Some of you on this list might not like what I am about to say, but it’s gotta be said.

And in typical “don’t careish” fashion (interesting how the words “band” together, and words and memories come FLOODING back) … I’m gonna say it. And now!

I’ve made no secret of the fact that pushups and pull-ups for one are all you need to do for your upper body – your entire life.

And variations therein, etc.

I’ve given you reasons, including one CARDINAL reason that EVERYONE ignores and avoids even though it’s nigh on obvious and it’s spelt out very clearly in all my books on it. (them)

That being, that pushups work the very muscles that pull-ups do as well, except you don’t “think they do” because the bozos at the gym tell you “it’s a bicep workout”.

If there was ever anything pull-ups are NOT, it’s “bicep workout unto itself”.

True dat bro.

And if it is for you, you ain’t doing ’em right at all.

Anyway …

Getting better at handstand pushups is something most people don’t do their entire lives. For some reason the more glamourous PULL-ups take precedence.

And hey, I get it.

Nothing like pulling yourself up effortlessly with all those back muscles standing out in stark regard is there, or having that “V shape” to your back …

Or looking like you go to the gym when you never ever have, do, or will …

… And so forth …

And pull-ups will get you there.

But point being this. Not all of you can do pull-ups.

And not all of you want to listen to how to do ’em, let alone get better at ’em, but a lot of you read what I’ve got to say it on anyway (even if it’s secretly).

Even if it’s you nuts I’ve “blocked” on social media. You still come over to my website and READ, just to see what ole “Rahul” has been up to as of late.

Great.

And here it is – getting better at handstand pushups or even doing ’em is not just the secret I mention in BattleTank Shoulders for one (advanced shoulder building course, that one).

It’s part of getting REALLY good at pull-ups.

Stuck at 5 perfect pull-ups per set, but can’t advance no matter what?

Stuck at 15 pull-ups per set all day, but can’t do a muscle up?

Can’t get that chin over the bar on ANY rep?

And so forth …

Can’t hold for time?

And so forth …

Well – do HANDSTANDS and HANDSTAND PUSHUPS my friend!

Why do these work so well you ask (in terms of getting better at pull-ups)?

I dont’ normally reveal my secrets in free emails, but I’ll let on to two here.

First, weight issues, especially around the midsection.

Pull-ups are nigh on impossible to do for FAT (not BIG – I said FAT) people i.e. Those that carry a ton of lard around the ole midsection.

I don’t care if you can bench a house and deadlift a cow.

If you’re fat, and carry more weight around your midsection than you should be, you’re not going to be a champ at pull-ups until you rectify the above. Very simple.

And handstand pushups are the same.

Except, by their very NATURE, they FORCE you to lose weight in exactly that area I’m talking about – WHILE you’re attempting to do the workout!

‘Tis true, my friend. Do ’em, and you’ll see how your core feels!

Mashed some would say, hehe.

And second, handstand pushups are heavy on TRAPS, and lats.

Pull-ups?

Most people work the arms way too much while doing pull-ups, while neglecting lats, and of course grip …

Handstand pushups done right won’t LET YOU ignore these two key parts my friend.

And the traps is really what get that chin over the bar, for one (that and LESS WEIGHT around the MIDSECTION)

So there it is my friend.

Two very valuable secrets out there for FREE, and plenty more in my courses.

Have at!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
