Hang 100 seconds for $100 Challenge  VS  Pro climbers **World Record?**

So we're finally going to try the 100 hang second challenge for $100. What is the name of the challenge, Pete? Hang 100 seconds for $100. Yes. This challenge, or scheme as some may call it, is to hang for 100 seconds on a spinning bar. You pay $10 to partake and you win $100 if you complete it. The spinning bar was not easy to find, but we recently saw Browny's video where he tried this on his channel and we wanted to do the same. But we had to use a kind of different setup. Do you have $100 for me if I do it? I don't because I'm pretty sure you're going to do it actually. But the tricky part was to find a bar for it because it's supposed to spin. So we came up with this solution. This is a bar that you're supposed to mount to a door frame, but it turns like this pretty easily. And we're going to make it even harder with these slings so it glides as well. So you've got double turn. Yes, double turn, twice as hard. I don't really know. I mean, I don't know how much friction is in the other ones. I think there will always be a little bit of friction. And the challenge is 100 seconds, right? Because I've also seen two minutes. It looks really hard. I don't know though. I mean, it's definitely an advantage to be a climber. And also it's probably different with the setup. I don't know if this bar is harder or easier than the other ones that we've seen floating around the internet. But how many seconds do you think you'll hang out of it? Are we just going to go max? Yes. Are we going full max to the bitter end? To the bitter end. And I guess there will be also some sort of competition between us. Yeah, some light friendly competition. Or serious. I'm pretty sure it's going to get serious, yeah. What are you hoping for? I'm hoping for... Well, you're hoping for 1 minute 40 because that's your 100 seconds. Yes. So I hope that you get that. But I hope for 2 minutes and 10 seconds. 2 minutes 10. Because that means you have a little bit of margin, you know, on the 2 minutes. I'm hoping to go over that. Okay. All right, should we mount this then? Mount it up. I mean, I know that you're not a big fan of warming up either. You told me while the camera was off. I think I'm about as good as warming up as you. A couple of shoulder shrinks. Just do a couple of these. Yeah, yeah, and then you're good to go. Yeah, we're going to be crippled when we're older. Right, push on. It needs to be pretty level. That's going to be the tricky part here. But I've seen two t-nut holes that I think are parallel. So I think we're good. Yeah, yeah, smash it in. Smash it in. Watch those steps. Safety first. Without the slings, it would still rotate. With the slings, it's going to rotate even more. The slings are very slippery. There's not much friction going on. Perfect. It's like you've tried it before. I think this was a pretty good solution. We've seen some videos online and these things are really hard to find. So you basically have to make your own unless you're willing to pay like a thousand dollars. So I'm going to try to hang off of it and if I let go. Do you want to feel it? Yeah, yeah, I can feel it. Yeah, definitely rolls. Do you want to start or should I start? You can start and then I have something to aim for. Okay. What do you think this comes down to? Is it finger strength or wrist strength? I think we're going to get pumped in our forearms, you know what I think? Yeah, I think so. I think it's going to be forearms because I think it's that sort of... It's trying to stop the roll, isn't it? So I feel like it's going to be down here like probably normal climbing pump. I'm hoping that we're going to do all right. As soon as we're both climbers. But who knows? We'll find out. One-handed would be really hard. That's like next level up. We can try that after. We should do first level first. Let's just complete first level. I'm going to get really pumped. You also mentioned trying a bat hang. Oh yeah, bat hang. Yeah, bat hang is when you hang by your toes hanging like a bat, basically. But obviously it's quite easy when the hold is static and isn't moving. But obviously on this rolly bar, then it's going to be totally desperate. But it'd be worth the challenge, I think. I think we should try it. How did your warm-up go, Magnus? My warm-up go? Yeah. Was your warm-up take your trousers off, put your shorts on? Yeah, basically. But I almost feel like it's better to be cold doing this. How do you think so? Or I don't know. Some people have talked about the flash pump sensation. Have you ever felt that? Because I usually feel better when I'm not that warm. I think flash pump is a myth. No, I think it's just people work differently, you know? Yeah, yeah. You're a cold worker. I'm a cold worker, yeah. Are we just going for it now? I'm a little bit nervous. I'm nervous for you. Yeah, what if I can only hang for one minute? Well, you can only hang for one minute then, can't you? Okay, tops off bar. Tops off bar. And also the extra weight. You don't want that. You either have to hang this way, this way. You're not allowed to hang like this. Yeah, because it stops the spin. Because then this stops the swing, yeah. Yeah. But I'm going to hang this way. Yeah, the climber's way. The climber's way, yeah. Okay, I'll count down. Then I'm going to stand back here, actually. Three, two, one, go. It's going to be hard. Is it? I think it's also a little bit about the pain tolerance level. Yes, but I think you're probably quite good at pain tolerance. You're a good trainer, so you know how to suffer. Yeah. I definitely think that you're good at pain tolerance. I'm reasonably good at suffering as well. 40 seconds. I've seen on the videos that you should not adjust the grip. