Obastacle course, shamrock drill and shallow water grappling. - Sport
Thank you Magnus for training with us, you were definitely more fit and stronger than many Marines! It was my pleasure to compete and train alongside such an elite athlete like yourself throughout the day! -SSgt Chavez
Rah SSgt, Thanks to you and the rest of the Devils in the video for demonstrating the best of the Marine Corps to all his viewers. Motivated as hell watching this right now.
I really hope you collab again sometime! I wish you had more screentime lmao Cheers!
Gettin me fired up sarge!
You're a tech person, you're hella fit, you do photography, climb, do martial arts and you look like a cool positive person.
That's boyfriend material right there
Definitely not only hard, but also smart. Good to know some guys like this when you’re in trouble!
Bruh that guy being Magnus's motivation and instructor during the Shamrock drill is a straight up legend, he could help ya get through anything
We all need a guy like that to wake us up and get motivated on a Monday morning!
more like he was letting out what he needed to let out XDDDDD
@@xoshnax5962 he definitely has some childhood demons. the amount of lets go's was a bit much.
Let's GOOOOOOO! :)
I'd follow him into a firefight.
I really feel like that marine guy could motivate me into doing anything
ANYTHING
I mean...
Bro was going ape shit. Can I get him in the sidelines for football
STUDY FOR THAT TEST, LETS GO! LETS GO! LETS GOOOOOOOO!
Is there a double meaning that i'm not getting? 😅
Yeah you're missing..... LETS GOoOOOoO
Magnus in the water grappling just shows how insane some of his physical attributes are, as soon as he grabbed any of the guys they just couldn't get him off of them, insane grip strength
was about to say the same thing, the guys couldn't get him off them.
Seemed like his grip strength and forearm strength were really advantageous
My skinny daughter has amazing grip strength
We do BJJ and I hate when she gets a hold of me or my GI, it’s always almost a game over’
@@halo99yo especially in the water where legs are not as much of a factor he did have a massive advantage in terms of physicality
"Yo! get those death grips off me man!"
Really cracked me up. Seems like Magnus surprised him with how strong he was.
22:44 "I gave you almost everything I had... ...you got me" tells you everything you need to know about how awesome that guy is. a moment we expect him to be embarrassed and to try and save his ego, and instead confirms magnus simply got the better of him. Absolutely incredible to see, especially considering he knows the match is going out to a lot of people. They all seem like such great people
I really did… he had me GASSED
Super awesome to watch, and fantastic reactions. The ability to constructively talk it out like you two did is admirable. Well done to you both!
THATS MY SGT 😂😂
Awesome!
Magnus had really good head control. Was surprised to see that. Good instincts and his scary grip strength made a great combo. Hats off to Sergeant Hobley and everyone there. Fitness aside the character and integrity is world class as well.
The guy hyping Magnus up throughout the beach circuit is a true homie.
was about the comment the same thing. absolute homie indeed.
I want him following me even in exercising
I need him to follow me around in the gym goddamn
yeah, loved that guy too, great motivator
I know right...my God, i was planning to go to bed but after watching that part now i'm doing burpees and squats in my living room in the middle of the night! The guy is a legend!
When I saw the grappling was on their knees and mostly upper body, definitely was thinking that was time for Magnus to shine. Great comradery and the instructor in the end didn't show any ego. Challenge coin definitely earned.
I'm pretty sure they are wrestling on their knees for Magnus's benefit.
You can see in the very first fight the marines starting on their feet. However Magnus doesn't have the same leg strength or martial arts training as these marines do. So to put Magnus against one of these marines starting on foot wouldn't be a fair fight. By restricting the fight to knees only, the marines are being handicapped while giving Magnus the benefit of his upper body strength.
This does not discredit Magnus's win though. I can tell you that marine was truely fighting. Magnus almost choked out a marine and that is no easy thing. Mad respect for that.
If this fight started on foot however, I think Magnus would have little to no chance. He is a world class rock climber who has conditioned his body for climbing. These marines are world class level athletes who have conditioned their bodies for survival in a fight. In a on foot, no holds barred fight, the marines would win 10/10 times. On a timed wall climb, Magnus would win 10/10 times.
@@skunk_ink3954 I think that's far fetched as I highly doubt marines only practice grappling with the sense of a clean fight. If they don't know how to win when they go down on their knees than they would be screwed in real life situations and I don't think the difference in the type of leg strength used in grappling is big enough in this scenario for the marines to win every single time with a standing start.
