Incredible video Emil! The production quality is so good and you keep the viewer so interested in whats next!! It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you so much for the many shoutouts throughout the video 🙏🥹 Your performance in this competition blew me away so to say the least! I think you could definitely become the king of grip if you wanted 👑 Well done man 👏

Man casually broke the world record by whole 15 kilos and made it into a 15 second fragment, a legend

Your bravery in choice of footwear wear was almost as impressive as your grip strength.

As a strongman fan, it's really interesting to see how your approach varies from theirs? In a lot of contexts (particularly with big lifts) if a strongman fails the first attempt they've spent so much energy that they rarely succeed on the second or third attempt. But there are a lot of instances here where you tried something, failed, adjusted, tried again, and succeeded, which was nice to see

"good lift!" guy in the background is my new favorite motivational speaker

I love that you acknowledged each "good lift" like it was a compliment, rather than a statement of passing your attempt.

man you did incredibly well i bet a lot of these big dudes were looking at you like "wtf man" lol

I have such a deep respect for the dudes who know their limits and don't push themselves for certain lifts if they try it and can't do it, because that mindset can get you permanently injured if you're not careful.

There's all these beefy guys surrounding you, and there you are, this comparative twig... and not only are you doing better than average, everyone was always so supportive. It's nice to see. And like, not harshing on anyone here. This was wholesome.

I love how welcoming and supportive the strongman community is.

When Theo said "You won the strongman competition dude." I think he meant that shit genuinely, at least in his mind. He seemed super stoked for you and with good reason. What a showing man. Takes guts to go up there with dudes twice and three times your size and genuinely compete. You fuckin killed it dude.

UKposts algorithm bringing me this Gem. Brilliant video and the whole event seems to be filled with brilliant supportive people.

Your relative strength is actually crazy, makes me want to start rock climbing

I’m glad they acknowledged your “pound for pound” achievement, because it really shouldn’t go unmentioned that your lifting just as much as these guys while weighing half as much. If there was a dead hang test you would without a doubt get first.

Casually breaking a lifting world record by 15kg is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Got a new sub man.

It's always cool when athletes from other sports can kick butt in specialist competitions like this. Weight adjusted you were doing incredible. Impressive in its own right, this also gives me extra appreciation for climbers at the top levels. Strong is strong. Inspiring!

My back hurts just by watching this. The whole community is amazing

Reason why these big men are so chill and friendly is because they don't have anyone to prove anything to apart from themselves. Such a wholesome bunch. Theodor Mar is a super fun cuddly polar bear.

That is unbelievably impressive, man. You not just participating but actually competing with the giants is crazy good. Great work.

I’m in my garage. Watching this shit like it’s a football game cheering for you and shit dude. This was amazing. I’m gonna make my seven year old son watch this. He needs to see what your resolve did for you. Way to go man.

the going back for the 92 dumbbell was so good, i have no idea what im watching but i am so entertained by this video. you’re doing amazing !

cant believe you held 150kg in each arm bro, that's crazy.

I've never seen you before, no idea why UKposts suggested this. Wildly entertaining and well done!! So awesome to watch!

This just appeared in my reccomended im so glad it did, was very fun to watch i love everyone cheering you on and they all seemed very friendly, I'd love to witness this competition it seems like a great time

Never was interested in climbing nor powerlift, got recommended this. This is an amazing introduction to you and this world. Really well done !

The community is extremely supportive to the point they arranged a special reward “pound to pound” just for you. I really respect that 🔥

I haven't watched a single video of yours before but i was definitely rooting for you the whole way through.

Im so glad UKposts brought your video to me, what an impressive job! I love how you showed other competitors as well, a true sign of respect.

As a 6'5" 290lb aspiring strongman myself, I just want to speak a bit about the extremely positive reception and experience you had.. in my personal experience, the strongman community really is one of the most welcoming and kind fraternities on this entire planet. The support and appreciation that everyone shows each other honestly brings me to tears sometimes.. I often think about the way people treat other in the real world, and I wonder why so many people are so rude and uncaring towards each other. I think about all of the people that are rude and condescending towards each other without a second thought. I don't know what it is with some people.. I always come back to the same old expression that "hurt people hurt people". I'm a big, strong, scary looking guy and even I am not exempt from it.. Out on the street, nobody dares to disrespect me, but in my professional life even I deal with it all the time. People think they can treat you any type of way when they realize you have built a life that you're proud of, they know you wouldn't dare to blow it all up over something so stupid. When you're big, some people just can't help themselves from sizing you up and trying to get a rise out of you. I try to remind myself that the only reason people do this is because they're hurting too. They don't know what to do with all of that pain they carry around and it literally becomes toxic inside of them. Eventually it just spills out. I just wish people could be as a kind and supportive towards each other like the strongmen. Sorry for the rant.

