Logan Christopher is a physical culture Renaissance man. If it has to do with working out and using the body he’s at least tried it. Still he has a number of specialties: being one of the best kettlebell jugglers in the U.S., working on a wide range of bodyweight skills, and being a performing strongman. One of his most famous feats is pulling an 8,800lb antique firetruck by his hair.
He created the Peak Performance Trinity to help people get the most out of their physical training, health, and mental training. As a certified hypnotist and NLP Practitioner, he is also one of the leaders in the field of applying mental tactics towards achieving your goals in the gym.
You can find much more at his two main websites. Legendary Strength covers all aspects of physical training with lots on kettlebells, bodyweight exercise, and feats of strength. And at Lost Art of Hand Balancing you can learn how to do handstands, acrobatics, and much more.
