For those that dont know, the “mudgar” is another way to (if i’ve got it right) – – refer to … “joris”.

Indian clubs, which come in all sizes, shapes and forms (pun not intended) – and that old time strongmen and Indian wrestlers (and Persian, Iranian etc) have been training with for ages.

In addition to what I teach in the 0 Excuses Fitness System as the very bedrock of their training i.e. without those, you might as well not do the rest – they do LOTS of club swinging and training.

Some of these damn things are heavy!

Let me tell you, picking up a 40 kg mudgar feels so NOT like picking up the same thing dumbbell wise.

Ditto for maces, which are even tougher.

And as I sit here writing to you, after a patented Rahul Mookerjee workout which WILL be included in Lumberjack Fitness (yet another reason for the book delay? There’s just so much to put in it!!) . . . this one includes three things.

Pull-ups, thick grip clubs, and FAT gripz!

Most of you won’t need the third.

Most of you will be doing goo djust to get past the prelim stages of swinging – and not with 10 kg weights as I used for this one.

When you start out, for some of these swings, you “accomplished weightlifters out there” will find it interesting that even FIVE kilos feels like a veritable behemoth when done right.

True, you can and should work up to more, but dont get carried away by what you see on YouTube etc – those guys have been training for years and years.

I mean, even yours truly finds a 40 something kg mace damn near impossible to swing around …

Grip wise, I’m FRIED.

Try thick gripz + regular thick grip!

And pull-ups when you do Indian clubs.

You’ll feel the lats worked to the bones, and your entire back as well in a way no other exercise, not even handstand pushups can work it.

Your entire chest, shoulder clavicles etc – will all open up.

You’ll build strength in areas you never knew existed.

You’ll develop a grip of steel, and ligaments of rebar.

Injuries, if any, will be a thing of the past.

These are just a few reasons why the old timers and wrasslers trained with Mudgals, and a few reasons why YOU should do so!

More in the book, of course!

But for now, feast yourself on progression number THREE in the “Shoulders like boulders!” series – “Profound 70% Gorilla, 30% Handstand” book.

And on the second progression in the book on pull-ups i.e. “Pull-ups – from STUD to SUPER STUD – within weeks!”

Remember, if you ain’t gotten DAMN good at the books that come before, then do that first before getting the ones above.

And I’m out. Thought I’d give you a bit of a low down on my training today …

… and also, ever notice these days that anything yo uorder online these days has some issue or the other?

Like you order 5, only 3 show up …

Or, you get a two for one special offer, and gleefully buy, only to see ONE shows up.

I wonder what some of these sellers think i.e. “scrimp and save a buck”?

Then they get back to me begging not to leave poor feedback!

Just sad, what things have come to, but these mudgars – great stuff!

Back soon.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – You trap training fanatics will love the pummeling your traps get from these workouts!