Totaly agree that they wouldn't stand a chance in a timed wall climb though, same as Magnus probably wouldn't hold much of a candle in a heavy march exercise.
@@Ramdapanda I wasn't implying that marines don't train in every situation. What I was saying is that the marines have far stronger legs than Magnus does. There for allowing legs to be used in this would put Magnus and a huge disadvantage. By bringing the fight to only their knees it brings things to a much more even level. While the marines are still far more trained at grappling than Magnus is. Magnus has far superior upper body strength than the marines. This allows Magnus to make up for his lack of fighting experience by virtue of his insane grip strength. So I was only trying to say that fighting on their knees makes the fight more fair. Not that it makes them equals.
@@skunk_ink3954some of the Marines also started kneeling though...it's just inherently safer to start that way. It's the same in jiu jitsu. Beginners usually don't know how to fall properly so it's safer to ease into stand up grappling. Magnus did well here because he focused on controlling the head. His strength helped of course but technique is key in grappling, just like climbing.
I think many really dont't really get how incredibly fit you need to be a world class climber. It was super impressive to watch yet not surprising to me considering how strong you gotta be to do the kind of stuff Magnus does. I am a pretty good climber and in good shape and he s a superhuman to me
But he can't do a basic bodyweight squat lol
@@echocharlie1398 his strength is in his grip and arms more than legs so it makes sense
@@echocharlie1398 why hate 😐 hes strong as fuck
@@echocharlie1398 the bigger and stronger the legs the worse it is for climbing. Just dead weight most of the time. Specialization.
Физподготовка важна. Но зачем инструктор так орёт? Только слабые духом кричат. Со стороны это выглядит смешно и глупо.
I love how the marine you ran against was so excited to go against you, not because he wanted to beat you but because he was obviously a big fan of your channel. And also, all those marines shouting and cheering, "Go Magnus, go!", put such a big smile on my face. So beautifully wholesome and awesome to watch the comradery!
I’ve been a fan of his videos and who he is for a long time now, it was an amazing experience to not only help out with his video, but also race alongside him!
As a Swede, its so strange to hear an American pronounciation of Magnus.
I actually thought they were trolling and yelling "maggot" like in all movies, until i realized his name sounds a bit different in english :)
@@ledrash6079 oh wow. How does it sound in Swedish? I’m very curious. English has a terrible tendency to butcher the pronunciation of names
It’s difficult to find the kind of brotherhood there is in the marines. Even better in combat roles. Also kinda bad if you are weak or not trying. Very demanding but also very empowering. Tough love. If any of my kids pick to join the military I will do my best to suggest the marine corps.
@@davidlindsey6111 Magnus is like = mung-nouss
Absolute honor for you to come out Magnus! Definitely in better shape then most Marines, and thanks for the work in the water 😅 definitely felt your death grips in my neck the next few days…😂😅
He’s a weirdly well-rounded athlete for how specialized a sport rock climbing is. Thanks for your service!
I honestly cant even imagine how Magnus' grip strength feels like on the back of the neck. It has be what cats feel like being scruffed by humans
sir yessir!!
Magnus climbing grips 😱 can’t imagine the strengths on that
@@abichau5392 He has videos where he test his grip strength. It's insane.
Honestly, the best part is the rest of the group encouraging you like kids cheering for their favorite athlete at the Olympics. That kind of support is something we can all learn from.
This feels very awesome. When I did a sports test necessary for becoming a sports teacher we did this in groups to and everyone was very supportive and encouraging
Really give you that extra power
Yes, I thought exactly the same. Amazing.
Marines appreciate people that train with the right attitude. Most people don't understand the team mindset that they develop. Yes they are competitive, but they always support each other. You need that attitude in combat.
the fact that Magnus is even KEEPING UP is a testament to how physically demanding climbing can be! Incredible to watch.
The guy hyping Magnus through the course is an absolute team player. He even asked his teammate if he was ok after winning on the second shallow water grappling. What an awesome guy
He's a top G fr
That's what it is all about. That's why nacrissists and other self centered people don't do well there even tho they might be outperforming most normal soldiers.
My thoughts exactly. Some people might think he was kinda bullying Magnus with all that yelling :D, but anyone who trained anything in their life realizes he's a "peak gym mate". Just shoveling Magnus with that energy and motivation, that guy would make me go twice as hard I normally go :D. Anyone should be thankful if they have training partner/couch like that.
The excitement and appreciation of that guy below his words gave me happy tears :')
That's called motivating in the Marines. They also did it when he was doing the O course.
