      RadioactiveSand chalk is used by climbers and other athlets to dry sweaty hands in order to get more grip. Magnus uses a lot of chalk- and with a lot, I mean A LOT. So it became a kind of running gag among his viewers that Magnus does nothing in his life without chalking his hands before. This was a reference to this.

    This is so interesting. By anyone's standard, Magnus is a climbing god. Of course his techinque and footwork are amazing, but it's also fascinating to learn which muscles are and are not important for really excelling at this sport. Magnus has also mentioned that he has never had a training/overtraining injury which is very unusual too. I would love to understand how he has maintained such good muscle balance for all these years. Thank you so much Magnus for being a guinea pig for us to study!

    3. Tom would cry. (No judgement though; I probably would too.)

    Many, many years ago I was a long distance cross-country runner. I was very fit and very competitive. Although this is absolutely not me now, you never forget the journey. I am almost 60 now and have a heart issue but you can always tell an honest athlete by how the deal with the pain barrier. We would train 35+ km so that in competition, after a 12km run at varying fast pace, there was enough in the tank to run the last 400m at speed and the last 150m at full stride. And then die on the track after the tape. I so much miss the feeling of giving it your all. You can only ever be honest with yourself as an athlete and that you certainly are. Truely inspiring Magnus. You are a credit to yourself.

      @@jonesjeremiah Perhaps. Anyways, this test doesn't include things like flexibility and reach, which are evidently very important to your climbing potential.

    Always amazing to see how hard you try, even when you aren't in the best shape for this sort of thing. Can't believe they made you go an extra minute on the one hand hang thing.
    I definitely relate to what they said about your base level. I think that actually applies to a lot of things. I find that once you achieve a certain level of fitness or skill it's much easier to get back to that level again even if you've taken time off.
