One of the worst feelings ever, I’m sure – – and especially for kids.

But anyway, from what I gather, one reason my daughter seems to be cranky today is this (and I dont know the entirety of this, obviously) – that her basketball teacher promised her some sort of some party for an upcoming festival in India, and then canceled it.

A festival I HATE – and am GLAD I’m not experiencing!

Holi.

To me, it’s always stood for hooliganism.

If you can imagine walking down the street ready to go to work, and being pelted with balloons and colors weeks before the damn festival begins, then you get some sort of an idea of the annoyance.

And especially to people who do NOT celebrate the festival.

Any other country, that sort of hooliganism would result in people getting shot, or worse.

In India, back in the day and even now most likely it’s condoned.

Ugh.

(though it’s gotten a lot better from what I hear, but it still happens).

I mean, I could never get where the fun comes in ruining other people’ days – people that dont celebrate the damned festival in the first place!

By all means pelt fellow revellers with color, balloons, and what not, but those that don’t want it – well … !

But anyway, thats another of those festivals like Diwali which in modern day India have been “extrapolated” into something they were never intended to be.

Diwali was never intended to pollute the entire country until Mars with the repeated BANG BANG of firecrackers made by slave labor first in China and then Southern India . . .

Neither was Holi intended to be hooliganism. A dab of color on the cheek yes, but nothing more than that!

Anyway, it’s all great fun for kids obviously.

And due to the plague … well!

Apparently her basketball teacher promised her and the other kids a party in that regard i.e. play ‘Holi’ during class. Nothing wrong with that – except a day later he canceled it.

I’ve seen this happen so often in Asia I cannot tell you the number of times.

Especially for things one KNOWS will never happen.

Obviously due to the plague these sort of things are banned, even in India where the law in most cases is followed “in the breach” as it were.

Yet, this guy, who I deeply admire for this teaching style told the kids one thing, then went back on his word.

Now, dont get me wrong.

I dont know what or if he said.

And I dont know if he was “forced” to take his words back. He’s not the sort of person that would disappoint!

But anyway, this brings to mind another thing – that being when you promise someone something – but that something takes ages to happen -maybe years – and the other person loses faith and claims “he never meant to do it”.

THAT is stupid too i.e. not realizing that sometimes, things don’t just happen “instantly”.

And its another of those goal setting lessons I’ve been trying to explain to my little one i.e. if you have a goal, do what it takes to get there.

“I dont want to do what it takes!”

“Then you’ll never get there, honey!”

Sad as it may sound, ADULTS are like this too – a lot.

People are lazy.

People dont want to DO what it takes to succeed at anything. Life, biz, fitness – NOBODY wants to put in the hard yards.

And PRACTICE.

Anyway, thats one thing – but what I want to tell you now is I dont make promises in the air, my friend.

On the Animal Kingdom Workouts page, for instance, you’ll see I say the course can do many things.

Two of them being a) put Viagara out of biz. b) You’ll truly join the ranks of the SUPERHUMANS by investing in this course and then DOING.

Many other things, but those two are the boldest claims.

And believe me, those of you with “little brother” issues or fitness issues – believe me, once you get on these routines – you’ll not just see, but FEEL how true my words are.

Same thing for all my other courses, and I could pimp them all day long, but I won’t.

This is a DIRECT pimp for Animal Kingdom Workouts.

Lots of you are trying to decide what book to buy NEXT. 

Well, THIS my friend for those that haven’t is the book!

And those that have – make sure to pick up our books on building dem SHOULDERS – like BOULDERS – NOW.

(Shoulders like BOULDERS!, Battletank SHOULDERS!)

Or, Pushup Central  or another ignored GEM – Advanced HIll Training.

And thats it from me.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – 20% discount ends very very soon. Jump now, my friend – remember, compilations at 20% OFF!

So, the ongoing saga on trying to persuade my daughter to whatever extent I can not to jump straight into the dumbphone upon waking up … CONTINUETH.

Every time I do this though, either on the phone or whichever way, I think of something.

How different was it back in “our day” when kids weren’t permitted to argue with their parents or even say what they WANTED in most cases.

Else – WHACK! And yelling galore …

Believe me, my oh my, how times have changed.

But anyway, the plague has wreaked havoc globally – as the CCP planned, of course.

The worst damage done by far is one we cannot see though and one that people are STARTING to wake up to – to young, impressionable kids to whom the LAST thing one should do is keep them cooped up without a ROUTINE!

And HABIT.

Anyway . . . Kiddie Fitness is one of things every kid should incorporate into their routine, but no, this email isn’t a direct or indirect pimp on that.

That brings to mind another thing I told my daughter the other day.

The “credit or no credit” routine.

And the “direct or indirect teaching” routine.

“Papa, you taught me handstands”, she’ll often say.

Yes, I did, I’ll reply. But You – DID IT!

But you taught me.

But you did it!

And it continues, until she says I DID IT!

Which is something important to learn.

Everyone learns from someone, either directly or indirectly, but the credit for DOING – and being persistent – goes to the PERSON. Not the “teacher”.

