Most of the literature out there on pull-ups focuses, sadly on rep counts - and not FORM. 

Most of the books out there that teach FORM on pull-ups - teach it WRONG. 

Sadly again. 

And what is most galling is a tip that literally makes your pull-up numbers sky rocket, and upper body strength go STRAIGHT through the roof - is HOW you grip the bar. 

And  MOST people get it wrong, even seasoned fitness fanatics. 

I cannot tell you how many times I've almost thrown a hissy when I see people kipping during pull-ups (an utterly useless practice in terms of bettering form - it does the opposite - in terms of improving strength, or conditioning - maybe if you're trying to save your life, you use your legs, but not otherwise!) - or when gripping the bar when doing either pull-ups or another hidden gem - monkey bar work (if they ever do it, precious few people have the gumption to take that one "callus deep" as it were). 

My two books "Gorilla Grip" - and "Pull-ups from Dud to Stud within a matter of weeks!" - as well as the ADVANCED book on pull-ups i.e. "Pull-ups from STUD to SUPER STUD within WEEKS!" explain these secrets very well. 

If you're someone that has been paying attention to what I write here and not simply thinking "free, free" - then you know the tip, or part of it already. 

But that ain't what this one is about. 

This is about - SPEED. 

Pull-ups - especially the pulling up part - should be done SMOOTHLY for one, and in a CONTROLLED manner, those jerky "by all means possible" pull-ups dont cut it, friend. 

They only give you pulled shoulders and tendonitis amongst others (speaking from personal experience back in the day here). 

While speed is somewhat important, ideally, when getting a good pull-up workout in, the movement upwards should be explosive, and take 1-1.2 seconds at most (with a brief pause once the chin is over the bar, not AT THE BAR!!) (OVER!) ... and then smoothly CONTROLLED back down, perhaps another 1.3 seconds - while you BREATHE correctly, another huge reason for people failing at pull-ups, most forget to breathe or hold their breath - how has been covered in the books. 

And, in the 0 Excuses Fitness System too - I give you tips on how to RECOVER from hard "puffing" workouts as well in the System if you really listen to what I say! 

But despite the 2.5 second pull-up being a great workout, there are ways to make it tougher - equally productive if not more. 

I did 25 pull-ups in my workout yesterday. 

But they felt like 75. 

Most of everything was done SLOW MO. 

I paused for five seconds at the TOP of each pull-up, really feeling the lats and grip with chin over the bar. 

I did dead hangs for 10 seconds before going onto the next rep - without letting go of the bar. 

On the way up, I made sure to slowly go up - ironing out kinks in an already "perfect" technique - I took maybe 5 seconds up, 4 down ... 

In the middle of all this, I kept doing long dead hangs with thick grips. 

Believe me, this workout wasn't easy. 

And believe me when I tell you, THIS workout will make YOU sore for DAYS if you do it right!

As will most of the workouts in the books mentioned if you do 'em RIGHT. 

I'm not saying go this slow all the time - but be honest, how many times have you heard about these slow mo workouts as opposed to "fast"! 

Slow, even with Animal Kingdom Workouts often taxes everything DEEP down inside. 

It sparks muscle growth like never before. 

It irons out and rectifies weakenesses in your tendons, ligaments and joints. 

IT strengthens the grip beyond belief. 

And so much more, my friend. 

Be sure and try some of these slow mo workouts in terms of pull-ups, or perhaps even pushups every so often. 

And, get back to me and tell me how it feels. 

OK, all for now. 

And before I forget : GET the books above. Best ever!

A while ago, I wrote about how the China Health Organization (WHO) had basically "formalized and adopted" something which yours truly "pioneer" fitness wise has been doing seemingly forever, at least ever since I can recall.

That being, mini workouts throughout the day (I just got done with one!).

Brief little workout.

20 pull-ups, 20 handstand pushups, for me, nothing special, for most people, they'd be lucky to do half of that throughout the day if even once. Then I finished off with the patented Rahul Mookerjee asian squat.