Wow Magnus that training is no joke, absolute beast for pushing through it!💪🏻🔥
you should this too
this was great and all, but i want to see magnus try to take us on on the volleyball court
no kidding i expected baby instructors.
they got him good.
excellent job Magnus
Yeah I would be exhausted without the 25lb plate already
You think there was an Armed Insurrection January 6th,2020? Where are the weapons that were collected? Liars is all that the Congress does to the American people. Where were the weapons? The media would have had a field day, showing all the weapons on TV. Show the American people all the weapons that were brought to the capital, where are the pictures?
FBI lies and so does all that has feed this lie.
Trump MAGA 2024
Magnus' strength from climbing helped a LOT when he got both arms around the instructor's head. It must have felt like a vice grip clamping down. All his climbing muscles were used in full effect there, and you could see how the instructor was struggling against those holds. I remember the video with the Norwegian army where Magnus did 60kg+ pullups, which outdid even the super fit Evan. Those were the same muscles in full effect. Without much (if any) martial arts training, that just goes to show how leveraging the right muscles and strengths can overcome training. Well done Magnus, that was super impressive man! Mad respect.
When he said “I kinda want to do it again but don’t” after the obstacle course is exactly how I thought I’d be feeling after the first run of it…. And basically the don’t quit attitude is key
I love the instructors who refuse to go easy, and I know they are but when he’s screaming “this is what you asked for” I loved it
"You can rest when you're dead!"
That's the part I liked the most
Sir as someone who has served aboard Camp Pendleton and has ran that same exact obstacle course you have you are impressive sir hands down
Ran those same roads great job keeping pace Magnus
Yup, ran that same O-course. Oorah! Semper Fi!
Man he did it with Gunny Torres I’m suprised he made it we used to call him El Diablo 😂😂😂
@@goldenboy2194 that's awesome
My buddy is stationed at Pendleton rn. He works in the armory
I am an Australian veteran and miss doing this. I have trained with many American military personnel, they are all amazing people. I am now disabled. Magnus you are a machine. I would love to know if you have trained with any of the Australian military
Looking to join early next year into infantry, any advice you could give mate?
@@thepopeshat8029its not my story to tell, nor my duty to help you with advice - but taking on that mindset that EVERYTHING can be conquered.
That one team one job and the full dedication for the job and your duty hopefully checks some of the important morals to have.
Further or more, i hope you get it. Keep us updated how it went!
14:19 motivation guy lvl 2000
I need the Shamrock Drill hype guy to come get me through some sets he was next level
His energy will take you up levels
I need him as my personal hypeman
Spend a day and the life of a Marine and you will realize real quick if you aint yelling you aint Motivated. Thats music that Marines sleep to. 55 yo Marine here. Semper Fi
you can tell he only cares about supporting his brothers and sisters, a wholesome-absolute-unit
go to boot camp. you hear it all day every day lol
Magnus is slowly turning into the Norwegian version of Jason Borne with all this training.
Jason Bjørn...
@@choomahinducer2520 hahahahahahhaha well done 👏
@@choomahinducer2520 HAHAHAH Bjørn Identity
imagine if he learns parkour
@@choomahinducer2520 take my angry upvote
Dude the moral support from these guys is unreal. I felt ready to run a marathon while watching
my father served back in the 90s. im sitting here thinking, "holy shit my dad is so cool i can't believe he did things like this"
Just imagine it comes out that he was only cleaning service
@@Mandalorian_John 🤣🤣😂💀
The older the marine usually the more they had to go through my dad was army late 80s into the 90s and him watching some of the basic training stuff of today he laughs and is like man that would’ve been like a day on the playground 😂
I was in the Marines. Most Marines that are good at fighting were good before the Marines. Marines combat training is a joke
Being proud of your father is great. It shows that you guys have a good connection.
Everyone should get a hype man like the dude in this video. His energy carried Magnus through the torture course.
IKR hahahhaa
Almost started doing push-ups myself damn that guy is suberb at that :D
that shit is fucking annoying.
And he absolutely destroyed his opponent in the water, that guy is an animal!
LOL! I can almost guarantee you he was the PAO (public affairs) guy. That was also me, a PAO pougue, but I'd run that O-course a half-dozen times in a row ... back in 1990.
14:56 I love this guy, his energy is electric. Seriously though the confidence and the relatability to know when someone needs that extra push is really admirable.
do these dudes ever go to war? or do they just do shit around the base an stay fit all day?
@@BayAreaBully7667 That's the million dollar question. When I was in my first unit, we were all itching to get deployed and earn our stripes. But most of the time was spent in a groundhogs day of training exercises.
