- What's up everyone? It's Chris Heria.
I'm in San Diego with the legend himself, Magnus.
What's up, brother?
- It's awesome to meet you.
- Yes, it's been long awaited.
For those of you that don't know Magnus,
he's a pro rock climber,
that's also a beast in calisthenics as well.
I remember when you did that one-arm muscle up,
that was so insane.
Well, considering you actually do
some pretty impossible moves,
that's why I brought you here today.
- Oh yeah. - We're gonna be trying
some impossible exercises. (texts whooshing)
Magnus took me through my first time rock climbing.
How did I do?
- You did great, man.
- Thank you, man. - I mean,
that was insane.
I don't think I've ever had the first timer do so good.
- Thank you so much, bro. I'm honored.
Well, I have a good coach.
If you guys wanna check out that video,
go ahead and visit Magnus' channel.
Make sure you subscribe.
All right, so what are those rings for?
The first exercise,
we're actually gonna be doing (texts whooshing)
ring pushups.
It looks a lot easier than it actually is.
And if you guys have some rings at home,
definitely give it a try
and you'll see how hard it is.
But with every single exercise,
we're gonna be leveling it up.
- So this isn't- - Right.
- as impossible as it gets.
We're actually gonna start with ring push-ups,
but the rings are gonna get smaller, and smaller,
until we're doing it-
- Oh, man. (laughs) - these bad boys.
- I've never tried it this way.
- Let's go for it, man.
Actually, I've never tried it before either.
(upbeat music)
How does it feel? - It does feel okay.
- Scale of one to 10?
Difficulty level?
- Like a three, three and a half.
- What's a one-arm muscle up?
- One-arm muscle up? - It's like a 10?
- For me it's like a nine-
- Oh shit. (laughs) - 9.5 or something.
I don't know. - Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Got me shaking like a stripper over here.
- [Magnus] Yeah. Good.
- [Chris] (exhales) Will get my legs closer together.
(tense music)
- [Magnus] Doing reps, nice.
- (pants) At least three, bro. - (indistinct).
- The balance factor definitely makes it difficult.
But I wouldn't say it's impossible.
We're definitely gonna have to take it to the next level.
- Yeah. What's the next level?
- How do you wanna go? (laughs)
- Do you have anything a little bit bigger than this?
- I do. (both laughing)
If this is a three, then this is like a what?
(texts whooshing) - A five?
- It should be at least- - Or you don't know?
- a five. - This is all you right here.
(ring clacks) - Oh, it's breaking.
(Chris laughing)
I just broke it. - You snapped it.
That's how impossible it is. - I snapped it.
- Here, I got another one.
Guys, definitely have to give this a try at home.
Oh my gosh. (ring clacks)
- Oh, I broke this one-
- You broke it again. - as well.
- Here, have another one. (laughs)
- We'll try on the grass, right?
Hopefully they won't break this time.
- [Chris] Yes, sir.
Sheesh. (gentle music)
(Manus groans)
(bird chirping) (wind whooshing)
- Okay.
On a scale of one to 10, what's that?
- That's like a five or six, I think.
It's hard to see,
but my knuckles weren't touching the ground or anything.
You see the... (upbeat music)
- [Chris] Oh yeah, they're bending. (laughs)
- [Magnus] Nice. Easy.
(Chris exhales)
(ring clacks) - Oh.
- [Magnus] Did it break?
- It just snapped.
All right, guys, this is pretty close to impossible.
Just snapped on my last rep, but we gotta keep this going.
Let's see how impossible it gets.
Level three. World's smallest rings.
(upbeat music)
- I feel like it's cheating though
because my knuckles are still in the ground.
- You earned the Guinness World Record-
- Guinness World Record. - for that.
- [Magnus] Yeah, come on.
Dude, that's insane. (laughs) (Chris groans)
That was close, man.
That was really close. - (laughs) Pretty close.
Three levels right there. Let's keep it moving.
Let's go to the next exercise.
- All right, so the next exercise is dips.
We're gonna start with something that's possible,
and then move up to something impossible.
- I love that.
- All right. - So first one,
just some normal dips.
- Normal dips.
- Technically not normal, 'cause these things- (laughs)
- These are super wide. (laughs)
- They're like 4 feet apart.
- All right.
- Look at that. That looks so crazy.
- Okay. So I would rate that a two maybe.
- A two?
- One and a half to two.
Oh wow.
That's some advanced shit.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, I would give that wide dips,
nice little two, three.
How are we gonna make this harder?
- That for me will be 10 though. What you just did.
- (laughs) No. You got that, bro.
- How about we, like, try to go like that and do a 180?
- Boom. Level two- (texts whooshing)
- 180 dip. - You think that's possible?
- Whoa! (laughs)
Yo, that's crazy.
How hard was that?
- Maybe a 6.5 or something.
Yeah. - Man, dude.
All right, you got that one, Magnus.
- Whoa. As long as one of us does it, it's fine.
- Exactly. Teamwork, baby.
All right, so to make this extra hard, couldn't do that one,
but let's see if I can make it even more impossible.