I was done.

But while I'd been talking about it for ages, people were still hemming, hawing and arguing about it.

"Just 10 minutes per workout, how can that be!"

Well, it's a lot if done right, and done throughout the day!

Anyway, the CHO posted an article about "exercise snacks" during the day - which is the same thing, and of course, the sheeple immediately glowered at me, and started to catch on(the non lazy ones).

I gotta say it, the need for "validation" people - sheeple - have is astounding. Then again, maybe not. Thats why the term sheeple exists!

Anyway, as of late I've been seeing a host of celebritis globally doing what is one of the best ab exercises ever (core, actually) - something that done right will give you a 12 pack and then some - and a really solid, strong, functional, fat free core too.

That is an exercise I've touted heavily in Pull-ups - from Stud to SUPER STUD within weeks - with variations, and also in Corrugated Core!

The hanging leg raise, and believe me, the basic leg raise is ONE thing - the variations are quite another.

Pay close, close attention to form on this (and everything else I teach you!) friend.

IT ain't about swinging your legs up.

The opposite, actually.

Do the former, you might look good for an instant inf ront of the camera but you'll get nowhere.

The latter will, however, get you on the royal road to ab trainign the old timers traveled, and yours truly does all the time ...

Anyway, Bollywood hunk (one time) Milind Soman - and a former model/swimmer - now 50 plus was recently seen doing these.

Milind has often been seen doing pull-ups etc, in addition to running barefoot on the streets of India (something I could never do, hehe) - and he had a goal to do X number of pull-ups per set last year, I believe, which I think he reached.

I think, at least. Yours truly doesn't watch videos, neither does he do Instagram.

(Could probably build a huge following on there, but I dont like videos. Period. And this business ain't gonna be structured on what I dont like. Sure, I made several stellar ones for the System but as of now, thats IT in terms of videos despite what the ROW is doing - always been the "opposite" for that matter yours truly, heh).

Anyway, I watched a short snippet he posted recently - "wild man style".

Long white hair, beard, dirty feet, and doing "hanging leg raises" - thebasic style!

He does the basic style pretty well.

I'm sure he could get to the advanced stuff too ... and he ain't the only one starting to "go back to basics"

More and more people are starting to realize the need to do so.

But the CROWN  - or the jewel in the crown of ab exercises isn't just the hanging leg raise and it's variants, in and as of themselves enough to fry your grip and core for days.

It is the exercise you see me doing on the COVER of "Pull-ups - from STUD to SUPER STUD - WITHIN WEEKS!"

It might look like a leg raise, and it's a variant, but it's ANYTHING but "just a leg raise".

It's detailed in the book too!

And of course, it is the picture the trolls picked up on, much like the picture from Advanced Hill Training ...

You on this list have seen the review the "Cuck of Brum" (or Brum's favorite "splattered" cuck) Glyn Schofield left on it, hehe.

He ain't the only one. He's just the most vocal, and the leader of the troll pack.

Quite possibly the best damned troll ever, hehe.

But anyway ...

The other thing to learn here?

Is if you look at Soman, yours truly in the book, or any of the rest, you'll see that FAT CONTENT on the body is at a minimal level.

IT's there, yes.

You need SOME fat.

But beyond what you need, you dont need any!

And diet, my friend is key.

Most people don't hike hills for hours like I did, or do Battletank Shoulder workouts for 3 hours ...

If you do, eat (and or drink) accordingly, but remember - you can only burn the candle at both ends for so long.

Rest of you, well, pay attention to your DIET or that 12 pack will never show through.

And that, my friend is that.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - Remember, Fast and Furious Fitness is where it all started, and you owe it to yourself to pick up the Collector's Edition we have left - just ONE copy remaining now! Hurry, because this won't last forever either.

And no, once gone, I ain't gonna do a reprint either. Once gone, its gone, so get your thang on now if you want IN!

I ain't talking "wang doodle" pull-ups either here. 