I was just thinking that. You can't just scream at someone constantly or they kinda just zone out. He knew exactly when to push the right button and how to push it
He had me dying laughing
Image 20 years of service with no deployments … 💀
16:00 those burpees are showing that his soul already left his body at this point. Some incredible and inspiring experience. Well done.
Don't know much about Magnus
but considering the Marines eat sleep and breath this,,, Magnus held his own.
Was interesting watching the grappling. Looked like Magnus's opponents were both caught off guard by the strength of his grip and arms. Didn't expect that to have such an impact.
Them climber forearms babyy
@@israsalme this, this dude certainly has stronger grip then they do, it’s really cool to see,
I'm pretty sure they were going in a more friendly manor than usual. Elite Marines are usually super competetive, packed with macho aggresion to dominate. Maybe they just brought the "nicest" Marines. Grip strength is no joke in grappling though. I once sparred in BJJ with someone whom had Monkey like grip. I felt unable to do anything despite being more experienced
@@daystardaystardaystardayst1865 Hmm but I definitely don’t think Magnus won by chance. Maybe if won once you can argue by luck but he beat not one but two guys in grappling and the second guy is much larger and seen Magnus won the first one so he shouldn’t be caught off guard or surprise and the second guy himself said 22:44 “I give you almost everything I had. It was good. You beat me”
I mean, I don't he's lacking in core strength either.
15:05 This guy can push you through anything!
Mad respect, Magnus, for doing this.
Dude was hyping me up as well 🤣 😂
I was out of my seat!!!
I wouldn't be able to do anything but laugh if that dude was trying to motivate me lol.
for real though, he was making glass out of that sand!
@@rekt4guud134 then you never did these types of Training
As a marine who was stationed there and who has participated in those same events, you are an absolute beast pushing through that the way you did. You'd be a great motivator for marines there
yea but lets be honest,fuck them martial arts shit just shoot em
@Cool Story Bro this wasn't an official training. Yes we put our plates in
@Cool Story Bro you’re an insecure little dude, if you’re actually even in the service, I hope you get flatlined
@Cool Story Bro cool story bro
@Cool Story Bro Its okay man. We all know rangers are equivalent to infantry marines. We're cool man. Same team same fight
Gysgt Freddy Torres is a straight badass (the one talking about the courses). He’s a Purple Heart recipient from injuries from Afghanistan and has many combat tours underneath his belt from the infantry life, which you would never know since he’s a real humble dude. Any Marine that comes across his path will learn what real leadership is from this guy. Doesn’t care about bs but will train his Marines for what needs to be known for combat. Just funny to see everyone talking about Magnus without understanding the context of quality of dude he was with. Haven’t followed the channel and this random video popped up and I took a look and saw Freddie. But any O- course time below 1:30 is pretty good so keep up the good work.
Bro fr ! GySgt Torres is a badass I was in his company for bootcamp he was very different than the other drill instructors 🙏🏽! He talked to you and explained shit to you in a way others wouldn’t
Yo I remember him from my boot camp, I believe he was in plt 1070 when I was their, he was a SDI
Oh right.. we should honor those who kill children and women, the American way.
No one asked. Lol jkjk that’s dope
yes he is, was with him in 29 palms
magnus just brute forcing his way through the wrestling straight up beast lol
Wow, what an effort!
I came to this channel because of my interest in climbing. I'm still here because Magnus is such a cool guy and the quality of production is insanely good!
Magnus was an absolute monster in the water, the way he controlled the encounter was phenomenal, it had me jumping out of my seat and cheering. Absolute legend
You think it wasn't fake?
@@goku445 why would it. in some of his other videos he loses as well.
also he is a mad fit guy.
@@downey2294 I don't know. I feel like it was fake based on the way he (instructor) fights and the fact it is his damn job. Also his talk after sounds off.
@@goku445 maybe you're right. idk.
Definitely not fake.. I'm always surprised when people can't recognise true honest greatness. You must be a republican:)
Magnus: “Is this the only thing we are going to do today?”
Marine: “I am the one who ask questions here!”
💪😅 he was nice with you My Friend!🤘🔥🔥🔥
Hi Anton!
And yet Magnus says Anton is the mean one...
YOU need to try this man!! I'd like to see how well you do one these courses
I would love to see Magnus train BJJ for a solid month with a legit camp and see how he fares in a white belt tournament after such a short time. His strength:weight ratio is off the charts!!
Anton, too bad you couldn't have been there with Magnus. You two really know how to push your limits.
