Have you joined us over at Super Human Training?

We had an awesome call with Andrew Durniat last night. I have three things I’m adding into my workouts immediately not for the sack of adding new stuff, but they’ll directly help me in my goals. Not to mention a few more things to look out for in the near future.

Logan Christopher and Andrew DurniatAs was expected we blew past the hour mark and went a full 80 minutes. All jam packed with information.

  • Are you doing the forgotten barbell lift? I haven’t been but I am now, starting today!
  • How to kick off the restrictor plates in your training.
  • Why you may want to train in kilograms and not pounds.
  • The simple formula to get stronger. So obvious almost no one sees it.
  • What’s holding back your squat? Hear two different answers and how to fix your weaknesses.
  • What Andrew learned in recent overseas training. The necessary thing that ALL Americans were lacking when it comes to Girevoy Sport. Can you guess what it is?
  • How to combine training along with Strongman, Highland Games, GS, and Grip competitions. Discover Andrew’s secrets to effectively getting stronger and excelling in many sports.
  • And much more.

You may have missed the call but there is still some time to listen into the replay.

And if you aren’t signed up for the remaining nine calls, what are you waiting for? Make sure to sign up here.

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.

Super Human Training BannerIf you don’t think you can learn something from a guy who squatted half a ton (literally), or who has done 3000 kettlebell swings in a single workout, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Anyway we’re on the phone quite often talking training, about the latest PR’s and experiments we’re doing in the gym.

And together we know almost everyone in the training industry at least as far as people who know how to get real results and are proof themselves.

When we re-launched Bud’s site late last year we did a big teleseminar series full of guests, top trainers and strongmen. Ten calls later we called it a wrap.

But even then we knew we had many more people to talk to, much more ground to cover.

Well, that time has come…

Introducing the Super Human Training Teleseminar Series.

I’ve spent countless hours getting this planned and you get to enjoy the benefits (not that I don’t get any myself. I’m actually still using many tips I picked up from the last series in my current training.)

You’ll find all the details on the site including who are special guests are this time.

And the best part is you can listen in for Free to each call.

Just go here and signup.

All you need to do once you’re there is enter your email to get the details of each call as they happen.

This starts next week so be sure to signup ASAP so you don’t miss a single call.

In strength,
Logan Christopher

P.S. I’d be greatly appreciative if you tweeted or posted about this on facebook. The more people who join the more fun it’ll be for all.

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).

worldsstrongestlibrarian 300x175 Josh HanagarneIt’s an odd collection of book reviews, humorous ramblings, tourette’s syndrome progress and declines, and more. It’s always highly entertaining. I even read Josh’s novel and I don’t read many novels these days.

He’s also got a good amount of strength training info like this post on his training history: Strength Training 101. I think that’s a great idea and will be writing up my own training history someday soon.

In order to keep things a little more focused he’s decided to start a new blog specifically on strength in all it’s guises. That’s Strength Rules where I’ll be interviewed shortly.

Just figured you’d like to check these out if you haven’t heard about them already.

The other day I was doing squats in my new power rack. I’m not built for squats but I have been enjoying them this past month or so.

As I descend to the bottom I hear a large RIP.

Unfortunately, this has happened before. I know that my boxers had just split in the back side. Oh well. I do another set or two until I’m paying attention to the boxers more than I am to squatting.

I go back inside remove the now ruined boxers and put my pants back on. Going commando.

Next set of squats. Shouldn’t be any problem without those boxers interfering. I descend. RIP.

Ripped Pants

Squats...The Detriment of Clothing Everywhere

Well, this is a first. I may have ripped my underwear before but never my pants. Curse my big butt. Maybe I need to stop doing squats, deadlifts and swings altogether.

No one was home so I continued the set even with my bare ass hanging out.

Of course, after that I switched into stretchy shorts and continued. Don’t think I’ll ever squat in none stretchy material again.

Do you have some hilarious gym stories. Write them below?

Also check out this past story of a couple more funny gym stories.

Wow!!!

I got over two hundred responses to my kettlebell snatch test survey in under 24 overs. As that is plenty of data to work with the survey is now closed. Those of you that filled it out should have received an email from me linking you to the video I promised. (If you didn’t get that email let me know and I’ll send the link again.)

It seems like I hit a nerve. Of those 200+ people 39 said they’d give there firstborn for it. I don’t know if I should be excited that people really want this information or disturbed. :)

surveyresults

And the responses were great. I’ve expanded my outline to about twice the original size. I may have to do a two DVD set rather than just the single DVD I was planning in order to fit it all in. My goal is to give you everything there is to rocket up you kettlebell snatch test numbers.

Just an update. Now I’m back off to the lab (read gym) to find out more on what works and what doesn’t.

P.S. One person wrote in asking about my snatch test numbers. I guess I wasn’t completely clear in my last post so here they are in again. My current bests include:

251 snatches with the 24 kg bell in 10 minutes with multiple hand switches.
160 snatches with the 32 kg bell in 10 minutes with multiple hand switches.

And for those interested in girevoy sport (although this was over a year back and I’m sure I could easily beat it now).

150 snatches with the 24 kg bell in 10 minutes with a single hand switch.

Longevity Now Conference

Live from the conference

I just got back yesterday from the Longevity Now Conference held in Costa Mesa.

Quite simply it was a mind blowing event.

I learned not only a great deal on information on how to improve your health but things that can equally improve your strength, athletic progress, and recovery as well.

I’ll be sharing many of these things with you. Just need to put them to the test first and do some more research.

Many people start working out just for their health. Others are in it for performance and to become strong. Either way, there is much you can do outside of the gym that will make a huge difference.

I’ve realized my role is to be on the cutting edge of information and I do that in any field that interests me. If you don’t have time for that, that’s fine, I will be the one to deliver it to you.

I just learned some of the greatest health information in the world. And in a couple weeks I’ll be flying out to work with Adam Glass and many others, learning what looks like the very cutting edge of training information.

If you haven’t already be sure to check out Adam’s video here.

And between all this traveling I’ll take the time to deliver more of this information to you. In fact, in a few moments I’ll be starting on a report of one simple thing you can do (that’s so obvious) that will improve everything you do.

You’ll think it can’t be that easy but it is. And it costs nothing.

In strength,
Logan Christopher

I’ll get back to writing more soon but in the mean time I’m still hard at work updating the site.

And I’ve added to the strength training tools page with tons more tools that I use. Check it out at:

And I wrote a guest article for Adam Glass’ blog that went up yesterday at: Change is Rough.

If you get there and have no idea what I’m talking about, I’ll be covering that subject more in the near future. But for now take a look around Adam’s site.

Once again your comments are welcome. And enjoy the weekend!

LegendaryStrengthLogoI’ve just put the final finishing touches on the new site layout. (That’s kind of a lie, since while going through the site I found tons of things that need to be updated and added to overtime.) But for the most part its done.

There’s more functionality for both you and me. I’m going to be putting together a video that walks through the major areas of the site. I’ll let you know when that’s done.

What do you think? Comment below.

Don’t know if you heard about it.

I’m doing a special teleseminar with Bud Jeffries tomorrow night, where we’re going deep into the topic of twisted conditioning. What it is, how to apply it and much more.

In addition you can ask your own questions on any training topic.

This is just the first of many. Next week we have one of my mentors joining us. Now, if you want to build super human strength this is one guy worth listening too.

But for now jump on board and sign up for the first call. The details can be found at
