Alex looks like a real life final fantasy protagonist
Bro would make the best Cloud cosplayer on earth. and with his strength i bet he could weild the real Buster Swoord too!
Nah he looks more like Justin Bieber to me
Bro looks like he is on an unlimited mewing streak
Tidus!
@@anotherpolo1143thats what i was thinkin
In Case anyone Wonders, i am the juggler in the Video 😂 it was amazing Just randomly bumping into the Magnus midbo at my Boulder Gym 🎉🎉 Thank you for including me!
amazing skills dude!!
That shit was crazy difficult, mad respect
Wow, great work there! How many were day?
hell yeah you crush that shit dawg on 55 crips
Nice! The real hero of the video ;)
Alex Megos looks like he was granted two wishes, to be a talented climber and to be a real boy.
This cuts to his core 😂
😂😂😂 you had me rolling :)
UA-cam Comment of the Year. 🏆
I love this comment.
LMFAO
average You are stronger than you think from Borlest reader be like
Bot
He looks like a 16 year old boy and laughs like a 50 year old man. What a fun duality 😄
Thanks for the video, Magnus! ❤
Laughs like Elon lol
@@GiantRock haha, thought the same, Elon jr.
I've never seen a 16 year old as jacked as that guy lol
except he turns 31 in a month. Crazy.
@@cedricrust9953 He's 30??? He looks 19 max, and his voice still cracks
I like how there's a guy doing the most insane juggling and magnus just used it as B-roll 😂
I believe he is a professional juggler. I met him at a convention, he's super nice and he gave me a slice of his pizza 🤌
I like how he fit it in to end with the music.
Thank you! I am that juggler 😂
Let’s go max I’m a fellow juggler
@@MaxKuschmierz No way aha, you have insane skills bro
14:19
"I think we should go to Finland" -"We don't need to anymore, we have already done it"
Missed your chance there Magnus :')
Reminds me of the time a girl who was in to me suggested to check out her aquarium at her place and I answered "Oh but I have already seen it at the housewarming"
Still haunts me to this day
He was being sarcastic though, they would not go to Finland.
@@fishwoman7825 they would
Maybe they will
😂
Why are you making gay fanfic from a casual convo
You know Alex is absurdly strong at the finger board when you see Magnus struggle 😅
He's got those Frankenjura fingers, he basically grew up on pockets 💪
maybe among top 10 strong in the world
I think it helps that he has very thin legs. A normally built person has already 40 pounds more than him just in the legs.
alex is so fricken strong its crazy
especially hes confidence and laugh is so good
magnus is my favourite ex pro climber
ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
15:45
I'm keeping tabs here!
o.O
We all know its actually the carrots that make him strong
Nah…. His secret is that he’s taking a spoonful of cod oil every morning (The Norwegian «Møllers» Brand)
Do you mean steroids?
@@mikegordon697Nah man, he seems too smart for that. Plus, I'm not sure if steroids are even allowed in the climbing olympiad.
They're definitely not allowed, but steroids for climbing would be pretty stupid. Pro climbers want to be lightweight, and steroids would grow all muscles, including those that aren't needed for climbing.
@@asharablackyoure right but...there's other things besides steroids. Lance Armstrong didn't look hugely muscular, but he definitely cheated. People need to accept that the strongest person in any athletic endeavor is likely on enhancements
Hear me out:
"Rock climber tries advanced pole dancing moves"
Im not kidding, there's some challenging stuff at the higher levels and it seems like the kind of thing rock climbing skills would translate really well to. Just keep your pants on please
Hell yeah💅
Man, I've been saying that all the time. It's my second sport and it's hella fun.
I mean I wouldn’t be against no pants Magnus🤷🏼
is there chalk in pole dancing?
I agree minus the keeping his pants on part
26:14 Magnus' face be like: "This guy is a psychopath, i must get out right now or my finger tendons are done for" 😵
wow wasn't expecting this random colab to drop!! made my day
Actually wasn’t random in another video in his new bouldering gym he said he was planning a video with Alex
@@ricotrejo4125 That was in a video on his More Magnus channel though & most people don't seem to have found that channel yet
That gaston on the black boulder was absolutely bananas
Yay, another Olympian to cheer for. This guy is so confident and yet humble too. Go Alex!
Great. Was waiting so badly for this collab. Alex is such a cool and funny dude, at the same time truly badass. You could do more with him if you ask me
Way more!
100
Says Alex’s pimp
17:14 When Alex Megos goes "huiuiui", you know it's hard :D
Yeah that's terrifying, haha.
That final juggle catch timed with the music was the cherry on top of enjoyment in an already saucy collaboration video 🍰
Timestamp?