(Sorry that I gotta say that up front, my friend, but you'd be amazed at the inquiries I get - I once got from none other Bozo Schofield saying "my wife won't make love to me since I have a small penis"). 

(He was on Freak-Book under a different nick in my group there. I believe he still is, hehe.I ain't had the heart to kick him out (but I am sure this gives him more ideas which I eagerly await and anticipate so I can share more with y'all!)). 

But anyway, God(dess) pity the woman who would be with Bozo, much less marry him or be in a relationship, even one he pays. (with stolen funds). 

But anyway, pull-ups. 

A long time ago, another old man in China (and again, this was during my afternoon shift workouts) with a great Alsatian dog (thankfully not the pink rat dogs the Chinese so love! - I love German Shepherds. ALWAYS been my favorite) used to see me doing pull-ups out there, and often tried to do what I did. 

Of course, he tried as EVERYONE does the "chin up" style. 

To his credit, he got ONE out ... almost. 

(No Schofield not that one). 

Thats another thing, the people constantly carping on chin ups for SHOW, and not doing the REAL strength builder - pull-ups. 

I have covered reasons on that one before, so won't get into it again. 

But anyway, as he saw me doing 'em, he'd often make the sign with his hand. 

Like a flat hand at the base of the neck, as if he were chopping it off. 

HE meant, thats how you do pull-ups. 

I was doing them to the chest, of course ... 

But this old man (not one of my favorites admittedly, but friendly enough anyway - not favorite because he talked too much, and didnt do the thing) had it spot on. 

Look, guys. 

Lots of you have gotten good at pull-ups after investing in my course "Pull-ups from DUD to STUD within a matter of WEEKS!" and yes, it truly is the best out there for newbies at the pull-up, or even Jim Shim guys who claim they're big and can bench Manhattan when they're FAT and can't do a pull-up or hang on to the bar after YEARS of trying at the gym (and after all the advice the idiot trainers at the gym gave 'em). 

But lots of you, and I've noticed then when coaching, even those of you that do it without momentum like I tell you to - bring the chin up to the bar, slightly beyond, and then repeat. 

Now, this is great. 

Thats how it's meant to be done, but for max effect? 

You dont just bring your chin across the bar and repeat. 

You pause - and you pull up just that little more until your Adam's apple or preferably base of the neck is touching the pull-up bar, THEN you repeat!

This last bit, my friend, if you're using the lats - really CRUNCHES The biceps. 

Not the peak. 

Not the third intergalactic strand the bros pump. 

But the BOTTOM of the muscle, where it starts, and this does more to build trap and bicep strength than anything else, including all the chin-ups you do. 

Even the chin up, when it really hits you, you'll feel the muscle "bulging out". 

FRom the bottom. 

And with the pull-ups, your elbows will naturally come down to LATS if you do 'em right. 

Truly lats like bats, hehe. 

So remember, much like in life - with the pull-up - the LAST bit is what counts!

Napoloen Hill said it for life of course. 

MOst men experience their greatest successes just a step beyond their greatest failure. 

Read "Three Feet from Gold" for more on that or a condensed version in Think and Grow Rich. 

But for now, thats the point. 

Apply it!

Best 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - It's impossible not to talk shoulders with traps, no? That part of the body that everyon eloves, Bozos, gym goers, women, real strength trainees and so forth? 

Well, get building them in a superlative manner with Barnstormer Shoulders now, and turn into a human beast with the routines therein. 

Move over "Simple and Effective Diet". THIS is the book that is Simple and Effective, as a customer said! 

It might be a rhetorical question, but it hits home doesnt it? 

Especially for a lot of you gym goers out there that claim to bench the world, but can't hang on to the pull-up bar to save your life (quite literally). 

But anyway, I posed this SAME question on another site, in a different manner. 

That was about "attracting women" and the long line of Bozos standing around on street corners and massage parlors and such with dicklets in hand and what not because they "can't get none at home or wherever, or what not" .. and how I said you dont (on that list) necessarily need to DO any of that. 

