This is me years ago (maybe 2000?) doing some Matt Furey/Combat Conditioning neck work. Check out how skinny I am! LOL! Either way, I think Karl Gotch would be proud. We are both German, after all.

  • @mrgoaliedean This video was shot over 10 years ago. I do 1x per week Arthur Jones workouts with a Weston A. Price diet these days. I had taken up powerlifting, got a bit fat (lol) and after getting tendons injured from an antibiotic my doctor at the time prescribed me, I decided I should burn off that fat and work on building muscle. It's a work in progress... lol

  • Great way to break your neck´s vertebrae. You could try rope-less bungee jumping too.

  • @Varlin2 You are 100% correct. This video is NOT meant to encourage, endorse or recommend this sort of activity. It took my several years of DAILY bridging to get to this point.  I stopped doing this years ago, and would NEVER return to doing it. Video is up for entertainment only!

  • very impressive brah, too bad you're 130 lbs but impressive none the less

  • Thanks! Yes, if I was a heavyweight I would be rocking and rolling. I'm 185 now but got as high as 215. Had stopped this sort of thing by then though - I'd probably have broken my neck! This video is for entertainment purposes only! LOL!

  • actually, karl gotch was Belgian

  • Yes, you are correct. I apologize. :)

  • Great video, what is the rest of your workout like, and will you be doing a hindu squat video, thanks

  • Hey I've been doing a lot of reading on Matt Furey---do you find that his programs work?

  • @m0rb1dnightmare you can load all the muscles you mention to a far higher extent and safer with weight exercises.There is no way of head bridging that avoids extreme joint compression ,not to mention the fact its not necessary for any sport,including wrestling.The bit about opening skull plates is anatomically impossible,try reading a book on medical anatomy some time.

  • @billysue2

    maybe joint compression is the impression you're getting from HIS method, but REAL bridging actually strengthens the living SHIT out of your neck, back, traps, lats and legs

    try it out the PROPER way and you'll know what i'm taking about...it is NOT for the weak hearted

  • good job nice
