Svend Karlsen – Viking Power Documentary

August 26, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Here is a strongman classic that was recommended to me by reader Adam.

A documentary featuring Norwegian strongman Viking  Svend Karlson (2001 WSM Winner).

It follows him through some typical training sessions. From his awesome gym in the snowy mountains of Norway to a midnight session in a commercial gym. Great man, great training attitude.

Part 5 – Deadlift 370kg x3, seated rows, shrugs, pull downs, rear delt flys, 3x 500m row, nutrition
