I always tried to tell weightlifters or martial artists who have issues with the grip to rock climb. There's nothing on the earth that gets your hands as strong as fast as rock climbing. And the best part is it doesn't even feel like you're training it's just fun.
Larry extremely confident in his grip strength after his intense arm wrestling training. BTW grip strength is one of the most important and undertrained strengths and is one of the few reliable predictors of things such as motor function later in life, preservation of the brain, and even lifespan. I know that sounds far-fetched, but there's ample literature on it. Larry loves achieving god-tier grip strength man.
Also you can really tell a man's primal power by the thickness of his wrists. A man with thick wrists is extremely strong. Unfortunately, wrist size is nearly impossible to increase and arm wrestling is perhaps the only exercise I've found to actually increase wrist size and density.
@@justagamer1870 No I mean the actual wrist bone/tendons/connective tissue. Since there is almost no muscle in the actual wrist area itself, basically the only way to create more density in that area is to put the bone/tendons/connective tissue under consistent and immense pressure over a long period of time. In doing so, eventually (although slowly), the wrist itself can thicken. That's why farmers and armwrestlers have thick wrists. Consistent, high-pressure stress on the wrists over long periods of time. Forearms are much easier to grow since it's just muscle. Same as anywhere else.
Strength efficiency is way more interesting to me than just pure strength. I love the idea of packing as much raw strength and power into as small as a package as possible. Seems like the most healthy and sustainable way of staying fit
I actually give Larry credit for these cause imo (perhaps wrong) body building seems primarily about the sculpture where other things like arm wrestling or climbing is gonna be super targeted towards specific functional strength...but everyone always expects "the big guy" to win. Whatever, long rant I know. Lol
@@KaninTuzi hmm, well i guess hes just a bish then, lol. nah...id still say, his years of bodybuilding/sculpting ultimately weren't optimal towards then switching mediums. that schoolboy guy seems like hes done nothing but armwrestling motions since he was born and in my experience in climbing, sometimes that can be a distinction, when you tell your body on day 1/early on, this is the goal. Again, long rant on something not a big deal one way or the other but my 2 cents.
@@nono-zc1hs lol ya ill concede to being wrong. But id still just say, 'strongest' can fall apart real fast when you start to go into specific mediums...I'll stop using Larry and say Devon Larratt??, seems to be an immovable force on arm wrestling but saw him with the big english dude(Eddie??) and he could barely bench a set of 225, which if I recall Larry has done more with one hand?? lol. So ya, thats all my point is.
Really wild how with such regular sized arms/physique he can lift this massive pile of metal from the ground! He's not all about the rock climber's grip either. You can have all the grip in the world, but to actually lift that huge thing up high, seemingly effortless like that.. that's some powerlifter strength!
Not a climber, not a fitness guy. Used to lift a little, I like climbing like monkeys like climbing trees. Bad analogy as they’re way better than me. Suffice to say Larry and magnus are awesome and I’m always happy to see these too.
just learning about this guy from the recent collab with Larry, seems pretty down to earth and nice. Did he realize who he was up against properly? Larry can do more than this guy;s bodyweight i think.
Larry took steroids for about 11 years and has nearly double the mass of Magnus. Pound for pound magnus certainly wins this competition because he is a very specialised athlete.
@@letterkeys4440 he indeed seems to be pretty bad ass at climbing! i dont know how they found each other i think just from looking for potential or generic collabs now that Larry is back in the states maybe?
Magnus is a very impressive individual. I've first seen him couple of years back with JuJiMuFu and he has an impressive grip as well as a great overall strength pound per pound. Larry did amazing on grip strength. All those years of deadlifting world records weights with no straps made him also an elite in grip strength. It was great to see them both collaborate together and props to Larry for learning something new such as Rock climbing. I just love how also Larry excel in everything he tries making him an overall complete athlete.
Awesome to see another video on this! I have to admit I liked Magnus' version of this video a bit better. Camera setup/angles and the general editing! Lack of music. But it's a matter of taste!
Would be fun to see you collab with another Magnus, former worlds strongest man Magnus Samuelsson. He was also the european armwrestling champion in the 90s.
too many ppl calling the RGT a rolling thunder. ROLLING GRIP THING, people! Formerly the Rick Roller! RESPECT THE SET. Edit to add.... Larry's gotta watch that thumb curling up on the side of the roller. Some folks might consider that cheating :P
magnus is the definition of quality over quantity in muscles. going toe to toe with some of the biggest humans ever. pound for pound i would guess magnus close to the top.
I feel like Magnus' point of failure is probably not ever actually his grip - like, if he was a big dude like Larry, but with the same grip that he has now, then he could probably keep going.
