The Minimum – Maximum Workout
- have you tried it?

Quick one this, but might be helpful to some of ya’ll reading!

I dont train this way all the time, or a lot at all. But it’s an unique way to train, its a way to increase rep counts, really focus on forms and the muscles being worked – most of all, slow and easy “deep breathing” while doing the exercises.

I’ve found this to work great with both isometric and “dynamic” bodyweight workouts – or a combo of the two.

And it’s simple.

(I dont recommend training this way ALL the time – because the cardio impacts aren’t that great – but sometimes, or while training for cardio this way – YES, I do recommend it).

And it’s simple – do a max set. For me, I did pull-ups, and my max in good, SLOW form per set is 12 (though I can “go more” – but I take my “max form” as something I can pump out “even when exhausted in good form” as that is keeping it HONEST) …

… and min obviously 1.

And I did 35 pull-ups this way, and I’m fixing to go do MORE.

Can be done with pushups, and any other form of exercise you so choose. Try it, and write back with how you FEEL!

And thats that.

PS – What, no sales PITCH in this here email? Well, here it is – the 0 Excuses Fitness System, choc a bloc with pathbreaking and results producing tips (the 10 Commandments section itself is well worth the price of admission) like you’ve never ever seen, read, or heard of before. Even if that is the only section you’d read, you’d turn into a SUPERHERO – guaranteed. . Get this system now, it will change your life and fitness forever, and thats that.

PS #2 – This is an interesting and cool way to do “ladder” workouts which I’ve taken to the NEXT level altogether in terms of benefits for YOU (“Pavel” ain’t got “shyt” on me, hehe – Training Day! ;)) – and so TRY this – ladders are mentioned in damn near all my fitness books (ladder workouts, laddie) and implement this tip too – and report back when you reach superhuman status, and I’ll share it with the world!

Nothing delivers like 0 Excuses Fitness. Truly, nothing at all, and our hordes and legions of FANS know this!

Stalk like a TIGER, strike like a SNAKE!
- Yes.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a beer.

Ooops. hehe.

You know my drift, both sting, surely RIGHT!

But you get my drift, the ole Ali saying – which Ali didnt coin, but Im sure he’d agree.

I am 100 % positive if he were around today he’d agree (as I am 200% certain people like Herschel Walker, for one would agree) –

(or iron Mike, or any real DOER) –

A 100 pushups done (proper cadence) keeps the ole DOC away.

So does a 100 SQUATS

One that has caused a lot of consternation amongst idiots, Bozos and fat boys (and girls) alike (they’re usually all of the same ilk  minus Glyn’s more abhorrent qualities – so they’re fun, hehe) *Schofield hell no*

IF YOU ain’t SQUATTING, then you ain’t TRAINING.

And thats the bottom line, period.

I’ve explained this more in Squat 101 – the TIPS!

In truly buccaneering Rahul Mookerjee style like never before, this book will soon be on Audible, so will the cOMPILATION!

But today we’ll talk about something you might not associate with squats and pushups.

STALK like a TIGER.

You’d think, crouch, move etc – but I’m saying STALK.

STRIKE like a snake.

You’d think the tiger?

Nah.

Why do I say this, well, the tiger is the true king of the jungle as anyone knows (the big cat that is known as such doesn’t even live in the jungle and wouldn’t stand two hoots of a chance in a cage match against the mighty tiger – period).

And it is INTELLIGENT.

It can remember things up to 30 times better than us humans – yes, short term memory.

It can also stalk it’s prey for not just days, but MONTHS.

It carries grudges if wronged, yet, if not – it is, as Corbett wrote about, “a true gentleman”.

Proof – as a kid he used to often go to sleep in the Jungles of India, then TEEMING with tigers (before idiots killed off a lot of them).

Those idiots being the Indian Maharajas. Chuck, I dont agree with you on a lot of things, but hordes of grown male fools pursuing ONE tiger on a herd of elephants, with guns – you call that hunting?

Get real bro!

Pathetic.

Hunt like a man, like Corbett did, one on time, then you’re a man.

Else you’re a pansy.

Anyway, bottom line – In Siberia, you’ll hear tales of tigers REMEMBERING who wounded them (humans) and then pursuing them for months, literally, stalking them.

Patience is a huge virtue the tiger has which seperates it from other big cats.

When it does choose to attack, it finishes EVERYTHING.

Nothing, not even hunting dogs in packs survive that brutal attack, yet, I chose the snake.

BLACK MAMBA!

I’ve lived by the cobra (as a kid there was a joke “no bra”) hehe mentality all my life.

The movie was a Stallone classic.

And when the snake strikes, a lot of times you dont just die instantly like with the tiger.

You SUFFER AND DIE.

And thats the bottom line, friend, now the snake, leave it alone, it will leave YOU alone too

Much like the tiger.

Mess with either of ’em, you’ve got Cain raining down on ya and then some.

And thats the new Rahul Mookerjee saying shortly about to be world famous, my friend, along with my “girlfriend”. Hehe.

Now, fitness wise, it might do y’all a world of good to MOVE like these animals.

The tiger walk and tiger crouch are DIFFERENT.

Both will whip you into shape fast if you can even get into position initially.

