If you haven't seen Adam before ... watch his climb of "Silence" proposed to be the hardest outdoor clime ever completed at 5.15d, with like a V15/16 boulder problem as the crux right in the middle. It's this insanely cool cave and the route goes from near the ground across the roof and out the mouth of the cave and terminates there. Such an amazing climb, route, and location. The whole video about his jurny training for it and the struggles to finally nail it is a really good watch. Adam actually makes really beautiful climbing vids, very talented team.

It is so cooling seeing how psyched Adam is. Just great energy. I really love seeing content like this. You can really see how invested Magnus is and how much he enjoys geeking about stuff like finger positioning. 😂

I'm not sure how it is off camera but when Magnus and Adam make any content together it's such a positive experience no matter what they're doing. Everything they make together seems to be a banger vid.

Missed these kind of videos and always happy to see Ondra collab with you. Wish you another successful year.

It’s cool watching Magnus show Adam all of the grip strength equipment; it’s just like a friend who’s excited to tell you about their new hobby.

I wouldn't have even been surprised if Adam was strictly weaker on all of these metrics than Magnus. Adam's magic has always been in his technique: his rapid and precise movement, flexibility to get the best angle on holds, and world leading ability to find rests.

The chemistry between you both is so amazing and fun to watch!

"We have the same length, just yours is beefier!" Great sentence to take out of context ;)

I think the physics behind the difficulty cutoff make a lot of sense. The limiting factor is actually how much friction you can achieve, not how much weight you can lift. Since friction breaks at a specific point the lift becomes impossible at a very sharp cutoff, without getting close to the amount of weight that you could lift with a normal grip.

@segundacuenta726

THIS. However a different grip or lift most times work different muscles tendons, ligaments, etc. So even one grabs with the hand a bar or sometihng else, the amount of force you can exert is very different (wrist alone vs whole arm, etc.)

When you said, "The whole grip lifting community will be super excited to see this," I felt heard.

Adam's still a beast, even after a three week break and not a lot of practise with this sport! I watched Emil's grip strength comp video a while ago, and he's crazy strong on this stuff too, but that competition lacked some of these grip types for a full comparison. It looks like a big part of your max lift comes down to general lifting technique. The movement of lifting something from the floor is not what you'd usually do as a climber. Would be interesting to see what would happen if you rigged it with a rope on a pulley system so you could pull downwards instead of up. Although once it goes over your body weight you'd end up just pulling yourself off the floor 😆

Lattice has some clips where they talk about the training they did with him and just recently he was able to do his first 9a route. For comparison I think Adam Ondra did that when he was 13 lol. The thing that sets Alex apart is his mentality and willingness to do things that no one would think of doing.

I have the same hand dyno and they have it adjusted to max open. It only moves a tiny amount when squeezed, so you can adjust it from open pinch-sized down to effectively 1" barbell handle-sized. As climbers and grip-trainers know, open and closed grip strength is quite different. Just now I got 158lb full open and only 142 at the small end (right hand). I can just close a Captains of Crush #2 with my right only (not quite left), but can only hang from the largest pockets (1½ pad?) of my hangboard for 10-15s (weigh 230lb), and only climb V3. Never had access to all the toys in this video! Point being, there's a lot of dimensions to grip and finger strength! Never mind actual climbing technique.

I've never seen Magnus so bubbly, this is awesome=D I guess he's like this around people he knows and feels comfortable around^^

Magnus thank you for that video. Actually I am impressed again by how controlled you are all the time. That made made me think off what might make you go excited or crazy. Maybe you can think of that as another challange and see what thing makes you the least controlled :D

Great video, both of you are strong af

Gotta love a good grip video.

I always love these videos! 22 minutes of smiling away - thank you. I'd be curious how a windsurfer would do. Although we generally don't require explosive moves as in rock climbing, most windsurfers have powerful forearms. One wonders how that endurance translates into these exercises of pure strength. What circumference is your forearm Magnus? I measured out of interest and I'm at 33 cm.

Yay!! Just wonderful! ❤ from Canada