I think I heard that the handle you are using the rolling grip thing is more difficult than the rolling thunder. I just tried the rolling thunder for the first time and got 200lbs so I imagine the rgt is much harder, more spin on the handle
Larry! Yo! Could you two have been any more humble about each other?! That was awesome! Both of you acknowledging the other as pure athletes, unlike the Michale Todds’ of the world. I too have been getting in to not just cross fit training but training across a broad spectrum of sports and it’s crazy how much the definition of strength changes from sport to sport. Out of all the new things you’ve tried beyond Power Lifting, what would you say is the most surprising to you as an athlete where in terms of strength you thought you would be stronger; i.e. when you first started getting into arm wrestling and found out it was a completely different type of strength vs power lifting?
Magnus has been with EVERYONE in the fitness community! I love him, he has such a good attitude.
He hasn't been with me! 🙄
Magnus is a typical Norwegian, friendly, respectful and funny.
Missing Jason Blaha
I lifted 150 kg for biceps can you!?
Haven't seen him with Brian Shaw or Cbum yet.. hopefully we see that too
Magnus was too sore for arm wrestling this time around! Sorry guys.
Thanks for showing us huge range of exercises in your chanell !!! Truly Inspirational !!!
Come to Norway and train with him!
no worries it’s awesome you still come so far and have such a range of influencers in your channel awesome work larry !
We can probably Google It though lol😂 legendary
Perhaps he did and destroyed Larry. Lol😂
Larry is such a genuine guy, great collab with Magnus
I lifted 150 kg for biceps can you;!?
@@captainbiceps-cr4ks No you don't
@@captainbiceps-cr4ksattention seeker 💀
Larry is becoming a monstrous dude.
Him coming to arm wrestling and messing with the grip stuff just completed him as a strength athlete.
Yeah he already had full body strength by deadlifting 940lbs, now he’s even more complete.
Bro the fact that he weighs SO MUCH LESS than larry is insane to me. He's a damn strong dude
Yeah he is strong as fuuuck
I lifted 150 kg for biceps can you ???
Looks completely natty as well.
@@captainbiceps-cr4ks I have 150kg biceps, do you?
Yeah he must feel very light on his feet.
Love having Magnus on your channel. Have him go to the gym with you!
I lifted 150 kg for biceps can you!??
@@captainbiceps-cr4ks Yes, easily
@@captainbiceps-cr4ks Stop skipping legday, mr.biceps
This is a great video. Just positive energy and a friendly battle. This kind of content makes the fitness world look better 🙂

Larry and Magnus always make for an entertaining collab. Larry's authenticity and personality really shine through in their videos.
You guys vibing so well together in both your videos. Such awesome and positive content.
Love the collab with the climbing world. Larry is so chill!
Love Magnus, dude's a beast
😊😊
I would love to see you do a grip strength video with Brian Shaw
That wouldn't be fair, Brian Shaw played for the Lakers. He's not very strong.
Strength efficiency is way more interesting to me than just pure strength. I love the idea of packing as much raw strength and power into as small as a package as possible. Seems like the most healthy and sustainable way of staying fit
I’ve been waiting for this colab for a while!! Cracking content Larry and Adam 💪🏻
It’s crazy how strong Magnus is compared to Larry on certain lifts. It shouldn’t even be possible.

One of the most spectacular videos on UA-cam, is the one featuring Magnus Midtbø and Alex Honnold.
Really wild how with such regular sized arms/physique he can lift this massive pile of metal from the ground! He's not all about the rock climber's grip either. You can have all the grip in the world, but to actually lift that huge thing up high, seemingly effortless like that.. that's some powerlifter strength!
Love these collabs!! Love the grip training! Awesome stuff!
Magnus Meatball has to be one of the strongest guys on Earth, pound for pound.
Guy walked in off the street and did an iron cross on real rings in a real gynastics gym. Insanity.
@Delta Lima yeah magnus is a genetic freak for his size
Ah yes, Magnus Meatball 🤌
This should be his name if he ever competed in WWE
Just like Spiderman
Magnus seems so genuine and humble. Great guy, great collab.
Would of been interesting to see him armwrestle!
There are a few videos of him arm wrestling on jujimufu’s channel
3 years ago. Search “magnus midtbø arm wrestling”
I lifted 150 kg for biceps can you:;??
@CAPTAIN BICEPS I jus realized you're a bot lol I've seen you in almost every video from this channel😂 May this job of yours bring you success😇
I lifted 1500 kg for biceps can you:;??
Great collab. Mixing it up is wonderful, two beasts in their fields.
Good guy with polite and gentleman manner
Legend has it that Larry is still totally agreeing to this day
Agree.
Oh yeah 100% 100%
Loving these kind of collabs!
Did anyone else see magnus pinch to disc and lift them like they were nothing
Not a climber, not a fitness guy. Used to lift a little, I like climbing like monkeys like climbing trees. Bad analogy as they’re way better than me. Suffice to say Larry and magnus are awesome and I’m always happy to see these too.
bro 8:55 when larry goes to help magnus is so funny to me for some reason
And Magnus just flops the weight around like its a piece of paper while also unclipping and reclipping seamlessly.
