I'm surprised he didn't chalk up before swimming
I'm dead XD
ahahah man u kill me XD
You just can't get a proper grip on the water without chalk.
Thats probably the reason why he was so bad at swimming 😄
@@PatrickStar5131 Nice name there
So many sweet comments, thank you❤️❤️ Let us know if there’s any other fitness test you guys want Magnus to try (and me to fail)
Next time wear swimming goggles to avoid the neck pain! (You don’t have to keep the neck up all the time) :) well done both of you! Keep it up!
Lol, Marte. How about those balance-based/gender-based ones like the chair lift? Also, I think the marathon is one of the only things where I saw Magnus full on break down? It's a pretty interesting video that is worth revisiting when you are frustrated and Magnus is calmly there pushing it, but not frustrated. That marathon got in his head.
We love you Marte ❤️
Marte, don't ever feel bad about how you do. It is helpful for people not at Magnus's level (almost everyone) to see you climb, and to watch you and Magnus go over how to solve boulder problems. Most newer people have fun watching Magnus climb, but can't relate to it. Normal people :) can relate to you, and learn from watching you learn. Keep doing great. The community really likes you.
Just want to say that your run time was great! My daughter is on a middle school cross country team and they run 1.5 mile races. Your weren't much slower than the fastest girls on her team. My other daughter has been training in gymnastics for the past couple years, and she is getting pretty good. She has just started getting more into climbing and has been trying to do more pull-ups. As of yet, she can only do four consecutively. So all in all, I am impressed, and both my girls think you're awesome! We love your adventurous spirit and your sense of humor. As for tests, have you heard of the beep test? That would be hilarious to watch you and Magnus do that one. Basically you ran back an forth across a set distance and you have to make it back and forth before the beep goes off. I think the beeps get closer as time goes on and you have to go faster and faster. The goal is to beat the beep as many times as possible. I don't know if this makes sense. It's a fitness test that a lot of gym classes do in the US. I think it's done in other countries too?
Magnus: "Isn't that like how beginners swim?"
Olympic swimmers: "Am I joke to you?"
He swims breststroke like he is a beginner tho. :D
@@bekenhagyjal7567 Yeah he does, but probably he was never taught how to do it the right way
I think most people learn how to breaststroke first
@@matijadzajevic2664 Sure, it is the most common way to swim
@@fizarezi6741 Generally Europeans learn breaststroke first, Americans actually learn Freestyle first.
I believe EU learns breaststroke the way he swam it so they dont need to learn to breath. Freestyle is easier to learn with less coordination, but is harder to learn to properly breath. So a bit of a toss up which way is better.
Serious props to marte, she's always giving it her all and pushing herself
She can do 4x as many pull-ups as the average(%90) American. Mad props.
@@erikhoryza9068 Us average American MFs can do 0, so that means she can do infinitely more.
Totally. People likely don't realise how impressive one solid chin up is for a girl let alone four.
I don't understand why anyone would question Magnus time, he's a world-class athlete for gods sake.
because illuminati
Probably butthurt Us soldiers
I think people who aren't very active have trouble imagining how much basic fitness and a good muscle to weight ratio matters for running at distances under 5 miles. Any relatively high-level athlete that has a decent muscle to weight ratio will average sub-6-minute miles. I was really annoyed to practice running for a year and have a friend who was a national level competitive swimmer and hates running outrun me by about 30 seconds in a 5k and they were barely winded. I made it in 18:10 and they did 17:36 though I can sprint faster over distances less than 400 meters.
@@tyrioncsgo6229 Many soldiers are gym rats, they can knock out 100+ pushups and 20+ pull-ups but running less than a 10 minute 1.5 miles knocks out 90% and getting under 9 minutes is top 5% or something like that if I remember the averages.
big fax man
Magnus is literally a professional athlete.
Marte is just a legend who is also fit and more importantly has a great personality.
What makes her a legend?
@@Yeet-cy8tz her personality obviously
Y e e t did u watch the vid
Marte is awesome! Love having her on the channel. Super pretty, funny, sweet, and kicks butt!!
