World's Strongest Man VS Rock Climbing

There's something pleasant about this channel, no gimmicks, no forced wacky outtakes, no jarring editing, just an extremely talented individual teaching others about his passion. Its great.

I love how there is NO ego by both, but especially by someone (Eddie) who is considered to be the strongest man in the world ( or one of them, not to insult others) and being comfortable enough to show on camera his limitations and weaknesses. This is actually inspiring.

I love how passionate Eddie is about learning new movements and you can see that he is an professional athlete with great body control. Crazy to see such a heavy guy climb so good on the first day!

Mad respect to Eddie for being a real athlete and doing this kind of stuff. That is A BIG GUY to be climbing. He did way better than I thought he would and he wasn't wimping out

"This guy used to carry rocks for a living but will he be able to climb them?" That last introduction punchline was top-notch! Very good job!

It looks awkward, but the amount of commitment required to put 170kg on a toe smear with clown shoes is impressive. Mad props to Eddie.

What I love the most about this collab is how easy Magnus makes everything seem and how Eddie looks like he's constantly about to make the whole wall fall with him

You can immediately tell that Eddie is just a born natural and professional athlete. He manages to do well even in a sport that should be anathesis to him.

I'm absolutely floored by how well Eddie climbed these walls. Such incredible displays of strength.

Eddy is super impressive for his first time at his size! He's obviously strong, but he picks up technique fast and his perseverance is off the charts!

As a small and pretty light guy I have always found rock climbing to be relatively easy but seeing a big heavy guy do it really makes me appreciate his effort and determination. It can't be easy when you're 170kg lol

Genuinely impressed Eddie managed to do some of these moves (I even doubted he'd get that sit-start) but he actually showed quite a good natural, intuitive climbing ability. Good stuff.

I am STUNNED Eddie is as good a climber as he is. So encouraging to watch a crowned world strongest man have doubt, then prove himself wrong repeatedly.

I think Eddie teaches us alot about strong men. To lift yourself (170kg) up a wall without much or any experience is really inspiring.

Big props to Eddie. Really gave it his all and was honestly so impressive for a first climb

Eddie killed it. I remember the first time I went climbing, I was struggling worse than him and I was easily 100kg less. I'm very happy your channel is becoming more popular, can't wait to see what new guests you bring on!

I love that as Eddie points to the guy climbing and says "in about an hour that's going to be me" the guy falls off the wall. Talk about timing!!!!😂😂😂

The guy who got me into powerlifting and the guy who got me into climbing and my two favourite things no way 😭

This is a collab I never expected and I LOVE it!! I know Eddie is extremely strong, but this insane! Never expected him to be this good at climbing. He really deserves the "worlds strongest man" title. Mad respect for both of you!

I don't think people realise how fit this man is as well as strong, to shift that weight takes some stamina!! Well done Eddie mate didn't expect you to get half as good as you did 😂😂

This is probably the funniest co-climbing video you've made. Impossible that 170kg can do that but Eddie never gives up. The way he climbs with his body is the same I am climbing with your bodyweight. So amazing to see what he can do and it is always amazing to see how you fly up the walls without almost any effort.

Seeing a guy that big climbing is insane. Mad props to Eddie

I enjoyed this, the strongest man wasnt cocky, he was eager to learn and was impressed with Magnus. Just goes to show how different sports bodies are!

Magnus is so good at bringing on non-climbers from different disciplines and introducing them to the sport. It's honestly impressive and seems like a good way to grow the sport.

What a great pair of personalities. Very fun to watch you two together, and see two different examples of maximum human capability.

This was so much fun to watch! Eddie is a natural climber. I hope he keeps climbing because I would love to see a part 2 with his insane progression! I wonder if he could have even climbed a little harder with smaller shoes.

Something about you is so wholesome man. I really enjoy watching this kinda content. I’ve never climbed a single gym in my life and half the time have no idea what you are talking about but you make very interesting videos and I love watching them. Don’t quit anytime soon man I appreciate what you do for the community

Eddie is such a class act. He always goes for it regardless of how unnatural it is for him. This is an awesome colab for sure.

Honestly Eddie's ability at rock climbing is incredible even without the size he's carrying.

That someone as big as Eddie was able to climb half as well as he did is amazing to me. He really deserves his World's Strongest Man title, I think. And as others have said, Eddie's tenacity and attitude are commendable, as well. Thank you for doing this, both of you.

Dude you’re living a lot of peoples dreams. You get to meet a lot of great people and you genuinely are there to learn and enjoy the experience. It doesn’t feel like the show is about you but more about the people and what you are doing. Good stuff man, stay true to yourself!!

Most of the strongmen competitors I know are pretty athletic overall. Good on Eddie for giving this a go, it’s tough even for people half his weight

OMG, this was great! Seeing Eddie doing the moves and getting farther than expected. Brought a smile to my face :)

Magnus, obviously you are an incredible and inspirational climber, but I have to give you props for your video productions. Perfect length, great sound mix, and interesting and fun content. I'm always happy to watch the latest Magnus Midtbo video.

That's the combination we didn't expect but definitely enjoyed. Eddie is such an easy-going guy and the whole video was super nice!