I was laughing a lot seeing Larry and even more Magnus trying not to laugh at the beginning of the video 😅
Dude, Magnus is a fucking beast! He's P4P one of the strongest dudes I've ever seen
11:41 Larry's laugh is still on cycle
just learning about this guy from the recent collab with Larry, seems pretty down to earth and nice. Did he realize who he was up against properly? Larry can do more than this guy;s bodyweight i think.
funny thing is i just learned about larry and was wondering if larry had any idea just how good of a climber magnus was

that fucking thumbnail😂
Hahaha😂 larry looks like hes gonna kill him😂
Anyone else notice the smooth unclipping and clipping of handles. Pro level from magnus.
That thumbnail is magnificent ! :D Always a pleasure watching two gentlemen doing incredible stuff 👍
Magnus got scandinavian genetics, scandinavians (danes, nors, swedes, iceland people) are strong as HECK naturally, its insane their strenght
He's literally Spiderman without the webs
Magnus is crazy strong for 150lbs
Awesome to see another video on this!
I have to admit I liked Magnus' version of this video a bit better. Camera setup/angles and the general editing! Lack of music. But it's a matter of taste!
Larry is delt raising it while Magnus uses his legs 😂
Would be fun to see you collab with another Magnus, former worlds strongest man Magnus Samuelsson. He was also the european armwrestling champion in the 90s.
21:52 "see what my PERSONAL BEST is, my PERSONAL RECORD, excuse me"😂
Very strong . This is a great video, love these collabs 💪💪
Magnus can definitely hang on rolling thunder with one arm that’s wild
Ha! Two absolute BEASTS! Magnus is such a cool guy and fits perfectly with Larry. These are among my favorites collabs.
Yoooo glad to see another upload from BBC Wheels! When are we going to see the collab with @KPFitness? Heard he’s in LA for the month
Both got super hand strength.. Rock climbing for huge finger strength for sure 💪
He is pound for pound probably one of the strongest guys i have ever seen
It’s insane how much strength a timy body can produce
Love Magnus his rock climbing skills are sick
Larry’s face when he realizes he is going to lose
Love your channel, and how you explore many directions of grip strength.
These videos are relaxing and motivational at the same time :)
This is the most chill grip video ever lol
Larry is a beast.. Loving these kind of collabs thank u..
You should do some powerlifting with Magnus, would be interresting so see his strengh
too many ppl calling the RGT a rolling thunder. ROLLING GRIP THING, people! Formerly the Rick Roller! RESPECT THE SET.
Edit to add.... Larry's gotta watch that thumb curling up on the side of the roller. Some folks might consider that cheating :P
Well now I wanna see a battle of the grips between Larry & Yves Gravelle 👀💯
I agree ! Yves did 105kg on the rolling thunder!
16:32 professionell weight plate placement
I like how you put both kg and lbs 👍
I think Magnus was having a harder time deadlifting some of these weights than he was gripping them lol
So... I see Larry wearing those Travis Scott/Fragment lows. Nice.
Just watched the strength wars movie. Im inspired! Ive never seen someone show so much heart
Maybe someday you'll get to try this with Brian Shaw.
good stuff larry
Magnus, you are AWESOME my friend, I LOVE your videos!
Magnus needs some tips on video titles. This one is spot on!
I have seen this in magnus’s channel. You were both 🔥🤟🏻
That thumbnail is fantastic.
I really liked this video! It's amazing what power a rock climber has! Venerable! Skillful! :)
two of my favorite athletes on the site
Magnus forgot to introduce his youtube channel. He said to subscribe to Larry Wheels in Larry's video😅😅😅
Any collab with Brian Shaw in the future? Awesome to see you try the blob pickup medley.
U becoming a complete unit Larry keep it up 💪🏻
magnus is the definition of quality over quantity in muscles. going toe to toe with some of the biggest humans ever. pound for pound i would guess magnus close to the top.
he said u strong af but weigh like half of him :D HAHA
Great collab!
I hope you guys can collab again later, and maybe then do some armwrestling too :)
These are all exercises you should be adding to your workout routine
I was not expecting this
The fucking best thumbnail I have ever seen
The collab we didnt know we needed!!
I feel like Magnus' point of failure is probably not ever actually his grip - like, if he was a big dude like Larry, but with the same grip that he has now, then he could probably keep going.
Larry, you should really try some armwrestling with Magnus. It would be sooo cool :)
That grip hub strength is insane!
i think the first lift is maguns's deadlift limit rather than grip ahah
I want to see a video with juji,it would be epic
Would definitely love Brian Shaw to do this with you guys.😂😂😂
I think I heard that the handle you are using the rolling grip thing is more difficult than the rolling thunder. I just tried the rolling thunder for the first time and got 200lbs so I imagine the rgt is much harder, more spin on the handle
We just need Juji now too 😎💪
Good job guys
Just the best picture i ever seen
Let's see some weighted pullups Larry.
Larry's left arm has left the chat
@Larry Wheels when will the PR Lifestyle site be back on? I want to purchase those elbow wraps so badly.
