No matter how tough times might be, no matter how “challenging” things might seem, I have learned two things in life, my friend.

First, there is always a solution for every legitimate problem.

(Read Napoleon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil for more on this) – and you’ll understand, but thats the sum and substance of it.

Two, if you really, really want something, you will find a way to get it and GET it no matter what.

(my whole life is an example).

And three, what is the name of that strange force that somehow, unexpectedly, throws its full weight, and lo, what a WEIGHT it is! – behind the person who never stops trying – who is PERSISTENT after the entire world (and then some) has given up on him ?

That power is called the power of persistence.

Read Think and Grow Rich for more on that, my entire life – and Napoleon Hill, whose life my own most closely (not by design) mirrors – is proof enough of this.

We are what we picture, my friend. Same thing for results.

This morning, I wrote a long email to you about being DISGUSTED – and then some.

That email is HERE.

Perhaps one of the reasons that I did not mention in that email I get so disgusted with folks in general is they refuse to follow the “picture it” maxim, instead choosing to wallow in self pity and “times are tough” and other BS.

I mean, lets face it, if your mind alone could drag you out of what you’re in – why not?

But anyway, after that email I wrote another one about why I hate braggarts (buffoon Central in general).

Then off it was for my workout.

A pull-up and Gorilla Grip workout today, when you want to FRY the entire upper body (remember, this was after my jump rope workout, pushups and club work – and stretching this morning) – you do pull-ups, period. BRUTAL is all I can say.

In the middle of that I did fingertip pushups – another hidden secret to crushing, ape like grip strength I keep talking about in both the book above, and also in Gorilla Grip (ADVANCED!)

But I also did something I don’t normally do.

I sent emails – quite a few of them – while working out.

Now, yall that know me KNOW I never take the dumbphone with me to workout, but sometimes, as I just told a certain Angel (who really brought angelic news to me!) “Life happens”.

It does.

And to me, my site being down for even one minute is way too much.

I pride myself, much like Amazon does, on always staying online no matter what.

And while half a day, or a few hours might not seem like a lot to most folks, to me it was an eternity.

And that email you got in the park about “Back online!” with no subject?

Well, I was typing on the dumbphone, y’all know how much I cannot do that – and hate to do it, but I had to inform you anyway!

And now here I am, writing to you from the computer again.

The result I pictured this morning came instantly, except not what I had asked for, what I asked for came a few hours later.

But it did come, and in the most unexpected manner.

This is why I keep talking about the power of visualization, my friend, and if you have not yet, then pick up Zero to Hero, and read the opening bit in that book very very carefully. Underline words with a red felt pen if you must, and understand the EMOTIONS behind what I wrote, and you’ll start to get it.

Anyway – my host is the best ever. I cannot praise them enough, as we’re back online with “renewed” hardware and such – all systems GO!

I must also say, my writing businesses – both of them – they NEVER go down, not just because of my dedication to them – but also the super hosts I use – and also because of that little thing of doing what you were TRULY meant to do I keep talking about, but not everyone gets it…

Come rain, come hell, come shine, come high water, they’re there for me, always have been, always will be, so I will I be for them.

So I will be for YOU too, the DOERS – the guys that DO get back to me – the guys that DO leave reviews, the guys that most of all, DO the thing!

Thats what makes it all worth it.

Anyway, I’m off to do up yet another great, great review for my hosts – one of them.

And that reminds me, a lot of you have not done up reviews as yet.

Please do so, I see no reason why the answer should be “no” to that one.

Thank you!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Back soon!

This afternoon, I went for a long, long walk outside – and then in the park.

I had to think.

Like Napoleon Hill, I often get out in the fresh open spaces – or as fresh as can be, anyway – to THINK.

I was walking vigorously nowhere really, then along came the pull-up stand – or the swing set where I sometimes do ’em, rather – the monkey bars, and so forth.

Popped off a few reps of this and that, remember, this was post 1500 jump ropes and 100 pushups at home.

Friend of mine, the same guy who keeps mentioning my core and saying “how attractive it looks” came over.

“Do you still run, Rahul”, he asked me.

I told him I never ran, never did pavement pounding etc, then the conversation moved on.

“Bodyweight exercises are best”, the guy kept saying.

This is the dude who said he could do 40 straight reps on the dip bars – and the same guy that wanted to do pull-ups, keeps sort of complaining about never being able to do ’em, keeps ooh aahing those (like me) that can – but when I tell him HE can do it, he needs to just try – and keep trying  – well, you got it. Crickets.

Another dude came on over, well built sort of dude.

Goes to the gym, runs, sometimes does bodyweight exercises too.

I asked him how many pushups etc he could do.

“80-100”, he replied instantly. 

In one set?? We both asked him.

He paused, giving me the once over.

“Well, if it’s strict slow reps … maybe 40-50 per set”.

Now, all these numbers being bandied about, I’ve no idea if either one of those dudes can DO ’em – or ever could.

Perhaps they could, I dont know.

But I’ll tell you, 80-100 pushups without stopping is super stud stuff, my friend, regardless of which pushup you do or how you cut it.

Provided you do ’em right, strict form.

Personally me,  I do ’em in sets of 25, as y’all know -and have SEEN.

As I say in Fast and Furious Fitness, also in Pushup Central.

“Be the guy that can knock out pushups in PROPER form, not the braggart who claims he can do 100, but all in lousy form. Trust me, I can make ONE pushup harder than a 100!”

