Another great alternative to NECK workouts, and the BRIDGE, a great, great exercise.
- A superlative one, I should say!

Something I have not talked about as of late is the neck bridge – and the wrestlers bridge, which is funny, because with all the lockdowns, homestays etc – and indeed, even “normally” – NECK and lower back pain is something that most people are afflicted with during the normal course of their lives (especially a lot of folks sitting for long hours in front of the computer etc).

(No, long hours don’t necessarily mean poor fitness, or aches and pains etc – not if you do the right things!)

(One of them being mini workouts I talk about so much).

But anyway, the BRIDGE is part of the “big three” I talk about in the Rolls Royce of Fitness, and while I give a lot of attention to pushups and squats – remember one thing.

A LOT of the book is devoted to bridging, and it’s variants.

And quite a bit of the instructional videos are as well, with good reason – because the very position itself scares most people.

People think they will injure their necks.

Too much weight on their necks.

And lower backs!

And of course, most people cannot DO it to begin with, so I give you variants to start off with.

While bridging for most people is the very best thing you can do to cure lower back pain – and the BEST damn exercise EVER is a variant of it that got the testimonial of “it made me feel better overall than ANYTHING else I’ve ever done (despite being a tough nut to crack)” . . . there is ANOTHER great alternative I have not written about.

Two, actually.

One being, headstands.

Where you put your entire bodyweight on your … HEAD and shoulders, and thereby NECK.

Sounds scary, doesnt it?

Well, it don’t need to be to be honest. It isn’t half as scary as it sounds like or looks like, and in the future I plan on coming out with an advanced bridging-cum-gymnastic course on this, and many other great movements I have not covered a lot in my books as of yet.

Including a book on one armed pull-ups, which I’m off to do soon.

If any of the above interest you – do let me know!

And now, #2 for the neck you ask?

Well, it’s something you can do during a normal handstand – NOT a headstand – during ALL the variations, and it’s NOT scary at all.

It merely involves movement in a way that is so simple you wouldn’t think of it as anything that works, but boy oh boy, it does!

I just stretched my necks and traps out this way, and believe me, it feels so damned good I’m off to do MORE. NOW.

I’ll write more on this later, but in the meantime, remember Profound Handstands is our latest offering in that regard.

(It doesnt have the above in it, but it has several OTHER variants that if you thought Battletank Shoulders was tough – well – THIS will make that seem “trivial and a walk in the park”).

Get on the program NOW before I raise the price on this, my friend.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