Basically, there are certain rules to attracting women (those you want) - and the same thing holds true for WOMEN - except women in general are more attudned to their inner selves and what needs to be done than most men who literally think with their little brains *heads*. 

A certain someone comes to mind, hehe. 

But it ain't about anyone in particular necessarily, but anyway, I posed the very real and RIGHT question. 

More unsubscribes, and in droves. 

And I welcome it. 

If there is one thing I cannot stand more than the DO NOTHING's, it's the DO NOTHINGS that pitch up a hissy upon being told they are do nothings. 

One guy wrote back to tell me "how he'd pay me if I introduced girls to him that would do what I wanted". 

Hmm. 

Last I checked I didnt operate a call girl service, and dont have any plans on doing so! 

(And those inane messages I keep getting of "Sir, we have dating services". UGH. Don't want 'em...) 

But anyway, exercise and back to it. 

I mean, lets face it fella. 

You DO want to do 'em. 

And a lot of people secretly look at people that can do the thing - and then make the snarky comments about "how he has it good" and other bullshit, while igorning the facts that they are a) lard asses that cant do the thing and b) too cheap to fork out the bucks to learn HOW and c), and MOST IMPORTANTLY - when someone calls them out for it - it hits HOME, so they throw a fit. 

Like a certain Charles did ... (not the customer obviously) ... for a post that didnt even have him in mind. Hehe. Tells you a ton about the nutjobs "secretly" following every little tidbit of what I say or write, but wont admit it. 

Hey, what can I say. 

All learn from the Master at it ... 

And I've earned the right to call myself not just that - but a SUPER STUD at pull-ups, and I will. 

And so should you (earn the right). 

And we ALL know you WANT to. 

BUt unfortunately, nothing comes without sacrifice, and nothing is free in life (not even pull-ups, hehe). 

"Aint nothing free in life. Jake". 

Anyway, enough on this. I'm out. BAck soon! 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - Pick up the compilation on pull-ups HERE - -and get cracking, and write back once you get good at 'em. Like with Gautam and many others, I'll share your tales with the WROLD! 

Yes, WROLD. Hehe. 

Oh boy.

I just saw a video I HAD to share with you guys.

I don’t normally watch videos in the first place, but this one was special.

The headline itself was special.

A 70 kg (yea, thats right – 70!) arm wrestler beat a veritable GIANT – and one of the world’s strongest bodybuilders Larry Wheels in a MATCH.

A 5 round match.

Rahul Panicker from Kochi was the arm wrestler who did it.

And while he looks FIT and hardly a midget as described in the headline, next to the gigantic Larry Wheels and the even more gigantic bloated muscles ??

It is indeed David VS Goliath, and then some!

The small dude lost the first two rounds, but he’s just getting warmed up it seems. Hehe.

And the match took place in “Jim Shim” of all places with boobybuilders with rippling muscles looking on. 

Round 3, 4 and 5 went to “Rahul”.

And as he walked away from the table smiling, I can’t help but LAUGH.

At all the people who say “size is really what matters”.

Or, “I could pick you up and throw you through the window”.

My former friend Charles comes to mind, hehe.

Can’t do a pull-up despite years of trying, finds every opportunity to criticize me for saying what I do the way I do, supports Bozo Schofield and his racist antic, and so forth ...

... and of course, says “he’s a big guy” when he’s actually FAT.

He’s bigger than me, sure.

But his grip is about 10 times weaker despite the deadlifts he supposedly does.

Now, this isn’t a rant against him or fat guys.

But the point begets.

It ain’t about size, or size of the dog my friend. 

It’s about the size of the FIGHT in the dog!

I still remember an incident in college, where a person named Bruce asked me if I Could arm wrestle him.

That was my pre Gorilla Grip days. But I did do pushups (albeit just one kind occasionally).

“Um, I don’t know”, I said. I was skinny and had a weak ass grip at that point, and Bruce laughed.

“Nah. You do pushups and you could probably beat me!”