The best part of this video is at 15:55 when Magnus is so tired his muscle memory kicks in and he starts wiping his hands on his legs, like he's wiping off chalk. It's like he forgot that he's doing burpees and is instead working his way up some super intense rock face.
I'm sure he's just wiping off sand, isnt he
@@MrMagJon this shows you that people will create a narrative in their head and run with it as facts.
its sand
Nice story but he is wiping sand off
The Marines know how to get people into shape. My nephew signed up for the Marines at the end of high school but kept postponing his entry. He finally told us he couldn't do the required 3 pullups to get in, he couldn't even do 1. I took him to the gym for many weeks & he was able to do the required 3 pullups & he shipped out to Camp Pendleton 90 miles south from where we live. Our family went to his graduation & almost didn't recognize him. He went into boot camp @ 217 lbs. & graduated @ 170 lbs! They assigned him to work with a Marine recruiter before shipping out to Japan. One of his assignments was to go to "Angel Stadium" & demonstrate pullups prior to the baseball game. He went from not being able to do any pullups to doing pullup demonstrations showing how fit Marines are. :)
Why cant they grapple then lmao
@@MichaelStoller84 maybe because the other guys is top tier also.... lol
@@joshuahelt6589 bruh i can tell that they can't grapple. by looking at their technique also what grappling experience does magnus have? I dont think he has any and he went undefeated lmao
@@MichaelStoller84 because he went against non grapplers? If you're looking for grapplers. We in the dojo ;-). This type of fighting they teach is dirty fighting it's not meant for sports lol. It's meant for scratching your opponents eyes out and ripping their balls out. Idk if that's the type of grappling you looking for 😂 if you want a real grappling there's marines that do bjj in the dojos nearby
@@DerrelTheReal Wait what? are you disagreeing? They don't know how to grapple, we agree I think. I do do a lot of BJJ I'm an MMA fighter lmao
"you can rest when you are dead" sounds like something i would expect a marine to say... Damn those guys are badass, i hope no one finds oil close tp my house
Might not have to worry in a few years, as there's arguments being made to dissolve the Marine Corps.
Its said a lot in dojos and training as well, but for marines, its the truth! Which makes it really hard corps ;)
@@thomasbecker9676 wait, what?!
@@5upl1an They overlap too much with the larger branches, and it confuses the chain of command, so the plan is to slowly draw down and combine them into the Navy and Army. It's actually already started in some capacity.
@@thomasbecker9676 They've been saying that for decades.
GySgt Torres was my senior drill instructor in bootcamp. An absolute legend. It was amazing to be reminded how tough that training is and motivate me to get some again! Semper Fi devils
It’s kind of heartwarming to see how they all cheer each other on and hype you up ❤
As a former Marine I used to be able to do this pretty quick while in, but I gotta say when he said that 1 min time for the o course that was pretty impressive! Lol we do that thing hundreds of times while in so it’s like muscle memory. First run through and he did it in a minute plus?? That’s super fast. I’m sure if he did it a handful of times he would probably smoke everyone lol
Also there’s a lot to say about doing that stuff in the soft sand. That will drain you so much.
@@AM-fz4qv No kidding, legs always feel like jello after a day running around the beach not even working out
Kind of commenting as I watched. Magnus, you’d make one hell of a Marine. Nice job dude, you killed it. Makes me feel bad cause I’m so out of shape now that I’m out! Lol. Great job, awesome video.
@@AM-fz4qv Use that motivation to get back into shape!!
There are no “former marines” and we will always appreciate your service!
Dude, 6 minutes of high-intensity cardio without any breaks. That's brutal. It must be really cool to try this once. Doing this as part of normal training is just crazy.
where are you let's try it.
A pro-boxers daily routine ;D I saw people threw up on their first boxing warmup :)
@@loucypher417I’ve only throw up from working out once, my buddy put me through his normal workout once & it was insane, learned why he is so strong & was a personal trainer at the time, now a physical therapist. Need to hit him up & ask for a work out routine. In college I stopped working out a lot & now a few years later just run & do basic body work outs like push ups, burpees, sit ups & pull ups. Never get so tired I feel like I’m gonna throw up but that may be bc im not working out hard enough. Maybe time to up the intensity a bit, just not to throwing up levels
Pretty sure there is no object, element or human than can get the better of Magnus' pure willpower to push through! Truly inspirational as always!
I was so impressed by the teamwork and the encouragement that the marines offered! Really special.
God damn.
I really think if Magnus applied himself to it and received high level coaching then he would be an elite/pro level grappler.