No, he retired in 2017.
Don't matter if she fails. She has to remember Magnus is/was a professional athlete and has trained pretty much his entire life. She does better then most of us regular folk watching this would do.
Hell, SHE does better than most us watching this would do
@@tomatodamashi isn’t that what they said
Marte is the peoples champion :) and honestly Marte attempts are more exiting ^^ we all know Magnus is going to do good because as you said he is a former elite athlete :)
a 5:28 mile from someone that doesnt actually train for it is really impressive. You can tell magnus is an extremely high level athlete
it isn't Sorry.
@@RaoulRamsaran I've been training for half a year 6 days a week (if I can) for the distance season and I can run a 5:46 mile. Magnus is a high level athlete and it is extremely impressive especially for a 1.5 mile!
@@RaoulRamsaran so silly
@@RaoulRamsaran Magnus is a high level athlete there is no reason to be defensive as there is nothing wrong with being less fit than him. It's normal.
@@mussdem i wasn't being defensive. I'm just not impressed as i can do the same thing and i'm not an athlete. People who are impressed are overweight and get tired just by walking to the fridge.
massive props to marte for pushing herself so hard in the tests
yea, props for doin the same as a 7year old boy
@@Isaac-kx4km you have a miserable life. You were on a mission to be a pissant in this whole comment section. Just goofy
Yeah I appreciate that she’s confident enough to let so many people watch her ride the struggle bus lol. I could never do it. Go Marte!
Next video: magnus and marte take the SAT
would love to see that
Marte will definitely win she has the big brain 😂
That would be so funny, no one would expect it
😂😂😂😂 great comment
Go for the free practice tests on Khan academy. They have full length ones that will actually get graded lol
Magnus has a hell of an engine. It's obvious that with a little better technique in the pool, he'd have a very competitive swim time.
True the breast strokes were a bit wonky, but is overshadowed by his amazing strength
Dip and tuck that head while shooting into streamline, then remember the dolphin flick at the end of each whipkick. That swim was a show of MAD strength with that resistance.
Yeah it’s crazy to me that he would swim that fast with his head above water the whole time!
Their technique is SO bad and still they get it done and in a pretty good time ! Their determination is inspiring.
Literally HORRIBLE technique and he still had a passable time.
Bro you’re a savage. An 8 minute 1.5 mile after 34 pull-ups is monster!
He usually does 30 pullups with weights. He was just really tired already. Bet he can do 60 if he's fresh. Also his legs were fresh. Pullups don't make you tired to the point where it's hard to run. Especially not a rock climber
@@RaoulRamsaranpull ups do affect your ability to run. People underestimate the role of upper body in running. Proper technique uses the strength of the upper body to drive forward. This is more prominent for terrain racing (e.g. courses with hills etc) but still applies to track.
@@RaoulRamsaran He wouldn't be able to do 60 dude, and what do you mean by "with weights"? How much weight? Where can I see that?
@@cedricrust9953 I saw him do like 40 pretty easily in a video (didnt stop to shake out his hands, which is actually the end of the exercise when administered by Navy SEAL cadre). The swimming and pushups probably made the pull ups harder than usual for him
Marta is not just a regular woman, she's more sporty than almost every girl I know, problem is just that no one should compare himself to Magnus because he performs on another planet n_n
Romain yeah he was/ is a world star athlete 🤙🏻 marta Kick balls👍🏻👍🏻
Marte isn’t disappointing anyone, if anything she’s motivating to watch
She's also doing these tests along side an INSANELY athletic person. She's doing so well.
I agree with you :) she is motivating to watch
How could she? Anything she does in these challenges are way above normal youtube watcher, and she is high spirit and fun to watch. I doubt myself I would top her results in many of the challenges, and I'm not couch potato. Magnus is a world class sport athlete, It's not normal to compare in any physical feat with him. Hell, even Juji lost in almost everything competing with him.
