A skinny child who trains grip should be able to hold for 7-10 min (watch other hang challenge videos). This is because strength does not even scale to weight. The best pound for pound lifters are always small for a reason. A 4x body weight deadlift is physically impossible for a 400 pound strongman.

As soon as I saw the second dude my immediate thought was "he probably does yoga". Sure enough, he went for the slow pull-ups that emphasize tendon strength and endurance over the usual direct muscle burst. Happy for his success!

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

At some point humanity acquired a mutation which nerfs out muscle strength, probably to reduce caloric needs to survive two ice ages. A silverback gorilla, for example, can lift ten times its own body weight over its head without straining. In a small number of human beings, this mutation is switched off in a condition called muscular hypertrophy, making them as strong as human beings are _supposed_ to be. Children with the condition have massively muscular physiques without effort, and usually grow up to become famous, record-breaking athletes. Muscular hypertrophy takes two forms. The first form involves more muscles fibres per square centimetre, making the muscles much stronger than is normally humanly possible. The second form, however, involves the muscles storing much more ATP and processing it much more efficiently, so rather than having large, bulky muscles, the person has incredible endurance, able to do things like run marathons or -- as in this case -- hang by the arms for literally inhuman lengths of time.

We know from studies on the human genome that at one point during the last ice age, humanity was reduced to less than 5000 individuals, which is probably why the gene responsible for nerfing our muscles and reducing our caloric needs became universal, as those without it died.

[@DJ-ru4im]

@@NoJusticeNoPeace it has actually been proven that old conceptions of ape strength is incorrect. Chimpanzee muscle power output is approximately 1.35x higher. Due to their smaller size, larger humans actually stronger than chimpanzees. Chimpanzees higher output is largely due to their muscles being composed of a higher proportion of fast-twitch muscle (used for lifting and anaerobic efforts) at the expense of slow-twitch muscle which humans evolved because that's how we hunted prey. Humans can outrun any animal on the planet, and that is how some African tribes still hunt. All humans have variations in the proportion of fast and slow twitch muscle which is why some are genetically predisposed to marathons or lifting. Your gorilla statistic (lifting 10 times their bodyweight over their head) is complete nonsense. Finally, myostatin related muscular hypertrophy genetic disorder has nothing to do with chimpanzees or previous versions of human genetic code

This is a really cool demonstration of how different body types and even ones that look pretty similar can perform totally differently depending on the strength challenge.

All these folks are clearly healthy and enjoy the challenge, so it's awesome to just see people having some fun!

[@HiImBQ]

For strength, the central nervous system is a huge factor. How efficient the brain uses the muscle fibres

[@sailingintosunshine]

@@HiImBQ it is really interesting how exercise selection can massively influence such results depending on body type. This becomes expecially clear, when you pair a tall and a short person (of similar body composition) and compare their performance in amount of pull ups vs energy output on a rowing machine. For pullups, the taller guy will have to lift more weight and do more ROM for each rep, but for rows, the longer ROM actually benefits the energy output, and body weight suddenly has no impact anymore.

6:47, respect guys that was so kind and it will probably motivate more people to be kind!

[@JH_75]

This blows my mind on every level. I cant believe how strong people are. I am tall and thin and I do work out but my body simply isn't built for this kind of thing. I have long arms and peter out pretty quickly with all of these movements. I want to be powerfully built in my next life. Well done.

[@JustMamba]

The guy in the thumbnail kind of looks like a muscular bearded Benedict Cumberbatch.

[@nine-graves]

+1 Came here to say he was the Mediterranean muscular version of Benedict Cumberbatch.

Thought it was a photoshop hahaha

[@saisaivipa]

Yaaas! 😂

[@Wyrviny]

yep, lol

[@eyalshahar6149]

one of the best videos I've seen in a while. Good job! love both u and Brandon

[@coryvanvalin3142]

Smiling throughout this. I look forward to meeting you guys sometime

[@Zamiroh]

What I love about stuff like this is people working out always seem to be very nice for the most part!!

