Schwarz Lift 35kg

Strongman Archaeology

"Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." - 1 John 2:23  Yesrs ago, it was brought to my attention that  Wrestler Hans Schwarz, who 120 years ago, Floor Pressed 258lb while weighing 209lb, before working himself into a Neck Bridge while the arms stayed locked out. This is unbelievably difficult with just a York Double Faced 75lb plate! This is half of my best Pullover & Press while in a Neck Bridge. My entire Trapezius from top to bottom and left to right is charred & toasty! Was this fun, ohhhh yes it was. God Bless.  #jesussaves #oldtimestrongman  #neckbridge #neckstrength

00:38Wow, thank you Jesus, finally.

00:47York double faced, 75 pounder, weighs 77 or 76.85 pounds, something like that.

00:59Not quite 35 kilos, but that's the Hans lift, Schwartz lift, named after Hans Schwartz.

01:07He was a wrestler that would do a floor press with his body weight, which was 258, 258 pounds.

01:15And from the floor press position flat, he would then work himself up into a neck bridge.

01:21Can you imagine?

01:23So this is about half of my best pullover and press in a neck bridge, which is like 149, 150

01:31pounds.

01:32And I'm getting just about half of that here, and it's taken me a while to understand the movement and

01:37to maybe work up the courage.

01:39But praise the Lord, that is my entire trap.

01:42Like whenever you look at the trabezius, because it's a trapezoid, that is what's fried right now.

01:47That entire trapezoid is completely burnt out, and it feels great, but wow.