A “fact of the matter”, “no nonsense” statement this, and it’s true.

One way to make it harder is how my friend was saying they should be done.

“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6… on the way down”, he went – and then same thing on the way up. 

Not quite that slow, I laughed.

But he’s right, doing pushups SLOWLY is far tougher than bouncing them off half ass in poor form that I’ve seen way too many people do …

(and you CAN do ’em the way he was saying, except that makes it SUPER TOUGH!)

Anyway, it was a great conversation overall.

And the two guys kept coming back to this.

“But bodyweight exercises are the best and toughest. The gym might be good for a bit of toning, but thats it”

One of them even spoke about how strength gained in bodyweight exercises translates over to the Gym.

“But that dont happen the other way around does it”, I laughed.

They agreed.

As well with the fact that during covid, it …

“There is nothing else to do, business is down everywhere, might as well use the time to get FIT!”

True that. Hehe.

Except, yours truly thinks fitness should be done ALL the time – in good times, bad, and in between.

It’s what keeps us sane and healthy … And if you can do your home workout outdoors, in the park , or mountain top or what not – so much the better!

Takeaway from all this – GET the books above.

Two, start TODAY, my friend. No matter where you’re at fitness wise, you have to start SOMEPLACE – to get SOMEPLACE. It’s as simple as that. Gains dont come overnight, my friend.

And three, as more and more people are getting tired of escalating gym costs etc (the two there today were discussing how expensive gyms have become) – and having to go there, finding one near your place, running around there or what not …

… As more people are doing bodyweight only and getting in the best shape of their lives, they’re discovering that sometimes simple is indeed the best, and bodyweight does indeed TRUMP all.

Lots of lessons for you too there, my friend.

Back soon!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

Ps – I’ve been emailing the offers out etc lately willy nilly, crazy like a madman, hehe. Please don’t make me crawl through broken glass on my elbows  – or show up in thy living room with a BUGLE, hehe – to get you to take action on these my friend. Visit the rewards page, and check out our offers – and get a few products NOW, because those offers will not last forever. Go NOW, my friend.

My oh my, how far have we come. Hehe.

I still remember the first introduction I did for the 0 Excuses Fitness System videos – the first video I put out publicly for sale (other than one that I gave Glyn Bozo, hehe, he took that and “trampolined” it all over WeChat and stuff, trolling it, but ended up making me an instant “celebrity” there too, hehe while getting his ass booted from wherever he spammed it).

Me sitting on the couch, talking to you – which for some reason, I never ever put into the actual package you guys get – when you purchase the downloadable version of 0 Excuses Fitness.

The intro I DID put in there – far shorter, and far “crisper” – and a far more “excitable” Rahul talking to you. I still remember that blue long sleeved T shirt I was wearing in Elizabeth’s apartment (mine, I rented it from her) when I created that video at around 2 PM or so, right before I was going to step out for my afternoon workout on the HILL.

But now, years later or so it seems, I’m revisiting the original – taken by Cindy on a nice summer evening in China (August, I believe, or maybe July) – at around 6PM in my apartment.

The first video she took, then she took the rest you see in the System.

Then she took 5 more !

She is a TROOPER – she even edited all the pictures you see in the 0 Excuses Fitness System book – since my phone couldn’t handle it at the time.

A very nice lady indeed, and as she smiled while taking the “lao shi’s” (teacher in Chinese) video (I used to teach her English too back in the day) – it was truly the stars aligning at that point in time – big time.

You can see “grade one term papers” if you look closely, hehe.

That was me creating the list of things I wanted to talk to you about on the back of some papers I had graded for the kids at Balboa school.

I never got around to that list!

I’m not good at speaking from lists, much like a certain Steve Austin isn’t. At his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, he had this MASSIVE list he wanted to speak from – held in his hand, yet, he barely looked at it. Hehe.

It helps to prepare the subconscious mind, yes, but once you speak, or at least that is how I do it, all scripts, if they were ever there, go out the window.

Maybe thats why although I got called a movie star all the time, still do, I’ll never be one. Hehe.

Too much of a renegade is yours truly!

Anyway …

Check out the video HERE –

And subscribe to the channel, we’ve got great stuff coming for you.

And of course, write back and tell me the difference between the two intro’s – those of you that have BOUGHT the System.

And if you have not yet bought the super lative, once in a lifetime best fitness system ever, then please stop procrastinating, dallyin around and so forth, and get it NOW.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Glyn Bozo on a trampoline? Poor thing, and I dont mean the Bozo, hehe.

PS #2 – My “adorable fringe” isn’t that prominent in the video up there, but it in the ones you guys buy. Hehe.

A certain “Chuck” may want to read this.

Remember him, the guy who even by his own admission is obese – and once claimed “uphill cycling is easier for his girlfriend” (who ain’t skinny by any stretch of the imagination, but not “fat” either) (at least, she wasn’t when I saw her) “because he has more mass than her”, and … i.e. what he meant was because he is a lot fatter than her, and therefore…

And, the same guy that bitched up a storm about a post on pull-ups and handstand pushups saying “you just say just do it, and that doesn’t help!” – which wasn’t even directed at me.