@@ambientoccluser I could do 35 situps and I´m out of shape guy who spends most of his time behind computer, she was probably really tired from the swimming tho
@@JohnBatman111 True, but it's probably hard, since she are depleted after swim, especially because she killed her neck muscles from in proper form of breast stroke. Magnus can endure that even without proper form, and he also trained his abs while climbing. But less powerful competitor could equally achieve goal with good pacing, form, breathing and little preparation. But its nice to see regular fit person coping with these challenges without serious preparation.
The fact that she even completed that swim says a helluva lot. The vast majority of people couldn't even make it to the end of that. So my hats off to her
Marte you are a good sport. I like seeing you in the videos. Please keep doing them. There is no shame in not passing a Seal test. It's great that you did it.
"There is no shame in not passing a Seal test."
I can imagine there are dozens and dozens of soldiers who train a whole year and still don't pass.
Being very unathletic with only going to the gym for back/spine health, I don't blame Marte at all😂
Marte everyone is just happy to see the chemistry between u two. So don’t worry about your performance just go out and try to have a good time.
wade hilliard Double entendre
Agreed! This channel is so good because of the production quality, and the personalities on camera. Not their displays of athleticism (even though it's still incredibly impressive to see)
Though let's be real, there's no way Marte's ever going to not push herself hard in a challenge anyway. Gotta respect that tenacity.
Marte is so cool for being able to do what she does. It's understandable that she feels weak when she's doing it with Magnus. But she's strong and she has a lot of will power and that's just so great to see
Yeah, being compared to magnus all the time has to be difficult! But she still decides to power through and try, and that's why we love seeing her. ^.^
The amount of effort she put into the sit up was seriously admirable. I’m writing this before the 18-minute mark, but that certainly has to factor into why the push-ups were hard for her. When her legs gave in during her resting position, that was probably because her abs were screaming. This girl is strong as hell, physically and mentally.
I couldn't even do 50 Meters in Water. I'm doing Martial Arts, but swimming is so much worse than everything I did...
Hell, I can't even do a single pull-up and she got 4 after doing sit ups and swimming 450 meters!! Thats incredible. The important thing is to improve little by little and be a better version of yourself than yesterday.
Yeah, even when I was at my strongest and fittest after doing strength training at the gym for 16 months I never managed to do a single pull up, but she got four. 99.999% of people can't do what Magnus does. He's basically a superhero. But compared to most women and a lot of men, Marte's a total bamf.
I am a triathlete and I was quite impressed with Magnus' run. Most people can't even run that fast for 500m let alone 2414m.
Marte's was also good, an average of 4:45min/km isn't bad at all.
If Magnus improved his swimming I'm sure that he'd be competitive enough but his technique was far from being good.
Keep up the enternainig videos, I like these challenges a lot.
Oh, poor Magnus! Your stamina is amazing. 🤩 As a former Navy Aircrew Rescue Swimmer I want to give you swimming lessons. You could cut 1:30 off of that swim with one lesson of technique! Amazing job at doing it the hardest way possible. Hahaha! As for your hardworking lady, same, but more so. She showed even more grit by swimming with even worse technique, and yet finishing. If you two were looking to go into the Navy with one of our swimming specialities, we’d take you two under our wings! Determination and poor technique are easy to work with. Good technique and weak will are what we hate more than anything!
Never seen something so complementary yet so insulting.
Club swimmer of 8 years and I agree
Marte just needs to remember that these are for special forces, so seeing Normal Girl get kinda close to passing these is still pretty hype. Plus it's nice to see a contrast against Magnus for the rest of us normal folk :)
They went for the minimum standard most people do a lot more than that
@@FreshlyMinted1 Magnus went beyond competive standards, didnt he?
@@arnefines2356 yeah but competitive is the minimum for special forces though he would fail out of the water training that stuff is for mentally insane ppl
and remember girls aren’t even allowed to be navy seals so she did great considering
@@FreshlyMinted1 true but most people also train for this specific test. I don't think they do that, they are going in blind in a Way which you can see during the swimming part that they are not used to it
My wife loves seeing Marte do stuff as they are sorta similar in build. It encourages her to try things. Keep it up Marte!
