Gallowmere's Obsession, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Deadlift

[Obs]

8s Intensification Deadlift Day

Deadlift:
10x135/5x225/3x295/3x335/3x8x355
Pause Squat: 5x45/3x135/1x225/5x245-4/4/4/4/3
Neck Flexion: 3x10-10/9/8
Neck Extension: 3x10-20/20/20
Neck Lateral: 2x10-15/12

Decided to start doing some neck work while I’m fucking off between sets of pause squats. My pencil necked ass needs it. Shit looks like a roll of dimes.

Close gripped upright rows. Lift the bar to your nose. For neck and traps it cant be beat.

I drove a truck for several years all night and even before that I would nod my head (headbang) to music to stay awake. Sounds dumb but after ten years I cant fit my neck in a xxxl dress shirt.

Doesn’t sound dumb at all. Are you familiar with George Fisher (Cannibal Corpse’s vocalist since 1995)? Dude’s neck looks like a fucking tree trunk, and his idea of training is a night of playing a show before he plays World of Warcraft. He swears his only neck exercise has ever been the absurd style of headbanging he does on stage.

Yep, the perfect enviornment to do it is in a truck too.
Nice and private.
Great way to keep from waking up in a ditch too.

I did it for so long its a habit even now.

Hell I havent drove in a couple years in an 18 speed or big truck but I downshift the hell out of my old 5 speed and reach for the non existant jake break switch once in a while.

Sounds like we have even more in common than previously thought. I haven’t been in one of my company’s 18 speed W900s in a few years now, but my daily driver MX-5 5-speed keeps me in rev matching practice.

That car though...it was a lot more comfortable when I was a 150 lbs. skinnyfuck. Contemplating a WRX or STi next year, as I want something that can rip ass AND handle fine in stupid amounts of snow.

Love the KW w9's with a 550 cat.

Next favorite was a 378 short nose pete.
Never cared for the 379 to drive but they sure are sharp.
I dont think I can fit in a mack.

I drive standard f350s.
Ex wife took my little aveo stick that I actually loved the hell out of. She crashed it through our barn before she got it though lol.

Would love a fast car but all my toys seem to involve work.

Understandable. I bought the MX back when I was constantly driving a company truck home, had a GMC 1500 for a daily, and just wanted something fun for the weekends. It’s a reliable little beast and cam easily hang 15 mph exit ramps at 65+, but it’s a literal pain in the ass for an hour long commute, especially the day after deadlifts.

Mind if I jump in? Dig both of you guys and your motivation. As soon as I decide my path, you guys will have helped get me there.

Always thought Phil from Pantera & Henry Rollins dominated the neck category.

Sorry drive an automatic, but it’s a beast.

Rollins is a good call. Fisher definitely has him beat on sheer size, however Corpsegrinder is also pretty damned fat, whereas Rollins is at least passably lean.

Dammit, we need neck DEXAs. Hah.

I think that viral black guy is world champ

Yeah, I recently had that pop up on my feed a few times, and am still not entirely convinced that there’s not some “photoshop for the lulz” involved there.

Jesus, Fisher's neck is huge. Doyle, nice physique, think he's in his 40's.

Oh yeah, Doyle’s always been jacked. I remember their brief stint with Vampiro back when I was obsessed with wrestling as a teen.
