Larry Wheels inspires Tetzel.
When you look up the definition of viking it’d be surprising if you didn’t see the name Tetzel Halbgottschmied. The strongman certainly looks the part. He’s massive, sports some long locks, and even sports a battle axe in some of his Instagram videos.
Like all other strength athletes, Tetzel is on a mission of self improvement. If you’re not attempting to get stronger then the strongman life isn’t the way to go. You have to be willing to try, fail, then fail better.
So in true strongman fashion, Tetzel puts everything into his training. While he may fail from time to time, he sticks with his training and is able to push through until eventually reaching personal records. It’s that drive to keep pushing that allows a strongman to continue to build their inhuman strength.
605 lbs / 275 Kg #Deadlift for almost 6 Reps. Since I suck at reps this is actually a nice little PR. ?

Inspiration also plays a massive role in self improvement. Upon seeing Larry Wheels undergo his own strongman training, Tetzel felt inspired and attempted to match his feat.
So I tried to match @larrywheels 10 Reps with 140 Kg Log. Got 8 which makes me pretty happy as a decent start for 2021.