Subtle my wife has a great ass flex ;)
Marte Is like an above average fit girl, vs a Super Athlete.! you guys give me so much motivation to be active and strengthen up.!
Swimming is a lot about technique. You can improve your time so much just by streamlining your body position to reduce drag and working on your extensions. After I got a proper swim coach I was literally able to take minutes off my swim time in a matter of a couple of weeks. I get these guys are really fit but a few simple changes would have made that swim test so much easier.
When they mentioned the side breast swim..that’s a way to swim a lot faster and avoid the mentioned neck pain..from an non professionell swimmer who loved to windsurf and spent a lot of time in the sea..
At Magnus' Request, Marta, you are not disappointing anyone. No one expects you to match what Magnus is doing, he has years of training on you. Just keep doing these things with him, and soon enough, they'll have to start calling you extraordinary girl. ;)
PS: Love your videos Magnus. Keep em coming buddy.
Just want to inform you that her name is Mart*e* not Mart*a* :))
@Philodox The majority of people can't do one perfect pull-up , so let's wish good luck with the infernal place that can be CZcams comments for the man above.
@@pierregevelle4873 at least it's not Twitter otherwise this man would not exist anymore
It's also important to recognize that Marte is surprisingly fit/strong for an "average" girl.
@@samwiener7667 And they say death penalty's not here anymore
LOL
marte is probably doing more than most of us would be able to do
sure dude
Her technique is a bit lacking tho, she would be much faster with a proper breaststroke.
One of the best things of Magnus videos with real humans is that real humans give a yardstick. That's why everyone loves the Tom and Magnus collaborations. Marte brings that same energy. You represent all of us! Thanks for keeping it real, Marte!
Also, as a swim coach, Marte's strength on that swim was impressive. "Lifeguard" swimming with your head looking up and forward is one of the toughest body positions because it sinks your hips and creates so much drag. It is the kind of thing coaches give as a "penalty" when athletes are messing around because it is so much harder. She was a beast for powering through!
Not here i tried, I got 68. I'm not bragging but I'm just really happy with what I got
As a lifeguard in b.c the 50 meter head is required for wsi and nls reverts, you need to score under 60 seconds to qualify with most guards getting around 40-50 seconds if that helps benchmark, for a person who doesn’t swim consistently that’s a pretty decent time
Marte brings such energy and enthusiasm to these videos. Huge props to her. So much positivity. And Magnus is always smiling when she's around. Its not always about the performance. She gives her all and who could ask for more
This.
I was in BUD/S class 209 in '96/'97 and something the followers need to remember is that this is the test to get accepted in to BUD/S, but the standards to graduate are MUCH, MUCH higher. Furthermore, the fitness test is the least of your worries while in BUD/S. It's a 6 month kick in the balls where you're on a constant physical, technical, mental, and emotional grind. Most athletes can survive a day or two of BUD/S, but it's the unrelenting day-in, day-out stress that gets people. Most classes lose half the students during Hell Week and another large chunk in Phase 2 during Pool Comp.
yeah, I highly doubt this means youre capable of being a SEAL. This just seems to be a preliminary weed out test. Even BUDS week seems to be designed to test your mental grit more than anything (although, yoi obviously have to be physically fit as well)
Currently these standards only get you a spec war contract to go into training. This includes EOD AIRR SWCC SEAL and there’s one other I’m forgetting off the top of my head. But you’re very right, these are just the standards to get in once you’re in the standards get so much higher and the attrition rates are crazy high.
@@grundy6921 Dive. We went from 58 to 9 before we even got to dive school.
@@Skibbidyboobop shits crazy
@@grundy6921 It was. The instructors in prep(which is now standard before buds/dive school/swim school/eod/ make it their job to see if they can get you to quit. They would hold the piece of paper and a pen right in front of you when you were at your weakest during an evolution and tease you to sign it lol. They were more succesful than I anticipated.