And at that point, we never arm wrestled, but knowing his grip strength back then, built from a lifetime of working on cars?

He could probably have beat my ass at arm wrestling despite being even skinnier than I was.

His roommate Vincent was one of the gym gorillas, agood friend, and the same person who once told me that “you can’t be the strongest in the gym” when “Bimbo instructor” in physical education102 or some such BS was trying to get me on the machines and all “pumped and toned” and I threw a hissy (rightfully so).

But he had a weak grip, and I remember beating him at arm wrestling often.

But anyway, back to the video.

I see Larry Wheels’s biceps PEAK.

I see the peak of his biceps RIPPLE and RIPPLE MORE!

As he tries to defeat the much smaller guy.

Who then pulls his arm to the “floor” as it were.

And that, my friend, is all the proof you need in terms of real strength NOT being related to size (in case you needed any more, that is!).

And I don’t know what sort of training Rahul does.

Not yours truly.

Panicker.

But I bet the MAN from Kochi does pushups and pull-ups amongst other things ...

Anyway, thats the David VS goliath story for now.

And to get a grip as strong as Rahuls, or perhaps MORE – if you do the thing – here are the two courses that will do it.

Gorilla Grip

Gorilla Grip (Advanced).

Have at (Oh, and the book on tips is there too in case you so choose!).

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Be sure and pick up the best compilation on pull-ups right here.

PS – I was around 65kg when my wife said I was “too skinny and weak”. And people IN THE KNOW said I was in great shape (from following the 0 Excuses Fitness System).

Who was right? YOU decide!

This is something interesting!

And it struck me right after that hearty, starchy meal of POTATOES and CHEESE, and right now I’m so relaxed momentum and/or pull-ups, or any sort of exercise other than getting my ass off the chair and into the bed is not on my mind.

It will later, but not now.

Yawn.

The tiger BE Ready to rest!

But anyway, pull-ups.

I’ve often spoken about and railed against why KIPPING, despite being promoted by the pundit-shundits, experts-sh-em-experts, gym goers, Crossfitters and many others alike is not only NOT good when doing pull-ups, but it can also seriously impact your gains in the long term in this great exercise if you keep doing it that way

If you do it to “try” and never do it again?

Well, goodie.

But most people get addicted to the “rush” and “kick” (literally) and keep doing ‘em that way to feed their numbers and stoke their EGOS.

Truth is, you do NOT use momentum of ANY NATURE from the lower body while doing pull-ups right bro

Truth is you don’t use the legs at all.

You don’t even (preferably) bend them as it taught. Sure, you CAN do em that way, but advanced pull-ups mean your legs remain STRAIGHT and do NOT generate any momentum while being straight – and this is mentioned in both Battletank Shoulders – and Pull-ups - - from STUD to SUPER STUD within WEEKS!

But there IS momentum that cannot be avoided, especially with higher reps.

Not the “do one and do five kind”, though thats great.

It’s upper body momentum.

Many people have written in about this in the past too.

“Rahul, when doing high rep pull-ups, I tend to “swing a bit””).

Indeed you DO, Jack . . . 

Now, I dont mean swing uncontrollably.

No.

But if you’re doing pull-ups QUICKLY, up an down, up and down, up and DOWN ... you’ll soon find out one thing if you’re doing ‘em right, chin over bar each time.

That you will generate some sort of momentum and a wee bit of swinging unless you do ‘em SLOW (which is how you should learn ‘em, and how I advocate you learn them in “Pull-ups - - from DUD to STUD within WEEKS!” - and yes, THIS course is a must along with Shoulders like Boulders! Before you invest in the two advanced courses above).

Or you can invest now, but DO the thing per the elementary courses first, and then advanced.

Elementary, I know.

I know.

But you’ be surprised at how many people miss the boat on that one.

Jumping straight to advanced does NOT work. You gotta BUILD a solid foundation first.

And back to advanced pull-ups, I’ve said in the book they work the entire body (workout wise) and give you EXCELLENT cardio.