The snake crawl might not seem like a lot, but when you’re doing it and rearing up with abs and lower back alone, and when that lower back SCREAMS for mercy within a minute – you’ll know what I mean.

These, and other animal movements will get you fit as a fiddle – burn fat at record speeds, and most importantly , if you do it right,build your subconscious minds up to the point you will be able to uncannily attract almost any “prey” to you (goals) and DEVOUR ’em and get MORE – like those animals.

That friend, is truly that.

If you’re the reader, and if you’re SMART (if you’re not, then forget about it) – you’ll get Animal Kingdom Workouts now and learn the way of the animal, and how yours truly truly experiences “circumstances in my life far beyond what I even imagined or thought possible in a good way in my very very fertile imagination which manifests “in front of me as it were”.

Amazon delivery showing up between 2-4 today, and I can predict the doorbell too.

And thats that, my friend.

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – I have not received a price wanker complaint in a long, long time. Do send those in … Hehe.

Neither have I, despite literally begging people (some) – to – gotten a bad review.

Heck, I get it.

Even my haters acknowledge the guy’s knowledge is spot on, beyond comparision with anyone not just in the fitness world, but otherwise “the ether”.

But still, it’s fun to see those trollish wanker like reviews, Glyn, where are you when we need YOU. ????

(oh wait, he just created a new FB account with trolly pictures stolen from me. Hehe).

Hey, Bozo, at least choose the NAME sensibly ya know … LOL. Hilarious if nothing else.

More in the upcoming book Profit Troll, which again, any smart person must invest in NOW.

PS #2 and EDit.

I knew there was more to write. Sure enough, the MINUTE I published this, is the minute my producer David uploaded part of Squat 101 – the TIPS – which i even forgot to link up there, so I’ll do so NOW.

This will be HUGE!

The heavens DONE aligned.

Yes, done.

Talk about MANIFESTATION INSTANTLY.

Proof yet again.

Learn, grasshopper, learn.

If you so CHOOSE from the true, one and only MASTER at it. Theres a damn good reason they call me Gandhi, Jesus, and all those names long before I ever did any sort of business.

Close one door, another opens.
- Indeed, and quick

This year, I’ve taken my manifestations to a new level altogether as lots of you reading have noticed. (silently in some cases).

It all started, oddly enough last December when there was a palpable energy shift brought on by passing yet another challenge most people would flunk upon hearing.

My worst “enemies” posed this challenge, yet, once again, I passed it with flying colors. Hehe. Much to the annoyance of those who posed it!

Anyway – close one door – another opens, and my increased manifestation – which normally is intense enough THIS year – well, shall we just say it has also coincided with me blocking and deleting folks off list and life with GUSTO and aplomb.

Most would cringe with horror.

“In this economy, he should be bending backwards for us!”

I wont either, bro.

You’re either in or out, and I’ll hold the door in case you want to leave, or your ACTIONS, or lack thereof (i.e being a bump on a log on a list is not what I want on MY list – never doing much other than staring at the screen in “sh-news induced panic and torpor”) (and making idiotic excuses about being too old and such – fuck! Those that do, do at any age).

Quite literally, even in this new place I’m at, I’ve WALLED myself off like Paula said – physically too from most, not by choice, but it happened that way, now that it has, as the wife noticed “for the first time in his life he’s opening the back door to let fresh air in” – this from the A/C 24/7 monster which I’m still that way, dont get me wrong.

Literally, one door closes, the other opens.

IF you’ve got the will to shut the first permanently no matter how hard or painful that might be.

Lesson learnt for me over the past year or so, especially past few months, and this one is one most won’t learn their entire lives.

Anyway …

Zero to Hero! covers this INDIRECTLY in a section, the next Volume might cover these tips in greater detail.

First one is all about the start, and DOING the thing, which most people fail to.

Grab the book now, and write back with your thoughts and results!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – I first heard that saying in the Southern US “one door closes, the other opens”. Percie, I believe. Good man!

More on manifestation
- And ole burden, hehe.

Believe that, Burden – youll believe ANYTHING!

So said Vidal, the pygmy who was IMMENSELY powerful, those broad shoulders (I knew there was a reason I was looking up the Great Khali today, and .. well, the page led me to chokeslams, and “Vidal” (another wrestler) … and “Val Vader”, and…) …

… well, Val was the heroine of that book.

The hero was a badgered “Clay Burden” with a bitchy wife I can so relate to – him, in that regard.

I can relate to him leaving a stable job for a woman he DESIRED WITH ALL HIS HEART AND SOUL! (though I can’t relate to working jobs in the first place, hehe).

Anyway, in that book – Val was a fantastic worker at Clay’s travel agency that he fell in love with, but it was never requited, and he never lost his love for her.

Instead he married Rhonda, an utter … well, I dont know how to say it correctly, but a complete pain in the ass let’s say (Chase says the same too in the book, thats the story, so stop jumping on for demeaning women and other crap guys) …

… Then he accepts a job offer too good to be true to be with Val.

Except he finds out she’s (work wise) no longer the super efficient Val he knew, which leads him to despair and near ruin workwise.

He eventually hires a super professional “fat lady” as a typist, and she solves all the problems work wise.

