Magnus' grip strength is just going to get greater and greater! Even Odd's is still improving at 73! So cool to have front row seats to this spectacle! Perhaps we're going to be entering a sort of Golden Era of grip strength in coming years?!
Maybe you could do a video about grip strength with Kiril Sarachejev he did break the world record in the axle bar deadlift, or you could pitch the idea to Magnus
Yes, this era of superhuman drugs will only be compounded by the era of genetic modification. The babies being designed now will make this grip strength look like a natural 73 year old.
Magnus: “he makes it look so easy!” Everyone else in the world: “oh really Magnus… you don’t say.” *smash cut to all the videos of people saying that to him*
I one time shook a dude's hand, and just from holding it I realised at any moment he could break my hand with little effort. My hand felt like glass in his. Needless to say I went to the gym the next day
My school friend's dad. Until recently he was the strongest man I personally knew - sadly his health is deteriorating now, but he's probably still stronger then me. That's what a lifetime of riding and working on motorcycles will get you - a vice grip.
@@boomernality1904after I went to the gym for about a year I arm wrestled vs my dad. He never did a day of exercise in his life but he works recycling metals (mainly taking stuff apart and moving it) and I got destroyed.
Man just nonchalantly moves it back in position like it weighs nothing after Magnus and Juji already tapped out. That was both comical and impressive 😂
Crazy how smooth and stable Odd's lifts look, even when he's clearly exerting himself there's no shakiness or wobble at all. It's like his muscle control is absolutely perfect.
Yeah, he makes it look effortless. You've expressed it better than I did - I was just thinking that for Odd there's probably very little gap between 'looks effortless' and 'absolutely not happening'.
@@patheddles4004Odd has been weight training since he was an early teen-with nary a break . That’s probably one of the main reasons, plus genetics and proper training.
Odd is a legend in the world of strength sports. The guy has competed and won competitions in bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic weightlifting, strongman and grip strength. And he's still actively competing at the world level at 73. Truly unique.
Grip strength is one of those things that comes with age and working with your hands for decades on end. The strongest handshakes I’ve ever felt were old dudes who worked manual labor. Turning wrenches, shoveling, picking up awkward stuff. That’s how you get a strong grip. Old man strength is legit.
Yes sir. It feels like they have hydraulics in their hands. I work out and stuff but never had that super firm grip strength. Now that Im in the trades I hope to be that old strong man one day lol
i had a couple of mates that worked at a sawmill in the 80,s when everything was done manually carrying & stacking lumber all day their hands were massive like freak show ,fingers the size of sausages they could grab you by your arm & they could crush your bones like chicken bones if they wanted to ,they used to ask me to help them all time to do a lot of things because there hands & fingers were so big they were limited to what they could use them for when it come to more delicate tasks .
@@ravenger2445 you’d think but sometimes they designate old growth trees as hazard trees to get $ for their wood when really they re damp and environmentally productive in many ways the younger forests have less fire resistant bark making them more flammable but they don’t have as much wood volume so they cut the the big old ones that are just getting to a environmentally productive age smh
I do grip training and one thing is for sure, hand size starts to matter tremendously when you're dealing with grip strength sports involving wrapping your hand around thick objects. Magnus is exceptionally strong for what he's doing with much smaller hands, aside from bodyweight differences.
Facts! I have a couple different captains of. Rush and when I was in the military I used to offer people $100 if they could close my 250 (think that's the weight of it) and the only guy to take my money was a tall lanky guy with massive hands, he just picked it up and closed it like it was nothing.
@@zeusdarkgod7727 280 is world class with caps, who knows how far he could have gone, I'd drop him an email, he might just take what is great potential for granted he might be overall not exceptionally strong, but his grip is.
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.
The production in your videos is getting insane, Magnus ! Love everything from the crisp camera quality to the sound engineering in the post production ! Hej fra Danmark ! 🇩🇰 From Scandinavia with love
@@geeseofcheese Because he's been involved with organising and reffing major strongman events for many decades, has helped grow the sport as well as bring people into fold through his own frequent competitions, has helped to train a lot of top athletes etc, everyone who follows strongman knows who Odd is.

All so impressive. Magnus casually hitting a WR while also saying he thinks he'd make a fool of himself if he entered an official grip competition was golden 😂. He's so modest it's almost comical.