His instincts are so spot on, he's actually a natural at it.
I think grapplers could learn from elite climbers. The grip strength alone must really give a huge advantage.
@@inthefade I am pretty sure he has some serious specific wrestling skills. His front headlock and bail on pure roll around positions. I am old now, but I can grapple some, but against talented grapplers (like Ju Jitsu athletes) I just wrestle. Like Magnus did. I will say I wrestled a few guys who had that kind of grip with big hands. Very frustrating.
@@scottg6754 in my opinion it's the head control magnus used. It puts you of balance and makes doing anything to your opponent that much harder.
@@scottg6754 Yeah his bail and roll when it looked he lost leverage was a tell that he either has some training or crazy instincts
Yeah, its a combination of a bit of grappling experience and an absolutely disgustingly strong grip, and anyone who has wrestled or done BJJ knows how important grip is. Peeling grips is something a lot of grapplers spend a ton of time training to do, and I'm sure its next to impossible to peel his.
The best part might be the entire squad enthusiastically cheering on Magnus. The inclusivity implied, that they want everyone who puts in a legitimate best effort to succeed, that they don't give a shit who you are as long as you can do the assigned job, is so great! Very similar to the climbing community (outside of comps, maybe) always enthusiastic and motivating each other to do better.
Magnus in the grappling was incredible, once he grabs you it’s a slow inexorable push down into the water, you can see him engaging his fingers and shoulder muscles, and it’s like a gear just moving and locking further and further down. Awesome video Magnus and USMC, this channel makes me want to be a better climber but also better all round athlete and person
Great video. Much respect to you Magnus and to those brave Marines. Thank you guys for your service and for keeping our country safe.
As someone who's passionate about training MMA, I'd honestly love to do this. It looks like a lot of fun. Also, the one marine shouting encouragement when Magnus was doing drills on the beach was fantastic. I'd love to have that dude just follow me around and deafen me with motivation.
Went straight to the comments after seeing homie scream in his ear, love it
Man can't agree more . Also they are teaching valuable stuff the whole time . I like when he says it isn't so much yourself when you feel dead in the water that pulls you through but everybody around you . That was awesome
uhmm i think you might get carried away and punch the marine in the face when your so exhausted and tired and the marine still screaming at your face. you may have anger issue when you reach ur limit hahhahhahaha
That's what men do .. just make sure there are more men to break it up bc two men that rlly wanna go at each other can go farther than needs to be just outta anger lol . We're men and when we get angry shit gets better or we get worse
If I had that dude hyping me up in the gym I’d be carrying an extra 10kg of muscle on my body, he was unreal
This has to be one of the most grueling things you can do. You continue to amaze with how you push yourself to improve and excel, Magnus
This was absolutely awesome! Thank you Magnus for sharing this! Semper Fi Marines from a Marine Corps vet 1972-'76
I love the positive energy that’s constantly there
The most amazing part is when verbal motivation wasn't enough and they joined in doing it at your pace to get you over that mental wall. Even if it was only for a day at that moment you were apart of that unit.
you could see them doing it for each other too, very inspiring. They compete but also want each other to be as good as possible.
This is what Marines do. They get down in your face and do extras at your pace to keep you going. My son is a Marine and I have watched him do this many times. They will not give up on each other, and if someone is struggling, even if they are finished with their own set, they will jump right back in and do them with you til you finish. Poolee, RCT, or Marine, it's just what they do. Never quit!
Magnus was a Beast! Well done!
Big ups to the guy hypeing you up, Magnus. Dude has so much energy, he definitely pushed you through.
Great watching these young US Marines. Intense, sharp, and motivated! 🙏🏼💪🏽🇺🇸
Is it weird that these videos make me emotional. The way they support each other just gets me every time
David was over the top hilarious screaming. The sheer dread on Magnus' face at times was classic. Well done.
This really shows how the strength and skills gained from climbing are applicable to a ton of other things! Who would have thought that grip strength could be used to choke out a marine - insane! I love your climbing videos and these ones, so please just make more of whatever makes you happy, and we are here for the ride =D
Cat Durrant
The mark of a good instructor with no ego is to make you feel capable and challenge you. The mark of a good student is to realize that the instructor can destroy you in seconds, but that would teach nothing.
Fun fact in Norway Magnus has a BJJ instructor as a best friend and he also fights professionally. It helps with the taiedown and securing the standing choke. I was watching his sprawl and looking at how he used something similar to a thai plumb hold to keep the Marine from getting control. Magnus did like a week where they got to try each others discipline. But from how Magnus looked he look like he did more then one week training.