End of the book, he finds out Val was using him, never really loved him (or the boy toy she was with) – and they both get tossed off a building by a Florida gale, while Burden saved the very life of the man he so detested, the man Val was “married to”.

And he gives him another chance, story goes on … (ends, like many of mine, “going on”).

Now, manifestation?

In my dreams “I” often show up as many things.

My wife.

My Dad.

Maybe even …. well, I wont go there, but I do !

And this strange occurence (I LOVED the novel, I’ve always kept it, its one of my favorite Chase Novels, I love ’em all – great writer!) – has happened after the house manifestation I spoke about, albeit in a way youd never think.

Wife hires one maid, she becomes my “girlfriend” (same thing in the book – Rhonda gets FURIOUS when she finds out about Val, in my case, well, wife’s furious internally, and a helper she once couldn’t stop praising highly enough suddenly becomes a sworn enemy!) … and then enter this other helper (this fascination women have with maids – so much for “women being each other best friends”, like the wife herself says, women are each other’s worst enemies) … whose as efficient and about as HEFTY (I wouldn’t want a blow!) as the typist Burden hires in the book.

She comes, does her thing, leaves – no drama, nothing, the other one comes, sways her hips, shows her lovely bodacious tits in those multicolored saris she so loves (and so do I, hey), her lovely legs, and chats up a storm, while .. well, not doing much at all in terms of work.

Whats a man to do, hehe.

Anyway.

I was thinking of that this morning, Burden’s name popped into mind.

Here I am, writing to you!

Yet another example.

Tom Toms and idiots reading this will claim “nothing related to fitness”.

Maybe not directly, but you can use these same techniques to manifest ANYTHING in life friend, fitness results included.

To find out more – Zero to… HERO! is your BABY.

Get it NOW, as even the reviewers reviewing it are saying!

Rahul Mookerjee

Does Rahul Mookerjee jump the gun?
- Hell yes! And I will continue to ..

One of the most misguided decisions I ever took back in the day after quitting Freddie’s job in 2005 – I think? was returning home to do an MBA I didnt really want.

I returned home to … well, see if things had changed.

Some things “at home”, wherever that is – will never change.

I’ve often scoffed at idiots who say “I’m not a patriot” for pointing out all that needs to change in a country.

I’m not? Huh?

Then why would I be pointing out the weak links in a chain which should have done been strengthened by now – no excuses ???

Boggles the mind, apparently to people (most of my family included) patriotism boils down to jingoism (a word certain Tom Tom’s hate me for using, hehe) (so i use it even more) … ie. “everything must be good or you dont love your country”.

Bullcrap.

True love is IMPROVING, my friend – becoming the best because you CAN – should – everyone can.

Anyway …

This MBA never manifested – no wonder huh? Especially after an idiot in the Southern part of India was it (one of the colleges I applied to was “Great Lakes College in India”) where a buffoon was officously lecturing me on “you have long hair! This is not the US!” and “I’ll kick you out of the class” (apparently he doesnt know Munna Bhai, hehe) – and “debates” were reduced to a shouting contest the females usually won while the male students just “listened”.

Pathetic.

Absolutely pathetic.  (and old codger’s response, well, he didnt like me the minute he saw me, all of this was prompted by what? Me stating an opinion on something which apparently in India students aren’t supposed to have …)

(far cry from putting feet up on desk back in college – ah, but I digress. LOL!)

Of course, when I told my parents about this they told me I was an idiot and should be glad “for the opportunity to travel there”.

Um, yes, boonies, well mom I stayed in a far more developed part of the boonies prior to that … Hehe. Which I manifested, and no-one was too glad about (me moving to china).

Anyway – I remember chatting with my Dad about “after the MBA, back to China”.

And he got irritated as usual.

“Your jumping the gun”.

This is why I can’t get along with my father, along with a host of other issues where literally there is not ONE common factor “binding us” (To the point my wife says “have you got your DNA checked” – I say “I need to, I even tell my customers that  – and they’re tongue tied”. Hehe).

Mother, well, at least the physical features match.

No wonder my close friends including a certain Roberto are brother from a different mother, LOL! (or was that the other way around).

This feeling has been replicated by my wife with whom back in the day I’d share my innermost thoughts, and I got a “ho hum” vibe i.e. “let it happen first”.

My wife’s the sort for whom, like my dad, mere faith wont move mountains – which is where I differ.

Faith and UNWAVERING BELIEF is what makes MIRACLES HAPPEN – literally fall out of the sky in some cases. That dont mean you follow the so called gurus telling you to “think it and it will manifest” – no – but from someone who can accurately manifest the TIME Amazon packages are delivered, someone whose dreams foretell the future, well, you better listen NOW, my friend if you so CHOOSE.

Look, would you believe it, even the current house I moved to (ugh!) was MANIFESTED by me in a manner most would think impossible, through sources completely NOT Related to me, and in a manner you’d never think it would happen.

But it did.

Right down to the shelves on the walls and the throne I sit on daily. Hehe.

Claude Bristol writes about this in the Magic of Believing, where he writes about people using the Law of attraction CORRECTLY (the power of the subconscious mind) and “once your set your mind to it, the subconscious mind goes to work. This house may come to you in a variety of different ways, including sources not from you – but do you really care HOW it happens, so long as it does happen?”