Wow. A lot of people around his age are retired sitting on their chairs barely walking a mile a day, and he's out here outdoing young guys that work their body to the limit with ease... I'm extremely impressed
@@MasterChief37 Did you just call someone small because Brian Shaw is bigger than them? Seriously dude? lmfao, that'd be like calling someone short because Yao Ming is taller than them.
@@NomSauce of course he’s small compared to Brian 180cm 100kg against 203cm 190kg Brian. I’m the same height and weight as Juji I don’t consider myself tall, because I’m not, 180cm is average.
I am very sure Andre the giant 7ft plus and 560lbs could do 2 tom inch dumbbells' in one hand without any training (He rolled a big us car with 4 guys in it once), Odd is a norse god of grip though.
I'm glad to see you and Juji doing another colab. Juji's channel is where I saw you for the first time, and your videos got me into climbing. I enjoy your content, Magnus
I love how excited Juji is when magnus does well. Such a healthy competitive attitude. He also adds perspective to how insane it is that Magnus is doing these things, as all of these are deceptively hard. I'd be so curious to see where Magnus would end up in one of these competitions.
juji's literally a wall of muscle, and magnus can compete with him in so many of these strength challenges... it really does add perspective when he can do something that juji cant, or he does a lift that juji struggled with like it was effortless
I remember reading that isometric strength (such as grip) is unique because it is not as taxing on the joints and can keep increasing well into old age, like Odd demonstrates. It's the fountain of youth for strength training.
I used to work with a tough, old man, around 75, who had been a landscaping laborer his whole life. Despite his age, he was incredibly strong. I was a young guy who hit the gym every day, stronger than most adults, yet I felt like an amateur compared to him. His grip, legs, and endurance were impressive, easily putting me to shame, while I usually outperformed other adults. I wish I had stayed in touch, I wonder how he's doing. Hope he's still putting youngsters to shame. It's actually inspiring.
Dude imagine having a badass grandpa like that, most people in their 70's are retired and spend their time on the couch, but this dude is stronger than most 20 and 30 year olds, how cool is that?
You and Juji have got to be the most wholesome fitness youtubers I have ever watched. Hope you guys do a few more collab videos, been awhile since I've seen you guys together!
I think some of working out is ego but it's like, healthy ego, if that makes sense? As in they enjoy being strong and working out, as it can boost their self esteem. But they also aren't afraid to elevate other people as well. I work out for mental health reasons personally.
@@FantomPhoenixIt isn't just "healthy ego" either, as in, self-steem because they look better/stronger. But also because it literally affects chemicals in the brain, strenght training and working out in general, are very good for the brain.
And he didnt enter any of those competition invites because "he thought he would be bad and look like an idiot" LOL he's doesn't even realize how strong he is
To be fair, I can imagine at least a couple of the top professional climbers would perform at least as good as Magnus, so they could attempt world records too. They just stick to climbing.
I can see how Haugen is still lifting. He seems very consistently aware and careful of his posture and technique- I’m sure that goes a long way in preventing injury.
@@babbagebrassworks4278 I mean, correct form for 40 years in the gym makes every lift you do automatically in correct form. Some things will just be imprinted in you with that much time and practice. It would feel wrong not to lift that way.
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 UA-camrs to watch because even though hes doing great right now he is always improving his videos.
Geez, I admire that 73 year old so much. To be in shape to that degree at 73? That's just crazy. Great job Magnus on your grip strength lifts! You could obliterate the grip strength records.
I remember my 63 year-old father putting me and three of my buddies to shame when it came to grip strength. We were all between 18 and 20 and thought we were tough, lol.
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.
You should definitely make a video with Yves Gravelle. He's such a strong climber, armlifter and has done various other insane feats of strength like a front lever on 4mm edges.
I love Odd giving chalk advice to Magnus. His advice is crucial for lifting but Magnus has legitimately trusted chalk with his life free soloing with Alex Honnold.
chalk usage for climbing and lifting is 2 different things . no one is questioning magnus climbing knowledge . when it comes to lifting few people on the planet has more hours in a Gym than Odd .
There was a gentleman being seen as a patient in a hospital I was working in. In his 90s, walked in straight and tall. No hunch, didn't appear to hurt or anything. WWII veteran. Sharp as a tack. Had the largest hands I've ever seen on a man. He was probably about 6' tall, similar to myself, but he had silverback gorilla mitts. Looked like Odds here. It's super inspiring to see older gents getting down still. My old man is in the best shape of his life, can whip me on a pull-up bar or just about anything in the gym still, and he's nearing 60. His biggest limitation is max HR goes with age as well, so he the cardio intensity training is a little different, but frankly just seems like his body just became more efficient. He's a mental cyclist. He and another gent his age have a silent war going on for fastest time on a local loop, it's gotten completely absurd to the point that no one in ANY age group is even close (or probably cares/has time to dedicate to fitness for the younger child raising guys). I just hope to stay away from injuries. I want to sleep well, and move without pain at that age.