Thats something a lot of people forget.

Sure, you “give the teacher credit for teaching”.

Sure, you credit your sources.

But end of the day, your success – or FAILURE – is yours!

More important life lessons for your kids – and YOU as well.

Anyway, I got sidetracked yet again. Ugh!

Every time I sit down to WRITE … anyway, so the daughter.

I was telling her to read – write – draw – COLOR – draw her dreams – anything she wanted to BUT the damned dumbphone.

She wouldn’t, as usual.

“We need to make a habit”, I told her.

And then I explained the importance of proper habits and routines to her.

She didnt get it. She did, actually!

“You’re the most boring person in the world! You always work, work, work!”

It’s a battle these days, I’ll tell you that much! But it’s always been a battle as far as I can remember with this damned dumbphone.

Now sure, some may say “go back to the good ole days”.

Where kids had to toughen up no matter what.

But that sort of thing can irreperably RUIN one’s relationship with one’s parents. Believe me, I know how that goes – and while it may or may not have been how it was done back in the day – I’d rather take a different approach with my daughter.

And therefore I do.

Anyway, fitness.

What does this have to do with fitness, Rahul.

Well, simple, amigo.

You HAVE to make a fitness routine that you STICK to – come rain, hail, shine, or sun, or snow, or sleet, or tiredness, or the wife complaining, or the tea not tasting good, or being constipated, or hungover, or any number of excuses ADULTS make for not exercising.

That is one of the 10 Commandments of Physical (and Life) Success I lay out in The Rolls Royce of Fitness – and those 10 commandments are perhaps more important to learn and DO than the actual workouts and exercises themselves.

Making a ROUTINE – a daily routine you STICK to no matter what is KEY to success at anything, fitness included.

And lifewise, and indeed fitness wise, here is what you should do.

Reserve the first two hours, or right after waking up for you.

EVERYTHING else can wait.

It could be just fifteen minutes, or half an hour.

But reserve it for you – your thoughts – your workouts – whatever matters!

And believe me, you’ll be nigh SHOCKED at how things start to flow in your life.

For me, much as you might think otherwise, I dont work out “first thing” after waking up.

I did back in the day during those 5 AM hill climbs, but even then, thinking time was always there, if just for a few minutes.

And it was after that I did what I had to.

Now, I work on my businesses for at least two hours before anything else …

This may or may not be what you do – but you get the point!

Anyway, fitness wise, remember that getting the heart pumping is one of the best things you can for yourself after waking up – or anytime during the day, and I’ve structured the Royce so that you can get in a workout truly anyplace, anytime, anywhere!

This truly IS a fitness System EVERYONE MUST HAVE – NOW!

Jump on the train NOW.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – 20% DISCOUNT on compilations will end this week – hurry while the going is good.

PS #2 – Also, make sure to pick up Animal Kingdom Workouts if you have not already. Truly one of my BEST EVER!

In the last e-mail, I wrote to you guys about pulling off the highway when I shouldn’t – wrong Exit, I believe and I dont know if the hanky panky in the car had anything to do with it, hehe.

(Nah – not really. That was up there in NY!).

But what I did NOT tell you is this …

… is that this hombre (and I was rather fat back then with all the chicken wings I stuffed down my gourd, and the beer I regularly drank) had a “lily white” lovely white gal next to me.

My girlfriend at the time, of course … and we were in one of those tiny “Enterprise Rent a Cars”.

I think it was an economy car, or maybe it was the time we got upgraded to a wobbly SUV for free (that damn thing had a picture of  a car literally wobbling on two wheels on the windshield visors, as if to say – BE CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING THIS THING!).

That’s another story though, hehe. And another time I believe …

But anyway, this time?

I dont know, maybe we were on our way back from a vacation in Maine (waters so cold that it damn near froze your toes if you even dipped them into the ocean) . . . and we took the wrong Exit.

And before we knew it?

Grim neighborhood.

Buildings in a state of decay.

And beefy brothers all around us, staring at us suspiciously.

Now, I could give a rats ass – or two figs less about any of this.

I’ve been in a ton of hairy situations in the past, and weapon or not, I’m pretty confident in my own abilities to get the heck out of Dodge, but NOT with women around me that are “skittish”. Hehe.

Anyway, you get my drift!

Luckily within a few minutes she found a convenience store, jumped out, and the old black dude there pointed us to the right Exit.

Off we went, and the beefcakes staring at us in “gym vests” were every bit as big and menacing as those you see in Training Day when Alonzo steals “Queen Latifa’s” cash and makes off with it!

Thankfully no guns popped, hehe.

But it’s interesting.

I’ve been around big dudes all my life.

Big, imposing people . . .

And without exception, the one exercise most of them – especially the bros at the gym, and those in the hood CAN DO – and cannot do?

Can – the idiotic bench press.

CANNOT?

The eternal and mighty handstand pushup!

If you look at the REAL strongmen of yore – the REAL BEEFCAKES?

Lets face it, Doug Hepburn and Burt Asserati put together would make five men envious with their shoulder spread!

The REAL beef cakes, my friend did HANDSTAND pushups! 

