Well, my friend, as I was doing something I have not done in ages – I rarely do -watching live SPORTS – an India – NZ cricket match in Auckland (the series itself irrelevant with all the cricket being played these days and the different versions) – – I felt GOOD.

As I am sure y’all are – happy thanksgiving, on that note!

Eat plenty of turkey – drink up – be merry – just be sure to WORK it all off later.

I cannot remember the last time I switched on a TV, or was even near one on – it’s been …I think 2013 was the last time.

Thats not to say I dont watch movies occasionally – I certainly do – I was watching a Telegu flick “Liger” yesterday, a complete disappointment, and a joke in terms of marital arts, I was only watching it because it had Iron Mike’s name in it, but since he did not show at all even at the halfway point, I had to abandon it, like a couple of other recent movies I’ve watched.

Where are the GOOD ONES? Samaritan wasn’t that bad, but not that great either despite me being a huge Sly fan …

Anyway – I love watching cricket.

But most of the time for the past few years, these days I do it at night if I’m drinking beer, or … when I’m not working – in the morning I prefer to have my writing time, my thinking time, visualization and so forth. Those first two hours of the day are always mine no matter what, I made an exception, but then I started thinking business as always.

Anyway – during the telecast on Prime (to the idiots saying “Netflix, Netflix”, – nah, I’d rather Amazon anyday) … I saw something interesting, an Indian player (I dont know who, I haven’t watched ODI cricket in so long … )appeared to be recovering from hamstring injury.

Someone was holding a band tied to his ankles which he pulled back and forth with his legs, and judging by his expression at the end of it, it worked him quite well.

I didnt see the commentary (written) or hear it, but it brought back memories.

A long long time ago in China, circa 2003, I was (along with a cranky HR manager and a very nice real estate agent) “shopping” to set up my apartment in China.

Remember, the company was a bit cheap, so they were doing their best to put me in an apartment quickly, and truth be told, I didnt negotiate half as much as I do today, but I got lucky, I was put in an apartment owned by a guy from Hong Kong and his wife, and it was new, appliances spic and clean and so forth – and NO ROACHES!! That was the best part . . . (and what I negotiate all the time NOW).

Anyway, we were shopping – HR lady bailed.

I picked up something after the beer aisle (Chinese Walmarts have a fantastic selection of beer, for whatever reason, especially German, Russian and many other imported beers which in the US you dont see that often) …

… a rubber sort of “thingy” is all I can say.

Quite thick to grip but you could bend it.

And it was meant to be bent behind one’s back – in front of one’s chest – one of those tools I cannot “name” – that are meant to strengthen your muscles and tendons both.

Easy Peasy, I thought – remember, those were my “big” days.

I tried it.

I could barely BUDGE it behind my back.

IN front of me, I could do the exercise, above my shoulders, yes, but it wasn’t that easy.

But behind the back, making an inverted U with it – man that was tough!

Skinny real estate agent next to me who kept telling me I was “strong” … he picked it up, at one shot he bent it five times, grinned, tossed it in the cart.

I remember him patting my shoulders as I was gasping for breath carrying cases of beer up to my apartment. Always well prepared and stocked am I (I even remember my father writing me an email about “we hope you aren’t drinking it up there!”) .. Hehe.

So thats a lesson in itself, size doesnt mean anything either way.

Remember the skinny dude who carried up massive split A/C units to my fifth floor apartment, his heart almost pounding out of his chest – I could literally see it?

The middle aged Chinese ladies that would routinely carry up large bottles of water to my apartments in China, and act like it was nothing …

Thats not to say strength doesnt matter – it does.

The point is strength backed up by conditioning is what really counts.

And the point also is, how you look isn’t necessarily the best indicator – in many ways of your health and fitness.

Sure, if you’ve got a massive belly and man tits and an expanding arse – well, then you probably ain’t fit.

And if you’re so weak (my wife loves calling me that, hehe) that you can barely do ONE pushup without collapsing – then youre probably not very strong – at least not in that regard.

But if you (so the idiots say) look like a 13 year old and get taunted for it all the time by your wife and people (rightly) say “thats not a bad thing fitness wise” – and can hammer out 250 pushups per workout for one, or similar things …if you’re not FAT, if you’ve not got a big gut that spilleth over.. well, then you’re probably fit, strong and well conditioned …

(it isnt just bodyweight stuff here, lets say if you’re skinny and collapse after running up a flight of stairs, or a boobybuilder with massive bulging pecs that does, same thing)

It ain’t about the size of the dog, its about the size of the FIGHT in the dog.

Its about having less FAT – not being less “big” – there is a difference.

Same thing if you reverse the tables.

Anyway.