And, the same dude who claims he could, by virtue of his “mass” pick me up and throw me out of the window (I wonder if he’d still have a lower back left after picking up a wriggling mass like me. Hehe. Thats what I keep saying about odd object lifting in Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness for one. It’s one thing to bench, curl, or deadlift while seated on your arse or your back – or standing – and a weight that is somewhat easy to grip and doesn’t move about – its quite another to say, press a beer barrel sloshing around with liquid – and fit human beings that know how to counter the move, well…)

Now, the cycling thing – I basically tried telling him “F= mass x acceleration”.

And if he was truly “big” and not fat as he claims, then muscle x acceleration produced by muscle actually makes you go FASTER – either uphill or downhill or on flat land – than someone with less muscle mass.

I swear, the excuses people come up with.

I debunked all the above very thoroughly in prior emails and you guys on the list have read about it many times – if not, search the site, you’ll find it here too most likely (i.e. those same emails posted here).

But for a minute, lets talk old time strongmen – real strongmen.

Lets talk people like say .. Alexander Zass, who I’ve been talking about all day today!

Him on the cover of my pathbreaking, world famous, much loved and much trolled book on isometrics – secret Russian movements you did NOT know about that will catapult your strength levels and rep counts for one to hitherto UNHEARD OF LEVELS – and boost your overall energy, health, flexibility (YES! most people dont think flexibility, but thats why the book is named “Isometric and Flexibility Training“) – and Sense of WELL BEING, and SANG FROID – through the bloody roof.

Guy that broke chains with his bare hands, bent bars with his bare hands (prison cell bars). (and escaped)

If you look at his pictures, he’s covered in a ton of muscle.

And look at the abs, sure enough, 6 pack ++ popping through .

But, there’s no “slim waist” – or even what you might expect from a “corrugated core” guy.

Yet, dude ain’t fat. There ain’t a lick of fat on him, it’s all muscle.

Reminds me of what my buddy from the Marines once told me when I was aiming for that look. 

“You dont look like you did before, but you’re not fat!” 

(He was referring to the “Eat More Weigh Less” look “before”)

That sort of training gives you a THICK waist, my friend, unless you specifically counter it with more intense cardio – think someone like Jason Statham for one.

Or, John Grimek, old time strongman who had the look down to a T.

Back to STRENGTH?

Look at Doug Hepburn.

Neither Doug nor Zass would be called “slim” …

And, in some of the pictures, their stomachs look positively distended.

Yet, it’s muscle that is causing that to happen- and lack of intense cardio, but when you lift that much, you GET a lot of cardio anyway.

Trust me on this, if you don’t believe me, fill a 10 kg back with sand and try hoisting it overhead for 20 reps at a go.

Your heart will literally be thumping out of your chest – thats if you can get to 20 in a row, which most cannot.

Thats real BIG guys.

Not guys with bellies hanging down to the ground, not guys with “Dustbin Schofield aka Gyn” like man tits desperately flopping around, not guys with saggy massive butts..

Those guys regardless of whether or not they have muscle are plain ole FAT. Thats just how it is, friend.

Now, if you want LEAN AND MEAN?

Fighting MACHINE?

That look most of us so want deep down inside?

You look at me in Eat More – Weigh Less.

You look at some actors back in the day – Stallone in the 80’s, or perhaps Akshay Kumar, Indian movie star in the 90’s.

You can tell a martial artist by the way he walks – and the utter lack of fat on the chest (that is a huge giveaway area for most men) – and the core in general.

When I say utter lack of fat, I MEAN that.

But yours truly, in my bid to give you the very best – I keep changing looks in that regard too.

In Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness, you’ll see a somewhat bulkier – yet still super fit – me.

Because that, my friend is how YOU will get if you do the workouts and routines from just that book, and nothing else.

That don’t mean you should do nothing else.

All depends on your goals…

Anyway, wanted to post that for ya.

Let me know what you think!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – If you haven’t yet placed the pre-order for Lumberjack “Lodestone” Fitness – what are you waiting for? Do so NOW.

One fine day, there I was in the park around 330 PM or so, watchin the “Evenings” sink in. Or, I should say, watching afternoon turn into evening.

’twas a peaceful afternoon, very much so, and I kept remembering another park – the one I CLIMB the mountain in – the one where I have spent some of the best and more pleasurable hours of my life thus far – and no doubt will keep doing.

In all my travels, I dont know , that park stands out!

Maybe it’s because it’s near where I lived, it’s near where I lived when I FIRST went to China in 2003, maybe, I dont know, the workout is so solid, so severe, yet, it’s not that huge a hill to completely wipe you out for days (although most first time climbers like yours truly with Ann Lee in 2004 – yes, you’ll feel like a Mack truck ran over you the next day).

Anyway …

So I was so relaxed, at peace with the world and so forth.

Suddenly, my eye chanced upon a STICK.

Hiding in the grass, it was one of those “rattan cane sticks x 10” i.e. a short, stout, bamboo stick you could say.

Or, an “extra thick” twig – almost a branch.

Instantly, I picked it up. I knew this was going to be good!

I looked around for its owner. There was none.

No Glyn Bozo around either to shove it in his rear end. Ugh. The movie I saw yesterday, Statham literally puts the end of a gun into a lard ass’s back side while wanting info from him, and “rams it in” – big time!

Crank 2 is truly one of “those” movies. Ugh. Before doing that, Statham even dips the gun barrel in some icky black construction sludge …

The look on his face when he sees Bozo’s ass (I mean, the Bozo in the movie who had man tits flapping down to his ankles like Glyn does) – just priceless!

Anyway ……..

I started doing isometrics with it.

