Extreme Neck Strength
Sometimes its good to do a little showing off... although with that being said, I am a trained professional (plus I'm crazy) and do not recommend that anyone else try to attempt this feat:
Yes, that's all 170 pounds of Pat Povilaitis standing on me and bending a red nail while I'm in a full nose-to-mat neck bridge. And in case you're wondering, I was terrible at bridging when I first started -- but I just kept working at it and improving every time I trained... That's how Super Strength is built.
Train hard,
John Wood
P.S. If you want to build a neck as strong as mine, begin by mastering the exercise pictured on page 35 of the latest edition of Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey Do it for reps or hold for time. Once you've done that, move on to actual bridging and build from there.