I just hope to sleep well and move without pain at THIS age, let alone my old age 😂 and I'm not even 30 yet 😭 poor mental health and a chronic back injury have taken their toll lol. Ah well, gotta stay positive and do what I can to heal.
@@mainr7142yeah like ZZZ ZZZ said, you better start paying me some respect. It was hard going down on your mother but i had to so i could have a son. And you repay my efforts by having “poor mental health”?????? Gedufuckoutahrre.
I am just a few months younger than Odd. In at least one lift I am still getting stronger. It is the seated behind the back tricep extension. Years ago I did reps with 90 pounds. Last week I did 7 reps with 110 pounds. I weigh 170 pounds. How about a like for us seniors like Odd?
I love how throughout the video Juji keeps saying "I just want to beat magnus" not in a a way of he wants to be better, but in a way that he knows how powerful his friend truly is and he just wants to beat that to make himself better
So hooked on your videos dude! I Love watching you and Juji collab, you've got a great chemistry and it's clear there's a lot of mutual respect as well! Great video Magnus!
Magnus just inspired me to take up climbing. I come from swimming but a right shoulder injury means I can no longer swim without discomfort in spite of therapy, personal training and modifying techniques. But even at the age of 35 I still wanna be stronger and fitter, I watched Magnus's videos and gave top rope and bouldering a try. To my utter surprise, it does wonders to alleviate my type of shoulder injury. This video just convinced me more, the strength you get from climbing is very transferrable to real, everyday strength without the risk of bulking which is something undesirable for me. Still miss short course swimming a lot but ready to invest at least a couple of years to give climbing a chance.
Odd reminds me of my colleague Torbjørn, hes actually retired but can't sit at home and do next to nothing so he needed to get something to do so he's now working with me. he is incredibly strong working his whole life and was built when he was younger running Marathons and walking forests and mountains for days. had a double hip replacement and only 2 days after went to walk with crutches in the mountains, he's even beat cancer. The dude's 68 and immortal.
don't want to be that guy but you do have to realize these people take a shitload of enhancements, which probably helps with the whole thing a little bit
I love your videos Magnus, because of the athleticism, what you choose to do, where you choose to go, and your guests ....but mostly because of the attitude. Positive vibes! This is the way.
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!
Great video Magnus. I am really impressed with the quality of your videos lately, from the small animations in the text bubbles, to the accurate subtitles. And its great seeing you and Juji together again :) Thanks for the great content!
I could watch these two collab again and again and again. Love seeing Odd again as someone I always remember watching in Worlds Strongest Man when I was younger. I feel like I need to raise my game as I am hitting 50 this year.
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!
I’ve seen that you battle yourself with your age, I’m 25 and I see all these professionals. I feel like it’s too late for me to become great but watching you makes me feel I can still do you. You’re so awesome
I remember joining my local gym in Hawaii 25yrs ago and Odd used to workout there and he was a staple in Hawaii's strongest man competition. To see him still going strong all these years later at his age is amazing!💪🏼
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.
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
It's absolutely awesome that you were able to spend time with Odd Haugen! His knowledge is legendary and he's done so much for strength sports. It's good to see you and Juji all having fun, we appreciate you sharing these moments with us. Would love to see you and Juji have fun testing your grip with Mark Felix. (another living grip legend)
Here’s something that can change your way of life or thinking. This is the most important thing you will hear/read today. If you’ve told one lie, stolen anything, or lusted (which is adultery of the heart), you’ll be found guilty on Judgment Day and end up in Hell. But there’s good news: Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus, the prophesied Messiah, perfectly kept the Law, fulfilling all righteousness. He paid the fine for sinners ( that we could never pay ) by suffering and dying on the cross-absorbing the wrath of God that we deserve. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. Today, repent and trust Jesus; God will grant you forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. God bless
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.
Man these old strongmen, you cant get a read on their exact age, but soon as you see the white long socks pulled up the calves. You know theyre old school.
08:53 yes, as you say: "a good sport to get into when you're older". Grip strength is one of the best biomarkers for judging life expectancy of aging populations.
