No not me, but one of my products.
The Keys to Successful Training Online Course will be going away permanently in just a few days.
I have to tell you a bit of story about it to get to why.
First of all, it was to be the culmination of everything I do in my training. The why’s and how’s of the way I train. This was all addressed in 6 modules including, Goal Setting, Progression, All Around Fitness, Keeping Healthy, Pushing the Limits and Psychological Tactics.
This wasn’t the basics of ‘this is how you do a squat and you should do it for 3 sets of 10 reps‘ that the majority of fitness programs are.
Instead I aimed to give the keys to being able to make your own training plan and to make rapid progress with it.
Not only that but how I delivered it was unique. I thought this was awesome (if I didn‘t I wouldn‘t have spent so much time working on it). Using a special software platform I was able to make a multimedia portal with text, video and audio to learn the lessons. And once you finished them you were quizzed to make sure you comprehended the material.
But it was a flop!
Although I believe it carried my best information at the time and was cutting edge, the market was not there with me. I can guess as to why this was, but it doesn’t really matter.
I’ve left it open but it hasn’t sold more than a handful of copies over time, especially without me ever really mentioning it anywhere.
Those that did buy it seemed to love it…
“After learning the first tip in the first module of “Keys To Successful Training” I feel like I got my entire money’s worth for the course.”
-Najeeb Siddique
“This course is a gold mine of information. If you came up with this yourself, you’re a very intelligent individual.”
-Mighty Joe
Since that time, some of my ideas on training have changed. Not the least of which, biofeedback training, in particular. But that’s certainly not all.
Still the vast majority of what is in there is solid gold. If you truly understand and use the material in just modules one and two you will get stronger. There is no doubt about it. Add in some of the advanced stuff like in module 6 and you will get stronger faster.
I’ve been thinking about doing this for a little while. Now I have decided to do so. The Keys to Successful Training Online Course is being retired.
But as always I wanted to give you a last chance offer.
For today you can get the Keys to Successful Training Online Course for half off. From $49 to $25.
This offer only lasts a couple days. If you want it now you can get it for just $25.
If not, not a problem.
In strength,
Logan Christopher
P.S. I am serious about this retirement. After this offer you will never be able to get it again. Click over to read more details and even see a little video showing how the course is laid out.

Got a great question from Felipe the other day that I wanted to tackle, concerning progressions in nail bending.
First of all congratulations Logan for having such a great website your one of the strong men I follow because you have such great information and knowledge. I will be buying the advanced bridging course some time with in a month from now, your lock out was crazy bro, good stuff. I wanted to ask you a question on bending, I bought the ironmind nails level one and two, white and green and I love them. They got to easy and I ordered the yellow nails, I can’t even bend them at all there to strong. what other nails do you recommend that is harder than the green nail and easier than the yellow nail so I can bridge the gap. How should I address the situation?
Thanks Logan hope to hear from you.
The white, green, yellow, blue and red nails
However, I don’t know what they were thinking with the Bag of Nails. The jump from a white nail to a green nail is small. The same goes for the yellow to the blue. But the jump from the green to the yellow or the blue to red is HUGE.
And to be honest, I don’t think any amount of working on the green nails is really going to help you get to a yellow. You need to look outside of Ironmind to make these jumps.
There is a lot of detail that goes into this and different ways you can approach it. You can buy lengths of steel and cut them to size. Get 1/4” cold rolled steel and cut it to lengths with a pair of bolt cutters. This way you can make your own progression cutting off 1/2” at a time.
Or for where you’re at Felipe, it may be easiest to pickup 40D nails at the hardware store and work with those. But again with these, the jump from a 40D to a 60D (about the equivalent of a blue nail) is big.
For complete details on progressions with bending check out Diesel’s Nail Bending eBook. It is the definitive resource on this subject.
Actually one of my friends is looking at making a brain dead simple progression for bending, where the jumps are tiny all the way through. Going from one nail to the next is easy but there are many progressions to go from the easiest nails to past the Red nail.
Its still in development, but this is something I’d love to see made available, as I too have been stopped in making these big jumps. I know that the more progressive you can make something the easier it is.
Is this something you’d be interested in? (I’m asking everyone, including Felipe) Comment below.
In strength,
Logan Christopher
