@@andromidius Yeah a lifetime, or even 10-15 is enough to develop hand strength. I worked as a construction mechanic on elevators and escalators. I got stronger than I thought was possible, grip wise. Some of the tools are just heavy, 60 or 70lbs. My hands and body were always swollen, hurting, even my neck. I used to take creatine and amino acids all the time. This guy at work would give me tests, like tighten down a bolt then ask if I could crack it loose by hand, the best part was my body weight stayed relatively the same. That's the first thing everyone told me, was that I had too much strength for my size, some guys we're much larger. I was pushing the boundaries of what my body could handle, the abuse. I worked hard every day though, was a workout and my body ultimately broke down there, wrist, shoulder, back etc. I don't think many people would last a lifetime there, most of those guys there die after retirement age, avg lifespan is 65, so they only live 3/4 of a normal person's age. Working men deserve special treatment, it's no joke what they do sometimes. Conditions sucked, the air sucks like you're working in a coal mine sometimes, it's dangerous as hell. Women are much too soft to work around there.

The biggest guys in the world disagree with you, they have trouble getting grip on grip strength training where smaller hands can grasp things more easily. Big hand size helps for pressing wayyyy more than gripping. In fact it's probably a negative to have big hands for grip strength alone. If you watch arm wrestling the biggest guys (i.e. Levan and Devon) focus very little, or zero, on grip because they can never outgrip the opponent they always use their arms and not their hands to win, Devon will even purposefully wipe sweat all over his hand so the other guy can't grip him.

Once met this oldish man with a big belly. He was a Qigong master and treated my back pain. He shook my hand casually but the feeling I got was insane... never felt anything like it. It felt like if my hand was in a hydraulic press. And he did not squeeze at all. If he had used ANY effort, my hand would have shattered. Yet, he did nothing of the sorts, just casual "How do you do" with a smile. When I mentioned this to him, he said he had worked on his grip and told me a story where he had wrestled with a professional wrestler, just for fun. He could not wrestle, really, so all he did was took the wrestler by his wrists and squeezed. The wrestler could do nothing but drop down to his knees and surrender. The wrestler said after this that he had never felt a strength like that, in his words the strength was "inhuman". I know.. there are exceptional people amongst us.

10:00 I swear this two must be one of the 0.0001% of the nicest people in Earth.... 😇😁👏👏👌

This guy is easily the most jacked 73 year old I've ever seen. Good shit

Stallone is still pretty jacked at 77. There are a few old timers still in the game!

Recent studies have shown that grip strength is a strong predictor of longevity. It will be interesting to see how long this guy lives. He’s 73 and functioning better than most 30 or 40 year olds. Really impressive

If that's the case then Odd should live to about 300 years old.

I could be wrong but I think it’s because grip strength is an easily-measured and decent proxy for overall body strength.

Depends how little you drink and/or smoke too!

Magnus is just an all around cool guy. He's so modest and so chill when really, he's an insanely tough guy.

bro just beat the world record and had a straight face

''ill do 5 reps of whatever you can do'' talk about badass xD

I rock climbed competitively for 22 years until an accident in the Austrian Alps ended my career and left me disabled. But today my grip strength is still as good or better than it was the day of that rock slide. An exception to the rule.

I really enjoy your videos. I have never climbed in my life. When I was young I focused on soccer and was a fair player reaching college level skill set. Now later in life at 58 I want to build my upper body up and my grip strength which is weak. I weigh 227. And 6 foot tall. Most of my weight is below my waist line. Also I was in a bad car wreck in 2013 and broke 11 ribs by left shoulder left shoulder blade and fractured the sterum. I really want to inprove my upper body strength and my grip strength. I appreciate your videos and the energy you bring to them. You make it seem fun when it's clearly uncomfortable. I am starting from really zero climbing ability. Any words of encouragement or advice is appreciated. You Rock!

You guys inspired me, I have a small wooden rock climbing grip in my office strapped around two dumbbells to practice until I get an official arm lifting rig! I work on my grip while watching your videos.

Magnus always seems to impress when it comes to grip strength. You can tell he is an elite athlete with how well he does in things he has never even tried before. But the best thing is despite all this he stays humble and always looks at room for improvement. I think this attitude is what made him one of the greatest climbers as well as one of the most entertaining KZreadrs to watch because even though hes doing great right now he is always improving his videos.

Yeah, with those small hands he got the Thomas to move a little! Like Captain America with Thor’s hammer. Lol

I'm blown away how good he looks for his age and he looks more buff than most men at their peak, just insane.

I normally assume world class athletes are juiced to the gills, but with this guy I just can't see it.

Brian Shaw vs this old guy in a grip strength test would be insane. Both have crazy grip strength.

Wow you said that bro, I'm emotionnally shaken now

Dude Juji is such a nice person. The way he was hyping Magnus up even when they both made mistakes was really nice to see.

Magnus. You HAVE to go to a grip strength competition, would be so fun to watch you do it. And it is like 10/10 content. :)

What an incredible inspiration this man is

This is so inspiring. I'm in my upper thirties, have just started truly getting into fitness and feeling like I'm able to improve slowly but consistently, but also wondering if I'm too old and late to become really good. Then I go and see this, and all I'm thinking is - yea, I'm gonna keep learning, studying, take care of my diet and push myself slowly but steadily in my routine, because obviously it's worth it. Thanks for this!

juji and magnus. brothers from another mothers. your energy when you both are together is awesome. thanks for good content

Seeing someone that strong at that age is very inspiring!

this is a real group of true bros. Respecting the actual gains with a little teasing.

It’s apparent that Juji enjoys training with Magnus and really admires his strength, but it’s funny because you see him thinking, “I’m supposed to be the strong guy, but I can’t do what he does”.

That man is a beast. Gotta soak in all that praise you got though Magnus. Impressing a beast isn't an easy feat.

Anton now Juji Cant wait for Anton Juji and Magnus in one video

I’ve followed Odd Haugen for years and have drawn the conclusion that he’s a superior species that’s just really good at impersonating a human. I’m jealous that you got to meet and train with one of my all time heroes.

Thank you gentlemen. You have all re-invigorated my desire to get more than my strength back. Warning: Don’t use it. You will lose it! 68 and I am ashamed at what I lost. Wake up call.

Old man strength is real. His name is Odd.

Odd man strength

Great to see Magnus with Juji again. Takes me back to when I first found his channel and was inspired to start climbing

It’s impressive that Magnus stepped up and was able to hang with the bigger dudes. I do grip strength a couple times a week and it hurts every time for a couple days after. I’m getting sore just watching this.

Good vibes from all 3 men. Really enjoyed watching people be relaxed and sharing their experience. Sorry for poor english

Good english!

Juji and Odd are very impressive, and Mitbo is still so surprising. Absolutely loved this and have missed you and Juji making videos. Throw in Devin and it would have been a crossover for the ages.

Odd sincerely is incredible. when he complimented magnus telling him he would be at top of the food chain for his body weight, warmed my heart.

Magnus, you should for sure compete in some Strongman comps - even just looking at lightweight and/or novice categories. You'd be amazing! Maybe even check out UKNS or BNSF for natty comps.

Pretty inspiring for strength lovers! Greetings from Spain

Odd truly is a living legend!

Love the fact that this is a sport where you could get stronger and stronger with age. Great vibe too with Juji and Odd!