Marte, in a world where most people do everything to avoid discomfort, you continuously expose yourself willingly to confront difficult challenges, and you do it with such contagious joy. You display such rare qualities of courage, humility, and eagerness towards progress. I’ve been damaged by the weight of past failures and it inspires me to see you act upon such a strong mindset. Thank you for being part of these videos.
Agreed 😊
In many ways Marte is more motivation for me to get up and go workout than Magnus. They both have such a positive and encouraging attitude but her embarrassment is so human and makes me feel fine about being embarrassed as well
Ramsey Dewey, a youtuber who is an MMA coach and talks about training and fighting and other random stuff, said this a few days ago, and it has stuck with me.
"learning to train is learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable."
cringe
You should hook up with Eddie Hall for some swimming lessons
Ultimate combo
They need to race
"Hook up"? 👀
YESSSS
Eddie Hall has good technique. Think he was a pretty good competitive swimmer in his younger years.
Magnus you looked insanely pumped after the press ups and pull ups!
And tell marte the reason she is in the videos is because everyone loves her. She's in very good shape for a "regular person" and it shows the huge difference between us mere mortals and people who both have great genetics, mindset and have trained all their life for something.
Keep it up brother
Marte I think it's harder to keep going when you're not hitting the numbers, huge respect for your resilience and the awesome numbers you hit!
Climbing or not, this is still really enjoyable to watch!
She was doing great keep it up marte
It's great to see her doing this stuff with Magnus, I wouldn't even make it half as far as she does.
She did a hell of a lot better than 99% of the commenters would do. (I know she’d stomp my unhealthy ass.)
@@BrandonWestfall 450 meters takes me about 17 minutes
For sure I really enjoy seeing Marte in the videos. You both are great for each other and she’s great for the videos. She always does an amazing job!
Both of you are absolutely incredible athletes! It’s really cool to see her out there giving it her best. Way to go!!!
Magnus being able to take a break during the pull-ups is like the biggest flex i have ever seen
Watch tazio bondo
yes plase watch tazio il biondo
that guy looks like wouldnt have done any sport in his whole life, but is the strongest person i have ever seen
@@lucaandre723 he doesn't need muscles, he has PANTS xD
Magnus: about the breast stroke "Isnt' that how beginners swim?"
Olympic swimming: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
He didn't even do it properly either. His chest was basically vertical in the water because of his head position, which effectively made it way more difficult and definitely gave him a slower time.
@@jaredbobier2844 Yep... Trunks too. When I was a kid, like 10 years old, the boys on swim-team would wear trunks over our speedo because, well, no kid wants to run around in speedos all day... We'd wear the trunks until walking up to the starting boards, then take them off. Well, one day, at a local tournament, I forgot to take my trunks off before a 150m breast stroke heat started... My kid brain panicked because I knew how much they would slow me down and I would surely come in last. So I did the logical thing and shed them midway through the first lap... Swam with more conviction than I'd ever had before and came in 3rd. When I finished all the parents were dying laughing, my coach was fishing the trunks out of the pool with his big toe, and I got a friggin' DQ because I made an improper stroke kicking them off... Still think it was BS that I got disqualified for one improper stroke after providing such entertainment lol! It's one of those memories I wish I could view from someone else's perspective because it must have been pretty damn funny to witness.
@@jaredbobier2844 pretty sure you have to keep your head up in this kind of swim test
It's because in school (Scandinavia) you learn to swim and you start of with breast strokes and after that you progress to the others. I think you have to swim 1200m in school to even get the lowest grade in PE.
Idk why people in this thread expect the rock climber to know anything at all about swimming forms
Well done Marta on competing on the challenges, your effort to participate & give your best is what matters most
Props to you both. It’s incredibly inspiring to watch you try these challenges.
This young Lady might not have made the cut but looks to me like she gave it her all!!! Congratulations and Thank You both!!!
I think only a handful of women have ever passed the test. If any.
Edited: none have made it to BUDS
I think she is in much better fit than the majority of the public. She just underlines how being in good fit is still no match for Magnus.