Enjoy your thanksgiving my friend.

I wish I could find that tool now, I’d probably promote it more just for the heck of it. A china only thing though I believe that is, but I’m sure I will find it.

And, if you haven’t yet jumped aboard the 0 Excuses Fitness System “train” do so NOW. Best way to ensure the lard doesnt pile on after the sumptous meals or what not…

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Ever notice how headphone batteries dont last – at ALL these days? Hehe.

I’ll never forget what Glyn Schofield once replied with when I asked him about his weird fantasies and fetishes – which I told him, Glyn, thats OK – most people whether they admit it or not lead double lives to an extent – of course, the way he denied it spoke volumes.

I cannot remember the Bozo ever, till this date saying “no, I’m NOT INTO THAT!” so vehemently.

At that point I knew I was onto something – hehe.

It isn’t just the Bozo either.

Lets take Benny Boy – an example of a more rational troll in some regards whose been trolling on here since he threw a hissy fit (shortly after that) about his inability to sell a dime’s worth of products – and someone that falls into the Glyn category of keeping on returning even after being roundly blocked everywhere – including our great Youtube channel apparently, I blocked him there, but presto, like a bad (and fat) apple, he shows up, hehe.

One reason, of course, is these guys can’t get enough of me – and the “attention” they get from being trolls in general is pretty much the only attention they get in their sorry lives from anyone (if you look at their finances, their lifestyle, their general tendency to mooch off or live on controlling women – well, there is a common thread).

But the second reason, deep down inside, these trolls know fully well they’re weak – and their many weaknesses.

Benny Boy for instance despite his numerous rants about not being able to sell was sort of OK here (though he was still being an unwanted ghost even then) .

What really got the poor chap’s goat was not me indirectly pointing out his inability to tell, but a video I did about cheapskates in general – – and about people calling him fat (which I hate to say, but it’s a fact).

And that started his incessant trolling, till date you’ll notice in all his trolling, despite saying everything under the sun possible positive about me when I first hired him (no wonder, hehe) (to the point I had to almost tell him to stop being so “nice” though I could smell the fake even then) – did an about Turn after these two things.

It hurt.

Because it’s true and because Benny can’t – or doesnt believe he can – and hasn’t, which counts – do a damn thing about either one of those two things. Hehe.

This sort of “rational troll” is the sort of people that will be obsessive like Bozo Schofield – and ignore everything good you do – to find some perceived one tiny flaw in the other person (emphasis on “perceived”) and then Tom Tom it until the cows come home to pseudo-validate their own piss poor levels of health and fitness (i.e. if someone is doing something, they wont let that person be – like the idiot who once asked me to “work my brain” instead of working my pull-ups which I was, like dude, quite frankly, none of your business, not that this sort understands the meaning of the word business anyway).

They’ll also obsessively try and copy everything you do to ape what you do, copy you to a T, emulate your success without realizing you cannot copy Mozart … well, you could, but you might not have the same results. In fact, I can definitively tell you you wont.

You know whats the best way to prove to this sort (not that you need to – like a customer once told me, like I myself keep doing – I’d rather just block ’em and forget about ’em) they’re trolls?

Tell them to stop haunting you.

They wont.

Easy as clockwork eh.

But they wont do it.

When you block them so you dont even see them or hear from them, or know what they’re up to, they’ll find ways to make sure you do. Hehe.

This doesn’t go for just Benny alone, of course, I had done forgotten about him again until he got on the train of “ruining this business” (good lucky Benny!) – it goes trolls of this sort in general – and Nazi feminists as well.

At the end of the day, these Nazi feminists are cowards, in a direct confrontation theyre found wanting – and I dont mean physically.

I mean logically.

And since they can’t beat logic, they fall back on the ole “I’m a woman so I’m right” nonsense.

No you’re not honey, and a certain “wife” knows that very well too deep down inside.

Anyway ………..

Profiting from this sort (and other cuckolded keyboard warriors in general) is easier than pie if you know how to stir the pot a bit and if you know how to get this sort to obsess over you like a starving man for freshly baked bread …

And my two key courses, Volume one of both in these regards –

How to not only COMBAT and WIN AGAINST – but PROFIT (big time) from the Nazi Feminist DISEASE plaguing modern day society.

Profit Troll. 

You’ll want to get your hands on the first now, the second is on pre-order, get it at the price you can before it goes up, my friend.

Ah, I just realized I answered the “why” question not posed in the title of this here email, but didnt answer the “how”.

Patience, grasshopper – it will be in the book, but it’s common sense to me, really …

And thats that.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – My recommendation in terms of supplements etc being sold by dodgy sorts like this – buy at your OWN risk. ’nuff said. I had to put this out there, sometimes even I do some “public service”…

I was thinking about a lot of things last night, and couldn’t help chuckling.

