That's not really Xantar, you silly. Although he apparently is very strong and muscled. Oh and I bet that movie is real... but: you never see more than 5 or so chin-ups. Maybe the guy does 5 of those, rests for 2 days, does a few more, etc. And he just made it look like it's all in one training.

Last week saw myself in the mirror and suddenly thought: "I don't want to get any beefier." I like the way I look now. Well, the arms and chest. I plan to work on the abs and maybe back.

So..... I quit the training. I'll still do the exercises once in a while, to stay in shape, but I don't have to be stronger.

Hahaha well, how would I know if it's Xantar or not? Unless I completely missed the joke somewhere in the thread.

As for rock climbers, yeah strong forearms are key, but pull up muscles are essential as well, plus the thousand or so other muscles that non-Xantar guy uses in that video are very very helpful. The holding the legs in the L form, pulling up, and holding in that position is just one good rock climbing exercise.

Climbing uses tons of muscles due to all the contortions of your body that you have to do. It's a great full body exercise. Fun, too.