I tried to bend it as hard as I could. Couldn’t!

Then I tried doing it behind my back. Couldn’t!

Then, I employed different gripping techniques. Same thing!

The stick fighting scenes from Rambo III came to mind – I did some imaginary moves (believe me, stick fighting is very real, very deadly too if you do it right).

Then, I took it home with me.

My wife and daughter were at the time in another park, so I ended up going to that other park to “find em”.

First thing my wife said?

“We’re not cows to herd home!”

Hehe.

But of course, as I knew, my little girl, who loves collecting stuff from parks would LOVE it, and she DID.

She appropriated it almost instantly.

Much to my surprise, so did my wife!

She instantly did stretching exercises with it.

My wife grew up in an area where grown men pound the heck out of each other and where “honor killings” etc occur regularly – and they dont use these sticks – they use massive thick BAMBOO sticks – oiled too.

So she knows a thing or two about Nature in that regard.

But anyway …

You, or some of you reading this might be inclined to yawn and say “so what”.

“So simple”.

Indeed, idiots, Bozos and morons globally will say that – some who have bought Isometric and Flexibility Training and complain about it being too simple.

And I didnt even put “trying to bend a stick ” in the book – the Bozos would have coronaries instantly.

Yet, the smarties?

Ever hear of Alexander Zass, who performed feats of strength like breaking thick iron chains with his bare hands, or bending steel prison bars to literally escape from prison during the War?

Or, maybe the Mighty Atom Joseph Greenstein who once pulled a plane by his HAIR?

You might think the above two instances are heresay, but they ain’t either. There’s videos out there on it, and I just watched a couple of them before writing this to you.

Here is one – so spectacular I had to put it here –

Now, a lot of you – even those of you that pooh poohed the style of training above as being “too easy” might love the video above.

I know I did.

But – did you know how these guys all trained?

Did you know the Great Gama did isometrics to build his nigh prodigious pushing strength – and what he did was this – he simply pushed against a massive oak tree for a while daily.

That is all.

If I put that in the book, idiots have coronaries, yet, here we have one of the world’s best wrestlers period, swearing by this, and several other training methods I teach.

“When I can push that tree down, a man will be easy!” The Gama often said.

Now, he never did push the tree down as far as I know.

Neither did I manage to break that branch.

But my grip was singed, my shoulders, triceps, chest, all were worked in a way they were NEVER worked before when I Did this, my friend.

In China, there is a tool which you can actually bend in this way behind your back in various positions – a rubber springy kinda thing, its great. But doing it with a stick you cannot break – far better!

Anyway, so how did the great Zass train?

I commenced now to think a lot about developing great strength in my fingers. Many things I tried, all helping, some of which I will tell you. I bent thick, green twigs with my hands, these being better than dry wood, which would not bend much before it would snap. I practised this a good deal until my hands became so strong that I could bend even small boughs of trees till they broke. Also I tried lifting stones off the ground with my thumb and fingers, carrying them in my grip for some distance.

Or, this –

The Russian Training Secret

Alexander Zass was very innovative and started bending green branches and twigs to develop his grip strength. Perhaps this was the start of his great belief in the application of isometrics and “maximum tension” (a concept that is present in Russian training methods to this day) for the development of strength.

He believed such an approach superior to the use of weights in developing strength. While a POW he continued to develop his strength with the use of isometrics by pulling on the bars and chains that imprisoned him.

This episode and the knowledge that he obtained from it later became the basis of his mail order course which featured isometrics in the form of pulling on chains of various lengths.

Alexander Zass lived a very full and exciting life on many fronts. In addition to being a strongman, he was also an accomplished animal trainer. as well as a superspy.

Again, Bozos globally complaining the book on isometrics is too simple would be well served by reading the above.

And to these Bozos, I wonder – have they even DONE the thing before commenting?

Have you FELT the soreness in your hamstrings with some of the stretches I teach in the book – have you GOTTEN in the patented Rahul Mookerjee squat – have you TRIED pushing against a wall till the back of your arms literally feel swollen and the triceps are screaming out loud?

In most cases, the answer is NO. A resounding NO at that!

Here is one of those silly rants from an idiot in Italy who was apparently ticked off that Sylvester Stallone’s photographer didnt do the photos…

Awful!

Honestly, one of the worst fitness ebooks I’ve ever read (and I’ve read quite a few); it’s a simple bunch of static stretches and bodyweight exercises. A shallow recommended programming, and the photos quality is simply unwatchable. And never, never all of this for € 46!
Not recommended

’nuff said on the bozos.  (I do not know where he got the 46 Euro figure from – maybe I was offering the book at a discount then – and this is also precisely I price my books high, period to ensure Bozos in general dont get at them).

My friend, this book goes ABOVE and BEYOND what a lot of the greats did.

And I’m just getting started – there is far more to isometrics than what is in this book, i.e. the 51 exercises and then the workouts I give you, but for most people, it is also MORE than plenty to get you in great shape – loose, limber, and improve your strength by leaps and bounds.

Obviously, isometrics are not the ONLY workout you should do – but you’d be amazed at how getting better at isometrics improves rep counts and performance on other seemingly unrelated exercises – like pushups, for one.

Combine isometrics, my friend, with the workouts in the 0 Excuses Fitness System, or any of my other books – and you simply cannot go wrong, period.

Get this book NOW – you will never regret it.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

I’ve never quite got that comment directed at me, my friend.

