Freakin' Insane..
Magnus had a bad strongman yr b/c of back problems... so he is rehabbing it will 100 rep DLs.. and not light.. 100 reps x 200kg (440lbs)..

Speaking of how frustrating it was last year, Magnus said, “I was in the shape of my life . . . except for one tiny problem . . . my back.”
While awaiting the doctor’s verdict, Magnus is doing plenty of rehab work, including 100-rep deadlifts. Magnus said that he began with 100 kg for 100 reps in the deadlift, gradually increased the weight, and now he is doing 200 kg for 100 reps.
He’s always been a big bench presser, so it was natural for IronMind to ask Magnus if he was still benching in the 270-kg range.
“It’s more like 300,” he said, and this is from a man who doesn’t even own a bench shirt.

And if you want to know just how much Magnus is talking about, here are some numbers.
“Deadlifted 300 kg for 5 reps,” Magnus said, “followed by 3 sets of five with 270 a few days ago. It felt great and I had no pain the day after.” And if you read IronMind’s story about Magnus’s high-rep deadlift training, here’s the next installment.
”Next up is to try to pull 250 kg for 100 reps with in 35 minutes. The goal is to pull 330x5 fast and easy within a few weeks,” Magnus said.
And don’t think the man known for having the World’s Strongest Arms - a mighty bench presser and a man who clicks the No. 3 Captains of Crush gripper as if it’s a plastic castanet - has been sloughing off when it comes to the rest of his training.
”My upper body training is responding well to the hard treatment I’m giving it,” Magnus said, and considering some of his PRs, Magnus must be hitting some stratospheric heights.
And the bottom line for The Big Swede? “It feels like there finally is some light in the dark tunnel of injuries that I have been fighting for some time now. I’m enjoying myself!”