We're gonna be doing dips with one arm.
- With one arm? How do you do that?
- I don't know. I saw it in a video online.
- You let go of this hand?
- I've seen a gymnast do it, to be honest.
There you go.
Dude, there you go.
Oh, that is pressing-
- There's no way.
That for me, was like a 10.
(upbeat music)
Come on.
Yeah.
(Chris groans) Good.
That's good. - Holy shoot.
Dude, that one was definitely tough.
I'll give that one 8.5, bro.
I think it's time to move on to the next one.
- What is the next one?
- The next challenge coming up,
we're gonna be testing our pulling strength.
You're a beast at pulling,
so this should be no problem for you.
- I've tried this one before actually.
- Yeah? The impossible pull-up.
- Impossible pull-up.
- Well, actually, before we get to the impossible pull-up,
we're gonna take the stages up.
So we're gonna start with an impossible
Australian pull-up. (texts whooshing)
Yo, Magnus, you're a beast, dude.
What the heck, dude? (upbeat music)
What can't you do?
- I will give it like a four, maybe.
- Four to you is like what?
Like a 10 to an average person? (laughs)
- It depends on what it's, I guess.
- What's the technique behind this, huh?
- Kinda twisting it a little bit.
- One's pushing, one's pulling?
- Yeah. - All right.
Magnus says that this is a four.
- [Magnus] Yeah.
- [Chris] I'll let you guys know if that's true or not.
What the hell?
- No, you got it. - This is like a 10, dude.
(both laughing)
I can't even hold my body like that.
(gentle upbeat music)
- Yeah. Come on. (chuckles)
- No. (laughs) - That was pretty close.
It's so strange though, right?
- [Chris] It's such a weird move,
dude. - Yeah.
(gentle upbeat music)
Yeah. Let's...
Nice. Yeah. (laughs)
(stick clanging) - I think that's all I got.
- It's at least a half to one.
You got two half- - Yup.
- that means equals one. - That's some half reps,
half possible.
- Yeah, half possible.
What will you rate that one then?
- Yo, I'll rate that a freaking 10, dude.
(Magnus laughs) - All right.
We're gonna move this on.
We're gonna take it to the real pull-up bar.
Let's see what you got.
- Yeah, this one is easier.
- Oh, that actually is a regression.
(gentle upbeat music)
- Maybe a two. (texts whooshing)
- [Chris] This one easier?
Dude, this thing is slipping and sliding, bro.
(upbeat music)
Oh, yeah. - Yeah.
- Oh, it's sliding.
(both laughing)
- All right. Easy.
There you go. - Yeah.
I definitely have to keep it balanced.
- Yeah.
Like, once you get the rhythm, it's fine, you know?
- Yeah.
- That was easier than the other one.
- That was definitely half as easy, I would say.
But now it's time to go all the way.
We're gonna go for the impossible pull-up.
(texts whooshing) (upbeat music)
Oh!
- Oh. Almost. - That was really good,
dude. - Almost.
No, you did it, dude.
- Are you doing the higher one?
- I mean, I don't know what the (censored)
I'm doing, dude. (Magnus laughs)
Dude, this thing will slide the (beep) off, bro.
Oh yeah, like just to hang here.
- Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Jesus. - That's not bad, man.
- [Chris] Let's go, Magnus.
You got this, bro. (Magnus groans)
- What? - Oh.
- I would say that pretty much counts.
It's not a clean one, but we can move on.
Okay, so the next one is
the ab wheel. (texts whooshing)
I feel like this one is gonna be pretty easy.
- Definitely possible. (upbeat music)
Just roll all the way out.
- Roll all the way out. - All the way back in.
If you could touch your nose on the ground,
I feel like that's pretty legit.
(texts whooshing) (upbeat music)
Here you go. Come on, Magnus.
How hard was it on a scale of one to 10?
- I think it's like a five.
(upbeat music)
Nice.
What do you think?
- My nose dirty? - (laughs) How's your nose?
- No, that's pretty difficult.
I would say...
Dude, if I wasn't always doing that,
I would say that's
pretty much a five, six. - Yeah, maybe...
Six, yeah. - Yeah.
But I mean, (Magnus laughing)
we aren't just doing possible things.
- What is that? - We gotta make this
impossible, bro.
This is gonna be the
next type of wheel. (both laughing)
I really plan on not (texts whooshing)
accomplishing any of these exercises today.
This is really just a video about you,
(both laughing) to show your
feat of strength, bro.
- [Magnus] (chuckles) No way.
- I was about to say- - No way.
- he needs to be in the Guinness World record, dude.
(Magnus laughs)
- Who's idea was this? (both laughing)
I could try on my knees though.
- Yeah. (both laughing)
- You wanna try third challenge?
- We might as well, huh?
I think actually though, this is gonna be easier
because your handle is bigger. (texts whooshing)
- [Chris] Nah, if you can do that, bro, I would be so...
Oh my God.
- (laughs) No.
I think that's like an 11.
(both laughing)
- That's impossible. I'm gonna give that a 20.