You know you’re onto something good – awesome – not just when you get shining reviews of your books in all businesses from doers -thats great, but a far greater measure of success, or getting there?

A successful man – or his level of success, or the “ascendancy of his star” – is measured by the number of enemies he has – the number of people that absolutely hate his guts.

This might not be a popular thing to say ,but its nigh true.

And when you get to the point (and I’m not even STARTED as yet, as I I keep saying) when hordes of people have to be either blocked or booted from the list, site etc – when I’m selective about accepting customers in an economy most are “desperate” for them – when people I block (Bozo being one) find all sorts of creative ways to come back and “see what he’s up to anyway” so they can troll …

… well, it’s a true indicator of “where you’re headed”. hehe.

Anyway …

Squat 101 was released like a week ago I believe?

And our great translator Marco is already hard at work translating it into Spanish – NOT per my request either – he emailed me and asked me about it!

And I was more than glad to accept.

THAT is what I like to say, eager to get the job DONE – other than whine and moan about price, wacking off about stuff that doesnt really matter, or nutjob arm chair theorists that look like the only training they’d done is walking from the dining table to the potty yet feel compelled to share their non existent wisdom and write long boring “watching paint dry” rants about form or what not…

Anyway.

Before we start this one.

Please DO read this here … https://0excusesfitness.com/2020/04/28/to-be-fair-your-yoga-looks-a-little-faggoty/ …

And this .

What a former gymnast and cheerleader had to say about the “faggotty” position that I wrote about

Please DO read both those links, as I’m not going to type a lot in this one – it’s already been said.

Except, one thing – in the second email up there I never put the picture I was referring to back then – I found it today, I believe, I’m not sure if this is the right one?

But here it is –

It was that one, and this one – or maybe me holding the “Table” position which he was referring to – the cheerleader was certainly referring to the “table position” …

Anyway …

I cannot find the picture of me holding the table pushup.

And the reason I bring it up is again – that particular exercise – in fact, even the one above (reverse pushup) are along with the pull-up – two PRIME examples of how much fat you have around the midsection, my friend.

We have covered the pull-up so often here, if you’re not getting that chin over the bar comfortably, holding , it’s not a pull-up, and fat boys – or girls – wont be able to do it despite their gorilla snarls in the gym (handstand pushups neither).

But those are advanced exercises, they’ll whine… And make every excuse in the book about not being able to do ’em …

So how about these two simple exercises I just mentioned. Hehe.

Pushup Central, my friend, contains these – and FAR more styles of pushups than you could ever have bargained for – period.

And if you truly want to lose fat and get in shape, then that is one of the first courses that you need to invest in – NOW.

And to end this, another great video from our channel …

Link-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RSGVZzU8Pw  (I had to put it in that way since some of you cannot view the video in the emails, so just copy and paste the link itself).

This one for some reason hasn’t really been seen a lot , probably because the exercise is a tough one, which is fine, but it’s one of the very few areas on Youtube I have not been trolled – or complimented – never a middle ground hehe with me – as yet.

I’m aiming at changing that. Therefore, there it is!

Enjoy!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Another great measure of how far you’ve come is when people find every excuse to surreptitiously copy what you’re doing … like clockwork, hehe.

It’s beyond hilarious, I write something, fat boys globally (I’ll share more here “by and by”, Benny Boy is just the latest in a long series write rants about what I wrote) – I video myself doing advanced workouts, these same ass clowns show just cringeworthy videos of them attempting to do the same. Some of them, you can almost hear the seat of the pants tear (PG Wodehouse fans will appreciate this one. Hehe).

“Look, Mommy, the big man did it, so can I!”

I mean, its downright hilarious. Hehe.

And no you can’t you idiot, I can hear the joints creaking there – or should I say “see”. lol.

(this guy was the guy who used to work for us as an affiliate, threw a hissy fit a month later about prices after he realized this was an elite site where his “throw it against the wall and see what sticks” methods weren’t working – not that they do anyway, he’s barely able to sell even $8 ebooks and some of the crappy, downright dangerous herbs he promotes like snake oil (dont ask me, ask anyone in the know) and then whined about “I quit!”

Well, its good he quit on his own, in another month or so I’d have FIRED his arse anyway. We dont take kindly to quitters and losers around here).

Anyway, all of them make for (including the price wanking trolls) GREAT material for the very educative (both life and business wise) upcoming book Profit Troll.

While Buttler Glyn is undoubtely the star there, plenty of others nutjobs will be featured with proof. Hehe.