“You’ve got a packed chest!”

Movie star looks – and not just the face – the BODY is what I’m most proud of, and the BODY is what (along with the face) the comments were for.

Maybe my one time wife was right when she said “any movie director would hire you!”.

I dont work cheap though, hehe. (Freddie!).

Anyway, that “built like a … ” comment was directed at Statham in the movie mentioned in the last email, while his character was “rubbing up against a wizened old lady’s ass in public (Glyn, watch this space, hehe, he’s been known to actually do that sort of thing with the ladies he scammed later)” – apparently because as his cardiologist friend (whose license was thrown out for some strange reason, but hey – he did transplant the heart back in the end!) said “static electricity between two bodies ” does a good job of keeping the artificial heart “charged”.

Really, the rubbish people think of, and yet, as Statham then proceeds to make out in the middle of the racecourse with another much younger woman, his muscular rump and her panties on full view, with a nutjob in the audience wearing her panties as a hat – I gotta think – what do these movie makers think. Hehe.

Maybe their target audience was Glyn Schofield, he’d love it!

Not the famous horse racing guy, the Bozo from Brum. Hehe.

But anyway – outhouse?

Built like one?

I dont know, to me – Statham is super fit, lean, mean, kicks ASS – sort of has the same look I had in Battletank Shoulders – which I still have – except I’m doing more Lumberjack training these days; more on that later.

Yes, the “look” sometimes changes depending upon how you train and what you focus on, but the basics do NOT i.e. fat free, very little around the midsection if any, a punch proof core, strong legs – diamond shaped calves – all those things do not change , or should not.

To me, “built like a brick outhouse” would be ole Doug Hepburn.

Look at him, my friend.

He’d put any wrestler to shame with that build, and to think he was born with a club foot and not exactly the most privileged of the lot . . .

And his secret?

There is a reason HE is mentioned on the cover of Battletank Shoulders, my friend. Initially I had a picture of an Abrahams tank, which works great too – but him on the cover works even better.

He typifies what Charles Mitchell, a great customer of mine once said about these workouts.

“You have to be part human, part gorilla in order to do these!”

Hehe.

But he’s right, super tough demanding workouts – and the brick outhouse look… well, you’ll GET it if you train that way.

Ole Doug did handstand pushups in sets of 10 all day at the beach while working as a lifeguard.

In ADDITION to his weight training.

Sure, the weights prepared him for the prodigious amount he pushed and pulled.

But read any interview with the great man, and he’ll be the first to tell you that …

HANDSTAND PUSHUPS are what built that pushing strength, not the weights themselves!

At a bodyweight of over 300 lbs, most of it pure muscle, solid MUSCLE, doing handstand pushups on dipping bars, even my “built like a tank” buddy from the Marines blinked in amazement when he heard that.

Thats another reason I keep telling you about dips, if you want to be able to do handstand pushups on dipping bars eventually, you have to train BOTH exercises consistently, daily – and HARD, hard, HARD!

Well, my friend, I’m out for now.

Battletank Shoulders is truly the course that is turning heads everywhere and if you (which most of you DO) cherish the lean and mean yet “built like a tank” look – well, get this NOW.

Back soon!

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – The pre-orders for what is possibly going to be my best and most brutal course as yet Lumberjack “Lodestone” Fitness are still coming in. Place thy pre-order NOW. (if you have not already).

It’s that simple my friend, and it doesn’t take long at all – doesn’t take forever, contrary to what you might think, if you workout the way I show you in 0 Excuses Fitness (see the workout videos) and incorporate the style of pushups I teach you in Pushup Central.

AS I sit here sipping watermelon tea, I gotta tell you this – is not only another example of those brief mini workout “snacks” yours truly writes so much about – but it’s one way to get in super shape – quick.

I often do 25-30 pushups right after waking up.

For me, even though I regularly do them in the range of 300 -they serve a purpose.

They jump start my metabolism – and get rid of soreness from the day before.

I start my day off on the right note – fitness note!

I work the triceps and chest while at it – and the BACK – and the legs too.

I get a great stretch in (imperative upon waking up!)

Perhaps most important for me, and for you – the DEEP breathing, and the mental clarity that goes (comes) with it.

“Deep breathing alone has made many a sick man well, and many a weak man strong”.

Those words were spoken by the great Martin farmer Burns in the Lessons of Wrestling and Physical Culture manual in 1914.

The words are as true today as they were then.

Deep breathing, my friend – I cannot talk about it enough, or recommend it enough. In the 0 Excuses Fitness videos, I even give you a secret tip to recover from being out of breath faster – those that have used it marvel at it’s simplicity – and the ease at which you can do it, and the results they get i.e. back at it shortly.

It cleanses the body, purifies the blood, it is perhaps the reason for my great success at my morning workouts climbing that hill  – all the deep breathing that went with it, and the fat loss!

Deep breathing, my friend, that thump, thump, THUMP you hear within your chest – THAT is the key to burning fat off your frame faster than ever before.

And pushups, no matter what your fitness level might be – do a mighty fine job of getting that deep breathing going, if just for the fact that it works the chest heavily … (and the entire chest cavity where the lungs and heart are located).

Perhaps another reason I felt compelled to write about it is a movie I watched last night – a laughable, hilarious Jason Statham movie “Crank High Voltage” – which is so unbelievable that you might as well just watch it for shits and grins – and Statham, who I have said before makes even the crappiest of crap movies watchable. There is something about that guy!