I dont care, my friend.

And it happened – one man’s thought processes influencing an entire household.

That ain’t just me saying it – my employees – and those I work with – will also tell you this.

Thats how leadership works – leaders motivate, inspire, influence, and manifest in this manner, friend.

Jumping the gun?

Only an idiot would say that.

And idiot’s own results in life show.

(overall).

I mean, you have to picture the end goal first, and keep doing it with burning intensity, if you never see those nine figures in your bank account, you’ll never get there – you’ll be stuck with people like my mom who when I got excited about MONEY coming in from my very first job, she went “work first!’

Well, duh mom – of course work first.

But that pot of gold motivates like no other.

“You have this ambition to become RICH!” my Dad once told me at the age of 24.

He never told me how to get there, perhaps because he himself never did, so I had to figure it out, and did.

Point is this.

It starts with the end goal in mind FIRST my friend.

If you ain’t got a goal – one you picture with passion and deep emotion with every fiber of your BEING DAILY day in and day out – then chances are it will never ever HAPPEN!

Chances also are excellent and second to none you’ll be stuck in a life of mediocrity and drudgery your entire life, angrily barking at folks who want – and get – a better life “who does he think he is”.

Hehe.

Sure, people may not say that – but thats what they THINK inside (hence all the idiots that follow me to troll me. Hehe. Which I welcome, of course – more on that in Profit Troll).

Point, again –

You have to picture it first.

You have to BE the thing first before you TAKE the actions (and yes, without action nothing moves).

You have to DO the thing first, often passing many difficult tests, but that point only comes after you VISUALIZE the END goal with deep passion and conviction!

Without the first step which people call “jumping the gun” – NOTHING MOVES!

And that, friend, applies to fitness too.

SEE yourself doing a 100 pushups a day and feel it while you’re doing only 10 a day (David, if you’re reading! ).

See yourself climbing hills before you get in the shape to do so or while you DO.

Picture yourself being whatever it is you want with deep passion – before you’re actual there.

This don’t mean you pretend – no.

It means you’re already there in your own mind and then you get there in reality – with all the other attributes I write about so much.

Zero to Hero! Narrated by Terrence, who I want to chat with again – another brother from a different mother – explains these principles in depth.

The videos along with it do so too – must grab.

But the CRUX is explained, like in Think and Grow Rich, in the INITIAL few – the prologue of the book.

Those that get it will understand rightaway, those that dont, well, like Napoleon Hill said in Think and Grow Rich (am I him reborn – seems like it!) – …

“I could tell you what it is, but you’d be deprived of the BENEFITS youd get by making the discovery for yourself”.

So true, my friend, so true.

Spoonfeeding never works, and I’ve never done it, neither will I ever.

I can show you the way – but YOU have to get there.

And thats that.

Back soon.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Interesting how we manifest, most of ALL my followers, even the haters, have families they don’t quite get along with, especially the “fathers” or “step” fathers, as the case might be.

We truly attract based upon our KIND.

Bear this in mind as you go about your day, pay attention to your thoughts and vibes too, friend, because they are ultimately what will get from ZERO … to HERO! 

No, nothing “new age” about any of this. These are all scientifically proven principles that have stood the test of Father Time.

Oh, the MBA?

Well, a book is “half written” on a certain Madam Vandana on it …Hehe. More later! Old codger isn’t mentioned – yet. The cougar is though! 😉

The lesson my little girl learned about VALUE
- Yet again

Last night, I was looking up a topic I’m pretty much close to expert status on, yet keep learning anyway – why are hardcover books more expensive than paperback?

I found all the right answers, exactly what I thought, what I KNOW!

OF course, there is a reason thoughts pop into my brain – and dreams happen.

I predicted things right right down to “a’s” feelings about a book – hehe – and so this afternoon, walking her back from school, she asked me this.

“Dad, why are hardcovers more expensive than paperbacks” – and this question was preceded by “Dad, how much do your books cost?”

The former question was answered by a question from me “why – did someone ask?”

Can’t never tell these days – anyone, no-one did, so I told her.

Then latter question, I told her – hard cover, better quality paper, lasts for a hell of a lot longer, and the “feel” of the book which is the most important and you cannot put a price tag on it, even more important, the VALUE the books deliver.

Now, she asked me estimates in USD – as well as INR which is the currency she is used to, therefore, (and in the future, we’ll sell directly in your currency too – stay tuned for that! For now, all in USD – but you’ll see local prices soon in CAD, EUR etc depending upon choice) (dont know about INR though) … I told her.

Naturally, the “figures” seem a lot larger when you convert to INR – or JPY, hehe.

“I would never buy it, Dad!”she giggled. “It would empty my account”.

But some people will, I told her.

I then told her how I earned a tidy bit from selling THREE – yes, just three books on ONE platform – pretty much paid all my bills for the month with the royalties from those.

People want VALUE is what I said – and smart people with money will pay for it.

“Look at the Wings of Fire books you so WANTED”, I then said.

Those books cost me a fortune.

“Right”, she chimed in. I wouldn’t buy them if they were cheap, even though there’s plenty of cheap books out there!