Aw man, the Magnus + Juji combo is my favorite Magnus colab. With Juji being from the state I live in and having climbed at my local rock climbing gym before, it's been my dream to get to climb with them someday lol. Can't believe I missed it when they were here a few years back.
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.

I love how excited Juji is when magnus does well. Such a healthy competitive attitude. He also adds perspective to how insane it is that Magnus is doing these things, as all of these are deceptively hard.
I'd be so curious to see where Magnus would end up in one of these competitions.
juji's literally a wall of muscle, and magnus can compete with him in so many of these strength challenges... it really does add perspective when he can do something that juji cant, or he does a lift that juji struggled with like it was effortless
Magnus and Juji work so well together. I love it anytime they do a video like this together
I remember reading that isometric strength (such as grip) is unique because it is not as taxing on the joints and can keep increasing well into old age, like Odd demonstrates. It's the fountain of youth for strength training.
I used to work with a tough, old man, around 75, who had been a landscaping laborer his whole life. Despite his age, he was incredibly strong. I was a young guy who hit the gym every day, stronger than most adults, yet I felt like an amateur compared to him. His grip, legs, and endurance were impressive, easily putting me to shame, while I usually outperformed other adults. I wish I had stayed in touch, I wonder how he's doing. Hope he's still putting youngsters to shame. It's actually inspiring.
Dude imagine having a badass grandpa like that, most people in their 70's are retired and spend their time on the couch, but this dude is stronger than most 20 and 30 year olds, how cool is that?
You and Juji have got to be the most wholesome fitness youtubers I have ever watched. Hope you guys do a few more collab videos, been awhile since I've seen you guys together!
Those two and Buff Dudes are pretty positive and wholesome. Great content
I keep having to remind myself that man is 73!! He is in amazing shape.
It’s really cool how all of them are cheering each other up. It truly shows that they workout out of enjoyment and not ego🙌🏽
I think some of working out is ego but it's like, healthy ego, if that makes sense?
As in they enjoy being strong and working out, as it can boost their self esteem. But they also aren't afraid to elevate other people as well. I work out for mental health reasons personally.
it's gay
@@Flat_Earth_Sophiago away beta boy
@@Flat_Earth_Sophia No you
@@FantomPhoenixIt isn't just "healthy ego" either, as in, self-steem because they look better/stronger. But also because it literally affects chemicals in the brain, strenght training and working out in general, are very good for the brain.
Juji is so humble. What a good man.
Really enjoyed watching Magnus and Juji hang out with this legend.
Crazy how close Magnus is to the world record with zero formal training
And he didnt enter any of those competition invites because "he thought he would be bad and look like an idiot" LOL he's doesn't even realize how strong he is
@@GetBack2023Nowfr sounds like one of those anime Antagonist or support characters insane lore
imagine he had accepted despite not wanting to look like an idiot, and then suddenly set a WR😂
To be fair, I can imagine at least a couple of the top professional climbers would perform at least as good as Magnus, so they could attempt world records too. They just stick to climbing.
@@WedryLP Some of the top outdoor boulderers are 60-70kg and have stronger fingers than magnus, those guys would crush
Did Magnus really try a bunch of world records with his shirt ON???
What the heck!? We all know his full strength is unleashed when he takes his shirt off!
He broke one world record with his shirt on, imagine if he takes it off 😂
Once he lifts naked, the untapped potential will be reached.
The size of his thumb... wtf 😳
@@Joey_86lmfao
So nice to see Juju back on your channel, imo you guys have great chemistry :)
I love the disciple, he is so positive and shows real excitement when his peers do something cool.
All of you seem like the coolest guys! Magnus, you are so humble, a great attribute. I enjoyed the video!
I can see how Haugen is still lifting. He seems very consistently aware and careful of his posture and technique- I’m sure that goes a long way in preventing injury.
His technique is smooth, he makes it look as easy as Anatoly sweeping floors.
Take the STEROIDS away and let's see how "big" and "strong" you REALLY are!
ROIDERS are FAKES!
Stay natural buddy!
@@babbagebrassworks4278 I mean, correct form for 40 years in the gym makes every lift you do automatically in correct form. Some things will just be imprinted in you with that much time and practice. It would feel wrong not to lift that way.
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 UA-camrs 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
Odd is really like the coolest guy of all time. imagine if ur grandpa was just insanely strong like Odd
He's literally one of the strongest people in the world but he's so humble about it.
Good vibes from all 3 men. Really enjoyed watching people be relaxed and sharing their experience.