Stallone didnt choose him as his “to go lieutenant” in the Expendables for nothing!

Movie’s essentially about Statham’s “super heart” which a triad member steals, implanting an electronic valve or something in its place which needs to be charged every hour or so often, or else …and we see that super heart BEATING as they take it out of the cavity.

Perhaps thats what inspired this post – I won’t even get into the movie here, it’s tripe (for me, at least) – but Statham is great as always, and pushups and the deep breathing, my friend, it is something YOU can do anywhere … and the exercise will strengthen not just your muscles, but the heart, cardio and lymph system as well like never before.

For some of you, 100 might be 10 – or even ONE.

Yes, there are tons of folks out for whom doing half a pushup is a massive chore. Trust me on this one!

Just the “getting down”portion ..

And pushup workouts dont need to take long at all.

My 25-50 pushup workouts every day upon arising take like less than 5 minutes – and that is being generous.

You can do em while waiting for your tea to get ready (that is what I do, I put the pot on boil, and let it steam while I do my pushups).

Or, before breakfast or while the cranky ole computer boots up, you boot your own system up …

Or before you (for some of you) wake your significant others up . . .

Trust me, those 5 minutes or so you spend every morning has a massive difference on your whole day, your mindset, how you approach bigger or “main” workouts later – and so forth.

You might think pushups are boring, or “just pushups”, but the truth is, my friend, they are one of the most , if not THE MOST – diverse bodyweight exercises you can do.

In my book Pushup Central, I show you 55 different ways to do ’em that most people have barely ever thought of, let alone do- and these are more than plenty to keep you busy your entire life – trust me on this one.

And even that book is just barely scratching the surface, perhaps I’ll put out a book on advanced pushups next year.

So thats the lesson, friend.

Deep breathing, and pushups – or both.

Start NOW.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – A person once asked me why I keep ending my emails with NOW.

Why?

Because you can, and should do it NOW – procrastination is man’s biggest enemy, or one of them!

Don’t postpone what you should be doing NOW to tomorrow, or “later”, as that never comes.

Pick up the book NOW, and get started NOW.

I’ve been saying it for years, my friend.

People in general have gotten sick and doggone tired of this woke BS being shoved down our throats at every pass – everywhere we go – everything we do, read and so forth.

Social media is woke – apparently using four letter words to rail against the woke movement on Twitter is not on (Twitter asked me if I wanted to “reconsider my post”- my answer? Hell no!) – but the same wokes can criticize, complain, abuse, talk nasty about the police protecting them then bitch about crime when they do all they can to defund and pretty much take away all the cops’ authority and so forth …

PEOPLE in general act woke – it’s so aggravating. Dont even get me started on the Nazi feminists.

Ah, but wait. LOL.

I HAVE gotten started on that, and my flagship product in that regard is HERE (a must grab).

More in that vein shortly, as for now, if you’re interested in my views on this woke BS and liberals (tards), Nazi feminists, faggots, SJW’s and Glyn Bozos in general, just do a search on this site or elsewhere, and you’ll find my views very plainly explained and expressed – or was the other way around?

I saw something about “the dangerous rise of men who refuse to date anti woke women” -something I wouldn’t do in my wildest dreams and never have for ages.

Some guy “Laurence Fox” is being pilloried by the social media buffoons claiming hes got white privilege and other nonsense – I mean, jeez, my views on that?

It’s the wokes and liberal living in the Jim Crow era, so it feels like.

There hasn’t been any white privilege for YEARS NOW, anyone who claims otherwise is living in fantasy land, if anything, it’s all way too skewed towards “minorities”.

And I hate that term, despite probably (despite being a redneck hombre from Texas, hehe) – falling in that very bracket.

It’s not about skin color, it’s not about excuses.

It’s about you, what you choose to do with your life, and what you ACHIEVE without complaining about B.S. that you sometimes can help, sometimes cannot period. Just ask the scores of wealthy “minorities”, and you’ll get their word for it too.

Now, sometimes anti woke is taken to extremes, yes.

And I’m not in favor of that either.

Ditto for the Nazi feminism thing, a “member of Parliament” in India (in a Southern State) was recently making comments along the lines “if rape has to happen, might as well enjoy it!” in public – in full view of assembly.

Naturally, he took those words back.

But I suspect he meant something entirely different, and couldn’t say it, though HOW he said what he did, not on in my book.

He did apologize though.

Reminds me of what Marc the African silverback Gorilla once asked me about the China Nazi feminist “teases” that of course yours truly has more than plenty of experience with!

“These girls, do they dress this way in the villages too?”

I told him yes, China was pretty open about that sort of thing.

“Nah, I thought just the cities. If theyd pull that shit in the villages, they’d be getting raped left right and center!”

(he was referring to the no goose and gander “teases” who do all they can to provoke men then when they dont get the right amount of money or some nonsense, then they scream bloody murder.

Admittedly I’ve had the opposite problem of having to bat women away willy nilly, but hey …!)

Then there was the recent hoo haa about what the CBSE did in India …

All these things are happening though because men in general – the ones amongst us that are DOERS – are getting sick and tired of being marginalized and shunted aside for no fault of ours.

We worked for years and years, what do we get in return – unending crap from brats, Bozos, and entitled lunatics that have themselves never done a day of honest work in their own lives!

