I’ve written often about the importance of strengthening your weak links – to the point where they become strengths, preferably – and when it come to physical training?

The grip – and the NECK are two often ignored parts of the body, and the weak links.

But you already “predicted” I’d say that, eh?

Probably given my emails of the past day or so …

But lets switch tacks a bit and rap about LIFE.

You on this list are well aware of the fact that I stay A-LONE – and when I DO live with my “wife” (if I can even call her that!) it ain’t pleasant at all.

Dont get me wrong.

I’ve tried in the past. Many a times.

But the Nazi feminism, something which I believe a lot of women move towards “unconsciously” after marriage, and even more so after having kids (which whether or not the guys actually “want” the kids or not – thats a different issue! In my case, completely unplanned, but now that my daughter is here, I love it -and she’s pretty much the only family I have).

And thats being honest.

(But it isn’t excusing the way it happened, but thats a different story).

But anyway, all that aside . . . my “one weak link in the chain” when I’m there?

Well, shared living accomodation I guess, if you can call it that (we sleep in different rooms whenever possible), but certain things in the house – well – it’s hard to break a fridge into two, for instance.

And battles break out over the smallest of things, even though one tries to avoid it.

There is no “fair” with women, which of course yours truly has never understood or accepted.

One way street, basically.

Which I’m sure you on this list can identify with.

And it’ll be in the upcoming book on Nazi feminism, and how to profit from it.

And while you read that, remember this testimonial (or it wasn’t really that – it was a conversation we were having – but it was about this, I believe) from a great customer of mine (fitness books)

 ….You seem to have figured out how to live on your own terms and very few men can say that, especially the married ones….

I believe a lot of you might be dealing with this sort of thing, or perhaps a “variant” – especially those of you stuck “Stateside”, not being able to travel back to where you were, etc etc . . .

The plague from china has done many things.

For one, it’s FORCED people to either accept their relationship as it is, or permanently DROP it.

Which to me is a good thing in many ways – as many things that were overdue are now being “forced” to happen. (dont get me wrong, I am NOT for one minute excusing the mass worldwide killing that this ccp spread virus did!).

But in many words, as a friend from the Marines told me last year “the world needs a cleansing”.

And in many ways, it’s long overdue – I believe I’ve written about that a LOT in the past too. Universal justice and what Emerson had to say on that for one .. (ah, I believe I wrote bout that yesterday!)

Anyway, in my case it’s always been in the past a simple matter of as a friend said “gather your breath, figure out the next move, and …”

But it was still a weak link “while I was there”.

So, training wise, remember this.

If your grip is weak, you could have the biggest biceps in the world, or the heftiest curl in the gym, but when it comes to life or death situations, like the “unsung hero” I wrote about yesterday, or Sig Klein and the burning building as written about here – – well, you’ll flop miserably.

Not to mention the neck and grip are two areas of the body that scream strength and power that nothing else can, and not to mention that it is virtually impossible to be really strong without truly strengthening these two areas!

Bull necks aren’t just something people talk about.

It’s something that is INVALUABLE in any physical sport or martial art (or combat sport, I should have said) – wrestling (the obvious), Boxing (lets see how strong you are in the ring with a weak flabby GUT or a neck that can’t take a punch) , Ji Jitsu holds, and so forth …

And even if you’re the average Joe or Jane not into any of this neck and back pain is pretty much a pandemic these days if not an “epidemic”.

(lower back).

Strengthen the neck with the bridge, my friend, you’ll strengthen the entire body.

Last, but not least, my OWN grip, and I’ve written about this so many times, and this is probably the most important reason I’m writing to you about it has been a WEAK point for MOST of my life.

Yet, I worked upon it – used the “anger” I felt when people took “advantage  of it” and they will, trust me – and I built myself up into the Gorilla Grip “kung fu” like guy in that regard.

Most people focus on strong points, and making those better, which is fine.

But if you focus on the weak, and make it a strong, or strongest – youll do even better!

And that, my friend is the wisdom of the day.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
