It seemed just like the other day, just a like a coupla months ago that I saw my buddy Vincent, he of the Marines, he who is mentioned int he opening part of Gorilla Grip, and rightfully so looking GAUNT and terrible, to be honest.

He had been through an experience shortly before that that would have killed most men, to be honest.

But what doesnt kill you makes you stronger!

And he’s in the good ole US of A, in “country” as it were, and training HARD.

He’s hiking.

He’s GRAPPLING.

He’s eating WELL.

And he’s … well, let’s hear it from the horse’s mouth!

How goes it Brother,

Well it’s Monday morning here and we are not sure if we get off this lockdown on the 4th.

As you already know it’s killed the economy and crushed the people. Myself being a minority stake holder in this business I’m drowning !

Moving on – I’ve gained 50 lbs of dense muscle mass. I’m training 5 days a week and hiking an average of 25-30 miles a week. I also grapple 3 times a week and do some striking training once a week, I go to the range 4 times a week. I put at least 5 clips down range, and you know I’m surgical about this. I don’t subscribe to the double tap drills ! Myself I have a Wilson commander, because of 230 grain it has the knockdown that the 9’s do not have. So the double tap is overkill. My groups are within a 2 inch groupings. 

(again, I’m quoting the relevant parts of his email).

But thats some good stuff! Especially the part about the WILSON, hehe.

(I’ve got a Glock on my mind actually, and I told him that, but anyway, this is more about training, so let me quote what I told him on that).

Hey Vincent

Thanks for the email! Yeah, obviously the lockdowns and panic have killed the economy not just in America, but globally. And thats yet another reason I put out a plea to my list to do the best they can do to make 2012 mask free and PANIC free! Lockdown shockdown, mask “shask”. Just fucking annoying shit at the end of it all – I mean China spread the plague, and now the ROW just has to deal with it, but the Bozos globally don’t GET it, do they!

Good news in terms of my business that it’s actually been on a steady upswing this whole year. Which is good news – my head literally spins when I go to bed with the amount of writing I do though! But business wise (for all the writing I do in multiple businesses) things are all going up which is good.

Great news though about the physical training bro. Thats what bodyweight training and REAL training (wrassling etc and HIKING, of course, I should know a thing or two about that!) will do for you! Add in Hindus and rope jumping and pull-ups, and you’ll be off to the races.

Yours truly isnt hiking at all these days, but I’m back to the 150 pull-up/150 handstand pushup days, hehe. Plus jumping rope and Hindu squats. Mini workouts for me these days throughout the day, and I somehow manage to stay sane that way, hehe.

And so it goes .. (there was more, but I’ve omitted that for brevity).

And there, my friend, should be a solid answer for the idiots who claim “bodyweight exercises do nothing but build endurance”.

As I said in an email or so prior to this I believe.

HA!

And wrestling, just so you know, involves training the BIG THREE mentioned in the 0 Excuses Fitness System.

And let’s leave the Wilson’s and Glocks out of this one – lets talk training.

THOSE are real results.

Hiking will build muscle like crazy, and burn fat like crazy – especially steep uphill hikes like he has been on, and I should know. Oh, boy, I should KNOW!

The only other things I’d recommend for him are what I did in the email, and from what I heard, he’s already ONTO the jump rope part.

I’m sure he’ll do great!

Semper fi, bro. You’ve earned it and then some!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – HERE is the best damn course there is on jumping rope– with variations you’ve probably never ever HEARD of, let alone seen!