@@Chris-hz8lj Im pretty sure a woman did not make it into buds yet
@@savrockismyname3859 Ah you’re right I looked it up and I misunderstood a headline I had read some time ago. Edited original comment.
Marte is amazing no matter how she performs, just enjoy seeing her try and be in the videos!!!
My favorite thing is watching the way you guys encourage each other. It’s very satisfying to see
Marte, I love your energy! You’re so genuine and you always put a smile on my face.
I think Magnus swim faster in a pool of chalk
I am a 91 kg male that is "fit" by most American standards... Marte you did better than I could in every event except push ups and pull ups. You are as much an inspiration as Magnus!
So you are really bad.
all you have to do is train a little
@@renanvinicius6036 More likely he has alot of muscle and less endurance
@@filip9564 Also males have a lot more upper body strength compared to women.
The two of you did a great job! Keep the positive attitudes, it is awesome to see you both crushing these challenges or climbing, you are both great inspirations.
Girl you did not fail, you are very courageous. I'm impressed by the 20+ push-ups you did. Most regular women can even do one, in my training sessions girls are allowed to do them with knees on the ground.
Actually, you help a lot in terms of motivation and strengh of will. Good job.
she failed hard
We love having Marte around...she represents a”normally fit” people and women. My 5yr Daughter Lydia, likes seeing her too! Keep it up👍🏼
Lydia is a lovely name
She's a great benchmark, but she also isn't a normally fit person, a bit fitter than most. I think that cames with being with an ex elite athlete, so she pushes herself that bit further.
@@orangew3988 agreed
No she only represent fit women but yeah she has a good energy
@@stodgycone5849 not true. Fit woman mostly takes care of her diet. Marte is well physically able performer. Agreed that regular sports activity would be great for every young woman to do, but the truth of the matter is, it's really not.
14:08 Marte's just dying on the floor and then drill seargent Magnus is like "yes, IMMEDIATELY" 😂
Samuel Pembery
Slave driver.
I really appreciate Marte in these videos and that she does try really hard. Thank you guys for being really inspiring.
We just enjoy seeing you guys trying different things! Don’t worry, we love you no matter how you do, Marte!
Marte is a beast dude, like when they call her "normal" I do not agree. Like don't pressure me to live up to that standard cause I won't she's too fit to be "normal". Marte deserves more credit.
for real. she is already better than like 80% of people
You should have a Norwegian word or phrase for each video so that the whole audience can learn
That would be really cool! Yes please do that.
Hei på deg
Love these videos! Marte, fantastic job! You are strong and brave, but most impressive of all: your humility 😊
great video (: im one week shy of two months since i started climbing and i love it...and watching your videos during this new chapter of my live has made this adventure much more enjoyable . thanks!
Even though Marte failed every test, I feel like she could still beat like 70% of people.
more like 90%
@@JosueHernandez-bp5wj there are more than 10% fit people out there, you should move your fat ass outside sometime
@@JosueHernandez-bp5wj Nowhere near that high.That would mean she would also beat around 40% of men. The discrepancy between male and female physical performance is ridiculous.
Only the most unfit men would be worse than a decently fit woman.
Even 70% is pushing it. She's way fitter than most women. She's probably better than 60% of people.
@@aakashsunil7913 yea, easily better results than 90% of women, but realistically right around 65-70% of people in a similar age range.
Her pull up is really impressive, especially for a girl. I think she can beat at least 80% of the male in the US, given 2/3 of US male are overweight...
Marte is such a warrior. I love her competitive spirit. I mean, she tries to compete with Magnus and by doing that, she gets better than any of us ever could lol.
We're watching Vikings after all
@@khakicam5400 So true! 😂
8:22 for someone who doesn’t really run is bananas…. I trained hard to get an 8:30 on my PT test. I did weigh probably 40lbs more but still crazy to me. Props.
Marte is beautiful, funny and gives her best in each video. Please don't stop.