[@Zamiroh]

@@Hillgrov yeah true enough!

[@nirbhay_raghav]

The little made me smile so wide in a looonnng time. She made a lot of us genuinely smile at her sheer will power something so many of us adults lack these days.

[@Supernaut2000]

This was really fun to watch! And they didn't win them all either! Loved it that you gave the little girl $100, sure made her day!

[@foxtrot3362]

Of course, I'm here for the climbing, you're the reason I'm climbing at all and I really didn't expect to like this video but you've definitely lived up to what you wanted. You're definitely am amazing climber, editor and content creator. I started watching just cause it's you and I stayed of course because it's still you but because the video was just so good. Love your videos, keep up the phenomenal work!!!

That kid hanging for 2:40 is build different. Most adults don't have that kind of pain tolerance.

[@El_Rey_247]

Kids are crazy stubborn. I knew a kid that could hold his breath until he passed out. Can't even get close to that as an adult.

[@collinbeal]

Yeah I once hid for 3 hours in a cramped space for Hide and Seek as a kid. Stubborn as Hell

[@z0uLess]

@@El_Rey_247 You think thats stubborn? I once knew a kid that killed himself.

[@Bibis-zw8ie]

Also kids are lighter so they have less strain

[@nakulgote]

This turned out to be way more entertaining and inspiring than I expected.

[@wernerhannefeld2636]

Let us appreciate how incredibly does sport and respectful challenging unite people and help them to have an awesome time! Truly impressive!

[@michiganrips]

Man so glad you rewarded that girls hard work, that was SO amazing !

[@miggywiggy]

Ever since I saw you on Ludwig’s channel, I’ve been binging your content for weeks now. I watch at least 2 videos a day. Excellent stuff.

[@jacobbailey2950]

Doctor: Ripped Benedict Cumberbatch isn't real, he won't beat you at pushups. Ripped Benedict Cumberbatch: 12:48

[@skidipap8750]

Yup, i also was like wtf, is that somekind of deepfake?

[@hoothoot3651]

LMFAO THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT

[@jasonuerkvitz3756]

Really happy you gave that little girl the $100. Superb show of class recognizing what a little warrior she was.

[@chazzmccloud36]

"Pounds are heavy" he makes a hell of a good point.

5:00 I like how Magnus pick the bit, kudos!

[@BernhardKohli]

The last guy with the pushups was also very impressive 👏 But props to everybody in the video! 👍

[@stevenl8687]

Anybody notice how chill and nice most bodybuilders are? confident people who don't pretend to be something else love it! respect! great videos these are awesome to watch now I best put down this burger and find a gym! lol

[@AlexLimm]

The subtle shift in Magnus' facial expression always tells me when he turns his competitive fire on, love it!

[@atomicskistuntman6754]

During track/gymnastic practice in fall of 1983, 6 pole vaulters at ACU, competed on hanging contest, everyone broke 4:30, finally won by Greg Culp at 6:00 minutes.

[@MrTargenor]

wow the girl is very impressive. the mental work she pulls off is scary. good on ya 🙂

[@bencefuredi9389]

You did some really great collabs in a short period of time keep it up!

[@Kmasse8]

Hanging is a great exercise (for the back, forearms). Many crazy strong people in this video. Those kiwi-women were very impressive (120-150 seconds wow) and especially the little girl. When I was kid, I was strong and light weight but could not hang nearly that long. Nowadays, for me, after a minute it gets tough, after 90 seconds, those seconds start feel like minutes.

[@gezzapk]

Yeah pretty impressive for the average kiwi. Those two caught me by surprise as I was wondering why there are 2 kiwi girls randomly at LA muscle beach haha.

[@Kraze7997]

I found your channel last month and am now getting into rock climbing. Injured my wrist the second time I went. But I cannot wait to get back to the gym.

[@2spoons]

Very entertaining... and great to see so many different approaches / Calisthenics even !!! Great work lads!! @Magnus Midtdø & @Brandon William
