      If you watched Eddie competing, he would always push himself to the limit. He often passes out right on camera, and it's normal to him. When you wanna be the best, that's a small price to pay. Well, that, and a permanent lack of hydration. (lol)

      @@NickOvchinnikov Even if there’s “a bit of an ego” that’s still being super humble. He’s still downplaying himself. For example, a legendary guitarist isn’t gonna go around saying “I suck at guitar, I’m the worst” to seem humble. Because obviously that’s not true. They’ll downplay it, casually talk about how great others are and how much better the others may be in certain areas. There’s a difference between being egotistical vs having confidence in your skill set. You should have confidence if you’re amazing at something, doesn’t make you not humble. Being egotistical is acting as though you’re better at everything and closing your mind off to new things you may learn from. Which obviously he doesn’t do.

    Man, this has to be my favourite episode ever. They have such good chemistry. You can sense that Magnus is a bit on his guard around a big star like Eddie, but they seem to have hit it right off. And Eddie is such a good sport to Magnus' encouragement and very subtle teasing. Despite being simply intimidating physically, he's likeable to the degree of being cute. In a bigmouthed, bighearted, french bulldog kind of way. Remember, a bulldog that still could involuntarily crush you without noticing it. I was actually scared Magnus might get pancaked by Eddie simply rolling over at 17:35, forgetting he has invited a giant to the gym. Also I'm surprised that Eddie knows virtually nothing about climbing and has never tried it before. And even more surprised how well he does given that and his weight. You can tell he is absolutely up for any challenge. What a great match. So, now for the rest of the video.

    What a genuinely nice guy. I think what impressed me more than Eddie's sheer strength was his willingness to attempt something he knew would be a real challenge for him, and to keep going and learning and always trying to improve. No wonder he was the World's Strongest Man with such a great mindset.
    Whilst I will never be a strongman or a rock climber, seeing things like this does inspire me to work to be a better version of myself and be happy with my personal growth, however small it might be, rather than comparing myself against others.

    After my life started to go downhill I moved in with my dad and he showed me “The Wondrous World of Rock Climbing” it was a real escape and taught me that failure is ok as long as you keep getting up. I found out after a while that he also watched Magnus and it was a real way for he and I to bond since he hadn’t been in my life until then. I ended up leaving because he fell back into his egotistical ways. But I miss climbing with him and climbing in general. I can’t do it anymore because I don’t have the money or shoes or chalk. And memberships ain’t cheap. I just thought I’d let ya know how much you impacted my life, Magnus. I wish I could keep climbing but watching these helps.

    Things like:
    Max deadhang time
    Max pullup strength
    Max pullup reps
    Calisthenics skills (muscle up, front lever, etc)
    If I want to climb V7, for example, what strength goals should I aim for to make sure I’m not limited by fitness (vs technique).
    Would make a cool video. Could even do it with a bunch of people who climb at different levels and test their weighted pull-ups, max pull-ups reps, deadhang, etc.

      Great job man. There's no better feeling than progressing physically. And climbing is a sport where you will be able to clearly see how you progress.
      Today you might look at a difficult climb and be like "that impossible for me right now" and a few weeks or months later you will be like. "with some effort, I can do that right now". And some months after that you'll be like "oh this is easy".
      I've climbed with a friend for 3-4 years now (I'm 25 he's 26) And we're slowly creeping into V6-7 territory. V7s are still near impossible. And V6 is hard for us. But 3 years ago we were both V2 climbers at best.
      Now we chuckle at V4 climbs. Which would have been impossible or incredibly hard a few years ago.
      Point is, have fun, and get strong. There are not many things better in life than getting strong and healthy.