I’ve truly inspired a legion of both those that cannot get enough of me – oh wait, they all can’t apparently, hehe – of the haters and the lovers. And for that I gotta thank both, as the former tries to make a $8 sale, hehe, I’m laughing all the way to the bank.????

All of this, of course could be a prime reason why the vast majority of people in the world are nothing but sheep, will never succeed at anything other than keyboard wanks or the equivalent. The DOERS, well, you know who you are. Haha.

Anyway … if no other, the above is a GREAT reason to get your pre-order in for Profit Troll NOW, my friend.  (while the price is what it is, because it’s going to cost >$150 once I’m done).

Apply it to your life, watch your life improve by leaps and bounds, apply to your business, watch the moola roll in – regardless of economy.

Along with Zero to Hero, Gumption Galore and of course 10 Commandments of Successful Sales, simply must have books for any REAL (note – this isn’t applicable if trolling is your biz, hehe – but it’s even applicable there, come to think of it!) entrepreneur or business person …

I wont mention him by name here.

And there are tons like him, a certain Bozo Schofield being one of them ….

Anyway, the braindead one showed up again – as expected. These guys are literally obsessed with me, it’s so easy to get them to do what I want!

And he’s doing precisely what I want, trolling me all over the internet like the Bozo did (granted his trolling is far more rational than Glyn’s, but a troll is a troll nonetheless).

Anyway …

This is aimed at no-one in particular, but if youre ranting about form when …

You can barely do a single Hindu squat in proper form without making excuses about your legs, when you’re so fat you can’t even do a single pull-up – let alone get the chin over the bar and over compensate or try to with hammer grip, when holding a handstand is a current impossibility for you, when those chins jiggle as you walk, when people call you out for having a case, a serious case of gyno … Hehe.

And I’m just getting started.

Man, this dude put out some videos that are just insanely jokerish, let alone form etc.

I haven’t subscribed to his channel, I never will either, but this clown was blocked from mine, he did his best to show up again – like I knew he would.

And he’s hell bent on destroying this biz too.

Hehe.

For a wannabe “flying by the seat of his fat “extra large” pants” so called affiliate (this triple chinned blubber laced monster-wacko I’m referring to)  who couldn’t sell a $8 book if he tried, lives on his wife, looks like (customer words, NOT MINE) “Braindead ****** looks like he’d need to fast for a year to lose all that blubber” .. well, he’s not quite right up there with Glyn in terms of being obsessed with me.

But he’s getting there, right down to his angry rants of “get over yourself!”

Hey, I did.

Hehe.

Anyway – our Youtube Channel which he’s spreading everywhere is HERE. I never really did many videos, but I’m really getting going full steam – wait for some great, great stuff coming out – especially on my FAVORITE exercise, the mighty pushup.

And yes, you’ll see me teach a few fat fools a thing or two about form, hehe (if they can get beyond rep #5 on anything, which most cannot).

Hehe

And in the meantime?

If you ain’t gotten (customer words, not mine) – the BEST DAMN BODYWEIGHT FITNESS BOOK ever, nothing else comes close … the best System ever?

Get it now. There is NO better system out there to get you in shape – lean – mean – FAST!

At the end of my results speaketh, as opposed to fat boys who couldn’t wag their tongue without their chin bobbing up and down and need Mommy’s (or wifey’s) assistance to do literally “cringeworthy” intro “read from script” videos… Hehe.

Results, my friend, results.

And thats proof enough eh.

Back soon.

BEst

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – I almost feel sorry for this guy, its one thing to be braindead. Its one thing for a nutwad to be booted from everyone’s circle he tries to weasel himself into – I know he’s tried to partner with many a bodyweight guy, but he’s been booted because quite simply, triple chins my friend dont equate to “passionate about fitness”, it equates to being lazy, usually liberal, and … “ostrich with head in ground and fat ass protruding”.

Its quite another though to call Herschel Walker out on form for one, claiming Walker does “half ass reps” and crappy form. Lunacy central, of course, what else could you expect from braindead Bozo liberals.

*thanks to T for noticing it, I had completely, as always, forgotten about this nutjob, then of course as predicted he shows up again*

Anyway, yours truly is called the Bodyweight Exercise Guru for a reason.

Follow along, you’ll soon know why. Hehe.

And if you want to apply from coaching from yours truly, where I coach, train, take you by the hand – and SCRUFF hehe – and WHIP your ass into shape like NO-ONE else out there, I repeat, NO-ONE comes close – even can come close to “can” – then apply for personal coaching from the very best HERE.

And thats that!

This afternoon, I was out there waiting to pick up my daughter.

Despite the stares from passerby’s, I got some squats done – advanced style.

