There is a very good possibility that you may find yourself in the twelfth century fighting for your life. In such a (likely) scenario, your only chance of survival would be your manly brawn — if you’re a(n adult) man. How else could you fend off your enemies in close combat? You may even acquire a two handed great sword from your fallen foes. Quite the weapon of choice, indeed.

  4. In preperation for this likely event I would recommend watching and studying the documentary Army of Darkness which chronicles such an ordeal…it may save your life someday.

  6. So last year I kept talking about wanting a wooden longbow. At Christmas my girlfriend completely surprised me with a bad ass wooden bow. Time to start dropping hints on the Great Sword, because I NEED it!

  9. I can only imagine the damage this would inflict to the zombie hordes during their inevitable invasion. I need only to gain 6 more pounds to be man enough to fend them off. I pray the attack will be delayed until then.

  12. I also like how the guy kept his shirt and tie on whilst hacking the pigs in half. It’s important to maintain standards at times like that.

  17. @Ectropy: Wow, that guy managed to avoid the need for a 4-man bench team by wearing a bench shirt and using bands to help him lift the weight. Only a 3-man team needed for that.

    My 11-year-old daughter was laughing at that one.

  18. I submit that 7:03 is the best bit.

    What do you do to top chopping a piece of ice in half on 2 cinder blocks? Obviously, you destroy the cinder blocks!

  23. HA this guy is nuts! I have seen other vids of him with his crazy knifes and stuff he is straight nuts. I like how he says “look at how it just cuts through this pig leg, and did you hear it crunch the bone?” Is he expecting people to run around their neighborhood lopping off limbs?! This video is filled with epic quotes, thanks Justin.

  24. Fat guy needs to use his sword for some “fighting off second helpings of pasta”.

    Maybe he could do some GPP with it too…considering he looks like he’d be out of breath after three swings.

    I laughed so hard when I read this

  25. Hey Justin,

    Just curious, what’s your guys’ take on the westside method as far as a program for strength gain? Specifically, their ideas about coupling max effort with speed work vs more traditional programs (SS, 5/3/1, etc). I realize that there’s a distinction to be made between programs for beginners and advanced lifters, but then again Louie doesn’t seem to make this distinction (given a basic ability to do the movements).

    My experience with Westside is limited. See John Scheaffer for an in depth answer. With my ignorance, I would utilize the training principles with an intermediate and advanced lifters. You’d have to take a use of (or lack of) drugs into consideration for such a program.

  26. Personally I think a Danish War Axe is more 70’sBig or a 2H Maul.

    Far more fun to condition with than Slamming into a tire.

    Functional Fitness at it’s best.

    However, cutting up meat then grilling it is very 70’sBig.
