Summary

This episode tells the story of Logan Aldridge. An adaptive athlete who has earned the title “the fittest one arm man on earth.” This title, as you can imagine, required a lot of sacrifice in more than one aspect. And the way that Logan tells that story... Is nothing short of inspiring.

In this episode we talk about how he lost his arm, what working out is like with 1 arm, some of his ridiculous PR lifts, and so much more. To say that you’ll be motivated after hearing this may be the understatement of the year.