The amount of power in that little frame is incredibly impressive, you beat huge people who train in strongman. It's impossible not to respect what you accomplished. 👍

This randomly came up as a recommendation for me. Watched the entire video. Good stuff.

First video I've watched of yours, and it was excellent. Not only are you a super impressive athlete, but the way you gave credit and publicity to your other competitors, the competition organisers and sponsors was really refreshing. Sure I won't be the only new subscriber you gain from this video, but just wanted to let you know that this was an excellent watch!

Dude being able to lift 95kg which is well past your body weight with that insane grip is crazy!!! You are a beast!!

Breaking the world record by 15 KG for your wheight class in the 2" raptor challenge was an absolute beast mode... Imagine if you had bigger legs... I wonder if you could have gone 5 kg more... Very Impressive! Rgds A Danish neighbour! :)

THEN YOU HEAR "Can i Clean Here"

I love this video. It’s almost impossible to sit down and watch a 5 minute music video let alone 30 mins straight for me. I watched the whole thing and I love your genuine attitude. Theodor was great too

Climbing is about grip strength to body weight ratio. I used to climb and work at a climbing gym. It was fun watching big muscular guys come in thinking that they would crush it only to flail miserably on fairly easy bouldering problems or top rope routes. This video is a testament to the strength and efficiency that rock climbing develops.

Haha that was so fun to watch. Normally these "climber vs. strength dude" videos are a bit forced and awkward but this was so wholesome, entertaining and exciting. Thanks for the great content.

Really solid stuff ! Glad that UKposts recommended this honestly. I find this super interesting and I don't even really lift anymore.

You set the bar very high! This is my first video. Subscribed. That was freaking amazing.

What a great community. Competitive but supportive. That climber is crazy strong for his size, Great job.

21:42 Calmly saying “I had a large doubt in my mind” and then cutting to you shaking your head and saying “help” had me laughing out loud. Great vid and great lifts!

Mad respect to you man for taking on this competition and besting almost everyone on a couple of events. Subbed!

Dude! That was so freaking awesome to watch! Great job!!!

Excellent job! FYI - The almost passing out after the Farmer's hold isn't from exhaustion. It's from the massive/instant blood pressure adjustment

Watching you lift all those rocks while wearing sandals really put me on the edge of my seat. Glad you still have all you toes XD

This video made me smile a whole lot, great stuff!

This was such a good wholesome video. Such a good and welcoming community plus you've managed to earn theses guys respect for really giving it a go and surprised them also. 5⭐

Pound for pound best lifter is first place of the whole thing in my opinion. He not only doesnt have the muscle mass of these other guys but his hands are like half the size. Imagine if you scaled him up proportionally? He would break serious records. Incredible

Seeing you push yourself for that 88kg was crazy. Earned huge respect

So great to see the friendliness between you and Teddi. He's a staple in Iceland's Strongest Man event and has always exuded a friendly and wise aura. He's one of my favourites.

Wow! Amazing that you put yourself out there in this way, very inspiring. And congrats as you did really well!

Bro wtf. Insane strength. The fact you’re hanging in there with people double your body weight makes you the winner in my eyes

Watch the one woman do the farmers hold, she is a beast! wouldve loved to see all the other competitors. Great content!

Well done man, amazing work!

Im glad they have a honorable mention for best pound for pound. I feel each competition should think about having this.

Is it just me or is every strong man like the nicest and humblest person, I love this kind of sport

That was amazing result, and very fun video to watch, thank you.

It so cool that you go into something like this and blow everyone's minds but remain so humble about it and respectful to the guys who train strongman and grip strength exclusively. Props

Pound for pound that says a lot about your strength. Well done. Congratulations

I spend entirely too much time watching UKposts videos and don’t even know what rabbit hole I went through to get to this video but without a doubt this is the best video I’ve watched in quite a while. Good job matching up with the big boys in this competition. You certainly earned their respect and my admiration.

That's awesome dude, very cool watching you all do this

Really motivating. Thanks for sharing this :)

Your body weight to lift ratio sets you well above your competition! Outstanding 🤩

I actually figured that the rocks would be your worst, given how it was a "how many" not "how heavy" since rock climbing is like 90% choosing the correct holds once youre strong enough to hold your weight and a lot of those rocks looked like pretty bad holds for me, you did amazing on that in comparison to what i would do.