I also got some stretching done – and most importantly, some ab work which lasted less than a minute, was a few reps only, and left my heart – HAMMERING like nothing else I’ve ever done!

Well, not nothing else. Hehe. But I haven’t done this exercise in a while!

It’s one I learnt from the great Farmer Burns Book “Lessons in Wrestling and Physical Culture” – and its the first one in a series of ab exercises, basically you activate the abs by clenching them as hard as you can – except you take a deep breath, and dont release the breath until you’re done clenching.

Yes, the Farmer specifically recommends HOLDING the breath while clenching, another opposite to what most gurus claim about it being bad for blood pressure or what not – hell, with the Farmer’s 20 inch neck, I’d be more inclined to do what he says as opposed to so called Gurus.

Anyway – I dont always hold the breath while doing this, and this exercise is not mentioned in Corrugated Core either – another excellent one “the stomach vacum” is.

I’ll get into that more later, but for now, one prime reason amongst many most trainees dont make gains either with these exercises or others – is the mind muscle connection.

This is another reason I’m anal on form, if you aren’t, its impossible to activate the right muscles being worked my friend.

When you do a pushup, for instance, bring your MIND into it – keep the head looking ahead, and the arms straight, maintain tension on the shoulders, triceps and upper back – and clench the thighs as tightly as you can while doing them (which is hard for super high rep workouts, but thats the ideal you should shoot for).

Clench the butt, keep the core tight and so forth, with the ab exercise above, I did this in the shower as well last night as well as (without preening naked) in front of the mirror after an icy cold shower.

I could literally see my abs popping through with each rep which made it easier to focus on the muscles being trained, which is CORE – not just abs – and internal abs.

Same thing with squats today.

I did 100 in 2 minutes.

I could … man, my heard was hammering like truly nothing else when done.

Given I normally do them in 2.5 minutes to 3, that was a solid workout!

I doubt I’ll get those results daily.

But stranger things have happened, and it happened only with the right mind muscle connection, and not dwadling regardless of what.

“Finish or you’ll be shot” is a nice way of thinking about it. Hehe.

Or, take the less extreme route and follow my meditation techniques which I will lay out in a seperate book to build mind power first, which the mind is the most important muscle – the sooner you get that, the better it is for you and your overall gains pal.

Most people dont ..

Anyway – thats the tip.

When you workout, really get the MIND into the MUSCLE you’re training – actively, you’ll find you do a lot better, and GAIN a lot more.

As an aside, my wife was telling the daughter not to kick her shoes into place today.

“The shoes are what most people notice first!”

I wouldn’t say that. Hehe.

But if you, as was said in a Hindi movie “Hum” – a hilarious one in some regards, but a classic – want to truly a “judge a man’s standard”, then one of the yardsticks, you look at his shoes.

Or, how clean his bathroom is …

And so forth.

Not a gold standard by any means, my shoelace tore today, and rather than buy a new pair I just looped it around another hole.

Maybe that isn’t kosher?

I dont know, but unlike in the movie where a fake Major General shows up with holes in his shoes … I wouldn’t quite go that far. Hehe.

I still remember the General, the one and only Michael telling me the following while making pots of money . . .

“I’ll be the one dressed like a bum on the roads!”

Hehe.

Some rules, well, they’re meant to be broken – sometimes.

The mind muscle rule is meant to be NEVER BROKEN!

Emblazon that into your mind as you go about your day friend, it truly is that important.

Rahul Mookerjee

To me, this applies – curiously enough, to the bodyweight exercise Guru whose favorite bodyweight exercise and like the Marines, one he prides himself on the most – pull-ups.

Before you start wondering whats up, well, hear me out first pal.

First, I’m human like you, once you start getting beyond rep #150 on a pull-up workout – not only YOU – but I start to feel it too.

Two, and more importantly, and this is a key difference between when I wrote Battletank Shoulders for one, I dont – well, not at the moment at least have “easy” access to the monkey bars I used when I wrote that book.

In that book, you’ll see how I mixed in pull-ups with monkey bar work – a tried and tested technique to build the upper body of a strong sinewy APE – and then work in pushups, specifically those done on thy fingertips to build a corrugated “rock solid, kung fu like unnatural pull to you it x 10” grip.

If you’ve DONE the workouts, you will know what I mean or what Charles, a customer here once told me “I dont see how anyone can do those workouts unless they’re part Gorilla!”

And hence, Vol #3 in the series – to turn you into 70% Gorilla – “Profound 70% Gorilla 30% Human Handstands” – another very well, profoundly received book in fact, and the bridge to the next one i.e. freestanding handstands, whenever that comes out.

No pun either.