And lots and lots of them!

And if that ain’t lesson enough for you – the real STUDS?

Iron Mike Tyson?

Herschel Walker?

Walter Peyton?

Any of the others?

No, for the Bozos claiming “it’s all good genetics”, it was anything BUT (much like with yours truly).

And they didnt even do the handstand pushup for high reps – they did them yes, but not high rep training!

What DID they do you ask?

PUSHUPS – FLOOR PUSHUPS – and pull-ups!

And they did EXPONENTIALLY way more pushups than pull-ups. 

Walker pounded out 3000 or so daily in his prime, and around a 1000 pull-ups.

In the Army, Marines, Special forces, they pride themselves on their pull-up ability.

Yet, what exercise do they do all the time to get ’em there!

If you thought “drop and give me 20!” you’d be right.

Iron Mike – 50 sets of 50 pushups daily! WHEW! And elbows in!

Too easy? Too simple?

Damn right?

But can you, the Bozo (I’m referring to those that claim it’s too easy) that claims its “too easy” DO IT?

That, my friend is the million dollar question and the detail that will turn you from an ordinary “mortal” to “BARNSTOMER” once you figure it out!

I’ve guided you – shown you the way.

Now, the rest is up to you.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – And remember, we still have the 20 % discount going on COMPILATIONS. Jump on this now before I pull it, my friend. Truly a “once in a lifetime” offer this.

I’ve often made no bones about the fact that HANDSTAND pushups, my friend are the bomb – and the secret key to making upper body gains that you never thought of – and that people (especially the gym goers) complain about being “dangerous” or “too easy” (interesting how they use both in the same breath huh)? – and yet CANNOT do.

An exercise that is the cornerstone of Shoulders like Boulders, and Battletank Shoulders, and one that will build Abhrams tank level shoulders in NO time at all.

If you work at it, of course – and if you do the WORKOUTS with the other exercises in it?

Well, watch out.

“These exercises will make you part human, part gorilla!”

Anyway, Charles Mitchell, a long term customer got Pushup Central last year too off Amazon I believe.

And here is what he had to say about THAT book – as well as which book amongst all of mine is his “favorite”.

As I don’t own every one of your books (yet), I can only select from the ones I do own and yes it would have to be Push Up Cental. All the workouts you outline in your books are very tough, but the ones in Push Up Central are absolutely brutal! If I am ever able to conquer any of them before I go to my grave, then I will know that I have done something truly epic with my life (LOL).

What is interesting about this choice for me is that my favorite type of push up is really the Handstand Pushup and yet I chose Pushup Central because of what I believe is a higher degree of difficulty in the workouts.

This is why I like your books. Your training is not for pussies and I doubt there are many who can accomplish even the easiest of your workouts right from jump street.

Yours truly –

Hey Charles

Thanks for getting back to me! Yeah, I’ve been to NYC before – didn’t really like it (way too much congestion for one, but then again, China’s the same even in the SMALL cities, lol) . . . but I’ve lived in NY state (Schenectady) – and I LOVED IT up there! Lots of memories, including pulling off the wrong Exit or something on a highway back in the day – – and landing up in the Albany hood without a gun, lol. Of course, gun laws there are so damn restrictive thanks to “Jackass Cuomo” and the lot (note how he’s being called out by his own party these days!) that the criminals all have ’em, but the law abiding folks dont.

Reminds me of a hilly area somewhere close to where I lived where even the cops were leery about going there, because the criminals just had so many damned weapons and the public didnt. . .

Now my favorite is Texas and the deep South (it ain’t no coincidence I’ve been called a “Texas cowboy” lol) (or a “hombre” haha) . . . you won’t see criminals doing what they do up North with impunity down there!!

Anyway, as an “ex Man in Blue” you know all this already. Haha.

YES – Pushup Central is indeed brutally effective as you can tell – and as others have pointed out too. And NO, my training will never ever be for pussies, hehe. You know that much!

Cheers – and thanks for being a great customer and a DOER – you guys make all of this worth it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee (PS – And a great discount is waiting for you too on the books – whichever one you want to buy next that is – let me KNOW – and we’ll make it HAPPEN!)

Well my friend, that is that – oh, but before I go …

An ass clown (I won’t name him) on the list complained about my “responses to emails” being too verbose.

“Why can’t you say it shortly” was the “short” email I got from him – and I’m not going to dignify it with a response for obvious reasons, but really, dude.

First it’s how dare he speak English, then how dare he sell, then how dare he write books, then how dare he sell books, then how dare he write long emails to his long term customers and friends …

Jesus, Man.

And I thought the CCP in China was overbearing!

Lawdy, as they’d say. LOL.

But really …

His favorite is the handstand pushup (I’m talking about Charles here). And Pushup Central does cover the handstand pushup, but it’s just ONE of the exercises there in (the 55 or so variations ont he pushups).

The REST is what he is referring to as super tough, all done on TWO limbs – ON the floor – HARD TRAINING – HARD STYLE!

Believe me, these workouts will make a man out of you – even if you think “they’re just pushups or too easy”.

