Why SHORT isn’t necessarily better when it comes to that almighty (and almost as important as breathing. Hehe) GRIP training

I can hear ‘em rail.

“The way you talk about grip training makes it seem like it’s as important as breathing!”

He might as well have added on a few choice epithets, which I wish he would have. Would have made the 1112 names on that list swell, hehe (on that note, I promised last night I’d look through the list and see if I could find “el vampiro” on the list, but I couldn’t hehe, so it’s not 1111, it’s actually 1112 NOW. Unless word search didnt work right, but I doubt it, hehe).

This from a guy who said “muscle sticks to Herschel Walker like shit to a stick (or something of that nature, again, this is from memory but I believe I’m right)”.

No it doesnt brah. Walker’s gone on record saying two things.

One, that heavy benching etc and the mindless bozo like “add weight to the bar” in the gym results in little else than shoulder, back and JOINT problems.

(He said it in a more expansive manner, and 0 Excuses Fitness, which said person above apparently forgot to read (why would he, hehe. It’s useless, even though a friend’s HEART and SOUL went into giving the book to him) has the actual quote and the link).

But anyway, here is the point of this.

(oh, and two, Walker has gone on record stating he wasn’t exactly genetically gifted either)

(much like yours truly isn’t and I never tire of saying it).

Now, the point.

From yours truly CONTRARIAN and BARBARIAN and foreign devil aka “gui lao” (and da xing sing aka “Gorilla”, lol) EL SUPREMO – DEMO!

Deeeeeemo, not demo. Hehe.

Deem is egg in Bengali. Just thought of that, and I dont know why. Maybe it’ll “Egg up” in a future email.

But anyway, eggs aside.

I’ve spoken about long workouts being nowhere near as effective as short and intense ones, and actually detrimental to your overall health and well being.

Proof, you ask?

Sunken face marathon runners VS ‘real man (or woman) sprinters.

Insert “treadmill” or “exercise bike” for “marathon” if you so choose … as most use those that wayt!

Yours truly didn’t.

I didnt use the treadmill as a clothes hanger, as a certain lady “Rendy” does.

I cranked it up to MAX elevation and ran SPRINTS on it.

(Yet more PROOF that Advanced Hill Training can be done anywhere!)

And thats … well, thats something I have NOT mentioned in any of my emails so far. Maybe I will.

But anyway, grip workouts.

Are different.

In that long bozo like workouts are actually sometimes GOOD for the grip.

That don’t mean short and intense isn’t. They both are!

And this is yet another reason NONE of my books on grip, but all the others do NOT include workouts.

Sorry for those that like to be handheld, but grip training is highly PERSONAL.

And those that do it know what I’m talking about.

I just got done with the following.

40 Handstand pushups, 40 pull-ups, more than a few dead hangs, three timed bear crawls, and a few stretches.

Took me about 10 minutes.

And my heart was THUMPING like a sledgehammer all throughout.

You may not believe it, but super stud like workouts burn fat like crazy too, bro.

So do STATIC holds.

And Icould barely grip anything about 5 minutes into the workout, so I’m not sure how I finished!

This same thing, of course, for beginners would take an hour, if not hours.

IF they could even do it.

But even if you substitute other exerciss for the ones I did …

… you’d still get a pretty good GRIP workout after an hour of that!

But yes.

Short and intense still rocks .. but grip wise?

When you start – – don’t sweat it if they’re too much.

Do what you can.

Progress from there.

And thats how to go about it. Just do it (yes, yeah, I know. How dare I say that. But I did – again!) .

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
