    155% body weight hang on a 20mm edge is the unofficial world record? Awesome, I'm almost there!...wait, with one arm?
  • @AnnaHazelnutt
    Hannah!!! The production quality for this video is soooo good! Also Allison is a mega beast, these numbers are mind-boggling
  • @Finn.noOffcial
    Would love to see some of the japanese climbers try this, I know some of them can one arm hang the 6mm.
  • @unique_newyork
    I remember Allison from Vancouver back in the day. We climbed at the same bouldering gym and she would 4X4 my projects. She was super humble about it tho. Happy (and low key proud of her) for all her successes. Shout out The Hive Vancouver!!!!
  • @EllaClarke-ht3vb
    Great to see a new video has been put up- I have missed them! 😊 Thank you Hannah and Nathan :)
  • @plastikmaiden
    As a longfingered boy I want to know more about that torqued grip position!
  • Micky from EKB just did around 187% of bodyweight from a deadlift position, crazy numbers. Also I am not sure that the lattice test numbers are for peak force or 5-7 secod hang. Awesome video, and superb strength.
  • Allison is such an all around awesome person, so cool to see her on your channel ❤ Can’t wait to see her content!!
  • @EllaClarke-ht3vb
    The editing and filming quality is amazing!! Keep up the good work 😁
  • @McVollman
    still cheering for the day that my old favorite magnus partners up for a video with my new favorite Hannah :)
  • @NikfangZ
    bruh I think that putting fingers sideways might be a game changer for my long fingers
  • @andrewkim9503
    I genuinely wonder if the setup she's using for the 20mm is just limited by pulling strength. I genuinely wonder if she could pull more weight from a deadlift position instead. Regardless, Allison is a total beast!
  • @lupe75
    Excellent video, Hannah! You´ve been spoiling us with such a good content! And it´s nice to know that Alice is the person behind Float. I discovered it a few months ago and immediately subscribed to it.
  • @artificiellexx
    Incredible production on this video, awesome to see on a video featuring the incredible Allison Vest!!
  • "want to see my lock-off on a bar? It's pretty funny" continues to do a really really really respectable lock-off...
  • @BungarangYT
    what a great sponsorship! The wheel is super fun and the merchandise is really cool. It sucks that a lot was sold out, but that’s good news for you guys!
  • @augustclimbing
    25:47 “good for the ‘gram” 😂 That’s what it’s all about! Haha but seriously, great video! Allison is so strong and I look forward to seeing more from her on her new YouTube channel! 👍🏻
  • @AB-fh9zh
    Holy crap, that is just crazy. Also very interesting to learn more about the mechanics of finger strength. Great video.
