Do you secretly wish you got comments like the below most of the time -
"You've got unnatural pulling power! It has to be something to do with the exercises you do!" (from folks that outweigh me by about a 1000 pounds - well - not really - but you get the drift - and folks from various disciplines of life, including, but not limited to those from the elite forces, boxers, weightlifters and the like).
"You need to take it easy, man!" (when shaking hands with folks)
"Man - you're a skinny dude - and yet you've got this amazing grip strength, not to mention the fact you're in shape".
Farmers, wrestlers, strongmen (note Ð I mean STRONG men, not the bloated Òmuscle boysÓ you see preening Òtheir stuffÓ in the gyms), tennis players, elite forces all over the world, and martial artists.
What do the following groups of people have in common, other than the fact they perform different types of physical activity on a regular and daily basis?
Some may have Òbulging musclesÓ, and some may not. Some may be Òripped to shredsÓ (UGH, I think IÕm going to rip the next book apart that spouts that sort of nonsense), and others might be solidly built. Some might even need to lose a bit of weight, while others might be so skinny you could hang a pair of freshly pressed trousers on them.
So, and again, what do these people all have in common?
Strength and stamina, I hear some of you say.
Well, good answer - - but what else?
A STRONG GRIP.
A farmer, for instance, might not have archetypical ÒshowÓ muscles, but grip his hand at the end of a long, hard day (his, spent working on the farm), and youÕll quickly experience the closest thing you can to an actual gorillaÕs grip.
A wrestlerÕs forearm might not look ÒprettyÓ, and neither might his calloused and bandaged hands, but those very mitts can take the typical bodybuilderÕs arm in a vice like grip that the bodybuilder would be hard pressed to even TRY and escape from, and do things with it that would have the average ÒpretezelÓblushing with shame (that old line, Òtwist you into a pretezelÓ!).
A tennis player, martial artist, a boxer, a gymnast Ð you name it, and the list goes on and on Ð all people that perform physical activity on a daily basis, different sorts, but they have all that ONE thing in common i.e. a strong, bone crushing, vice like grip.
And THIS is the one course that cuts past all the B.S. an d helps you GET IT.
From that truly KNOWS a little something, and then something about this topic ..!