Anyway

This is about a different topic, I suppose I could also make it over how I almost fell over in a free standing handstand today … but lets stick to pull-ups, the former is even more difficult for most people to do right or at all.

Look, another reason my pull-up workouts are this tough these days is I focus on ONE style of pull-ups – today that was the regular grip pull-up, thick gripz, 50 reps, and believe me, if you apply super focus on form, do ’em slow and steady – oh yes, you will FEEL it (I did 100 pushups too in a similar vein, mostly TOUGHIES. The only somewhat “easy” work I did was 250 squats and the splits..) (and some club work – light).

So thats a solid workout unto itself, but anyway, when you’re too tired, or feel fatigued to rep out another one?

I’ve told you for one it’s all about the mental, but we wont get into that here.

Physically, what you can do is this – either stop the workout at a somewhat lower number than you normally would (if thats 25, maybe you stop at 16, or 18 – trust me, you’ll know when the number comes).

Or, and even better, you slow down the tempo of the workout.

And you focus – both mentally and physically on FORM.

This may mean your reps take longer to complete which is fine if you’re too fatigued to go fast (you’ll lose form if you do, if you even can).

But thats fine!

You’ll literally work the muscles to the BONE this way if you do what I’m saying above. and you will grow – like a damn weed as well if you do it right.

Some of the pull-ups I’m doing in terms of the regular pull-up, well, they’re so tough I can only do 3-5 reps in proper form per set.

And as I finished rep #50, I feel GONE.

And exhilarated.

I think I’ll knock out 20 more slow and steady pushups and be done for the day, or will I?

We’ll see.

Hehe.

For now, thats that.

And I’ll be back soon.

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – To learn how to do pull-ups effectively at a high level, bang ’em out butter smooth “easy peasy lemon squeezy”, get the world famous course on it, truly the JEWEL in the crown it’s been called right HERE.

If I were to talk about hamstrings, and pushups, the first pushup that would come to your mind is .. what?

Obviously, well, the Hindu pushup – perhaps even the “table” pushup and reverse pushup … and there’s nothing wrong with that.

All of those are great exercises covered in Pushup Central. 

But one style of pushup, my friend, which is not that popular out there – is one of the best styles you can do for yourself – one of the very very toughest – – and, a great way to both work the hamstrings, and work up to freestanding handstand pushups.

I’ve covered this exercise before, it’s the pike pushup.

Much ignored, big mistake.

And you shouldn’t just do this one to work up to handstand pushups.

These are different – these tax the core and abs differently from handstand pushup which do the same, but they really blast the shoulders more – as opposed to pike which does that too but you’ll really feel the lower abs working HARD if you do it right.

Now – this is done by forming a triangle with your body and then going on from there – I believe our youtube channel has more on this.

But one of the things you guys with tight hamstrings (and a lot, not just me have ’em) will notice is this – your hamstrings will limit how far you can dip down – either in the easy version of the pike pushup, which involves bringing the head down between the hands, or the tough version (that involves head going beyond hands).

Shoulders too, yes, but if you’ve got strong shoulders, yet not able to push all the way down – your tight hamstrings may well be a limiting factor my friend.

And you’ll feel it when you keep the legs ramrod straight during the movement.

Maybe I’ll devote a video specifically to explain this issue and what you can do to get around it . . .

For now, remember though – this hamstring issue a lot of people have (but isn’t talked about) is one huge reason why although Hindu squats are great – as I say in Squat 101, you must never ever overlook the mighty BODYWEIGHT SQUAT!

And you must not, my friend.

That style of squat really taxes and builds the hamstrings like no other, my friend.

My workouts these days dont involve high reps so much as … well, the number 100 – 100 pushups – and … TOUGH variants of pushups. Hehe.

And part of what I’m doing is pike pushups, so much more planned for Pushup Central – Volume Two.

For NOW, if you haven’t yet gotten Pushup Central, I dont know what you’re waiting for – either you’re not truly serious about your health and fitness, or you’re not a doer, plain and simple in that regard . . .

And thats that, pal.

Back soon.

Growing up, I often saw people doing one of the most natural things to do when their cars stalled (assuming the tyres weren’t the issue).

I even saw my father doing it, which was one of the few “manly” things I ever saw him do – in front of me, anyway.

That was pushing a small economy car along because it stalled due to some reason.

This afternoon, I wish I had my phone with me! I rarely if ever take it out with me when I go unless it’s to film something (if there is a chance of filming something), otherwise, I just leave the blasted dumb thing (or intelli-phone as I gotta tell my daughter, hehe, or she’ll trip) at home.

To hell with it.

Thats what I did when I worked out on the hill, despite numerous requests for wechats, pictures etc.