@@hr1meg Actually, Magnus showed a pretty good understanding of upperbody grappling and collar ties.
He would definitely be a problem to anyone who isn't as strong.
dude just grapples with finger strength lmao
Grappling while wearing a vest vs. someone just in a T-Shirt is a significant disadvantage, as the opponent can use it like a Gi. Instructor didn't seem to take advantage of it, but it felt like he wasn't going hard, or underestimated Magnus at the start and couldn't get back in the game after.
Man! These Marines are Badasses! Wish I had done this as a lost young man, even if I failed, it would have been a life changing experience. So much respect!
You gotta love the marines spirit, continously cheering each other on is mad impressive
Wow, respect to magnus. But especially that training group. The support and positivity... Never seen it done so well.
RESPECT! 💪
I'd love to see you try something like this with your more traditional background. Love your videos btw!!
@@megachoons Sounds fun!! Thank you 🙏
This needs too be a colab!
@Jessie Enkamp you here too? Might we one day see worlds collide in a collab with Magnus?
Surprised to see you here Jesse. Colab!?!?! it would be awesome to see that. Love your videos!
I love how hyped that one marine us yelling at Magnus. You can hear his voice gaveling as the video plays. True hype man.
22:30 Magnus, is absolutely a force to be reckoned with. He completely controlled that whole match. This is assuming the instructor gave it his all which I hope he did being a Marine.
So inspiring! I love how everyone supports you, Magnus, and you are so brave and strong.
Impressive how better and better Magnus' videos are. Even more so since the million sub. It's even better than most documentaries you can watch on tv. At this point in a few years, his videos will be short movies (if not already the case), that's insane. Keep going. All my support from the beginning and forever !
What makes his videos so special is that he’s not simply documenting stuff, he’s right in the middle. He goes agains the best of the best and stays humble. What’s not to like about him?
Thought so too, absolute top quality filming.
There is an idea, a short movie!!! That would be a good challenge for Magnus.
I know right. The quality of his channel is tremendeous. And it gets better and better each upload. Magnus is setting a new standard!
Magnus was getting beat by the end of the shamrock drill, but he did pretty good.
When it came to the grappling, his upper body strength and grip from climbing were absolutely critical to him doing that well.
Mad respect for everyone in the video.
For a first time thing its amazing
This looked absolutely brutal. These guys are seriously fit 👏
I was BLESSED enough to have GYSGT Torres as MY Senior Drill Instructor!! He not only motivated us to be the best versions of ourselves, he took time to explain everything, and gave a damn about all of his recruits. We were his Last Cycle. THE absolute BEST Drill Instructor out there in my opinion.
@@Philbobama oh yea? hey kwon what was your nickname in boot camp? lol
I was getting huge DI vibes from him😂
My SDI didnt give a fuck about us and we were his last cycle
Dirty delta
@@zombiegone79 Thats what makes GYSGT Torres a real one. He gave a damn about us.
You can see how powerful Magnus is during the grappling when he was throwing around a guy bigger than himself. That's where his elite upper body strength would make him a nightmare to try to get out of his holds.
This is sick! Would LOVE to see more stuff like this
The diversity of your experiences, (and commitment) put you light years ahead of anyone else. You open the world's eyes to what climbers represent. KEEP RISING
man that second grappling fight was nuts, Magnus got his hands behind his neck and it almost stayed there for the entire grapple.
INTENSE! I was with Magnus, every exercise! I could feel the struggle and strong will to empower yourself and push through!
Nothing like the USMC! Semper Fi!
Yeah but that guy was low key capping about the hardest pft. Army is about the same and I was a Corpsman and I was kind of worried. But I maxed out on sit-ups easier than I did for navy sit-ups and the pull-ups weren’t that hard. At the time I’d rather do pull-ups than push-ups. Then the run was twice the distance but you basically get the same time as you would if you ran a mile and a half just double that time. They being said the marine corps pft is still no easy task
with magnus to be able to do this well
with basically no marine specific traning at his first try is really under-appreciated ,,,,JEEZ
Plus he defeated the biggest guy on the team in grappling 😲😲
maybe they feel a bit embarrassed. But they seemed really nice to me.
Damn! The shamrock drill looked insane, when the platoon leader finished the demonstration I swore out loud, and watching the Marine Magnus was paired with putting absolutely everything out there, it’s a no joke. Thats a damn hard drill, add the sand and heat as well.
Great job, Magnus! Absolutley loved how all the Marines motivated you and kept you going. Love our military!