Get on the train NOW, my friend. You’ll find out what brutally effective REAL MAN (and world) training is all about!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Another brutally effective and possibly my best ever book? Animal Kingdom Workouts. Truly – join the ranks of the SUPERHUMANS!

I was speaking to my daughter the other day, and she made a comment about heartburn, which she often has.

Now, one of the things I keep telling my daughter to do, and what she hasn’t really taken to as yet like a duck to water (but remember, repetition of the same chant …!) is this – the SQUAT position in Isometric and Flexibility Training FIRST THING in the morning after chugging water (which she doesn’t do as much of as I’d like her to) and waking up.

No dumbphones!

“Dumbphones can wait, honey. Gather your thoughts first. Yo udont want to turn into an idiot!”

(Which is precisely what people that do the dumbphone first thing in the morning – either “do” or in their routine are or turn into).

Sorry if that offends, but it’s true.

Dumbphones have made IDIOTS out of al lof us (those that aren’t DINOS!).

But anyway.

The heartburn.

She’s been having it for a while.

My wife keeps telling her to “lie on her left side” because that apparently helps digestion.

Does it?

I dont know, I’ve tried it, and yes, it seems I benefited a bit, but I wonder how much of that is due to THINKING I’ll benefit!

I’m not downing that.

But as I told my little girl, “does it SOLVE the problem“?

It didnt for her, and thats my point.

When I want somethin gdone, I SOLVE the issue. 

I DROP THE HEAVY HAMMER! 

Por ejempelo, how I handled BOzo Schofield.

I didnt just wait around hope he’d go away or pussy foot around how much I gave it to him, do, and will continue doing.

I went the whole humpty. BIG TIME!

ATTACK x 1000!

Same thing for life, and business.

when I want more business, or want to ADVERTISE, I dont go for the small fry.

I go straight to the undisputed king and big dog – AMAZON!

Thats a secret right there most of you Goggle (Google, hehe, but Freddie said goggle!) NEED to know NOW.

And in terms of the heartburn, why not STAMP it out – forever?

Do so via the squat movement I taught you in the book on isometrics.

Along with that, Animal Kingdom Workouts, or any of my other great workouts!

And you, my friend, are good – to GO!

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

Memories, memories, memories!

And they all come flooding back as I write this.

My first “cellphone” was a brick Nokia – not a “bricked” one, but you know, one of those old blue models . . . dark blue, actually. All the rage back then!

I believe my Dad pointed it out to me after college.

“Why do I even need this”, I asked.

Back then, you know, we’d pick up the phone, dial and call if we needed to! Hehe.

(Which yours truly caveman never did, preferring to stay with dial up interent, then ADSL, and now of course blazing fast fiber or what not).

I may someday embrace 5G. For now, I’m happy enough with 4G!

(And, until 2016 I believe I didnt even have a SIM card that supported 4G. Hehe. I was making do with 2G!).

But anyway …

My second phone was one I got in China which a certain “Aa Chie” (Or Aa Ling, depending upon how you look at it) put her picture on.

On the back.

It was a cheap yet “brutally effective” model I picked up a Walmart.

My S.O. (or wife, depending upon how you look at it!) tore off the picture soon after she started dating me.

“You dont need this anymore!”

Well, she was right.

And I never really “needed” the girl, but she was pretty cool (I wonder where she is NOW), I do remember, and I’ve written a book on her, and I’m fixing to start the second Volume soon, based upon demand!

Which there seems to be plenty of.

Along with a certain other “Joanie“.

Anyway, dont get me started. Hehe. Yesterday’s trip down memory lane with short skirts and mountains did it. Thank you, Panourgias!

But anyway, plenty more such inspirational and FUN trips down memory lane in the following – and if you’re a Mookerjee fan and love to read my books, you MUST have these. In fact, I have Fitness Pioneer- Volume Two sitting on my bedstand right now staring at me!

Fitness Pioneer – Volume One

Fitness Central – The READER! (or the Volumes individually – there are THREE of them).

Each contains 51 fitness tips, and you’ll love to read ’em again – and again – over and over again, and the nostalgia will wash over you as well, and not only that – you’ll pick up plenty of real life training tips and info that I may not have put in my books or videos.

And on that note!

John Walker, who has read 0 Excuses Fitness and loved it, asked about “if I do instructional videos”.

Damn right we do, bro!

The Rolls Royce of Fitness is the only product for now which has videos (other than a short one for the book on pull-ups I believe, one of them, but that is just a snippet – not a real video) . . . but the Rolls Royce has FIVE different videos, including a workout video and a great one!

And then, another great question from John.

Do you have instructional DVDs ?

Now this is a great question!

While our videos are mobile compatible and will play on computers, no DVD’s … and why?

I did actually toy around with the idea back in 2016, but given the world is going more and more towards “online” and “instant downloads” and so forth, and given most laptops these days don’t even have an external DVD ROM – I figured it wasn’t worth it.

And again, the sales and feedback etc proved I was right – WAY BEFORE people were starting to get on the “online only” bandwagon – yours truly did – and was proven right.