@@colemantrebor6574 4:32
Awesome! I am the juggler in the Video! 😂🎉
@@MaxKuschmierz You are awesome. The speed of that juggling is insane!
Love the questions Magnus asks, always builds good rapportn and gets the climbers relaxed
If anyone is wondering, the man portrayed in the black and white picture with the funny quote (at 2:56) is Sophus Lie: a genius Norwegian mathematician who made major contributions to group theory, differential geometry, and linear algebra!
My PhD was largely in Lie group theory
@@ontheballcity71 I hope you are not making that up.
@@DrewWithington it is quite a large field tbh
@@linkinlinkinlinkin654 My comment was meant to be a joke, reacting to 'Lie group' by asking if @ontheballcity71 was telling the truth. Maybe it wasn't a very good joke......
The little anecdotes from back your youngers days climbing made the video feel wholesome !
Of course germans had to somehow incorporate beer into climbing.
Alex's laugh is a treasure
Very similar to Elon Musk 😅
Magnus, you honestly don't seem out of place training with one of the world's greatest climbers, which says a lot. I know people are requesting this all the time, but you really should give competing another chance.
i think there is much more to it then matching the strentgh of other climbers. With people fully dedicating their lives to competition it would be a struggle getting past semi-finals and deal with all the stress of a competition with price money that is out of reach and does barely cover flights when you can enjoy climbing around the world and promote the sport on terms that are the most fun.
but with what goal? he knows already he is int the top 0.001% but not in the top 20 and its not like he will be there in 5-10 years. like that its extreme stress for little outcome.
@@itsmyboardwhotalkHe could get there if he dedicated more time and effort to training.
Great chemistry between the two of you, love seeing you collab with all these great climbers.
They are alike. Trying to be nice toward each other it seems.
So happy that you made a video with Alex
Nice to see the representation of the connection between jugglers and climbers.
At juggling festivals, a frequently asked question for organising teams is for local climbing recommendations!
His obliques are insane
Another amazing video Magnus, you're on a roll! I'm loving the climbing content!
Not just the strongest climber but also super smart and very very funny.
And mindful of things around him and how he affects them.
when it comes to finger strength, Ales is indeed one of the strongest. Maybe you meant "not the best" regarding World Cup wins or so, but when it comes to strength, Alex is a Monster
@@johnmcmillen4540 original comment is saying he is the strongest and super smart and funny
@@kavishurethireswaran2748 uups sorry i missread it, you're right
was waiting for this one for a really long time, thanks :)
Love the vibes between Magnos, a couple of old competitors just having a blast
Love the videos magnus. You inspired me to start climbing and I fell in love with the sport. Keep up the good work
The legs are hilarious lmao
Bro really maxed all his climbing stats
Exactly my thought. His arms seem larger than his legs. Insane.
A lot of the online courses and video series about climbing just cover the basics that most intermediate to advanced climbers have already heard a million times over - so I'm really looking forward to seeing what someone like Megos can bring to the table
I love the interviews with the top level climbers, especially on the wall. I think their passion comes out, and it is exciting!
I have personally had the pleasure of watching Wolfgang Güllich in 1982, making a flash try on an unclimbed French project in Le Saussois: About 5m flat roof on nothing but one and two-finger pockets, where he would be doing levitation moves all the way past the lip and onto the headwall. The headwall was were he finally fell because he failed to find a crucial pocket.
Great. Was waiting so badly for this collab. Alex is such a cool and funny dude, at the same time truly badass. You could do more with him if you ask me 🙂
Finalllllyyyyy the Collab i was so eager for
Amazing content as allways, I'm getting to the point where I watch your videos more than once.
The two most sympathetic climbers in a collab. 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for the video. Hope to see you two in Alex and Chris channel and every other channel from magnus! 😂
I was so excited to see Alex with you Magnus. finally! I am so excited that this has happened and it was great vid!
This dude is LEGENDARY. Thanks for finally making the collab happen.
That felt like a 10 minute video! I need more!
It's so crazy that you visited Erlangen and the Steinbock. I literally live 3 mins away and I go to this gym 1-2 times per week. So surreal to know that you actually were there alongside Alex. Great video!
I enjoy listening to two pros talking about what they know. I don't understand some of it but I learn a lot. Great content!
Alex's face looks like a German porcelain doll. He is also built perfect for climbing - powerful torso/shoulders/forearms and skinny legs
I was going to say it looks like he has makeup and blush on, but porcelain doll fits better
Knees and elbows the same circumference.
He can be a model for sure
He is handsome. Generally, Natural beauty = health, so it’s not at all surprising he’s so strong
core too, it's rare that someone looks jacked standing next to magnus. he has that barrel shaped core, you know those abs can do work
Alex's physique and genetics seem perfect for climbing. Strong upper body and very lean legs is a great way to portion your weight/mass for elite climbers.