God damn that grappling at the end. You have some insane upper body strength Magnus. Obviously not a shock, just impressive as hell.
14:00 Man, all the sudden I'm jealous of that brotherhood. Being able to trust your comrades with your life and the way they support you as their own life depends on it. I have no idea what it's like to have such a bond. They all seem like amazing people, beyond their massive courage and strength. Edit: Spoke too soon: 16:00 What a bro. 23:14 "death grips" haha I bet...
It's bullshit, this is coming from a marine.....it's cut throat just a bunch of ass kissers that throw you under the bus to get ahead. It's adult day Care. This is coming from a combat ribbon USMC SGT.
I was in the Air Force for 4 years and just got out recently. We don't get put through the wringer as hard as Marines but when you experience highly stressful situations and only have each other to lean on it really does foster deep bonds. I made friends in the military that I love like a second set of siblings. That's also why it's incredibly hard for some to transition to civilian life because it can feel like they just lost their identity. But it's something that never really goes away.
This was like a movie. I was really cheering for Magnus everytime. His proud face at the end got me!
Noticed how he said he's not that strong in the legs versus his arms. His arms and upper body are his greatest physical strength. And he used that to his advantage in the grappling section. He knows he's strong in the arms and aimed for headlocks. Really cool guy!
Thank you for training with us magnus, it was a pleasure!
Freaking love the motivation from the guy screaming. Legit made me want to get out there myself. What a privilege and amazing to see these people in action.
You guys are hard core. Makes me feel safer. Thanks for your service.
Now imagine if they let Magnus grapple with chalk! He wrestle a whole platoon underwater
magnus with chalk can beat khabib
Don't forget no shirt also!
12:59 Wow, this instructor/support coach guy is really a hype booster, i'm afraid that if he was to coach me, i'd gas out in a matter of minutes because of how he pumps me up so much i'd give my all just from the start, and get all wimp out already just in the middle.
he's amazing
C ft
You would be suprised at how much further you can go than what you believed was the best you could give.
@@Tom-tp1jv
if its about endurance, probably at least twice as far as youd think
That's what happens to weebs
Magnus in a baby crawl has got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a bit. His climbing ability really bled into grappling quite well too!
I like how you’re so humble with them it’s a really good attitude I thjnk !
That marine motivating Magnus is the embodiment of the finest American Spirit! Salute!
These Marines were hand picked and Magnus was able to hang with them in their expertise. Truly impressive. Good job Marines and Magnus!
Well yeah, they needed people who could form coherent sentences and look good on camera.
@@thomasbecker9676 they only needed one to form coherent sentences. The rest were picked with the intention of not letting Magnus whoop them on camera...which he did anyway hahaha
you realize you will truly never see these marines at their natural mindset to win on camera?! That's because you will never see the higher ranking marines scream and Put these intense marines on real life pressure just for little CZcams views I am telling you this as a marine myself. It's way different for training without cameras no offense but a recruit can literally smoke this guy not because they are fitter but because they have something at stake getting fucked up by drill instructors
@@chinopopapill5848 Chill out. Just respect the effort everybody there put in. Magnus did great and the Marines in the video represented themselves and the organization well.
@@kft4764 I'm sorry I came out as aggressive .
When I was in the army we had marines who transferred to us. They ran morning PT and it made me a much better soldier. Not just the routine, but the mental conditioning. Respect to all of you.
That was awesome Magnus…been binging in you videos, really appreciate the way you encourage and inspire so many different types of athletes.
Wow! I think Magnus did really well! When performing drills like that, it’s all about technique and practicing that technique. The more you run the drills, the better you become. Awesome for a first time!
This video confirms the toughness of Magnus. The extra 25lbs from the vest and the shallow water grappling are great ways to increase mental and physical toughness in regards to fighting.
Great job by the U.S.M.C. for inviting him!
Magnus was wearing a flak without sapi plates in it, so his vest was only about an extra 3-4 lbs. Still impressive though.
13:41 I'll record that shouting marine and will listen to him in loop every time I exercise.
Incredible the physical training the Marines doing, I completely enjoy watching this video and definitely inspiring, thank you.
I can easily see why these guys would trust each other 100% in any life and death situation. Really quite the group of awesome gentlemen.
Was able to see 4 of my buddies in this video! Props to them! And Magnus, man you did an outstanding job! Good shit on each event, and I’m glad to see you had a great time out here👌🏼
I'm not surprised to see Magnus do well in the grappling challenge, all the strength he's built from his career in climbing is nothing to overlook, rock climbers are powerful. Great job Magnus!