To me, training time is training time, and not even the most gorgeous of women comes “in between ” my training and me.

Well, some do … Hehe. But not most, and they come AFTER the workout.

Sometimes I even wait for them after my workout.

Anyway – there was a guy pushing a small car today – mumbling something about it not being stable against a brick or something.

Now, I dont interfere unless asked, and men are notoriously picky about these things – if another guy asks them, he might just take it as an insult i.e. “I’m strong enough to do it” – plus I leave people be in general anyway. (I wish more would reciprocate!).

So I said nothing, but that damn thing, I would have pushed it like nothing, I WANTED to help him out, perhaps if I had my phone I’d ask him to video it too.

Thats a great real life workout, works your entire body from head to toe, especially if someone applies the brakes while you push.

If youre Hercules, I wouldn’t do that – not good for the brakes.

If youre not, which I’m not – and most people reading this aren’t, it’s good for your body, wont affect the brakes that much.

Hey, for a guy who once drove to a mountainous region in India with no brake fluid, practically none, I should know! Haha.

Anyway, I was thinking about something entirely else while on the way to pick up the daughter.

About a James Hadley Chase Novel (I dont remember the name, but rabid fans no doubt will) which centers around a Seminole Indian in Florida hell bent for getting revenge for “rich white elitist – or racist, depending upon how you look at it” attitudes towards his Dad growing up – and how he enlists two “vaga bonds” to help with this task.

The first V is a big burly guy named “Chuck” – second … a girl named “Meg”.

And Chuck has a lot of pride in his strength, his massive muscles, and so forth, and Meg kinda likes his BRUTE strength too.

While hitchhiking on the highway they break into an unused house, decide to spend the night there…

… I wont bore you with too much of the story, but later on they – or Chuck, at least, goes to bathe in the sea nearby (or river, I can’t recall).

And while coming out of it he sees another dude there.

This dude was the opposite of Chuck, from a distance skinny.

All steel and whalebone, and as Chase writes …

“As Chuck looked over the Indian, with muscles rippling like a snake underneath it’s skin, he suddenly lost faith in his own strength”.

Dont whine at me, for some reading this – I aint a seminole Indian for one, and Chase wrote it, not me.

But it’s true.

The biggest of people, my friend, if not truly fit – when you see a truly functionally fit person (which is another thing even people who hate my very guts have to admit along with a few other things about me) … then you “feel it”.

It’s about ANIMAL LIKE strength, cat like explosiveness and agility and most muscle bounded monsters with massive bloated tummies – or if you’re a booby building fanatic, striated abs – just dont got it, period.

I won’t get into the details of the book beyond this, including a knife fight shortly thereafter, where Chuck tries to disarm him, almost does it, and then … POW!

Like a cat, the Indian puts Chuck on his back when he least expects it.

And thats the sort of fitness I sell, my friend.

Thats the sort of fitness standard you should hold yourself to anyway, not the nonsense about “I have a different body type” or “bulging biceps” or “I’m big but not fat” – if any of that is your thang hey – I get it. I understand.

But in that case, this here ain’t the right place for ya pally.

Other hand, if youre looking to turn into the leanest, meanest, and STRONGEST cat like version of you – like you never imagined – then all my products ARE for you, friend.

And thats that.

Back soon!

PS – Be sure and (since we’re back on the video train for some reason, hehe) – subscribe to our YouTube channel HERE.

That was a sage comment Jyoti – a girl I’ve been chatting with on twitter made!

Admittedly she is on the bigger side, and loves her chocolate and junk food. Hehe.

But reading it caused me to guffaw and I told her she wasn’t THAT fat (believe me, I’ve seen real fat) – and to workout more and eat less junk.

The second, of course, Madam is nigh impossible, I snickered a little (pun intended).

Which it sometimes is for ladies.

Then of course, I had a dash of something pop into my brain that doesnt a lot of times – common sense.

I mean, if you think your stomach is fat I went. (I wouldn’t want my nether regions in trouble if you get my drift “Bobbitt” – not that she would, hehe, but I added in a corollary anyway “since you said our”).

We’ll see what she responds with.

I’ve got a feeling I’m headed for an ass whipping or tongue lashing – both. Hehe. But I knew that before I started, so I dont mind.

Ok, jokes aside … it’s actually a sage question!

Given the legions of phat phockers plonking down in front of plates of overflowing food they’d be better off NOT shoving down their gullet, and the corresponding “load on the chair” increasing by the gobble – it’s not a bad joke actually, quite realistic.

Not to mention the loads on their systems and fat legs barely able to wobble up a flight of stairs without collapsing.

This, my friend, is no way to live, yet most of the world lives this way.