HE’S actually really good for a first timer - the guy just excels at anything he does. Respect.

I have a feeling Eddie is one of those people that is good at everything physical.

Its beyond me how Eddie can do this with that weight, he is SOOO strong!

He's got to be my favourite personality that you've had on your channel. What a fun dude to be around! Loved the vid

You've done a great job finding likeable people to join you in these videos. Eddie has a great personality, I'd watch more of his climbing adventures.

Eddie and Magnus make such a fun duo, they were both so chill and light hearted, and it was cool seeing Eddie attempt stuff he thought might be outside his abilities and didn’t worry about looking good. It was really impressive how much we WAS able to do and watching Magnus coach him through it was really cool.

That was so much fun to watch! If I ever ran in to that man in a dark ally I would run...or at least try to run as I have trouble walking. He was so humble for what you do Magnus I will bet that he adds climbing to his work out because he found muscles that he doesn't use. Eddie seems like such a gentle giant, you both would be a pleasure to know!

It is so sick seeing you include Eddie in your videos Magnus! You are both so strong, it is fun watching the two of you climb. Thank you for showing us how things are done.

Impressed Eddie was able to free hang at 370lbs as well as he did. Incredible strength.

Amazing content, both of you are big names in your sports, and it's awesome to see you work together like that.

This is so amazing to watch, and you can see just how STRONG Eddie is! He's a HUGE guy, and the fact that he's been able to make such progress on the walls shows not only how strong he is, but also that he's a profressional athlete with an attitude that doesn't let him give up!

ive been climbing for 4 years and im still having a little bit of a problem with crimps I've been practicing on my slopers and seeing you do it motivates me to go to the rock climbing gym

You always bring super nice content Magnus. And this is no different. Always liked Eddie. But there's some really wholesome about seeing this huge man climbing. Loving it

As a recreational lifter and climber, I can confirm, it's not easy being good at both. In constant turmoil as to how big my legs should be 😄🦵 Followed both you guys for years now, love the content of both ❤️💪

Hey Magnus, just wanted to thank you for doing content like this showing people outside the normal climbing body type having fun climbing. I started watching you 8 months back and because of you started climbing 7 months ago. Your videos around that time with Isaac really got me hooked as I've always been very underweight. Climbing is the first time in my life I feel like I am working hard at getting good at a sport and improve my body for me, and not just doing typical gym to bulk up for everyone else. It's also the first time in my life I've been able to bulk real mass over a consistent time and am now about 20 lbs heavier than I've ever been before. Any day I am not too sore to train you can find me sitting in front of the Kilter board at my local gym, and I'm loving every second of it. So thanks again, and I hope one day I can run into you at a climbing gym and shake your hand in person.

After watching your videos for a few years, I am now a member with my family at my local climbing gym. Thanks Magnus!

I AM shocked by how good he is for his size and muscle mass. This is incredible and an amazing video

Dude is an absolute UNIT! Shoutout to Eddie for being such a good sport and getting out of his comfort zone. Cheers

This was awesome to watch. Loved the humor and Eddie did go hard, mad respect!

Eddie was very impressive. It is no joke hauling 170kg up a wall. Great episode as always.

His focus and familiarity with his own body really shows by advancing so quickly on his first day.

Amazing to see two channel people I been watching for a while come together like this. MAJOR PROPS to Eddie Hall for doing all this. Not easy for anyone, especially a man of his size and weight. Hard on them knees and legs, but he did it ^

Really interesting watching Eddie climb - he seems to instinctually keep his arms pretty straight, which is maybe not surprising. Given that he was a high-level swimmer before becoming a strongman, he has a very well-rounded athletic background and good body-sense.

Pretty amazing. I knew his grip strength was obviously through the roof but I expected the holds to be a little less forgiving. Holding his body weight on those blue holds on the first try was pretty damn impressive 😂

I think this just shows how insanely strong strongmen are, it's difficult to gauge if you're not into lifting and have a load of numbers thrown at you. Have to say, Magnus should be wearing a shirt with "Beast" on it too!

Cool to see! I weigh about 120 kg myself and its pretty tough. I used to weigh 100 and the difference weight makes in climbing is just crazy.

Wow didn't expect Eddie to be such a good climber!!! Incredible episode

That's ridiculously impressive. Imagine someone with that mass pulling some of those moves off. I think it's the brute strength and strongman grip element.

I love how patient and calm Magnus is with explaining everything to Eddie, an amazing coach to a beginner like Ed.

wow, this guy is really aware of his body, his muscles. His first climb and he can hang well from his arms, swing really well, use his legs.. that's amazing for a beginner! I am impressed. I wish I was this good at my first climb!

Crazy Performance 👍 I really hope Eddie dont get injured by falling down or jump to hard in his knees 🙏❤️🥳

I went indoor bouldering for the first time this weekend thanks to the inspiration from this channel. For the last climb I attempted, I flashed a V2 which I felt pretty good about!

You two together is gold! I’d love to see you two doing some bits! Like take Magnus for a ride in eddies tank!! 😂 thanks to you both ✌🏼

with his weight he is still showing how great athlete he is and everyone who tried climbing knows he did awsome. Thank you for that video guys!

