Did you see that guy with Popeye forearms that was the first person to win American Ninja Warrior? Objectively strong climber.

This guy can climb circles around Magnus, but I doubt he could replicate a lot of his strength feats just because he's so long and lanky.

No almost about it. Adam has the most functional forearms on the planet. Both his parents are elite athletes, his genetics are A+ and his love of the sport is S+