This second bit STUNS most people, but as you’ll see in the advanced book, it’s VERY much possible!

Yes, you can get a super cardio workout doing an exercise which barely taxes the legs unless you’re doing Swami pull-ups, and even then, you dont move the legs.

Position, but not force!

And while doing advanced pull-ups, you WILL generate momentum, but it’s from the lats and armpits.

I’d still say minimize the swinging, but to a certain extent you’ll see it’s unavoidable.

And that, my friend, is the takeaway from THAT.

Many, actually.

See how you can implement them into your own training.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – If you’re the “Value grab” sort – make sure to pick up the compilations on pull-ups and other upper body workouts that together will build an Adnois like (or “female equivalent” I can’t remember the name now!) body - - and GRIZZLY like strength to boot -

Pull-ups – from DUD to STUD to SUPER STUD within WEEKS!

Barnstormer SHOULDERS!

Have ... AT!

And how you should too ...

On the other site, and recently I wrote about how to know if you’re dealing with a cauldron of NEGATIVITY.

Towards the end of that email, I wrote about how the bozos, nutjobs, wankers, pissers and moaners, Mama’s boys, Schofields (the Bozos that is), whiners, and LOSERS IN LIFE (and everything else) complain about “you’re so fit because you have good genetics”.

One of the most ridiculous things I heard recently was this.

“You have long hands so you can do pull-ups better”

Huh???

Lady, (this was a lady) what frigging planet you BE living on.

First off, the size of your hands has nothing to do with anything other than (according to what some people say) whats in your PANTS.

The thumb, or whatever.

I’m not even sure thats ACCURATE.

Second, and more importantly, I have SMALL hands. I’ve often laughingly compared them to female hands and (though they said it was a “little bigger”), my hands were by no means much bigger.

Look at Sylvester Stallone for one, a guy thats achieved more of NOTE and WORTH than the Bozos and MONKEYS out there couldn’t dream of. 

When you think action – who do you think ?

STALLONE!

HE IS THE ONE that inspired Arnie, Willis and the rest! (and more recently perhaps Vin Diesel and the lot, and if you’re into Bollywood, whoever you follow there).

Sanjay Dutt for one openly admits to being influenced by Stallone!

And if you see his earlier movies, you’ll notice that he copied Stallone on many of the things he did. It aint’ just him either. Sly is a legend, and a trail blazer – nuff said!

And his hands – and shape in general?

He’s not a big guy. HE’s a SMALL GUY!

His hands are probably even tinier than mine. They did a wax something of his hands somewhere in New York, and a past girlfriend once saw it.

My hands are bigger than his, she said.

And yet ...

Ditto for yours truly.

If I’ve been able to do what I have with crappy genetics, and an even crappier and UNINSPIRING upbringing – what will YOU be able to do?

Herschel Walker, for one – you wouldn’t think it – but he wasn’t a big guy naturally, and no, “muscle doesnt stick to him like shit”. These excuses are so damned pathetic, especially when THE MAN HIMSELF has refuted this bullshit!

And back to it.

I’ve got LONG arms. Longer than the norm.

Monkey arms as it were, hehe.

And they ARE long.

And when doing pull-ups thats another natural disadvantage along with my SMALL hands.

Yet, I made up my mind to become the BEST at grip – and I did.

I made up my mind to get STRONGER than a lot of people triple my size – and in many ways I DID.

Lets see how many big dudes can even get into a handstand and hold for one!

Including you weight lifters and preeners and posers out there ...

I made up my mind to get the Corrguated Core I write so much about – and I did. Tell that to the nutwards who supposedly walk miles daily at 3 AM or some such nonsense on planet “I’m wayyyyyyyy out there, broooooooooooooooo”.

I made up my mind to get good at pull-ups.

And by God, or not, I DID!

You focus on the SOLUTION, bro.

As they say in the Seals and other elite units (including most likely SWAT teams etc).

DEAL WITH IT!