Hehe.

We then ended the discussion “Dad, lets stop, Mom will hear us” (what she means is the meaningless yelling that goes on at home from “Mom and Granny” anytime Dad attempts to teach his daughter something about real life as opposed to the Nazi feminist crap being shoved down her throats which she, as I tell her, and she does, takes it through one ear, out the other).

(she knows there ain’t no point beating that head against a brick wall)

My daughter gets it – always has (as she gave me an example of how some Tintin books cost a bomb, especially by Indian “standards”. (which I’ve always found funny, when people get back to me with crap about “its too expensive for us Indians” I point out their iphones and other junk they happily pay a fortune for, much like in the US people pay a friggin fortune for crap like Netflix and complain about other things) …

Tin Tin books sell like hot cakes in India, so there goes “price”. Kids are a perfect example of “want = GET eventually”.

(and no, to those asking, prices wont go down to “suit Indian tastes” either or any other nationality, they are what they are, they will remain what they are, if anything some of them are fixing to go up – yes, YET AGAIN. Yikes! But hey, Im givng you advance notice so you can’t blame me for that at least).

Its about VALUE, my friend, UNPARALLELED value you get from my books – and something people really, really want deep down inside and cannot find in an authentic genuine form anywhere else.

If someone truly wants something, they’ll move heaven and earth to get it, price or not not withstanding. And thats the sort of people I sell to, and focus upon – the DOERS in life, not the whiners and moaners.

Cut it any way you like – thats how it works. Life, successful sales, all of it.

And thats a lesson a lot of nutjobs out there and price wankers need to learn, come to think of it they wouldnt learn if SHOWN how to learn. Hehe.

And thats that – pick up some “reassuringly expensive products” as John Walker so rightly and adroitly once put it (citing the example of Stella Artois) …

Best,

Rahul Mookerje

Ps – I dont know who needs to hear this, but with all the stuff about “dont break down, uplift, if A is reading this – here is the advice I gave a young girl – lets call her “Madam Nym” today – she’s grieving, it wasn’t the first time she’s in a bad mood and it shows in her otherwise excellent moood” …

and excellent work.

Hi Princess,

Just sending this over since it may help as a guide of sorts – although you likely already know it in theory, I do think it would help for someone to spell it out (if you’re on twitter let me know – Ill be happy to do “voice” notes sometimes for this sort of thing) (I’m https://twitter.com/0xcusesfitness …)

It can be hard to just “stop grieving” (well, or “not be in the not so ideal frame of mind” which is the right way to put it in your case I guess) – but business wise, we have to be “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” – and especially when doing something creative – Mr Hyde must come out. Haha.

Take a few minutes to yourself, preferably in a dark room *yes, just a few minutes, you dont need all day for this*, close your eyes, relax – and SWITCH the mind to something – and picture it deeply – either erotic or fun, or both, or interesting – what have you – anything that makes you intensely happy (despite your personal loss right now).

Focus on that for a few mins, you’ll instantly feel your mind – and mood – and vibes LIFT.

Get up, do something different (maybe eat an ice cream, take a walk, I dont know, hehe) – and once the mind is calm and settled, do the work.

And thats it, sounds complicated, but it really isnt!

I apologize if you already knew this -but sometimes it helps to hear it, and just sending it along “in case it might help”, not just with our projects together but in “life” in general. **** is a rather aged *** hehe, and *** learnt SOME things as *** “goes along” – LOL (though this one, I always did it on auto pilot).

Cheers!!

Rahul

So you see, mi amigo, plenty of cheering up and uplifting going on for those that deserve it, she does …

And no, I aint tellin ya what the “stars” represent. Lets just say – ah, I’ll keep MUM for now. ????

PS #2 –

I shall send you the book changed the next Tuesday.
and I shall tell you what did I write different in the text.
If you have not any requests from me. It is all for now.
Do not worry if I do not say you anything in the meantime. Because
when I begin an enterprise I have not any contact with the exterior.
I am in my private castle. I think you understand what I mean.
Greetings and a kiss on the cheek if you give me permission, but if not,
then only in the imagination world.

Paula, you have it so spot on, Countess! Hehe. And she does…

Habib used the N word one too many times…
- Or did he? Hehe.

OK, so first off – what I’m going to talk about here – you guys reading this – please read THIS piece first.

Once you have, well, progressing on from there, and keeping in tune with my mantra of “honest feedback” above all (including to yours truly when needed – that ass kicking I Got from John Walker on my birthday, I will NEVER forget it, I will CHERISH it forever as one of the best, if not THE best gift I got – his challenge, and that motivated me to new levels of health and fitness and ACHIEVEMENT which is evident today) …

… well, a bit of a recap on that – I wasn’t in poor shape – but I was GETTING out of shape – no excuses, and bottom line – John noticed I was slipping from my “bodyweight exercise Guru” high standards, and called me out – and was FAIR about it “with your work ethic I think 2022 will be your best year yet!”

It was – and 2023 is even better, and we’re not even halfway through it!

Thank you sir!

And in line with that I asked “A” for a review anyway.