Its all been coming to a head for years though, and covid, of course the perfect excuse for all thats simmering underneath to come to the surface.

It aint gonna be pretty, the next few years, but it has to be done, and Im glad it’s happening for one – not the covid crap, but the rest of the stuff – the world needs a cleansing, it’s long overdue.

And it’s going to be survival of the fittest, as I’ve been saying for YEARS now.

Speaking of which, what about that idiot Biden – if he hands out dishonorable discharges to members of the military that refuse to follow his (in my view unlawful) vaccine mandates?

I wouldn’t it past Sleepy Joe to pull that sort of stunt. . .

It’s just shameful, you deem people ready to die for the country, yet you dont let them choose what to put in their own bodies.

Just shameful, no two ways around it.

Anyway – where am I going with these random musings?

I dont know, just a brain dump this email.

But yes, my products are by far not just politically incorrect, hard hitting and results producing, but they’re also some of the most anti woke, anti liberal, and anti Nazi fem you’ll see.

And if there is one more reason you should support us, as I’ve been saying all day, and lets face it, I’ve made it very easy for you to do it .. this is it.

Back soon!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – But seriously, friend – we need YOUR support – and we need it now. If you want to keep enjoying these no nonsense posts, keep getting hard hitting fitness and life info that truly cuts past the BS, then YOUR support is needed, friend.

And there’s no better way to support us than picking up a product or two – getting nigh great results, and then reviewing!

Thank you!

Do you guys on my list remember the “short workouts throughout the day” I keep promoting, and have been for years?

That doesn’t mean yours truly doesn’t prefer to do what a lot of his customers do, i.e. get one LONG – hard as heck – and GOOD – workout in, and then be done for the day.

For years, I’ve done just that!

And then I did “short workouts throughout the day too” before promoting it to you.

I did one big workout in the afternoons, then one small one at night.

And so forth.

Remember, all my techniques, exercises etc are guaranteed to bring YOU results if you do the thing, and therefore, GRAB the power.

Because .. for one, they’ve been put through the wringer. Everything I bring you is FROM the trenches, my friend.

Anyway, John Walker, a great customer of mine noted the following a couple of months later.

“I saw an article in … ” “saying exactly the same thing as you are- workout snacks, I believe they’re called”.

Hehe.

Once again, this CAT leaps ahead of the PACK.

And have been for years!

Now this morning, I’ve been getting hit by some silly dumbphone campaign with a kid and his Dad, they never talk anymore due to the dumbphone, kid thinks he’s become boring, starts bawling, Daddy does the obligatory “oh noooooooooo! It’s probably ME thats boring!” – and switches off the dumbphone to “connect with his loved one”.

Thats the campaign, anyway, by VIvo “switch off to connect with your loved ones”.

OF course, the ad is “guranteed to tug at your heart strings”.

For me, I don’t necessarily disagree with the premise of the ad, the message, but the way it’s delivered is sissy speak – period.

I dont know, sissies like Glyn will just love it.

Point being this though, my rants and dislike for the dumbphone, folks BEING on it while talking to me, the constant bloody notifications disturbing others – the annoying crap channels, videos etc with “laughter in the background” “Hahahhahahahahaha” (ugh) … and most of all, you’re talking to someone, that person cannot look away from the dumbphone for a minute, even when you ask them (pointedly) “if you’re busy, I’ll return later!” .

People in general have become so RUDE – and DUMB.

Period.

And they dont get it, do they.

Seems the dumbphone companies are finally starting to pick up what Rahul Mookerjee picked up years ago my friend.

I dont just STAY ahead of the pack. I LEAP ahead of it by years, leaps, and bounds. Kinda of like a tiger does – ever seen that tiger LEAP ?

Anyway …

I’ve been thinking tigers, and wild cats all day long yesterday.

Part of the reason – not all, but a big part for my “seer like insight” (as some have said) – the predictions into the future via dreams or otherwise that ALWAYS come true -my life tips – my success at what I do – all of it comes via my TRAINING techniques, many of which are modeled on the big cat – and other animals.

Trust me, these workouts do so much more than work the muscles. When you combine them with deep breathing, they work the BODY as a whole, they work the tendons – they strengthen the ligaments, they make the BONES denser and stronger – and so much more – but most of all?

They strengthen the MIND.

There is a reason, for one, the ancient Egyptian, and till date, many in India venerate and worship the tiger as holy, and “it can see into the third dimension”.

Watch a tiger stare into space, you’ll feel it.

You won’t just see it, you’ll FEEL it.

Especially if you see it in the wild.

Same thing for grizzly bears to an extent.

And these two animals are awesome animals to model YOUR workout on my friend.

Get started on Animal Kingdom Workouts NOW – and watch all the good that starts flowing into your life almost instantly!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – We even have an OFFER going on on this, and Battletank Shoulders!

Both equally brutal courses, the brutal with or in the sublime, as it were.

And if you’re talking just physical?

Not to mention monkeys -and gorillas – the tiger can leap as high as 20 feet into the air and do amazing things – all in split seconds – and the gorilla has strength enough to put his entire bodyweight on ONE knuckle, and climb out of 15ft enclosures…

Now thats animal kingdom STRENGTH, my friend – the sort of strength YOU should have.

Get the course NOW.

There is a reason I said it the way I did, my friend.

“Hamstrung”.

If you injure your thighs, for instance, lifting heavy objects – or, as an Editor of mine once did “tear a quad” (he was in the Jim no doubt) – it’s painful as heck. Everyone knows that.