Right now, I can see people that used to THRIVE on selling DVD’s go the “online only” route …

So, as I told John –

Nah, no DVD’s because most people don’t want ’em at all these days – the trend seems to be “dumbphone friendly” and it only seems to be going more and more that way unfortunately (most modern day laptops don’t even have a DVD player if you’ve noticed).

But yeah, the videos play fine on the computer though (and are smartphone friendly too obviously) – but no external DVD’s … Back in the day it would make sense to do ’em that way, but these days, all seems to have gone the digital route save for a few Dinos like you and I, hehe.

Now, paperbacks you ask?

Those I DO DO – and will continue to!

But more from John – –

Hey Rahul

I’ve no wish to join the “digital age” which is why I do not own a mobile phone nor have I ever owned one.

It is sad that people feel that they have to own a mobile phone because from my observations it appears that it’s the mobile phone that owns them ….

(and then he spoke about the madness where people can barely tear themselves away from their mobile phones – an earthquake could hit right there, and they’d be staring at their phones!)

(In China, dating consists of going out and the guy and gal doing squat all except stare at their phones and pick at their food – true story!)

If you don’t do DVD’s and I understand why you don’t, do your videos come as downloadable files that I could into DVD’s for my own collection?

Warmest Regards

John.

YES! They do, my friend.

You can certainly burn the vidoes onto a DVD and watch them that way if you like – I love it that way!

But, I recently gave a HUGE stack of old movies etc I had lying around on DVD’s, and an old DVD player too (right, I gave it away – I didnt resell on Shebay etc) so I dont know – but I’ll tell you one damn thing.

If there is one thing I will NOT give away it’s my book collection!

Some of the best times I’ve ever had growing up during my tumultous childhood and indeed even now, as a certain Milan Bujak once told me “you don’t have a dull moment in your life!” were while READING.

Quietly.

Either with a beer in hand or not!

And nothing beats the feel of a good paperback my friend.

Nothing at all.

While of course,  I understand why people want to go all digital, and indeed, my entire business is founded on “digital” – paperbacks still cannot be beat for us Dinos, hehe.

And so, I still offer ’em!

As for the dumbphone?

Well, you already know my thoughts on that!

Anyway, to close off – remember, we still have the 20% special going on Barnstormer Shoulders and all our other great compilations – but I’mma pull this soon.

So jump on this now while the offer is good my friend!

And I’ll see you around.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – This should be hitting your email Inboxes soon. We WILL BE back up to speed on EMAIL today after a break of 14 days I think – way too long, but hey, such as it goes!

So, let’s hear some more feedback!

This time, from John Walker in the United Kingdom – a great, great, customer – former Samurai – a warrior “till the end” – and a NEVER SAY DIE sort of guy – MY SORTA GUY!

Kudos, John!

Hello Rahul

The number one book on my list, 100% without question is the reverse push up book, as I mentioned in a previous communication, although I found the exercise difficult to master initially (read bloody hard) once I finally cracked it the exercise has done wonders for my mobility and overall feeling of wellbeing.

Now, I know that this isn’t the sexiest exercise out there but when you get to my age the sexiest exercises aren’t always the most practical.

I would like to know what your favourite book is, just imagine that someone has a 357 Magnum pointed at your head and they tell you to make that choice or else, what would you choose and why?

Warmest Regards

John.

Now thats a great way to phrase the question, hehe.

And it reminds me of my college days where Bruce a friend and I would talk about “sexy legs” or short skirts as mentioned in the last email in a way that we’d suffix it with “Magnum” (i.e. a LOT or x 100, or what not!).

Dont know about Bruce, but I’m still a sucker for a pretty lass and them “legs in short skirts”, hehe, especially if they’re “Chinese” (no I dont have yellow fever – thats a different story there, lol).

Anyway ..

Yours truly – –

Hey John –

Great to hear back from you, and thanks again for your feedback! Its interesting you mention the word “sexiest” – another guy got back to me with (I was asking him where he was from specifically to reconfirm what I already knew) … and he got back to me with the following “short skirts and mountains”.

If there ever was something that run TRUE – it is that – and the way you described the exercise we’re talking about! Believe it or not a girl once said “my you know what” was “poking out” as I did it apparently – and women love those sort of contortions (especially the “best damned exercise” variant of it!) so it probably IS one of the sexier exercises out there after pull-ups.

And of course, the benefits are manifold – I was 26 when I first discovered the basic reverse pushup, and I’ve never ever looked back since then.

Pushups, well, women don’t fancy brutal so much as “sexy”, lol.

And of course real men and “birds of a feather” flock together if you get my drift! 😉 Hehe.

Now me? I’d say the book on pull-ups (the compilation – not just one by itself) but certainly if they asked me to choose – I’d choose that due to the combo of “sexy and SUPER tough” which we all want! But if that Magnum was pointed at me asking me which is the most BRUTAL of my books – the most RUGGED?

The SHINING Jewel in the Crown of my books, basically, and if even the Bozos admit it, well … Hehe. (The pull-up compilation that is). 

Battletank Shoulders without exception (or Barnstormer if one wants the “whole shebang”).