Here is what he said – part of it –

Hey Rahul,
I will try to write more later as I’m tight on time.
But, there were a lot of things. It started with you calling black people “nikkas” . I looked up the word with that spelling and I realize that word can have different meanings in different countries, but, in America anything close to that sound when referring to black people is going to sound racist. Regardless of intention. And especially from a white male’s voice. But with the different meanings, I looked passed that. You then referred to anyone who disagrees with you as stupid, fat or worse. Every time you mentioned females it was derogatory, even when saying that would could work out too, you still made sure to get your jabs in. You referred to many of your readers as stupid and said their questions were stupid. You refer to anyone who is overweight as fat and lazy, ignoring any kind of health or mental conditions that could be leading to the weight. You stop mid-thought to demean an entire subgroup of people (lgbtq) that have nothing to do with you or what you were talking about.

I’m not trying to be rude.You asked me for these details, Rahul. Do you see how negative this sounds and feels? Do you really want me to leave a review about how this author can’t stop berating his readers for long enough to make a point?

This feels aggressive. I’m mean these words in a very professional way. I am in no way trying to put you down. I think much of what you say is relatable otherwise and you’d have some great stuff if you just left out the negative. And you’d probably gain (and keep) a lot more readers if you shifted your focus that way. It doesn’t all have to be positive and happy go lucky. Just leave out the parts where you may be demeaning other people and you’ve got a solid product.

Those are my feelings, Rahul. You tell me if you’d like them in a review.

And, if you still feel like writing a testimonial and sending it to me, I’d appreciate that.
Actually, I’ve never done that myself. And, if it benefits you I’ll do the same for you. You have been great to work with, despite the end result.

Getting back to work

I wonder if thats enough for the Bozos who keep whining about “he only wants 5 star reviews” and “deletes anything he doesnt agree with”.

First thing you know I can’t delete anything off Amazon anyway – neither would I want to, some monuments to dumbassery MUST STAND – hence Glyn the paedo’s idiotic “Bozo” comments on books he never read and wouldn’t process through his pea brain even if he did – they still remain. (though those comments are abuse, and I could have reported them to Amazon and got them taken down – I mean, think about it – speaking of “womanizing” and stuff – not that Bozo could do any womanizing himself or herself…) …

Anyway – my response –

Hey <chopped>,

Thank you for getting back to me.

Yes, you can write all of that (except maybe in “concise format – hehe”) but do mention the POSITIVES of the book as well – i.e. mention BOTH sides of the story. And when you mention the negatives, be factual i.e. paste the part of the statement which you “took offense” with – so that way, those reading the review have an UNBIASED view of the book i.e they can see the statement, and make their own judgements, which I think is the best and most fair manner my friend.

A review should be an UNBIASED (ideally, at least) review in terms of FACTS – and it should mention BOTH sides of the story. So, perhaps a reader did not like the author’s style – or took offense with the way certain things were explained – but like yor yourself said, the author’s KNOWLEDGE cannot be faulted/debated for the most part and there’s still a lot to learn from it – I think you get my point.

Now emotion, you cannot fake that, by all means put in how YOU felt, but some people just “vilify” the author just to be an ass, and thats the sort of review I call out and mock because those reviews have no factual basis. If a review has FACTUAL basis along with emotion then that review is taken seriously (assuming the reader has half a brain, haha) – and can be debated, and that is the sort of review I want, so yes, be factual, and remove the “anger” (or “distaste”) while writing – that’s all I want, but if that sort of thing might not be possible, I completely understand my friend.

(I mean, this thing is getting so complicated – so if it’s too much trouble to do, no issues – the review isnt THAT important! Haha. I just want to be fair and stick to my mantra of “honest feedback”, so I brought it up).

Let me know if that works, now I understand what you’re saying about using “nikka” as a white male sounding “off” – but it really shouldn’t, haha. First thing you know, black people call each other that all the time (in America) – second, and you can verify this with any black person (again, in the US) “nigger” is racist, yes – “nikka” is not looked upon as such. I realize that can be contentious especially coming from a “white male” as you say, hehe – but remember I’m a “Heinz 57” and have been called everything from Jesus to Habib (the last by black people when I was in school, LOL – all in good fun!) “sandy nikka” my white friend from Italy once called me, and to me it was funny and nothing else .. (Italian origin).

As far as other countries are concerned, a lot of people in other countries have very derogatory thoughts about black people – go to China, you’ll see, perhaps India as well. Its sad, but it is what it is I guess . . . but the word “nikka” is not really that well understood outside North America, best not to use it outside that “area” as it were, as people will likely confuse it with “nigger”.

I dont think you’re being rude at all my friend, I’m extremely thick skinned (though I wasn’t always that way) – the only things I cannot and will not tolerate, and I advocate the death penalty for folks like that – paedophilia (there’s a troll on the site “Glyn” into that – ugh) and (depending upon circumstance) rape. Other than that, I’m probably one of of the most thick skinned folks you’ll meet, no worries there my friend, “I’m a big boy” as they say – and if you dish it out, you should be able to take it FIRST if you get my drift. Haha.

I dont think this (what you’re saying) comes across as aggressive my friend, I asked you – haha – you responded, all good there. Yes, I’ll be happy to do up a testimonial for you if you need it – let me know!

