In Animal Kingdom Workouts, a book that (and these are customer words – DOER words) is “probably my best book ever” and that I “clearly understand how to create the perfect BEAST” – and a book that will “make you join the ranks of the SUPERHUMANS” – there is ONE exercise often overlooked.

Even by the doers, most likely (and not because they “want to” overlook it – it’s one of those things that happens).

A “less glamorous” exercise.

And while I cannot remember which page of that behemoth book it was on – indeed, thats a HUGE book – and possibly my most comprehensive ever on the topic – I mean, think about it – who puts out 68 exercises like that in ONE book??), it has something to do with a MONKEY and the way it walks.

(and as for comprehensive, so much for the Bozos who claim “too expensive”. If I wanted to REALLY make it more expensive, I’d split the book up into three Volumes).

And I wouldn’t be wrong if I did that either, but I didnt.

Max value is what I deliver, my friend.

Same thing for Fitness Central – or Fitness Pioneer – or ANY of my books.

Going ABOVE and beyond the line of “duty”, but anyway, back to monkeys.

I once saw a video of a baboon in Africa swinging off a tree branch and “smacking” a lion on the head as it swung back and forth, easy peasy.

It was too high for the lion to get, and too quick for it too!

And it was laughing, literally.

I know how that feels – in school, the bullies often whacked me to the head repeatedly.

Not much I could do about it THEN – but of course, that didnt last too long. Hehe. In a few years, I put the Gorilla Grip on a jackass that was driving me insane.

Of course, yours truly was in the wrong.

But the guys that repeatedly slapped me on the head, drove my face into corners of the desk etc were always “just aggressive strong” boys and never wrong.

HA!

I remember an instance when I was watching my daughter and another kid “get it on”, and this isn’t the time when I went to pick her up from school and someone slapped her, and she slapped BACK – with me GETTING HER BACK – and in front of the other kid’s Dad who stood there like a dumb mute (though really, after I spoke up, all the other Mamas, silent until that point, did too).

Herd mentality. Ugh. Anyway that story is mentioned in Kiddie Fitness, but THIS time, she was pounding the hell out of the other kid.

A fat fock of a lady walked up to her.

“Keep your hands to yourself”, she yelled like a banshee to my kid.

I could have of course interjected and told the fat fock of a lady to mind her own damn biz, and tell her own son to grow some sniveling BOLLOCKS for God’s sake.

But I didnt.

How dare I, hehe.

They’re ladies, so how dare I say anything. LOL.

I took my daughter away and counseled her to keep whacking the kid, but stay away from Bozos, hehe.

Sometimes, you do what the hard drinking dude in Jism (another one of those potboilers in India) – a lawyer who was perennially drunk advised.

(the story itself was about him going ga ga over a somewhat fat “absolutely gorgeous” according to the story woman)

“Do wrong things if you must – but don’t get caught!”

I wouldn’t say do wrong.

He was talking to career criminals tho, so that was different, but in context, I’d say “whoop the kids ass, but stay away from the fat fock parents running after their molly coddled BRATS”.

But anyway …

Monkeys.

Loping around like a monkey, my friend has benefits beyond turning you into a modern day version of a MASSIVELY MUSCLED caveman!

Imagine this.

Neandethral man with his mammoth arms, shoulders, and carrying a club on his shoulders – and how did he walk?

Right.

Ape style!

And even if you are not interested in real man strength or training, lets take the real world – and FIGHTS.

Lope like an ape, for one, and you’ll be in a far better position to take the big guys down with one “shot to the legs” – much like felling a TREE.

“The bigger they are, the harder they fall” .

Sure, there are counters to this, but the point stands.

Loose, loping, easy, flexible – and STRONG beyond your wildest imagination my friend.

THAT is the definition of APE strength.

And the way you get there is by doing what APES do all day long.

One, well, you know already.

But two, you get that insane animal like strength by training and moving around like REAL animals do in the wild.

And I dont know about you, but I ain’t never seen a single one of them lie on their back and add weight onto a bar – or sit and yank on the lat pulldown – or “do deadlifts with a reverse grip done just right”.

I’ve never seen a Baboon or chimp for one grab onto a dumbbells, park their hairy butts on a bench, make sure the cameras are ready and do “5 sets of 10” for the peak of the biceps, and then strut around preening, posing and pumping.

Have you?

Yet, I can tell you without a doubt that same ape could pick up the 100 kg dumbbells lying around with one finger probably and THROW it at you loose limbed so hard that … well, you get the photo, mi amigo?

Key to all this – and the point really, is THIS.

Train hard – train like a REAL man.

Because you never know.

Some day, your very life may depend upon it …

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