Those workouts truly do make you half gorilla half human, but believe me, tough choice – the pull-ups will make your upper body SING like never before. Combine both together, and you’ll turn into a human version of Tarzan in no time – just keep the “Janes” out of sight of the Mrs, hehe.

Last, but not least, remember that if you like “0 Excuses Fitness” – you’ll love the videos included with the digital download too (just mentioning it since you have the book itself). And I do a lot of that reverse pushup and “best damn exercise” in real time (you’ve seen part of it on YouTube already) but if you ever choose to get the videos – you’ll love ’em!

(and obviously since you’ve got the paperback already, there is an auto discount on that one for you if and when you’re interested).

Cheers, and thanks again for the great feedback as always – – much appreciated bro!

Rahul   (PS – Bozo has finally gone silent, hehe, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing back and chuckling once again. I think I’ll be back to speed on email tomorrow – see how it all goes)!

So thats more great feedback, and curiously enough, what I said in the LAST email about “how to breathe” holds true for Johns’s comment too, as this is the exercise that actually taught me how to do it the right way – – and what I’m passing on to YOU NOW!

As for the book on pull-ups?

Well, here’s more on what Panourgias said …

I am 57 years old 1.78 m 66 kg but ican change my weight anyway I like slim but strong and with your books I will be even more for sure and in better condition which is the most important

Yours truly?

Slim and strong is the most important, yes! That is exactly the sort of look I like – and the sort of STRENGTH I’ve always wanted – – that sort of “wiry, muscles rippling under skin” without being too bloated like the boobybuilders – – and “steel and whalebone”.

And pull-ups of course along with everything else I do is a great way to get there, especially in terms of that “X” shape to your body I keep writing about!

Train hard (and keep enjoying the short skirts and perhaps cold BEER, hehe).

Well, my friend, there it is – straight from the horse’s mouth as it were!

I’m sure the Bozo is saliving, grunting, gnashing and licking his chops as he speaks, “pounding” the keyboard in frustration. Poor chap, lol.

Anyway, DOERS – YES – the book on pull-ups is a must get – and the Rolls Royce of Fitness as well!

I’m luvin it – so are YOU – and they!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P S- And yes, remember, the 20% discount on compilations is very much still active, though I ain’t sure for how much longer, so get your roll on NOW, nikka.

And for a person whose (English) is not his “first language” as it were, he said amazingly well and SO SUCCINTLY – that I’m wondering if I should leave the feedback on this one up to HIM!

Truly a man I’d salute right now, if just for saying that, hehe.

Anyway, short skirts, mountains, HARD Workouts and cold beer – what more could a man ask for, eh.

And if you were to ask Panourgias from Greece, a great and long term customer … well, I’m sure he’d agree!

But nah, for those that think the short skirts motivated me to do those long, long workouts – they’d be WRONG …

… and partially right. Hehe.

I won’t divulge more details here, but girls wearing short skirts as they climb with me ?

I dont know.

Every woman I’ve ever climbed with me has wanted to “stop and smell the roses”, and I’ve always told her to BUCK up and do it LATER – and of course, it didnt go anywhere.

Except for Ann Lee, mentioned on the page of Advanced Hill Training for a reason!

She truly did ENJOY training that way – and did so usually in jeans and canvas sports shoes.

And sometimes long flowing skirts, which I always told her not to wear, but of course, girls will do the opposite of what we “want”, hehe.

Like a certain “Princess Joanie” I once knew did!

She would want people to … ah, but this isn’t about her.

And I never climbed with her.

But she loved long skirts too, and was gorgeous!

From Guangdong no less …

Anyway, enough on that front!

And here’s some fantastic feedback I just received from Panourgias in response to my last question about which product is the BEST (for YOU!).

(Before that though, yes, I get it. Short skirts tend to get ME out of breath, and I’m sure they DO you as well. Joanie’s did for sure! Hehe. )

But this isn’t about that sorta out of breath!

I think  rolls Royce is my favourite .with isometrics becomes complete.Rahul I am not very good in English so I ask you what is the recovery tip in videos with breathing?

Yours truly – –

Hi Panourgias –

Thanks for getting back to me!! Yes, you’re right – – Rolls Royce is indeed one  of the bestselling products along with Pushup Central and Gorilla Grip . . .

By the way, where are you from – Greece? Just curious, if you dont mind my asking! 🙂

No problem with regard to language – the recovery tip is basically this – when you’re breathing hard – REALLY, REALLY out of breath – then you don’t simply “gulp down” air as many or most do. Indeed that is a natural urge when under stress – – but the right thing to do is a) keep breathing through the nose (and not through the mouth) as I advocate in the book and b) HOLD the breath in for as long as you can, and then exhale SLOWLY.

You’ll find that this may seem tough initially, and you might feel lightheaded etc, but trust me – in terms of recovery it works like a charm – – I use it all the time for the reverse pushup a.k.a the “best damned variant” – and it works great!