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know though. Maybe we're able to since we're climbers. I don't know. Oh, as in... Oh, how long do you have to do? Oh, 140. Yeah. You've done a minute 10 now. Definitely a bit tricky. Yeah. Crikey. 1 minute 30. 1 minute 30 now. 10 seconds to go. Come on. 4 seconds. 3, 2, 1. That's your 100. Now start to try really hard. Come on. Keep digging in. 2 minutes. Easy. Got loads left. Come on. That's 2 minutes 10 now. You've hit your target. Come on. Keep it going. Keep it going. Come on. Keep fighting. Keep fighting. Come on. Let's go big. Get 230. It's definitely a pumpy. Yeah. Good effort. That was actually starting to look hard at about 140, 150 actually. Yeah. At least you got the 100. I'm not embarrassed by myself. I mean, secretly, I was hoping for a little bit more. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. I'm a bit nervous now. You are? Because I thought you were going to get more. But it actually looked quite hard. It was hard. So what's your tactic? My tactic? I think I'm just going to do it like a few maybe 20 second warm-up hangs. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Just after you told me you don't warm up. Just to see what's going on. Yeah. Okay. Okay. That's a warm-up. Just get all the blood you can to the hands. Because then when you put it up, there's lots of blood up there. And then that gives it time to drain away. So get the blood in there. Good trick. You really thought this through. Oh, yeah. Okay. Three, two, one. How's it feeling? Yeah. Yeah, it's all right. Yeah. All right so far. I guess it will start to kick in now. Maybe not. Maybe you're just made for this. 120. Just 20 seconds to go. You have 100 seconds. Come on, Pete. 140. 217, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. Come on. 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Come on, Pete. A little bit more. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45. 46. Good effort. That was like 246. You beat me by like half a minute. Oh, that wasn't too bad. You destroyed this. I'll be happy with that. Have you been training for this? Definitely not. Yeah, I went for a bit more like trying to keep the thumb on the fingers for as long as possible. I mean, after a while, it started near the end. I think it started unraveling, you know, when you get to the end. I think maybe I got like an extra five to 10 seconds just by lifting my legs. I don't know why, but it just seemed to help like going into a different position. I feel like three minutes is definitely possible. I can understand why doing 100 seconds not being a climber is quite hard. At 140, I was like, okay, now I can start to feel a bit of a burn. And then you have to like dig deep. How was that challenge? Who's paying us $100? I don't know. Yeah, we should de-pump and then do a one-handed one. It's going to be hard now to do a one-handed one. We can start with the back hang though. Yeah, let's start with the back hang and then go one-handed. To rest our hands. I have the feeling you're going to be pretty good at this as well. I mean, you're so used to hanging from the toe. But you know what? I'm actually not that good on my toes, but a lot better on my heels. Yeah, and I'm not that strong down like for toe hooking. Yeah, because you have to be like this muscle right here has to be pretty strong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I can't imagine I'll be that great. Yeah. We'll see. Are you more of a toe hooker or a heel hooker? I'm a heel hooker. Heel hooker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is very slippery. I mean, it's rotating, but it's also plastic. Yeah, there's no grip on it. Or steel or whatever it is. Yeah, I think this is going to be really hard. I don't know why I'm chalking up. Yeah, yeah. Yes, you're on it. Good. Easy. Yeah. That's really easy. It doesn't feel so bad, actually. No, well, you should. Should we time it? Was that max? I could probably hang for a little bit longer. You could. Should we time it? Yeah, I'm impressed. You watch my go next and then you'll be like, OK, yeah, yeah, now it's rotating. No, I don't think so. I'll be on the timer. Maybe I just had like one. Yeah, I think that was it because that was like a second. What you need for this is backwards shoes. So you know how usually in like climbing or when you're bouldering and stuff, you have shoes which are downturned for like grabbing the holds on steep terrain. Well, this you want like a shoe which is like a clown going this way. Yeah, my shoes are pretty aggressive though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why you did well. Yeah. Because they're quite downturned. What you want isn't the downturn to be an upturn. Yeah. You want upturned shoes. Should we give it a go? Yeah. You want toes or? Yeah, only toes. Well, like one and a half seconds. Yeah, I forgot to stop it. I wasn't quite sure whether to keep my body up or down. Yeah. But I think keeping it up maybe. I wasn't sure where to place the toe hook far in or far out. Yeah. But I think far out is better. Yeah, I went mid. I need to find that sweet spot. That's the key. Key to success. I don't know why I can't. Like the first time was so much better. Yeah, the first time was way better, yeah. That was one, one and a half seconds. Come on. Yes, good, good, good. That's better. Hold the balance. Really good. That was good. Six, 6.3. 