Beauty should not be the first thing you have to comment on when it comes to women. Lol we have so much more to offer than our looks (I know you might not have meant to be offensive, but it comes across offensive bc you are implying our first/foremost concern is whether we are attractive to the male eye)
@@MI-gu8lq I think he was just listing a bunch of her qualities. Not necessarily in a specific order
SHOUT OUT MARTE ! The Beast!
Magnus just isnt human , its fine .
Makes my lazy ass tired looking at the both of you !
Honestly its fun to see the comparison because I like to believe im good at climbing as i go somewhat often, and Marte is better than me, which is compared to one of the best rock climbers in the world. You are doing great Marte, and I've honestly seen you progress more than I could have dreamed of progressing in such a short time. Never compare yourself to someone as well, because in the end, the only thing that matters is how much YOU progress.
You guys are great to watch, as you encourage and give each other a hard time (at different times, of course). Thank you.
The fact that she is willing to do this with you is awesome. Thank you For The great content.
For someone who doesn't really climb, and still watch the videos it's great to have you in them Marte. You give us "normal people" something to look up to 🙂
Couple of tips from someone who administers this test:
Swim - Side-stroke or Combat Swimmers Stroke are MUCH faster and more efficient.
Sit-ups - Hands must be placed on collarbones and elbows must touch within three inches from the top of the knees.
Pushups - you can only rest in the up position and if your hands come off the deck then the event is ended.
Pull-ups - if you remove any hand from the bar then the event is ended.
Good job!
Out of curiosity, what's the rule on kicking off the wall in the swim test?
Combat strike is only faster if you are inexperienced as a swimmer
@@samguy7587 which they are?
Derrek Gillespie they are, but it can be misleading
@@samguy7587 misleading for whom? Anyone who is already beyond amateur level would know that this advice is not for them
I love how encouraging you are, Magnus !!! 💜💜
I know I'm a few months late to the party, but I enjoy seeing Marte try these challenges with you, and she shouldn't be nervous, no one is judging her giving it her all. Good on you both for trying the PST.
gotta love how magnus is "out of shape" and then goes full greek god mode and does 34 unbroken pullups
For him that's out of shape 😂😂
@@Jake-fj3ob I wish I could be half of his "out of shape" hahaha
He can definitely do something in the 50s fresh
34 is my pr😐😐
@@Bscrooker You just need to train for a couple of years as he did and you're good to go :)
I really enjoy videos with both Magnus and Marte. Don't feel down Marte, you are really doing great, it's just that Magnus is out of this world.
Hahaha yeah, the videos in which Joji participate, even thou he is a body builder he always gets jokingly mad at Magnus because he always lose to him.
I’m enjoying your channel. I’ve been sharing these with my climbing team (6th-12th grade public school members) and they’ve been so excited to share their scores on these challenges and tips they’ve gleaned from the climbing training vids.
Btw-They especially enjoy your girlfriend and her joie de vivre and tenacious spirit.
Thanks!
You both killed it. That's something not everyone could do and it makes me really happy to see you both do it
Hey Marte! I used to love watching Magnus' videos for the crazy superhuman things he can do, now I love watching his videos for the amazing strong female character he introduced. Please don't measure your contributions to the videos in how many situps you can do, you add a whole new layer and level to these videos and you are a true inspiration. (That being said, it is highly impressive how many situps you can do :-D)
3 reasons to watch this channel:
-Markus' camera skills
-Martes giggles
-Magnus' abs
You guys are so cool. Love that you JUST do these tests 😂
I have so much respect for Marte!!! Yes girl, please keep being in the videos!!!
Magnus is an insane athlete. The fact that he can swim and run at that pace, with no serious training, is ridiculous. We already know what he can do on a wall.
I really like the fact that Marte gives all she have in every exercise. Even though she looks disappointed of her self, I thing she's really good. I like these vids !
Seriously, thanks for making and uploading this!
I, for one, am glad to see Marte in these videos. It's helpful for me to remember that Magnus' level is not the norm. So I don't need to feel bad about myself.
First.