Try it, and let me know how it works for you – – and again, thanks for the great feedback much appreciated – – and remember – – I’ve got a great discount waiting for YOU (as a long term customer and DOER) when you’re ready to get the book on pull-ups or any other – – let me know!

Well, my friend, there it is.

I’ve just given away a super important tip that YOU Can use to recover quicker from your workouts – not sure about the short skirt workouts, hehe, but the REAL workouts – that us REAL MEN engage in!

More from him – –

my origin is from middle greece around delphi oracle with the short skirts mountains etc

And thats where the short skirts came from.

Short skirts, Mount Paranuss – the fabled Oracle of Delphi, the most FAMOUS AND FEARED window into the will of the Gods!

Truly SPECTACULAR, my friend.

Yes, the discount is in your Inbox by now Panourgias – you should be getting it by now.

And that, my friend, is that for this one. I’ll have more feedback from you shortly!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Yes, there is a reason the Rolls Royce of Fitness is numero uno both on the products page, and in terms of SALES (along with the other two books up there). Get it – and you’ll find out why!

We’ll get to that in a minute, but first … here’s a question that popped into my mind.

I asked it on the Ship forum (well, I asked the members individually) – and I think I’m going to email a few of my great customers personally and then ask …

(but they’ll probably see it here anyway, so ..)

But the question is, and since email is still down for the most part (although for some strange reason the site emails work) – – here it is.

If you had to choose ONE book out of my great books as your favorite – which one would it be?

Write back – and let me know!

And now, for the title of this email, and the subject matter.

(It’s interesting I’m still calling ’em emails, though they’re just getting posted on here, but no worries – WE – will be – BACK – sooner than you expected – in that regard too!).

When Chet Carson broke out of a max security hellhole prison he had NO idea what was waiting for him.

The way he got in there, you ask?

Well, a robbery that was supposed to give him and an accomplice easy money crashed.

And while the robbery went south, they could still have escaped.

Chet lost his nerve and got caught.

His pal didnt.

In court, he was man enough not to “rat” on his pal (cops didnt have a clue about who else was involved).

Got sent to hell, broke out (I dont blame him, hehe) – – and then ended up in a pretty cushy job in “nowheresville” where he could have really made good money.

His past caught up with him though, and he got tangled in a web of deceit and blackmail he did nothing at all to deserve or want.

One thing led to another.

The person who gave him a job – a person Chet truly respected got shot.

And at the end of the tale, you have Chet himself getting shot and waiting for “death to come” as his pal who he supported by not ratting on him in court ends up walking away with stolen money to the tune of 100, 000 bucks (or more, probably given the currency appreciation and all that).

That in a nutshell is the story the great James Hadley Chase wrote, one of his numerous books about people looking to strike it big.

Aiming for “easy money”.

The bling, the moolah, the big money.

Except, he also made mention in his books of the Laws of the Universe – one of them.

That being, Come Easy, go Easy.

Emerson in his Laws of Compensation explained this so well when he said “all excesses are balanced”.

The same dualism underlies the nature and condition of man. Every excess causes a defect; every defect an excess. Every sweet hath its sour; every evil its good.

Every faculty which is a receiver of pleasure has an equal penalty put on its abuse. It is to answer for its moderation with its life. For every grain of wit there is a grain of folly. For every thing you have missed, you have gained something else; and for every thing you gain, you lose something.

If riches increase, they are increased that use them. If the gatherer gathers too much, nature takes out of the man what she puts into his chest; swells the estate, but kills the owner.

Nature hates monopolies and exceptions. The waves of the sea do not more speedily seek a level from their loftiest tossing, than the varieties of condition tend to equalize themselves.

There is always some levelling circumstance that puts down the overbearing, the strong, the rich, the fortunate, substantially on the same ground with all others. Is a man too strong and fierce for society, and by temper and position a bad citizen, — a morose ruffian, with a dash of the pirate in him;—— nature sends him a troop of pretty sons and daughters, who are getting along in the dame’s classes at the village school, and love and fear for them smooths his grim scowl to courtesy. Thus she contrives to intenerate the granite and felspar, takes the boar out and puts the lamb in, and keeps her balance true.

There is more to this, of course, but thats part of what he wrote.

And it’s TRUE my friend.

What comes easy usually goes away just as easy and unexpectedly.

I’d rather be the sort of person that gets what I have the right way i.e. BUILD my business on a stable foundation, watch it grow, take all the right actions, so that what comes doesn’t “go away easy”.

I’d rather be the sort of person that stays true to myself, and gives you products that CHALLENGE you to become a BETTER – much better – version of you.

As Charles Mitchell, a great customer of mine said, the only reason Im not as a rich as Jeff Bezos (hehe) is because I don’t “dilute” the quality of my products just to sell more books.

(paraphrased, and obviously the “rich as…” part was a figure of speech, but it’s more true than it sounds!)

And I’d never ever do that, because to me, that ain’t real.

That ain’t what I’m about.

That ain’t what I want YOU to be.

That don’t mean that financial goals or any goals are bad. I’ve got tons of them, and have had tons in the past, and have cracked and bettered any goal I’ve truly set for myself – financial or otherwise. I strongly encourage YOU to do the same!