Super Impressive mate. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Congrats man! Really awesome work out there!

You literally won the best award. Congrats brother. You are incredibly strong

10:35 I love the way you find the best way to grip each rock, clearly your rock climbing experience helped here! Very quick and efficient.

Amazing! Good on you, man!

i've never watched a video like this and i'm glad youtube recommended it to me. cheers!

It would be interesting to hear how far behind you in the pound for pound competition the second place winner was. You must have crushed in it.

That is really cool how your targeted grip training beat all these goliaths who presumably train it a little but likely prioritise more standard lifting exercises to build huge muscles. It's also really cool how it demonstrates that a good climber can support more than their whole bodyweight in just their fingers on either hand which sounds obvious when you see a climber in action but I never really thought about how crazy that is.

I don't know why this popped up on my YT suggestions but I couldn't stop watching. Well done sir! You are a beast!

That was so fun to watch, well done to all involved :D

It was so fun to see this whole "who is this wild card man", transform into, "You have it boy, come on!" in the time span of a couple of hours! Liked and subscribed!

Dude your grip is really really good, especially the inch dumbbell lift was insane. Are you going to compete in more grip competitions?

That video was so freaking Entertainment! Thank UKposts to putting it on my front page! 🙌

Great effort and fantastic results. Incredible grip strength

That was fun to watch! Challenge Magnus to some of these lifts, he’s dabbled too.

Great stuff! I'm sure you're aware of Yves Gravelle. He's living proof that rock climbing could benefit greatly from armlifting. A collab with Yves and Magnus would be amazing.

I don’t know how this video came onto my feed, but it was a very enjoyable watch, super impressive!

You honestly so cool for this man

You look so damn tiny there, it is unbelievable what you managed to lift! 😄

Theodore is such a freaking beast and a gentle giant too, look at that smile after crushing the farmer’s lift

Congrants man i was cheering for you big time

My favorite part about these kinds of events is how supportive everyone is. Like, you're competing against everyone, but everyone cheers for you to do as good as you can go.

Many climbers do well in Grip Sport. Carter Colleaux of Canada came 3rd overall in the King Kong Grip Challenge (probably the biggest grip competition) and he's in the 83kg class. Yves Gravelle is another stand-out. You should enter King Kong in 2024, if there are no venues in Sweden there definitely will be in Finland. 110% BW Inch lift is outstanding.

I used to weigh 145 lbs. I was in the moving and storage business. Moving safes, pianos and other heavy stuff. Now I am 123 and weaker. Grip strength fail. If you are keeping strong safely folks, do not stop like I did. At 69, I know I can do better. Thanks for the video!

You did great. Really enjoyed the video

Juust one of the nicest videos to watch. exciting, unexpectedly wholesome and heartwarming at the same time. Got some good pullers there

Their faces were priceless after that last lift. They all were very impressed

Trying to hold 80-100 LB , not kilo, dumbbells to do shrugs with kills my hands so bad. I can’t imagine the calluses you have being able to literally double that in your grip strength. Insane .

I was smiling the entire time! Way to go crushing it bro 💪🏽 Please do a follow up in a year and go train those specific lifts and do a review comparing the two

Thats amazing bro you did great competing against those giants

You are an absolute beast. To do these events with zero training and to excel is just incredible. It shows how world-class climbing is as a fitness category. The problem with these events is that the bigger and stronger you are, the better you will do because the weights are relative to your body size. To finished ninth against guys who are twice your size is off the charts incredible. They should have weight classes and then you will walk out with many gold medals. Well done! (Frankly, winning best pound for pound lifter means you are truly the strongest at the entire event!)

That was absolute banger of a video. You did impossible things man, you definitely made a big impression on those big guys. But as you said, strongman community is just positivity and reinforcing one another. I'm so glad I clicked on this video!

What I appreciate is that even though this competition is heavily biased towards maximum strength, all the guys there are totally respectful and cheering you on to push records. I’d love to see them extend to add a few things that do not favor bruit force (like a hanging endurance, where higher weight and size works against the individual)

No clue how I stumbled upon this, but I loved it! Subscribed.

I’m a rather small woman weighing like 115 -120 lbs soaking wet, who can’t lift more than like 80lbs 😂. But I always feel so overwhelmed trying to lift heavy. I wish I could be in a community like this. They all were so nice, kind and accepting. My local gym is not like that and they will rush you off the machines if your struggling 😂. Maybe since it’s a competition the vibes are just different but I loved watching this.
