This episode starts with a recap of the recent trip to Eleiko HQ in Halmstad Sweden. The guys made their own barbells, took a cold bath in the North Sea, sat in steaming hot saunas, ate delicious food, and trained at the baddest gym in the world. It was an experience unlike any other.

The second hour, recorded in Copenhagen Denmark is a heavy discussion on training, strength, and a debate on who the most complete strength athletes in the world. 

In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Anders Varner and Doug Larson discuss:

Eating Swedish cuisine and how healthy the people are in Scandinavia

Why One Ton Challenge athletes are the most complete strength athletes in the world.

Bringing the One Ton Challenge to CrossFit Halmstad

What is takes to be a complete strength athlete 

And more…
