It takes a lot of work to put something big together. But in the end it’s usually worth it. As you may or may not know I’ve partnered up with Bud Jeffries, one of the top guys when it comes to getting stronger and building insane endurance. If you don’t …
Josh Hanagarne
For those of you not familiar with Josh Hanagarne let me give you the lowdown. He runs an odd site called World’s Strongest Librarian (a self-proclaimed but likely true title). It’s an odd collection of book reviews, humorous ramblings, tourette’s syndrome progress and declines, and more. It’s always highly entertaining. …
New Article – Weightlifting Technique
Does technique matter? How much? What is the difference between a strict lift and a not so strict lift? What is perfect form? Can, and should you, even go after it? Find out the answers in my new article: Weightlifting Technique In strength, Logan Christopher
Another 15lb. Deadlift Increase
Recently I wrote how my deadlift max went up by 15lbs. from 425 to 440 over nine days. Well, today I’m happy to report the same has happened, in just thirteen days. (I guess that shows a slowdown in progress but I was on the road for four days without …
Baseball Grip Training
I wanted to let you know about a resource my friend Jedd Johnson just came out with. It’s called Ultimate Forearm Training for Baseball. But the truth is it’s much more than that. While it is targeted for baseball players, with sport specific exercises and training tools, the majority of …
15lb Max Deadlift Increase in 9 Days
I just wrote last week how my deadlifts have been going way up. But this is getting ridiculous… I ended up doing deadlifts once again. Started with 365 for 8 reps. Went to 415 for a triple. And ended with a 440 lb. deadlift. I could’ve kept going but was …
Singles vs High Reps
Why are we so concerned with maxing out? I really want you to think about that for a moment. Why does your average person concern themselves with how much weight that can lift a single time? Unless you compete in powerlifting or Olympic lifting your max attempt doesn’t really matter. …
Progress in Biofeedback Training Part 3 – Deadlifts
Here’s another update in my progress with biofeedback training. If you missed the others, here is part 1 and part 2. I’ve been testing so many times I’m starting to not always need it. Sometimes I can just feel what I’m going to do and then it happens. Even without …
Front Page
I already linked to the story, but Roger LaPointe of Atomic Athletic sent me a hard copy of the newspaper (yes they still do exist). Besides the write-up there’s a great picture of me in action on the front. This makes it the second time ever I’ve been on the …
Grip Authority
Grip training is important for everyone, not just strongman and grip athletes (and for obviously reasons its extra important for them.) You can do just the basics. For many people, swinging a thick handled kettlebell is going to give them more hand strength then they’ve ever had in life. But …
New Article on Block Weights
There’s a new article, complete with video up on the site. This one covers block weights, what they are and how to use them to build strong hands, particularly the pinch grip. Check it out, and as always comments are appreciated. In strength, Logan Christopher
More on the Strongman Picnic
As was previously mentioned this event was covered in the press. Here’s a link over to the BGNews with the full story. Also over on the Kettlebell Juggling Blog I uploaded a video of Andrew Durniat and myself going head to head. I’ve been interview on a couple radio stations …
Progress in Biofeedback Training – Part 2
This is the second in a series on my progress on biofeedback. Click here for the first post. I still feel like I need more time to have revolutionary results. So far the results have only been great! My lifts are going up. By following my biofeedback my body is …
Strongman Picnic Recap
You’ve seen my performance from the Atomic Athletic Strongman Picnic. But what about everyone else? You don’t call it a strongman picnic if there isn’t all kinds of strong people present. This includes the oldtime performance based strongman as well as the modern competing type. There was Olympic lifting. There …
World's Strongest Hair
I’m not sure if I can claim the title world’s strongest hair…at least thus far, but there’s no doubt that my hair is strong. If you’re following me on Twitter than you may have read about what happened at the Atomic Athletic Strongman Picnic. Either way, here’s the video. Here …
