On the Animal Kingdom Workouts (Amazon UK) page, I received the following review a few months back which I’ve already shared, but I want to do so again.

YET ANOTHER MASTERPIECE

Rahul

This is one of your best books to date, clearly you understand what it takes to create the perfect beast.

Mastery of one’s own bodyweight is so much more important than some random goal of adding 10kg to your bench press.

Moving your bodyweight with strength, grace and power is how the human animal was built to move.

People, do yourself a favour and buy this book and learn the lessons in it so you too can join the ranks of the superhumans. Yet another masterpiece Rahul.

Glyn Schofield, you’re a clown and quite clearly you’ve never worked out in you pathetic little life, because if you had you’d know what’s important in a “training book” which is the training information it supplies not whether it has typographical errors, “I mean come on man training books are about training not writing style”.

Warmest Regards

John Walker.

Now, I’ve gone on enough about why this book is a must have, so this isn’t so much about that.

And it ain’t about Bozo Glyn either. Ugh. Sullying anything training related or anything at all with his name is just … UGH.

It’s about ….

Anyway, before I continue, my books tend to have FAR lesser typos than my “regular writing”. I do edit my books, as opposed to my other writing which I never edit, and never will most likely (except when I “forget” to say something that I had to – then I edit, but usually not even that).

But there might be the odd one there, I dont know.

I believe John was referring more to the Bozo like comment below in that regard

Badly written, boring

I keep going back to Rahul’s work as I have so much money to burn. Disappointment yet again. His writing style is very poor and the content focuses only upon himself.

From a certain Bozo we all know (and focusing on myself? For one the book teaches YOU how to do these exercise, and if yours truly doesn’t show you, then who would? I’d rather WALK THE TALK with YOU, bro. As opposed to jerking off at Socksford if you get my drift).

(and just in case some of you like Wacko Keith James whoever he is thought I “only share” whats “good” – well, this proves you wrong. Never understood what that particular wackjob was on about in that regard!)

Anyway, Bozos aside, this morning I did some training with the “joris” – which are traditional Indian clubbells of sorts (some call ’em clubs) . . .

It’s something that is going to be very prominently featured in the upcoming Lumberjack Fitness which was going great guns until the computer crashed last week yet again, but we’ve got it all backed up in multiple locations THIS time, so we’re back to work on it … (along with a coupla other books).

And it’s something that bears testament to the TRUISM of what is mentioned BOTH in the comment above (John’s) – and the title of this email.

I trained “light” you might think this morning with 8kg “joris (17 lbs).

That might not sound like a lot at all.

But believe me, some of you avid bench pressers would be hard pressed to do some of the patented “twirls” I’ve got for you in the book – – even with THREE kilogram “joris”!

YES.

And you’ll be lucky to get beyond 5 or 10 smooth reps on each side.

This sort of training strengthens and – more importantly – REHABILIATES the shoulders like NOTHING else can.

All that clicking a lot of you wil hear is GOOD – it’s stuff resetting itself.

Much like the clicks I heard with the Chinese massuesses!

OUCH!

But right about now, you could take a drill or hammer to my soles – or shoulders – or thighs – and you wouldn’t hear a peep out of me. Wasn’t the case years back.

But anyway, this sort of training also packs on lumps of solid, functional muscle to you very quick – the Indian wrestlers – real wrestlers, not the pantomine at the WWE use these all the time till today.

And that, my friend, is all the proof you need in terms of just how great these are.

Not only that – they make your shoulders way more flexible that regular bodyweight and even kettlebell training etc (I’m thinking of putting a bit in there in that regard) can.

And BELIEVE ME.

START OUT LIGHT!

You can ignore this, and think you’re a master at handstand pushups or doing 50 pull-ups or what not.

But no matter what your level, believe me. The weight feels FAR heavier than it says it is – so start off light.

I realize there will be some nuts who will ignore this anyway, but hey – I’m not responsbile for your blown out shoulders, hehe.

And on that note, remember one thing.

It’s great to pump, tone, sit on a damned bench and add on weight to your curl and pretend thats real man training.

Newsflash – it ain’t.

Thats sissy training.

REAL MAN training, my friend is not about show. IT’s about function.

IT’s about what you can DO with your muscles as opposed to enter Mr Olympia.

Ugh. Preen pose, buff, oil … UGH.

And while joris and even the “gada” (mace) is great to train with – remember one thing.

The foundation is always bodyweight exercise, my friend. 

ALWAYS!

Never, ever forget that.

And on that note, I’m out. Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Animal Kingdom Workouts is right HERE.

PS #2 – Remember, we’re down to TWO (it would be ONE, but I found another copy in that old folder I was rummaging around in – and the copy itself is brand new as it were) copies of my FIRST book ever (fitness wise). Fast and Furious Fitness – the Collector’s Edition – jump on this now, because once it’s gone, it;s GONE with the wind as it were. It will NEVER be reprinted, and for those of you that want to own everything I’ve written, and certainly the “classics” – this is a GOLDEN “once in a lifetime” opportunity.

I leave the rest up to YOU.