Let's move on. - Okay. Yeah.
- All right, we're gonna be starting off with a move
that a lot of people think
is already impossible. (texts whooshing)
That's gonna be the human flag.
- Oh wow. - And if we can do it,
we'll just keep it going. - Yeah.
- I don't even know if I can do the human flag.
- Oh, we're about to find out.
(upbeat music)
I definitely believe you got this.
I don't know. Is this how you do it?
You like, does a badass one. Hell yeah, dude.
What?
Yes, sir.
Damn, you didn't have- - Is that good?
- to hold it for that long.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah. - All righty.
- All right, that's easy. (metal pole clangs)
- We passed.
So, take this to the next level,
you just gotta do pull-ups like that, bro.
- So you have to do like this?
- [Chris] Pretty much.
- Okay. Wow.
I guess you have to be- - You got that.
- pretty narrow then to be able to...
- You gotta be- - 'Cause if it's too wide,
you can't...
- Oh yeah, that's true.
You got this. Come on, Magnus.
You got this, bro.
Oh, you definitely got that.
- Aah! - Oh.
That's a half rep right there. - You go in, but...
- All you do is push your leg out.
If you trained that realistically for real
and we're not just messing around,
you definitely get that.
This one's for you, bro.
I gotta get at least one today.
(upbeat music)
- Nice. (clapping)
That was it, man.
- Was that it? - That was it.
- You did it. - Well, half rep. (laughs)
- No, no. You did it. - Thank you, man.
- Definitely, you did it.
- I appreciate you, dude. - Yeah.
- Yeah, I was pretty stoked about that one.
You know what?
I think we're ready for the last and final impossible move.
Are you ready?
- Yeah. What is it?
- For the last one,
we're gonna be doing one-arm pushups
and we're gonna be working our way up to make it impossible.
Are you ready for that? - Oh yeah.
I'm ready for that.
- So the first one is just literally
just the one-arm pushup.
I'm sure you can do that. - Okay.
- There we go. (texts whooshing)
Sheesh. That's easy.
How hard was that on a scale of one to 10?
- I'd say four and a half.
(upbeat music)
Nice.
- (pants) There we go.
Now legs together, bro.
- I'm gonna keep my arm like you did too, behind my back,
like that. - Mm.
Dang! (chuckles) Okay. - Like this.
- That's the way you do it.
Holy...
Okay.
And with the left arm.
Three, let's go.
Balance si so much- - It's harder.
harder, you know?
And it's like even more weight onto that arm.
For those of you watching at home,
definitely give that a try.
Try it with your legs open, and then put your legs together
and see how much harder it is.
I guess I'll switch up my arm now.
(Chris exhales) (Chris groans)
Dude, this arm is so fatigued.
- Yeah. (both laughing)
(upbeat music)
- [Magnus] Nice. Easy.
(upbeat music)
Nice.
- Just one more? - Yeah, one more.
- Wow. - There you go. Nice.
- Aah! It's the balance, bro.
- Yeah. - All right.
Now that was just a warmup, to be honest with you.
- Yeah, I'm excited to see what you have in store for us
for the next one. (Chris exhales)
- This last one's gonna be pretty impossible, bro.
- Yeah? - Yes.
We're gonna be doing explosive one-arm push-ups.
Now, you can do this any way you want with your feet,
but as long as you just explode, tap your chest,
whatever you want- - Tap your chest?
- just get off the ground.
(Magnus exhales) Let's go, Magnus.
(hand thuds) What? (chuckles)
Yo, you gotta hop
on that one, bro? (Magnus laughing)
- I slapped my chest so hard. (laughs)
- No, you went like three feet, dude.
(hands thumps) (Chris groans)
Yo, that's some explosive energy drop.
How hard was that?
- 7.5, I think.
It's pretty hard for me actually, yeah.
- Is it? - Yeah.
- That was gonna hard for me too, dude.
(hand thuds) - Yeah, it was really good.
- Man, that looks crazy. (all laughing)
- [Chris] Switch out the other hand.
All right, here we go.
(hand thuds)
- Yeah. (chuckles)
- [Chris] God.
Okay. - So what would you
rate that one?
- (exhales) I don't even know, dude.
That was just hard.
I'll say it was definitely like a seven.
But I would love to get some reps up on that.
But you know what, Magnus,
it was an honor to do it with you.
And thank you, guys so much for watching
and joining us in the park and having a little bit of fun.
And like I said before, if you guys haven't already,
definitely check out Magnus.
This guy is an absolute beast.
Magnus and I talked,
we're gonna start collaborating a lot more together
'cause we're at the rock climbing gym,
and everybody knows like both of us.
- [Magnus] Yeah. And I've been following you forever, man.
- It's crazy, likewise, man.
We have a lot of the same fan base,
and I feel like calisthenics and rock climbing
overlaps very nicely.
So this is gonna be the first of many series
with Magnus and Chris Heria.
If you guys wanna see more of that,
definitely make sure to subscribe to both of us,
and we'll see you
next time. - Next time.
- Mad love. Peace out.
