Pull-ups and chin-ups have always been “special for me”.
Back in the day when yours truly was SKINNY and couldn’t pound ‘em out like he does now .. people often said the pushup was my favorite exercise.
It was.
Hence I finally got around to the handstand pushups!
But pull-ups have always had a special place in my heart, much like they do in the hearts of most MEN and women.
They inspire two things.
AWE.
And strength.
And of course a feeling of INCOMPETENCE, which different people handle differently.
The smart get around to DOING the thing the RIGHT way.
And the vast majority (the sheeple) yank the cords and complain about “how Rahul doesnt offer any value in his emails and says “just do it””.
Anyway ….
Way back in the day in 2003 I remember standing next to a WEIGHTS shop in China.
What I really wanted was a chinning bar.
But despite my rudimentary knowledge of Chinese at the time, I couldn’t figure out how to communicate.
Out of the blue, a friendly Chinese gal showed up. She helped me.
But though the place had every damn machine and weight under the sun, no chinning bar.
I couldn’t find it in the entire CITY and not even the neighboring one.
“Chinese do in parks!” I was told.
(dont ask what, hehe)
Well, well, well. So did I later, but I hadn’t met Ms Lee as yet, and hadn’t discovered the treasure under my very NOSE!
It’s strange. I still remember seeing the hill standing there on the Fourth floor, but it never occured to me to go check it out!
Along with the paddy fields back then which have now all been transformed into CITY.
Anyway, I’ll think more about that after completing this here email.
But you, the 0 Excuses Fitness faithful KNOW the story of how I picked up a rusty iron bar on my ways to the sauna (naughty one, hehe) and got installed.
And of course, that trip to HK where of course I finally got a decent doorway chinning bar!
But anyway, it might just be the best investment YOU make in your whole life my friend and not just fitness related!
I mean, EVERY time you walk past that chinning bar – you’ll feel the URGE to chin yourself.
(Unless you’re in a family or of the mindset my family was when growing up when it wasa there for decorative purposes apparently).
EVERY time you do ‘em, you’ll improve.
And perhaps most pertiently, you’ll naturally start to gravitate to other exercises as well.
And .. you’ll get ENERGY throughout the day. Inspiration. And you’ll look – – and feel – GREAT.
In these lockdown shock down times, I believe a chinning bar is the best investment you can make in your life NOW.
And no, I don’t sell ‘em.
But I do sell the best compilation on GETTING GOOD at pull-ups from “scratch to STUD!”
And super stud …
But anyway, I was thinking Nature this morning.
The forests. The trees. The TIGERS.
All of which I’ve seen.
Nature never stops giving my friend. Nature does not end it’s cycle.
And neither should WE.
Precautions – NOT panic!
And on that note, I’ out. Back soon!
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
PS – Remember that the tiger is an APEX predator for a REASON. People say lions are kings of the jungle. Fooey! Lions neither live in the jungle nor do the males HUNT themselves. A pathetic comparison I’d say. The TIGER rules, and one of the reasons is the way it MOVES. Learn how right here – Animal Kingdom Workouts.
PS #2 – And John – your books are ON the way – hope you got that email! Enjoy, hehe.