And thats that, my brother – back to it! 🙂

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

And that surely is THAT.

Look for some “fun” coming up shortly. I Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one – but this guy to be honest and fair is an outstanding citizen, and no matter what he writes (though I suspect he will be UNBIASED in his review) – I will not tear it apart in a Schofield manner – I will respond with LOGIC and facts, which no-one under the sun can debate or doubt.

And thats that.

Back soon!

PS – Geez that wheel is taking too long to come full circle!!

“One of the most inspirational and motivating books I’ve ever read! “
- And it is - thank you John !

John Eaton recently left us a superlative review on Fitness Central – Volume Two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome advice and terrific tips!

One of the most inspirational and motivating books I’ve ever read! Just starting out onyour fitness journey? This book will challenge you and motivate you to get up, get out and get going!

Rahul takes you along his own “been there, done that” journey and relates directly to the fitness struggles you’re probably facing right now. Even as an experienced “gym rat” myself, I learned a few new tricks to help boost my own performance.

Three words: GET THIS NOW!!!

Hehe – I seem to have influenced more than a few people with the “GET IT NOW!”

But really, time waits for no-one and putting stuff off – well, that just dont work my friend (hence the massive cull in the list of do nothings, whiners, and excuses makers).

Anyway … I could end this here, but lest you think (again) – I only tell you the good – no I dont, I tell you the good, bad and the ugly and everything else too. Open book!

Anyway, an outstanding citizen sent me this email –

Rahul,
Hi Rahul. I wanted to reach out and touch base with you as I have come to the conclusion that I cannot, in good conscience, record this book for you. You make a lot of comments that I am uncomfortable with. About, sex, weight, race, sexual preference and orientation. I don’t fit into any of the categories you have singled out, yet I am still offended by the language and views you have shared. I tried to work around it, but at the end of the day, it comes to integrity. I don’t share these views, and I don’t want my voice, name, or business to be associated with these views. I hope you understand.

Now, as this will not be recorded by me, we need to dissolve our contract. I am sending a request with this email to <chopped> to request to be dissolved. You will need to do the same if you want this to be recorded by someone else.

Please send your request to dissolve our contract to CHOPPED and they will begin the process.

On a personal level, you seem like a good guy outisde of these issues and you mean well, and I can relate to many of the other things you talk about. But i can hope you see that EVERYONE, fat, skinny, fit, male, female, no sexual orientation, any racial denomination or voter background, are not only the same as you and me, but also equal to us, as well. And, I hope you stop spreading the message that we are not all equal, or that just because people don’t live like you or i do, or want them to, that they’re “stupid” or “bad or a “lower quality of people”. If we are all the same the earth becomes very boring very quickly, my man! We NEED the differences people bring in order to achieve our collective goals for humanity!

Have a good day Rahul!
<name chopped>

We’ll call him “A” but basically he was going to narrate Pushup Central – the TIPS!

I doubt that book has anything of the nature he;s mentioned, so I think it’s mostly our writing here. Hehe. I also suspect a woman has more than something to do with this, but of course, yours truly cannot confirm, and hasn’t asked. I dont say that is a fact, no, but I can feel these things from a mile away … ????

Now, you might think I’m going to call him out, troll him, and so forth.

Nah. He was HONEST, and thats what counts, he didnt make any excuses, he got to the point – whether or not I agree is a different story, but you can feel the honesty coming off his words, and that I have to DOFF MY HAT to – and respect.

Plus, dude’s a great narrator!

Yours truly –

(and he’ll probably be surprised flames weren’t shooting out of it – hehe)

Hi Buddy,

Thanks for the honest feedback/email – I appreciate it! I can understand being offended by some of my views – most people – in fact all, either hate me with a passion or love me with the same “ardor” – there is never any in between, thats always how I’ve been – haha. My views do tend to be brutally abrasive, and thats fine – although I’m not sure where I spoke about race in a derogatory manner, I can understand not wanting to be associated with (from your standpoint) some of the other stuff I say – hehe. (I stand by it 100% though, but at the same time, I can see where you’re coming from my friend).

W.r.t the sexual orientation thing, what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms is their own business. We all, myself INCLUDED have “those hidden desires” that we want to act upon (some like me do, hehe). But when it comes to nonsense like transgender athletes whining about being allowed to compete in women’s sports competitions, kids as young as 4 being exposed to “if you dont feel comfortable in your body then say it” – then I really think we as a society have gone WAY too far (ditto for the moaning and groaning about body shaming – results are what count, while no-one should poke fun at someone intentionally, if that person doesnt acknowledge facts at the very least – then TOUGH love is the way to go … ).

Anyway – I get it my friend! I dont think in this case I’ll need to write to (chopped), but I’ll do so – no problems, and I’ll mention the reason you mentioned to me ie. “not comfortable with the content of the book”.

From a personal standpoint my opinion of you remains unchanged “outstanding citizen”.

And I’ll be happy to provide a review for you in terms of your superb work for the last book if you so choose, that is why I chose you for this one!

Best – and onward – and upward!! 🙂

Rahul Mookerjee

And that, friend, truly is THAT. The good, bad, ugly, motivating, and all in between – all an open book!

