Upper Body Training with Hafthor Bjornsson at Gold's Gym Venice

In this session at Gold’s Gym Venice, Thor and I hit an upper body session together just one day after his 511kg deadlift attempt. Because all of our programs focus on structural balance, we are able to use very similar exercises and train side-by-side. While Thor focuses on his incline press for strongman, I match his volume on the flat bench.