Sorry for poor english
Good english!
Geez, I admire that 73 year old so much. To be in shape to that degree at 73? That's just crazy. Great job Magnus on your grip strength lifts! You could obliterate the grip strength records.
Take the STEROIDS away and let's see how "big" and "strong" you REALLY are!

juji and magnus. brothers from another mothers. your energy when you both are together is awesome. thanks for good content
Great to see Magnus with Juji again. Takes me back to when I first found his channel and was inspired to start climbing
I remember my 63 year-old father putting me and three of my buddies to shame when it came to grip strength. We were all between 18 and 20 and thought we were tough, lol.
Damn, you weren’t just an accident, you were a whole ass catastrophe. He was still putting out when most people start to become grandparents
@@Itchyboy_and youre a waste of oxygen, get a life
12:18 - that moment of pure love in jujis eyes was so beautiful 🥺
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.
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.
You should definitely make a video with Yves Gravelle. He's such a strong climber, armlifter and has done various other insane feats of strength like a front lever on 4mm edges.
Come to Ottawa Magnus! You can train with Yves and 2 other world champions 😁
Come Climb in Montreal, Magnus! So many gyms for you to enjoy!
Wanna see you crush the V12/V13 in Bloc Shop.
I love Odd giving chalk advice to Magnus. His advice is crucial for lifting but Magnus has legitimately trusted chalk with his life free soloing with Alex Honnold.
chalk usage for climbing and lifting is 2 different things . no one is questioning magnus climbing knowledge .
when it comes to lifting few people on the planet has more hours in a Gym than Odd .
There was a gentleman being seen as a patient in a hospital I was working in. In his 90s, walked in straight and tall. No hunch, didn't appear to hurt or anything. WWII veteran. Sharp as a tack. Had the largest hands I've ever seen on a man. He was probably about 6' tall, similar to myself, but he had silverback gorilla mitts. Looked like Odds here. It's super inspiring to see older gents getting down still. My old man is in the best shape of his life, can whip me on a pull-up bar or just about anything in the gym still, and he's nearing 60. His biggest limitation is max HR goes with age as well, so he the cardio intensity training is a little different, but frankly just seems like his body just became more efficient. He's a mental cyclist. He and another gent his age have a silent war going on for fastest time on a local loop, it's gotten completely absurd to the point that no one in ANY age group is even close (or probably cares/has time to dedicate to fitness for the younger child raising guys). I just hope to stay away from injuries. I want to sleep well, and move without pain at that age.
I just hope to sleep well and move without pain at THIS age, let alone my old age 😂 and I'm not even 30 yet 😭 poor mental health and a chronic back injury have taken their toll lol. Ah well, gotta stay positive and do what I can to heal.
@@mainr7142
Obey who created you.
@@mainr7142yeah like ZZZ ZZZ said, you better start paying me some respect. It was hard going down on your mother but i had to so i could have a son. And you repay my efforts by having “poor mental health”?????? Gedufuckoutahrre.
Yesss!!! Juji and Magnus collab! Always great to see them together. Odd Haugen is an OG!
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. :)
I am just a few months younger than Odd. In at least one lift I am still getting stronger. It is the seated behind the back tricep extension. Years ago I did reps with 90 pounds.
Last week I did 7 reps with 110 pounds. I weigh 170 pounds.
How about a like for us seniors like Odd?
You got it bud. Stay strong but also be careful!
Take the STEROIDS away and let's see how "big" and "strong" you REALLY are!

Don’t shit ur pants gramps
I love how throughout the video Juji keeps saying "I just want to beat magnus" not in a a way of he wants to be better, but in a way that he knows how powerful his friend truly is and he just wants to beat that to make himself better
Magnus is just an all around cool guy. He's so modest and so chill when really, he's an insanely tough guy.
So hooked on your videos dude! I Love watching you and Juji collab, you've got a great chemistry and it's clear there's a lot of mutual respect as well! Great video Magnus!
That man is a beast. Gotta soak in all that praise you got though Magnus. Impressing a beast isn't an easy feat.
Magnus just inspired me to take up climbing. I come from swimming but a right shoulder injury means I can no longer swim without discomfort in spite of therapy, personal training and modifying techniques. But even at the age of 35 I still wanna be stronger and fitter, I watched Magnus's videos and gave top rope and bouldering a try. To my utter surprise, it does wonders to alleviate my type of shoulder injury. This video just convinced me more, the strength you get from climbing is very transferrable to real, everyday strength without the risk of bulking which is something undesirable for me. Still miss short course swimming a lot but ready to invest at least a couple of years to give climbing a chance.
