World’s Strongest Man winner Svend Karlsen opens his training video promising to inspire and educate: "I'm going to let you in on the secrets I never told my competitors." Watch this DVD and you will see a week's worth of Svend's training, both in the gym and on events. In film producer Colin Bryce's words, the film covers "Svend's eight-day training cycle. The film itself is split into two sections: equipment training, which includes farmer's walk in six inches of snow, 500-kg tyre flips, an attempt at the Apollon's Axle world record, 8 x 180-kg stone lifts in under 30 seconds . . . plus many more secret exercises that Svend has developed for success." Next, it's into the gym to "watch Svend front squat an amazing 4 x 270-kg, deadlift an outrageous 3 x 370-kg . . . again he shows you all of the exercises he deems necessary for real strength training. Also, Svend takes you into his kitchen and explains the most important diet supplements that you should be taking. To top it off, the film contains footage of his log world record and more competition footage from the last few years."
A film bonus?--you'll love the music!

Svend Karlsen, the former "World's Strongest Man" gives you a rare glimpse into his world of ungodly strength.
This video is like a "day in the life of", and really shows you what is involved in the life of a pro strongman. It mostly details the training regime that gave Svend his WSM title, but you do see glimpses of his home life and really get to see inside the mind of a champion. Svend is a very funny and highly entertaining guy just in himself, and it makes for a fun video.
This DVD gives you instruction in the strongman events, training shcedules, nutrition, and in the gym training footage. Now, this is NOT something that your normal everyday weight trainer would need or want, but seeing how the pros do it is highly informative and inspirational. This, coupled with a very high production value and Svend's overall craziness makes me give this DVD a 5 star rating.