6.3? Yeah, that was good. You have to really pay attention to where you place it. Yeah, good effort that. Go for a couple of seconds. Yeah. I felt like straight away when I got on that wasn't good. Try again immediately. That worked for me. Oh, that, that, I'm just off the, I'm way far back. Oh yeah? Yeah. Oh yeah, you. You're hanging on the Velcro. I'm just on the Velcro. Let's see how long you can go. That was like 15 seconds. I was just resting on the Velcro here. That's really good. Oh, that's kind of cheating really, isn't it? No. Maybe I should have carried on. You should have carried on, definitely. So it's a one arm hang then? Yeah, one arm hang, yeah. I think 30 seconds would be really good. Yeah, okay. It's you. I think that would be very easy. 30 seconds would be quite hard, I think. But I think you can do that. Yeah, although it depends how sort of like powerful it is. Yeah. The other one was like very endurancey, wasn't it? This is setting the level because I don't think anybody's tried this yet. This is a new world record. There's going to be a new internet challenge. You've beaten me on all of them until now, so. Yeah, I'm not sure about that last one though because that was a bit boot dependent. Okay. Okay, yeah, go for it. I'll just start when you lift your feet up. Use that power. 20 seconds. Really good. Come on, you've got 30 now. Come on, 24, 25. Come on, keep it going. 30 seconds. Smashing it. Come on, keep it going. 37, 38, 39, 40. Come on, 45. Doing really well. Come on, you can get a minute. You can get a minute. 48, 49, 50. 10 seconds. Come on, hold it 10 seconds more. 53, 54, 55. Come on, lift those legs. Lift those legs. Come on, 57, 58. 58. That was really good effort. That kind of makes sense because it was half your time. Or a bit under, but it kind of makes sense because one arm is going to be harder, isn't it? Yeah, that's impressive. Nearly a minute. Felt better than the first time. I feel like I locked my thumb better. Yeah, smashed it. All right, let's see your next. That was really good. Are you left-handed? No, no, I'm right-handed. Okay. I'm just, my left arm is generally a bit stronger. But I'm going to go right arm. Yeah. Okay, so aim for 30 seconds and then aim for 45. No, no, no, no, no. You need to aim for a minute. 30, 45 minutes. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, baby steps. Oh, you've still got to stop the spin as well. Yeah. 20 seconds. Come on, Pete. 30 seconds. Come on. 40 seconds. Come on, Pete. A little bit more. 43, 44. That was quite hard to stop the spin. Yeah. And also when it's over, it's over, you know? You can't really push yourself those last like 20 seconds. What was that, 45? That was 45, 44. That wasn't too bad. That was good. I think with a bit of practice, you'd be able to get to a minute. What did you get? 58. 58, I think. Yeah. I almost want to try the hanging thing one more time. Yeah? Yeah, just to feel that pain again. Yeah. Do you want to try one more time? It depends what you get if you try again. Okay. So if I beat you, then you're going to try again? Yeah, I might have to try again, yeah. And if not, we're just going to end the video. Yeah. I think actually I had my shirt on when I did the one arm. That's very unusual that I performed better with my shirt on. Maybe you would have reached a minute. Maybe that's a trick. The wrong knee t-shirts. Yeah. Feels me power. Like the beginning is the worst part. 20 seconds in because it just takes so long for the time to rack up. Keep it going. I don't think I can do longer than that. No, no, keep it going, keep it going. 145. So you're over your 100 seconds. Come on, I guess. Come on. Nearly two minutes, 155 now. Come on. Keep it going. Two minutes. Come on. Nearly at your own score, 210 now. Come on. I already felt it. I was not going to do more. Good effort. Do you want to try it again? You could just try. Just try it to see if... See if you can do... What was it? I mean three minutes. That would be like a... Now I'm warmed up. Now you're warmed up. Should I try it? I think you should try it. Okay, I'll try it. I'm sure people want to see you try it. Okay, I'll try it, yeah. It would be a very nice ending to this video if you did three minutes. I mean, I don't know, but I think that would be like a world record. We'll see how... If I'm actually warmed into it after the first hang and the one-armed hang or if I'm just completely dead. Yeah, I felt more tired now. Okay, three, two, one. We're going. 110. 140. Two minutes. Come on. 210. 225. 230. 235. 240. Come on. 245. Come on. 250. Just 10 more seconds. Come on. 255. 6. 7. Oh no. 258. Or almost 259. Oh no. That's amazing. I didn't think I had that. Like at the 100 second mark, that time it felt worse. Yeah, I could see that on your face. Yeah, I was struggling actually. But the stubbornness kicked in. Yeah. I could see you really wanted it. That's not going to do well for this bouldering session, is it? And it was like when you kicked your feet up, I was like, okay, so he has like 10 or 15 more seconds, but you just kept hanging there. All right, so that was it for this video. If you guys want to try it, I suggest you buy one of these. We got a really cheap one just at a sport shop. You're supposed to put them in the doorframe. Spins like this, connected with slings, and you can try it yourself. But that was it for this video. Make sure you check out The White Boys on YouTube. And make sure to like and subscribe as always.