If he'd also have good skin for climbing it would be perfect
@@lolo_o4309 What does that even mean
@@BDOGifting2 Like Alex said, he has bad skin. That is why he uses tape. Compare that to Tomoa Narasaki who in Magnus's video said that Japanese people usually have good skin for climbing.
Alex actually has short arms as well which disadvantage him a bit in terms of reach, but might be why he’s so strong at one arms lol
He’s 5’8” 128 lbs like most elite climbers too
Alex was the first rock climber I watched. I came across a video of him and 3 other climbers that were kind of haughty about the fact that they spent most of their time on real rocks, while Alex said he trained mostly in gyms. By the end of it, they were all saying stuff like "I think I'll start training in the gym more" because Alex destroyed them in all of their competitions
He was also on the rock like every day when younger.
nice, it was the same video for me I think 😊
Yes, finally a session with Alex. What a beast!
Just loved it❤. We need more colabs with Alex. You both have wonderfully unique personalities.
Magnus never lets us down! Another awesome video!
it's good to come home and see that Magnus has posted a new video
The collab I’ve been waiting on. Amazing video, it made my Evening! Alex is really funny. I hope you guys get to do more togeher! ❤
ive been waiting for ages man...thanx for the collab.
Its cool to watch professionals talk about a route they haven't done and show the progress even if it's a short term project.
Finally! This is the day we all been waiting for🥳
Loving all of these climbing videos lately ❤
Never wouldve thought id see you climb in a gym that ive been to quite a few times haha, I love it! Hope you enjoyed your time in Erlangen :) Alex is a beast
Saw the short of you two, was hoping there would be a collab!
I’ve been waiting for this videos for ages 😊😊
Watched Alex climb in Innsbruck - he arrived to the venue on a bikeshare bike. What a legend. Never change Alex!
I had never seen Alex Megos actually climb. He's so strong, it's crazy to even think about it. Very cool collab and video as always!
Alex’s hangboarding is unreal!
I first met him when he was 14 or so competing at a local Munich climbing event, winning the Pull Up contest with 41 reps…
So cool to see you visiting my local Gym!
I can remember doing the Red 6 from the beginning of the video 1:48 😃
Omg im so hyped for this video Magnus! Lets go
If you do another one, hope you show his ridiculous flexibility! Almost as impressive as his finger power
Yes! Also, even if he says he doesn't do it often, his campusing is impressive.
I would love to get some details on that German climbing/beer drinking/push up competition! Sounds like a great way to have a comp with friends.
Absolutely generous of you sharing details on training strategies. Hope this will be appriciated by future competitors and you will get honoured by the fans.
my two favourite climbers collab :) looking forward to this!
After years we waiting for this video, finally!
The collab we've all been waiting for 🥕
There was great chemistry between the both of them. It would be great to see more videos of that.
I would be so excited to see you guys and Chris do a training session!
It's good to see the relationship between climbers and jugglers represented. Local climbing ideas are a commonly requested question for team organizers at juggling festivals!
Devil: you can be one of the best climbers in the world, but you must live on looking like a 9 year old boy
Megos: whatever it takes
My two fav beasts together, yeah! Looking forward to the strength comp between you guys!
Ooh i have been waiting to see him on this channel for so many years !
Making Magnus look like a casual climber is insane 💀 this man lives and breathes climbing 👏👏👏
Also can we please shout out that dudes insane juggling
❤ Thank you! That was me!
Loved the collab! More Megos x Midtbo please
Been waiting for this video!
His work ethic is insane
Alex’s laugh is infectious 😂
Amazing to finally see Alex on this Channel 😊
The legendary Alex! Great video as always.
This guy is either Zelda or a Pokémon Electric type Gym Leader.
Its funny to hear you talk about other climbers. You're Way too humble
I absolutely LOVE the passion for strength!
Massive respect for both of you. Mad stuff! 👍
Love you Magnus!
alex defines the term "sleeper build", damn maschinee
Awesome collaboration here! All the best for Alex at the Olympics 👍
Finally the collab we have been asking for years!
Every like I do one pullup.
Like this comment for a multiplier
i pledge to do the same, untill friday though, i wont have the time to do 500+ pullups
@@LoveBystroem I will count the likes till Friday as well bro
Right now we got 58, that's easy, I did 110 in one day last week
@@Krzysztof-gp4ov proof or it didn’t happen 😂 I’ll be waiting for you upload
Two supertough climbers. An absolutely great presentation! Thank you!
FINALLY, the collab I waited for years!!!!
So cool to see you climbing in my hometown gym, not the same routes but anyways… very nice video!