And get her done.

And thats what it’s about – BRO.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Some of you have said the advanced book on pull-ups is too expensive. Well, hey, I get it. It IS expensive, but it will stay that way (fortunately or not is another story). The solution there is to get the compilation - - and when you compare the prices ... well ‘nuff said!

(But hurry – I might re-price in the New Year).

Some of you read this in the last email.

But it’s interesting, how things work ...

Yours truly with all the “castigation” coming from “home” (and while the “el cranko” part is well deserved, to be very fair, a lot of the rest of it isn’t).

But then again.

Like strongman Dejon (and he does the REAL STUFF, the real lifts!) said ... you can and should always a measure a man’s worth by the number of HATERS he has.

‘Tis true my friend.

‘Tis true.

And it’s also one prime reason behind “tell the world what you’re going to do, but show it first!”

Anyway, the monkey part was covered in the last email.

If you can be a monkey, so can I!

So she said, so said the “fiery lady from Northern India” (and they make a lot of them fire breathers up there in them neck of the woods, hehe).

Probably what drew me to her in the first place, and I won’t even get into mistakes or not HERE. LOL.

But really, point of this.

My daughter is 7 years old. So getting her to do as much activity as possible is GOOD.

The more she does, the better, especially with all the inane donkey like lockdowns globally.

Really if there was a more USELESS activity which pretty much forces everyone into a huddle together when they don’t want to be, and an activity that kills global economies much like the plague is scathing through the globe, I’m yet to see it.

Not to mention that lockdowns don’t work, period.

They EXCABERATE pre-existing problems, and they do NOT solve the spread of the China plague, or Bubonic plague, or any which anything.

And they weren’t implemented for SARS. They weren’t implmeneted for Ebola. And for some of the deadlier viruses around, and yet now ...

Yes, I get it. This thing spreads differently.

But the bottom line, as I told my “buddy” out there in the park.

Him of the “running” really works! Do you remember? Hope so!

“China done spread this shit and now we’re left dealing with it. What you’re gonna do bro? Mask up and run scared, or just man up, face it, DEAL with it,and MOVE ON!”

And he agreed in full.

He’s not a mask wearer either except when he really needs to ...

But back to it, my wife seems to be getting a little “heavy” around the tummy area apparently (from what she says, at least).

And for a woman who used to have a 13 pack (or 12, hehe) from working out in the field when young – well t hat must be galling!

I wrote about field work in the last email. Well, a few emails ago!

And how it builds fitness like few other things can ...

And anyway, back to monkeying around. 

The sort of workouts I advocate go beyond “just pull-ups” and pumping the lats.

They’ll get your obliques in shape – FAST.

You’ll build a rock solid grip, and start developing that SIX Pack you’ve always wanted.

Indigestion, flatulence, and other issues like insomnia plaguing most people will become a thing of the past.

You will become a real man – or WOMAN – or “in between”, hehe. Whatever it is, it won’t be fake.

And you’ll develop strength and fitness levels, that, as Charless Mitchell, a long time customer rightly said will put you into an elite “0.00001%” bracket.

Get on the train NOW, my friend. Truly worth it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Oh, almost forgot the dancing monkey part. Just saw it when clicking “post”. Them ESL gigs out there for one, hehe. Prime example of bozo like dancing monkey. No wonder that the BOZO himself, Schofield did pretty much that and nothing else to fuel his drug infused rants, binges and what not. But yeah. No worries. I’ve turned her – and myself into PRIMAL CAVEMAN – and WOMAN – with REAL “from the inside” GUMPTION and strength.

Don’t believe me?

Get on the pull-up workouts – and then tell me!

And check out the testimonials on all of this while you’re at it too, hehe.

Its funny, ain't it.

Not only is the grass always greener on the other side (sometimes it truly IS, hehe), but we tend to crave that what we “cannot do” (or think we cannot). 

And fitness, and exercise is a prime example.

