James Pieratt is a hybrid athlete who does things like deadlifting 520 lbs in the morning and then running fifty miles in the afternoon.
I caught up with him shortly after he completed a 500-mile, self-supported mountain run along the Pacific Crest Trail.
In this interview, we went deep into…
- How to balance strength, endurance, and skill training,
- The role of prehabilitation and rehabilitation,
- The role of strength and conditioning in jiu-jitsu performance,
- The effect of hard training on life expectancy,
- What drives someone to these extremes,
- And much more.
Check it out – it’s super inspiring!

In-Depth Interview with Chris Duffin, The Mad Scientist of Strength
Chris Duffin is a super-smart, analytical, and incredibly dedicated BEAST of a human being. He’s an ultra-elite powerlifter who has deadlifted 1000 lbs for reps and is now closing in on his grand goal of also squatting over 1000 lbs.
I spent almost 1 1/2 hours chatting with him about his insane feats of strength at his gym and manufacturing facility and got a ton of insights into his training methodology and mindset.
In addition to the weightlifting we also talk about how he overcame a childhood spent in isolation and complete poverty, training through and around injuries, struggling with addiction, the importance of escaping bad influences, how to achieving big goals, and much more.