You know something?

Recently a couple of videos I took – I took them right after dinner – well, 30 minutes later – and it was a HEAVY ass dinner.

I didnt even feel it, when back in the day after eating I’d just slump on the couch or go to bed drunkenly (or “happily” I should say after a lot of BREW).

Yeah, the latter is a far better descriptor – I never really get drunk no matter how much I drink – or drank back in the day which was a hell of a lot my friend – both when I was fat, and not fat -and now too. Hehe.

Anyway.

Taking the videos I didnt think would go absolutely glitch free, to my amazement, it was like I hadn’t eaten anything at all, so intense was my workout before that the body got to work digesting it as soon as I ate it, and was done QUICK too by the looks of it!

Same thing tonight.

I ate a hearty meal fit for a horse – and about as healthy, with potatoes and wheat (and that lovely green chili, hehe) – making up most of it. Or all of it, and clarified butter (think Indian wrestlers slapping on oodles of the stuff on their food) to lubricate the joints better than anything else could (except isometrics – that is an equal).

People literally dont understand how my energy levels keep increasing exponentially as I so called age in years…

Not to mention what a lady told me the other day – what I was told 10 years ago – “you look no older than 26!”

Except when I grow that beard out, hehe, at the age of 19 I never got carded for beer when I did that – which is why I did it (I plead the 4th for anyone reading!) … which I have now for some reason.

Maybe the flavor of the day is turning into a fit, lean, bearded pard…

The last isn’t necessary for super fitness – but to get that corrugated core – my friend, two courses are a must –

The 0 Excuses Fitness System 

Corrugated Core.

And thats that.

PS – Some of you on this list, the absolute sound of “crickets” when you’re asked to buy something …

Really, if you’ve been on this list for over 5 years like a gentleman has (he ain’t the only one by FAR, either in terms of what I mentioned or moaning about other irrelevant nonsense “why do I wear that red sweatshirt all the time” – I mean dude, couldn’t you think of a better one to ask??) and never has any intention of buying anything, just unsubscribe, golly, how much more plainly can I put it…

Friend,

This afternoon, while doing pull-ups at home (chinning bar is located in my daugher’s room, NOT mine – the goal was to get her to pull-ups along with handstand pushups – though the latter has been a resounding success, the former, almost as much of a failure – until NOW, hehe).

Wait till she grows up and is outmuscling me and the meat heads at the gym shooting up effortlessly with each rep!

Speaking of shooting up effortlessly…

Well, first off my forearms feel like they’re been put through a meat grinder I told my daughter.

When you consider the fact that time spent in the park doing the video was about 5 minutes (on pull-ups) and the time spent otherwise doing pull-ups and pushups was 30 – you get the drift.

Then we did the other videos..

But anyway, she agreed.

Well, you have, she said.

“sure have”, I grinned back, never to be outdone – “the workout meat grinder!”

And I finished my set of thick grip pull-ups, moved on to squats, presto, in a bit the daughter showed up to get her HW checked. That by the day is a duty the lovely wife has assigned me amongst many others – not that it matters to the daughter “since Papa never scolds me anyway” (with Mother it’s the opposite, so is the case with “Granny”).

Polar opposite I should say.

Hehe.

I was doing squats, and didnt stop (set of 50).

She handed me the notebook.

I kept going up and down, she started giggling as I held the notebook out telling her the corrections and “to take a look”.

“You can if you squat with me”, I chortled.

And without meaning to, she joined in.

“Three more”, I kept saying.

Just three more.

And we ended up with 100 squats.

Or well, I did with 100, she did with … well, somethin!

But thats OK. She did it, which is what matters.

For kids, thats another prime example of how you get your kids motivated THEMSELVES – mine swings – sorta – clubs for adults if you can believe that.

That she even wanted to, and can lift shoudl speak volumes, it does to ME.

Thats how you do it – yourself, and your children both. Being lazy and fat and kids seeing that growing up, thats precisely what they will emulate whether you want them to or not. Believe me, been there, done that – so have others.

As for yours truly, I was going to end this one off with something but I forgot.

Oh yes, Squat 101 is a must grab.

(And while updating I remembered – again).

Kiddie Fitness is a must grab too, a far better gift for your kids than any (most) of the other junk people give their kids these days.

Nothing wrong with pampering, I do it myself, but balance it out. And don’t forget to be a DOER yourself, not a lazy ass, or it will all be for nought.

Maybe I’m preaching to the choir for some reading this, but it needs to be said, and now I have.

I’ll be back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – While hitting the translate button on this – I remembered.

Show me, you meanie, went a certain someone. Hehe.

And thus, the title…

Giggle. ????
