Brad Johnson: Sledgehammer Pull-Ups

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2005

We don't call Brad Johnson's column "Extreme Bodyweight Training" for nothing.

IronMind® guys used to drive by quarries or stream beds, notice a big stone and say, "Wonder if Steve Jeck could lift that" Then it was a matter of cruising by a junkyard or seeing something formidable by the side of the road and asking, "Wonder if Steve Justa could lift that" And now, the question is, "What's the latest thing Brad Johnson is doing in his family's laundry room?," because that's the home of cutting edge pull-ups, among other extreme bodyweight exercises.