But in general, you can still walk, stumble about etc.

If you however have a issue with the hamstrings – the calf etc – mark my words, not only is it painful, but it’s nigh hard to MOVE about, let alone walk.

Many years ago, I made the mistake of doing hill sprints when I wasn’t quite ready for them (thats something I keep emphasizing in Advanced Hill Training, by the way, and there is a reason) …

I drove to the park, and did em.

All going great guns, till in the middle of the workout (which had pull-ups too – same me you see on the cover of “Pull-ups – from DUD to STUD” within weeks!) …. I heard something “pop”.

Except, it was not the pop and crackle you hear from stretching .

“Twing”. 

Thats how it felt – and sounded.

Almost instantly, I could barely WALK.

I could barely hobble back to the car and drive back – God forbid I walked to the park, I dont know how I’d get back home!

When I got home, the “wife” opened the door (this was sometime in 2011, I believe, and I wrote about it on the other site too).

“You’ve hurt yourself – again!”

That I had, my friend.

That I had!

It hurt like a mofo, but nowhere near as bad as some of the other injuries I’ve described on here, most notably the thumb popping in and out on that cold night in China that I described in 2018.

Neither one of those experiences makes it to “16 Inspirational Fitness Recollections“, maybe if I put out a book on painful recollections/injuries, and honestly, I could fill a book with those too, it would!

Though it wasn’t that high on the pain factor, much like the swollen foot I once picked up which – I had a golf ball sized lump on my foot, if you TOUCHED it, just touched it, I’d SCREAM with agony, it was that painful!

I still remember the idiot doc who was more concerned about my socks than actually treating it, and he drove me away with “lose weight”.

It was more complex than that, water retention and such, of course, he didnt like the look of me from the get go. Some people dont!

(When I didnt really respond back to his “tart” response, the wife was upset at home.

“Why don’t you reply!”

Now, when I do and then some – she still doesn’t like it.

“You don’t know when not to talk!”

Can’t please ’em ever can we, hehe).

But anyway ……

I could barely walk being the keyword.

Thats why they call it being “hamstrung”.

And not just injuries.

I’ve written before – the other day – about how lack of flexibility in the hamstrings, back – upper back especially, and lower too for many of you – caused by sitting for years, long periods of time – especially the Throne also, hehe – (seriously, I’m not joking – that position is unnatural for your body) – can inhibit performance in all other areas, and not just rep counts if you get my drift.

There’s a reason the Chinese say “open the hamstrings” – and you literally “open your life up”.

Theres a reason you’ll see Chinese of all ages stretching the hamstrings and the BACK of the body big time – parks, gyms, everywhere.

Because along with the calves and back and shoulders, most excess tension is stored in this area my friend.

Not good – especially if you want to open your life up to receive MORE of what you want.

Not good – even if all you’re interested in is fitness – and higher rep counts, better performance etc.

Not good – even if all you’re interested in is feeling GREAT all day long.

& thus forth . . .

My great book “Isometric and Flexibility Training” – you guys must have noticed it’s HUGE on training and stretching the BACK of the body.

“You gotta back it up”.

“If you can’t back it up, there’s no point”.

There is a reason those sayings are used.

Most people ignore the back of the body when training – and even if they hit the back, they ignore the lower part of the body – the butt – literally the “seat of your power” (no Glyn Bozo jokes please) – the calves – literally what allow you to SPRINT off the blocks – the initial boost – and the hamstrings, that tie it all together.

If I had to choose just two areas for you to stretch and loosen right now, it would be traps and hamstrings, my friend.

Believe me, the sheer rush you’ll get from stretching the whole body out, especially the lower body “floating on cloud nine” doesn’t start to compare.

And if there is one reason you should get Isometric and Flexibility Training, it is that.

Also in Spanish – which I hear ( based on a few winks and nudges from me) – my daughter has taken up as a second language in school.

Hehe.

She’s the best!

Everyone wanted her to take French, yall know well my opinion on “France” and the whining, losing etc … Hehe.

Well, the French are a bunch of self righteous cunts.

The only thing the French are known for is …

Surrender, Retreat, Collabarate with the enemy, Cheese, Wine, Bad Manners, and Bad Hygiene!

That was back when we were discussing the Aussies gettng their subs from the US and UK as opposed To France, who they had originally signed the deal with.

Of course, the French in typical Tom Tom “Glyn” manner, they never gave them a date on anything, kept postponing it all and so forth.

I didnt quite tell my daughter all that, but I was very vocal about French not being a very useful language at all – Spanish  and German are far more useful, Spanish because it’s the second most widely spoken language, German because … well, Germany!

I did tell her about Freedom Fries tho, hehe.

Anyway …

Isometric and Flexibility Training is out in Spanish as well – and YOU guys can and should get the English version NOW – here.

Back soon!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Remember, paperbacks and hardcovers on offer too, if the erotica stuff is going great guns, hehe, no reason why the fitness books shouldn’t either, all very open that one!

PS #2 – Did I just piss my French readership off no end? Hehe.

I bet so.

I’m sorry (not really).

It’s true though, every bit of what he said, I could add tomes to it from the World Wars … who saved their asses and so forth …

but we’ll let it be for now!

Glyn would love France though, if I’m not mistaken, he codgered money out of some fat ole lady to travel there. Nothing if not a typical TOm tom paradise that…
