I will say this video is not completely accurate, Burns actually didn't build his strength working on a farm but it was actually a combination of 18 hour days on the railroad as well as a strong conditioning regime on his days off.
Also Burns strengthened his neck after an early encounter with Evan "Strangler" Lewis (known for what is now called a "rear naked choke"), with his own signature move (the double leg takedown) the showdown that launched his career became a choke vs. takedown competition.