Also, @Marte
Magnus is globally known for being crazy strong. The fact that you can stand in front of a camera and the whole world, and attempt the same tasks that Magnus does regardless of the outcome, is beyond impressive. It's always great to watch how you and Magnus interact and we love to watch you grow and improve as you try new things. You should be proud of yourself. I'm sure most of us are proud of you.
Magnus: "Sorry I haven't done climbing videos"
Me: *still wants magnus to go back to skydiving*
also, Marte is great. I don't care how much reps she does or what time she gets. She's a warm person and I just love her confidence.
I love the dynamic between Magnus and Marte. Marte is the BEST! She was really killing it out there.
you guys have a good chemistry and is fun to watch. Keep up the good work
Seeing Marte in these videos is great. It's understandable to feel like she's under performing next to Magnus, but he's an example of a lifetime of performing at a whole other level. Frankly she helps make the videos a little less daunting. She still out performs anything I could manage but it's nice to see someone not just come in at the peak of novice ability in new disciplines.
Keep her coming man, she's a great addition to the videos. Brings a much needed element to the videos.
Well written, and I absolutely agree!
This video inspired me to start pushing myself to workout again.
We all start somewhere.
anyone else just been on a magnus marathon. I have been watching all of the old vlog videos, I really enjoy them
Sameeeee
Marte is such a trooper. Love to see her participate despite comparisons to the athleticism of Magnus. Keep it up Marte! You do better than I ever will!
You do an amazing job your not disappointing anyone. To be honest your showing others to try new things and to try your best you will get better in time no one is perfect your setting a great example for others. I love seeing you in the videos mr meatball you got a good one y'all keep up the great work.
Marte, you are crushing it!
The swimming test is done like this so the soldier is quiet in the water so they dont alert the enemy to their presence. You can also do the combat side stroke.
Just asking what other way they wouldn't be quiet
@@tumeh7410 freestyle stroke, because there would be crazy splashing in the water, butterfly stroke also the same.
Then why not allow swimming on your back, just keep knees below water.this allows for less energy used on floating and more available for fast swimming.
Also efficiency, the side stroke consumes far less energy than the breast stroke and over larger distances is usually faster. Like a runner pacing themselves for a long run rather than sprinting.
"combat side stroke" - God, this made me laugh...
Marta's attitude inspires me.. she's getting better each day
Well done to both. I wouldnt have watched to the very end, but I was enjoying the banter and fun ye were having together.
I wouldnt choose to spend my CZcams time just to watch one guy doing exercises.
Great job 👏👏👍
Magnus: *does 34 pullups* Uhhh, I thought I could do more
Me (struggling to do 1): ...
Same
After knowing David Goggins record is 4040 in 24 hours. That changes your perspective of what is possible.
I felt pretty bad after stagnating at 20 pull-ups but being 14 pull-ups away from a world champion climber isn’t too bad! Granted, he did do the pull ups after most of the other tests though and there’s no way I could do 20 pull ups after max repping pushups
I can do you about 10 pull-ups in about 23 chin-ups and I’m under 18
I can do about 4 pull-ups without training, but i have a naturally low body fat percentage
I love having Marta in the videos to show just how strong Magnus is, I mean she is way above average in strength and then Magnus is that much stronger again. Also, Marta is fun to watch in general, don't be disheartened!
*Marte
Marte gives me life! That determination with those sit ups!
What an amazing personality, never seen her before but it was awesome to see her doing her best, keep it up
some swimming lessons and he could be fast
Please include some lessons for Marte.
I am sad to say, she really needs it.
@@Steelmage99 Really? You came here just to leave a shitty comment? Just....wow
Steelmage99 why would she need swimming lessons when she isn’t going to be swimming
when it comes to sidestroke, everyone needs swimming lessons. you aren't even allowed to to proper breaststroke, let alone freestyle.

We love Marte! Her enthusiasm is all of us, and even though she’s fitter than 90% of us it’s still good to see a normal human for comparison beside Magnus’ ridiculous abilities.
Thank you for participating lady, its truly completing the video. Regardless of destination, it's the process that counts.
😊
Go Marte!! Love seeing you winning at life!!
