[@oneday4141]

@@desireemontagliano573 It's not that what he did wasn't hard, I definitely couldn't do any of the things he completed on this video. Usually the people who have an issue with the bar hang are those who have watched a lot of people fail on other KZbin videos and the reason they failed was because the bar was free spinning. Apparently that makes it a lot harder.

[@maxime05c]

Yea, i hope he'll do pistol squat in that challenge too. Combined with muscle up it's quite fun. Along that those squats require good stabilizers and abs. The muscle up are quite taxing and then you hit the the most taxing muscle group, the legs(yes a leg is a muscle group ok, i said so.). So much blood gets pumped, you gotta love it. But the thing about muscle up is the strain on shoulders and elbow, it shouldn't be in a regular workout. Might be fine now, wait till you get 50.

To make the Bring Sally Up challenge similar to the original challenge, you have to pull up on the "bring Sally down" as the verses are supposed to be held in the more physically demanding position. Otherwise, you have longer periods of "resting" deadhangs compared to the challenge requiring that low plank during the verses. Still beyond impressive

I do reallly like when you are coaching Simon and think you should do more of that. I think it's good that you separate that type of content a bit from your climbing, because it changes the flow in the video very much. Like you did now, a part in the en of the video was nice, but a bit too short.

[@leoingson]

Yeah, it's a nice way to teach us mere mortals some aspects of climbing and training!

[@bittsitts]

This! I think it would be of great value to a lot of people if you coach technique to Simon! In this boulder for instance, it would be great to have Simon try to flag in the beginning instead of just matching (which he struggled with), bring his hip in and so on. If it proves popular, you could do it with multiple climbers at different levels (beginner like Simon, one at 6b+ish and so on).

[@graemecarter60]

the chair and table challenge are definitely not dumb. These are something we all have tried as kids. But I have to admit the table we kids climbed was big, but really solid. Well done. And thanks for giving it a go.

[@SebHaarfagre]

The way me & my buds 've done the Sally thing, is to do push ups. You're not allowed to touch the ground with anything but your feet and hands (or nose). On "down" you stay down until he says "up". On "up" you stay up until he says "down". *Good luck!* The table challenge: I thought it was from long end to long end so that's how I have done that before. The transitions are different. Not sure which way is easier. Maybe easier to tip a small table but easier to get across. I did it with a very huge table so you barely reach the other side with fingertips if you have 1 heel still locked. Hanging with 2 heels is impossible this way (long to long, big table).

[@thomasdrury1600]

Do bring sally up, the opposite way round, when it says "bring sally up," go down, and when it says "bring sally down," go up. It's harder

[@simonbovarsson7802]

Oooh thats a great idea!

[@silog8181]

For pull ups the movement is opposite, you go down on "bring Sally up", you go up on "bring Sally down". You hold at the top of the bar on the pause, time under tension is what makes this song challenging.

[@SamS9522]

Simon crushed the 100 second hang, does he do any strength related training or is he just at a good base level of fitness? Some insight into his physical fitness, not climbing related exercise, would provide some real context to his journey and make it more comparable for other new climbers watching your vlogs.

[@jayty1997]

Magnus, look into the meaning of the song. It's actually Green Sally (little girl) Up, green sally down. It was a children's song with roots in Africa and has root in the South with slaves. Last one squat gotta tear the ground is likely a reference to cotton picking and the loser would have to help the adults in the field. Very similar to ring around the Rosie, but with completing squats in the game that accompanies the song. A piece of history, though a fun children's song that happens to reference a darker time. It's funny the number of men doing challenges to a song quite literally worded as little girl up, little girl down! A quick google search will bring up some good write ups on the song. Damn amazing you can complete that!