I've often asked the average boobybuilder and bench presser if they (for instance) would want to be able to walk up and down flights of stairs repeatedly daily ...

.. Without support ...

On their hands!! ;)

And the more outrageous (seemingly so) the act (though really, if you train for it, and can do it, you'll need to do NOTHING else in terms of exercise) the more the denials.

“Hmmph! That stupid stuff!”

“HA! Thats gymnastics bro! Why would I want to do that rubbish! I'm here for strength, broooo!”

“I don't care about bodyweight! We all know it's useless!”

And so forth.

It's funny.

I just received an email from a guy who claims to be great at deadlifts and can “pull a house” according to him (or was it curl).

And this guy had emailed me before as well.

Both times wrt a course on that almighty exercise, the pull-up ...

I didnt really respond at length to him the first time.

And the second time all I said was this.

“Hey, thats great man”.

Thats it.

And apparently that set him off.

How dare I.

How dare I ignore the fact that despite his repeated trilling about “bodyweight exercises are useless”, he wants to do pull-ups secretly but can't?

Hey, I get it.

We all do, whether we admit it or not.

And hence the folks that want free copies of my books “because they want to read it”.

Because they'd love to be in that sort of shape, but are too petrified to actualyl do it (remember, anytime you give anyone ANYTING for free, it's never valued – the exact opposite in fact almost instantly) ... and of course are looking for an excuse to diss you down the road in terms of “the iron is where it's at”. 

I could certainly take names and kick ass in that regard on the above, hehe, but I'll let the “suspense” build (mindblowing I know, hehe).

But really.

If you want to do it, then just come out and say it my friend.

And then just do it, and it's that simple!

Fitness wise, start right HERE.

Truly the best investment you'll ever make, and the best results ever as you can see!

Best,

So, today’s topic is an interesting variation on pull-ups.

And, something I’ve not written about a lot as of yet.

That being, rope . . . (which I HAVE written about) pull-ups, and RING pull-ups.

As in, pull-ups done on gymnastic rings.

Or, similar rings in the park (or wherever, really!).

And I’m here to tell you this; these rope and ring pull-ups give you the BEST damn workout of your life if used correctly, not to mention FRY your grip from here, to tomorrow, and to kingdom come!

What do I mean?

Well, I did 55 pull-ups today.

And only 10 of these were regular thick grip (bar) pull-ups.

Ultra thick grip, and while I do great at these, know what I did NOT do so great at today?

The combo, the GRIP-i-licous combo I just mentioned! ?

That being, ROPE pull-ups (done on chains, actually) and gymnastic ring pull-ups (done monkey bar style out there in the park).

And the two of them gave me a workout from Cain today.

Believe me, when you alternate between sets of 15 for these, and do so QUICKLY – you’ll quickly fry not just your grip but your biceps and entire back too!

And while pull-ups aren’t and rightfully so meant to be “bicep specific” (not if done RIGHT!!!) - - the fact is that THIS exact sort of training will wreak havoc on the biceps, and cause them to grow like never before.

Work them in with regular pull-ups, and you’ll see that same growth on the traps too and forearms.

But again, for these?

Inner forearm work, and then some, not to mention fingers of rebar – believe me, it was all I could do to HOLD ON TO THEM chains as I trained out there today!

And believe me, if you add in regular monkey bar work, your overall upper body strength and conditioning will shoot so quickly through the roof that it ain’t even funny.

You’ll literally be approaching human “da xing xing” status as the Chinese call me (Mandarin Chinese for “gorilla”) as they see me working out ther.

And as the years go by, it does nothing to dim the fervor with which they say these words, and rightfully so!

Anyway, that’s a short one, I know, but it’s what I got for ya today, and believe me, it ain’t the length - - it’s the girth and SUBSTANCE that counts, and NO, it ain’t what you think either! ?

Best,

Ps – HERE is where you can learn how to do pull-ups the right way, my friend. The vast majority of male adults cant even hang on to the bar, let alone do pull-ups. Rectify this and do so quick – right HERE.