Look up comfrey root salves for your shoulder. You can also combine it with black seed oil then wrap your shoulder with plastic.... 👍
Odd reminds me of my colleague Torbjørn, hes actually retired but can't sit at home and do next to nothing so he needed to get something to do so he's now working with me. he is incredibly strong working his whole life and was built when he was younger running Marathons and walking forests and mountains for days. had a double hip replacement and only 2 days after went to walk with crutches in the mountains, he's even beat cancer. The dude's 68 and immortal.
So good to see Magnus and Juji together again! Hopefully more to come.
Love the fact that this is a sport where you could get stronger and stronger with age. Great vibe too with Juji and Odd!
don't want to be that guy but you do have to realize these people take a shitload of enhancements, which probably helps with the whole thing a little bit
@@hazardeurold dude looks unnatural but I have met some really old dudes with crazy arm and grip strength
Old man strength is a real thing. 💪🏽
I love your videos Magnus, because of the athleticism, what you choose to do, where you choose to go, and your guests ....but mostly because of the attitude. Positive vibes! This is the way.
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!
What a wholesome and inspiring training session. Thank you guys!!
Such a beast. Love seeing older guys still fit and healthy. I aspire to be like that when I'm older!
Great video Magnus. I am really impressed with the quality of your videos lately, from the small animations in the text bubbles, to the accurate subtitles. And its great seeing you and Juji together again :) Thanks for the great content!
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.
The mutual support is great to see. Well done guys.
this is a real group of true bros. Respecting the actual gains with a little teasing.
I could watch these two collab again and again and again. Love seeing Odd again as someone I always remember watching in Worlds Strongest Man when I was younger. I feel like I need to raise my game as I am hitting 50 this year.
I'm so glad you guys collabed again after so long! I've been waiting for more videos of you two together, it's always a blast!
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!
bro just beat the world record and had a straight face
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!
Glad you are back making videos.I love your videos.Keep up the great work.
Seeing someone that strong at that age is very inspiring!
Been waiting for this all week! Thanks for the upload Magnus! :)
I’ve seen that you battle yourself with your age, I’m 25 and I see all these professionals. I feel like it’s too late for me to become great but watching you makes me feel I can still do you. You’re so awesome
Low-key, this probably the most impressive athlete i've seen on this channel so far. 71 and breaking world records? WHAT?!
definitely on of the more fun Collab's I've seen in a bit, love this trio!
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.
I remember joining my local gym in Hawaii 25yrs ago and Odd used to workout there and he was a staple in Hawaii's strongest man competition. To see him still going strong all these years later at his age is amazing!💪🏼
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.
Nothing better than watching 3 pros chill together.
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.
@@alejandrososa5146 I agree. That’s probably the best explanation.
He's not 🙄
Depends how little you drink and/or smoke too!
It's absolutely awesome that you were able to spend time with Odd Haugen! His knowledge is legendary and he's done so much for strength sports. It's good to see you and Juji all having fun, we appreciate you sharing these moments with us. Would love to see you and Juji have fun testing your grip with Mark Felix. (another living grip legend)
Here’s something that can change your way of life or thinking. This is the most important thing you will hear/read today.
If you’ve told one lie, stolen anything, or lusted (which is adultery of the heart), you’ll be found guilty on Judgment Day and end up in Hell. But there’s good news: Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus, the prophesied Messiah, perfectly kept the Law, fulfilling all righteousness. He paid the fine for sinners ( that we could never pay ) by suffering and dying on the cross-absorbing the wrath of God that we deserve. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. Today, repent and trust Jesus; God will grant you forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. God bless
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.
Man these old strongmen, you cant get a read on their exact age, but soon as you see the white long socks pulled up the calves. You know theyre old school.
08:53 yes, as you say: "a good sport to get into when you're older". Grip strength is one of the best biomarkers for judging life expectancy of aging populations.
More correlative with higher muscle rather than the grip itself, I believe.
Aw man, the Magnus + Juji combo is my favorite Magnus colab. With Juji being from the state I live in and having climbed at my local rock climbing gym before, it's been my dream to get to climb with them someday lol. Can't believe I missed it when they were here a few years back.
Love the vibe with the three of you together. Always such great content Magnus!
You should make the world record official Magnus, Love the videos with Jujimufu so competitive. Good vibes!
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.
I'm loving the energy of Jujimufu in this!