Man, this has to be my favourite episode ever. They have such good chemistry. You can sense that Magnus is a bit on his guard around a big star like Eddie, but they seem to have hit it right off. And Eddie is such a good sport to Magnus' encouragement and very subtle teasing. Despite being simply intimidating physically, he's likeable to the degree of being cute. In a bigmouthed, bighearted, french bulldog kind of way. Remember, a bulldog that still could involuntarily crush you without noticing it. I was actually scared Magnus might get pancaked by Eddie simply rolling over at 17:35, forgetting he has invited a giant to the gym. Also I'm surprised that Eddie knows virtually nothing about climbing and has never tried it before. And even more surprised how well he does given that and his weight. You can tell he is absolutely up for any challenge. What a great match. So, now for the rest of the video.

These two guys do all exercises with a lot of sympathy and complement each other very well although they come from very different disciplines. nice to watch

Its crazy seeing such a massive man climbing a wall like that, insanely impressive

This was seriously amazing to watch! Eddie is a true beast

This guy is great, love his personality! And I also love that, as great as Magnus is, he doesn’t look down on anyone’s climbing level at all

1 thing about eddie is he puts 110% into everything. Magnus is such a good teacher really enjoyed this video thanks guys

What a genuinely nice guy. I think what impressed me more than Eddie's sheer strength was his willingness to attempt something he knew would be a real challenge for him, and to keep going and learning and always trying to improve. No wonder he was the World's Strongest Man with such a great mindset. Whilst I will never be a strongman or a rock climber, seeing things like this does inspire me to work to be a better version of myself and be happy with my personal growth, however small it might be, rather than comparing myself against others.

Honestly, big props to Eddie for doing so well. That's a whole lot of human going against gravity 😅

I remember doing rock climbing with rope in highschool. Watching Magnus do this makes me want to do it again, I really did enjoy doing it back then.

Wow, he did so well on that first attempt for blue! Imagine how strong he would have to be to do that at 170 KGs!

Holding his bodyweight on some of those holds is VERY impressive. Well done.

i'm really impressed, didn't expect him to perform as well as he did.

Eddie is a phenomenal athlete. A man his weight and size making some of these climbs is just amazing. Much respect.

I read comments about people being amazed with Eddie and how he managed to be better than expected so I went in with high expectations for him. He still exceeded them by far! What his shirt says is 100% true :D

You mentioned "locking the grip". I was a stone mason for 6 years or so, and I experienced the same thing through that work. I don't have high squeezing strength, but I can keep my hands locked with a high amount of resistance behind them. I've never been rock climbing; maybe it translates?

You guys are such a lovely duo! Hoping for more of this collab some time soon

Dude he did pretty damn good bouldering for the first time, especially with that swing hold

That was really impressive stuff Eddie. I was on the edge of my seat for that first blue attempt, starting low at the floor.

As someone who started rock climbing like 3 weeks back, I was absolutely blown away by Eddie. Mad lad. This is so much harder than it looks especially the 30 seconds hold at the end. Also their sense of humour is on point!

I love watching Eddie do anything. His world strongman achievement against the giants shaw and thor in their prime was ridiculous and should be recognised in this country far more than it is… 💪

Eddie , the beast , the force emaning from this giant piece of man would be enough to make Darth vader shiver in his boots , what an impressive guy he is , excellent job . and also awesome video magnus , top climbing content creator of our era no doubt

I'm pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of Eddie! Very good and entertaining video.

Eddie is undoubtedly one of the most impressive people ever born.

For as huge of a guy Eddie is, it really looks like he has good instincts. I'm curious how far he can take himself climbing.

Magnus, I want to Thank You for this video. You are the second person to give me the confidence to learn climbing by having someone like Eddie on your channel. I've been losing weight and he's about 45 kg or 100 pounds more than I am. And Thank You as well Eddie. You are definitely a beast!

13:29 you can see how competitive he is,that was amazing.I dont do any climbing,but man,that looked hard af.

As a passionate yet poor climber id love to spend a week with Magnus and see how much better I could become. Loved this video dude!!

Eddie mentioning Francis is the purest thing. What a fun video! Hope to see you two together again for something, great dynamic.

Absolutely stunned Eddie was able to get off the floor on the blue run!

As a long time climber, and fan of Magnus and this channel I just wanted to say that I miss the climber's climbing videos. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy all the newer content - especially as it has certainly given public reach to the accessibility and awesomeness of climbing. Its just that as a climber, I would love to see a return of some strict hard bouldering videos. Personally I'd love to see a collaboration with Eric Karlsson bouldering for a crazy difficult set by Nikken - but I would also just love to watch a solid 30 minutes of strenuous bouldering, outdoor, in a gym, or even on a kilter board. Well here's my hope for that to come true! Thanks for all the good climbing content over the years!

Haven't even finished watching yet, but I'm having so much fun watching Eddie doubt, swear, try anyway, and succeed. Life lessons from elite athletes of all shapes and sizes. Good one, Magnus!