And the same law applies to fitness.

“easy gains” never last, my friend.

And you just have to look at the nuts on crash diets etc, or those that starve themselves skinny thin and then bloat up to more than they were before to see the truism of this (just one example).

Hard training, brutally effective, hard workouts, day after day – done no matter what – will bring you gains like nothing else will, much like money you put in the bank patiently that grows, grows, grows, until one day …

That is what it’s all about my friend.

And for brutally effective training – no book encapsulates that maxim better than Pushup Central – truly one of my best ever – grab it now!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – No, it ain’t just pushups. No, it’s not “too easy”. Get the book, and take up the CHALLENGE, my friend, and you shall SEE.

PS #2 – Also, remember to pick up Animal Kingdom Workouts right HERE.

Back when I did the dancing monkey routine in China (ugh! I only did it for a very brief period, but I did do enough of it to know it’s something to be avoided like the proverbial plague from there) – it was interesting.

The overriding chant was (after “he’s a good teacher” from the sensible students that actually got their shyt together – DID what I asked them to do – and therefore learned and progressed) “how dare he”.

And I wasn’t the only one they ranted against (some of these idiotic so called students that thought throwing a wad of RMB’s at anything solved the problem).

It was foreign devils in general.

And this sentiment persisted even when I was doing “real jobs” (which was WAYYY back in the day) .

These foreigners are only here because they can’t get jobs back home.

Well, Sparky my little genius, I for one got a job in India first and that job transferred me there. HA! And back in the day, MOST expats got a job back home FIRST before being transferred to the hinterlands or the boonies, whichever you call it.

Moreoever, if we were and are really all that expendable, then why HIRE us at inflated prices (according to some we got paid a lot more than the locals or what not)?

HA! One more time.

Then the ESL B.S.

If it was indeed a matter of “Oh! All foreigners learn English! Whats the big deal!” then why did these Bozos with all their travel not pick it up “by living abroad” ?

Second, and I posed this question often to piss people off.

“You know, fella, since we’re all so useless, why are you paying the learning center big bucks to learn from us”.

The anger at me saying that – hehe. It had the desired impact. One student even stalked up to the CEO of the center with mini skirt flying in tow claiming “it was because of Rahuls’ infatuation with the AC in summer that she caught cold, and not because she was dressed for the damned beach instead of the bloomin’ classroom) …

SOme of the stories I’ve got, I gotta laugh.

Then my “beautiful wife”.

During our arguments she claims “I only got all the sales I did because I was educated in the U.S.” (her meaning is “you can speak English well, so you got what you did”).

Again, if there ever was a more retarded comment than this I am yet to hear it? 

Bozo Schofield (and a coupla other morons I won’t even get into here) yes, but other than him …

It was a typically female comment designed to obfuscate the real issue, but it dropped me dead in my tracks.

I’ve heard it years ago before, of course.

When I got a raise at that very job I talk and write about so much, it was pooh pooh’ed off as “nothing, thats easy!”

HA!

x 1000!

If it were that easy, why wasn’t the entire world selling, and doing so better (because we’re ALL selling whether we know it or not)?

I wonder why CEO’s of all companies, big, small, intermediate and startup focus on one thing the most – SALES?

And most of all, this so called good education I got which when I got was dissed as being “useless” and now it’s good, and (from my wife again) “it’s useless these days”.

(It’s useless, yet it isnt. Go figure!)

Of course, she never did tell me what good her Master’s degree is doing her (the one she quit midway) and how much she sold, earned, or how many businesses she tried, failed at, got up again, failed again, tried again and so forth . . . (or  if her degree had anything to do with getting the jobs she has had in the past) . . .

Why would she, hehe.

But really, my friend.

Good sales is about SO much more than speaking the same language.

I wonder if Ted Nicholas, Zig Ziglar, Joe Girard, Napoleon Hill (from up there), Claude Bristol or any of the other greats are reading this, because they’ll be spitting their coffee out.

I guess the millions they eventually sold, and what they did as they got there was all because “they knew how to speak English”.

HA!

An entire art it is ..

And One I do damned well, amongst other things if I might say so myself, backed up with solid PROOF.

Dont get me wrong – good communication is always an asset no matter what, but it wasn’t handed to me on a platter.

Yours truly worked for it, built up an innate skill, and got where I am myself – not due to some Nazi feminist rant of “he got it all on a platter ” when he didnt.

Same thing for fitness, my friend.

It was the opposite of getting it on a platter, and that alone probably qualifies me to bring what I do to YOU.

And sales.

I’m damn good at it. Always have been, and dont plan on getting worse either.

Hey, gotta justify those long ass sales letters, >7500 words in some cases!

But I love writing them.

Barnstormer Shoulders.

Animal Kingdom Workouts.

And of course, the 0 Excuses Fitness System, and all my other products.

And now that I’ve got that off my chest, the last pimp here is for the 10 Commandments of Successful Sales – YES – in ANY economy.

Pick these stellar products up NOW, my friend -you’ll be glad you did.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Remember the discount we have going on … (on the compilations) …
