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.
As 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.
In strength,

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 too. If you’re interested in hearing those I’ll get the link up when they’re available.

You’ve seen my performance from the Atomic Athletic Strongman Picnic. But what about everyone else?
This is Scrolling
There was Olympic lifting. There was ‘regular’ vehicle towing (because towing a semi-truck with a harness is regular compared to doing it by the hair). There was lots of stone lifting.
There was all kinds of metal being bent from horseshoes to bars of iron and even scrolling.
There was martial arts demonstrations, Indian club swinging, people lifting, and even a circus sideshow.
One of the highlights for me was K.C. Gittleson and his sledgehammer finger walking. If you’re not familiar with this exercise it involves holding a slegehammer upright, with the head below you, by the four fingertips of each hand (no thumbs). You then walk your fingers down the shaft until you get to the head of the hammer.

Andrew Durniat amazed the people as usual with his barbell juggling. But he didn’t stop there. He also flipped and tossed around a 50 lb. stone padlock and a 45 lb. plate. If you think any of those are easy give it a try and you’ll find out otherwise.
As previously mentioned, we went head to head in kettlebell juggling trying to out do one another. And we both did in different ways.
I’ll have more video of these events in the coming days and weeks. And later on there’ll be a DVD released that shows it all.
In the end it was worth the trip out to Ohio. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. And if at all possible it would be great to organize a similar event to do over here on the west coast.

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 Facebook or Twitter than you may have read about what happened at the Atomic Athletic Strongman Picnic. Either way, here’s the video.
Here is the full story at least as far as my own performance is concerned.
I got set ready to pull. Well over a hundred people ready, watching and cheering.
I strained and pulled. The fire truck rocked forward but with its massive wheel it was difficult to get it to turn over.
After a couple futile attempts we took a break to make some adjustments. Changing the chains to get a more even pull on each side. Moving the truck to get it out of any dip it may have been in. The tires were filled with air the previous day but without a pressure rating they were skeptical of adding too much!
This time I knew I couldn‘t fail. I had flown across the US just for this. Once I started pulling I didn’t stop ‘til the end. Not only was this the biggest vehicle I’ve done but it was also the longest distance, my guess being at least 50 yards.
No Small Task
Hope you enjoyed that. I know I did. And it won’t be the last, nor the biggest vehicle I pull with my hair.
In strength,
Logan Christopher
P.S. Thanks to Andrew Durniat for filming this for me. You’ll see some more video of the event later, including when Andrew and I went head to head in kettlebell juggling. I think I enjoyed that even more than the hair pulling.

What have I gotten myself into?
This Firetruck vs. My Hair. Who will win?
If you’ve been around my site for awhile then you may have seen the Mighty Atom tribute article and videos on doing this feat. So you know its not something new.
But this fire truck is a bit bigger than anything I’ve ever pulled before. (Its larger than anything I’ve pulled before not just with my hair but period.)
At 8800 lbs. it’ll be no small task. But then if it was, it wouldn’t be worth performing at a strongman show.
So if you’re in the Ohio area you’ll want to check out the Atomic Athletic Great Black Swamp Olde Time Strongman Picnic.
I’ve been wanting to attend these picnic’s since they first got started. I mean, how often do you get to see a bunch of strongmen get together to perform?
Instead of just attending I’ll be lending my hand (or my hair in this case) and performing along with them.
More details can be found on the Atomic Athletic site. It’ll be a full day of amazing feats including strongman Andrew Durniat tossing around barbells with ease. Be there on Saturday, May 15th.
Wish me luck and a strong head of hair.
In strength,
Logan Christopher