I’ve never quite understood how the “my way or the highway” of the other side (examples mentioned bove) or nuts like Glyn posting people’s kids pictures online in a lasviscious manner get away scot free – while yours truly “offends” for calling it out – I guess thats the society we live in today. Ugh.

A woman, or maybe my political views played a part in this (especially given he loved our stuff before). Hehe. So be it !

Fear not – the wheel IS coming full circle!

And back to open books –

Get you some NOW.

Yes, NOW!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

Strengthen the fingers, strengthen the knuckles…
- An old truism

Martial artists, boxers, wrestlers, they’re all huge on this – especially the former.

To GRAB someone – to throw someone – you need a strong grip.

To Punch someone, it comes from the core yes, the swivel, but the end point of impact cannot be weak my friend.

Those mitts need to be strengthened, and the knuckles too.

You’ll often see martial artists doing what I do – fingertip pushups on hard cement or other hard, unforgiving surfaces or striking wood etc till their knuckles bleed.

My own training these days consists of getting in the splits and throwing punches against a solid oak bedstand.

“Good thing brick dont hit back”, I still remember ole “Chong Li” chortling.

Hehe.

True.

But it PREPARES you for someone that can hit back in terms of conditioning.

Bear in mind this is not for the uninitiated and needs to be done right.

You strike with not your knuckle direct, but the area between your knuckle and the second knuckle.

Fingertip pushups are done with fingers slightly BENT!

Often times, I’ll slam my fingers into the cement that way imagining I’m tearing it apart.

Or, breaking the cement.

It hasn’t happened – as yet.

Yet, it will soon – I can feel it.

Now, what does this mean for you – the average Joe or Jane that doesn’t really want or need that level of elite strength?

Well, not want is one thing.

But it will always help you. Lifting odd object around the house, opening hard to open cans, giving massages to your SO (hehe) – and so on and so forth. You can never have fingers that are too strong, my friend, or “waste” a strong grip – that is a fact as clear as daylight.

And thats that!

back soon.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – If you’ve seen Van Damme in one of the Kickboxer movies practising shin kicks against an oak tree till he couldn’t walk circa the Gama at the age of 9 doing squats for hours till he couldn’t walk (was bedridden for a week reportedly after) well in the old days, thats precisely how they toughened up!

You dont have to go to those extremes, but go close, EXPAND your potential – slowly!

And thats that.

You’ll be surprised at what happens if you do!

PS #2 – This tip is NOT mentioned in Pushup CEntral, or in Pushup Central – the TIPS – another freebie for those on the list.

though, I can see book #2 on tips writing itself. Hehe. Anyway book #2 on SQUATS FIRST!

360 degree “tiger claw” pushups
- MAN!

This is a tip that I’m writing – just after moving a heavy  circular object made of glass – something I could barely budge on my lonesome back in the day, today, I just picked it up like it was nothing – with my fingertips alone “holding it” – no muscle seemingly even required.

I was thinking fingertip pushups, Bruce Lee – before that – how he literally put each inch of his fiber, his very being into those fingertip pushups he so religiously cranked out, any wonder he was the BEST by far?

Not just at those, but every type of pushup, and he learnt till the day he passed.

I’m no different.

And no surprise I cracked off 25 perfect fingertip pushups post this, except they were more than perfect.

They were letter perfect.

Look, I’ll give you two tips here instead of one which if you’re lucky enough to still be on the list you’ll get in your mailbox.

One, 360 degree pushups but the second is more important.

Neither mentioned in Pushup Central, or Pushup Central – the TIPS! So this is a freebie for those on the list, a most valuable one at that.

Second tip – when you’re doing fingertip pushups maintain proper form, focus and breathing yes, but it goes beyond that.

Dont be content to do ’em in just perfect form.

Really SPREAD the fingers, DIG them into the ground.

If you watch martial artists and wrestler’s “grab” folks by their fingertips, and literally in some cases impart so much energy into that grab they tear chunks of FLESH off – rip muscle apart – well, you’ll get what I mean.

TIGER CLAW!

Imagine you’re a tiger while doing these.

And really IMAGINE perfect form when doing ’em, imagine the back expanding and contracting, dig deeper with each rep, really SQUEEZE with the fingers, press into the ground, even if it’s hard cement like I do ’em on.

You’ll find this to be an immensely useful tip for most type of pushups, but it applies even more so to the fingertip press -up.

Back to 360 degrees, theres a wide variety of ways these can be done in .

One, you can move around while doing them – this is mentioned in “Profound 70% Human 30% Gorilla Handstands“.

Move in a circle, because life always comes full circle as I like to say, and its true – but you can do ’em in a star or any other position you so choose.

Keep moving around during a set, or do sets in different positions until you make up a circle.

I’ve found the best way to do these though is with your FINGERS or palms moving in a 360 direction as you do reps.

Realize this, and trust me later, a slight change in the way your fingers are positioned turns the exercise into a completely different and far more productive and tougher exercise.

You’ll see when you do ’em.

Be very careful when you do some of them, as I tell you in Pushup Central, and thats that, 95 pushups and 10 pull-ups in already, I am just … buzzing!

Back soon.

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Look at Lee’s focus – you can FEEL it through that grainy pic!

Really imagine you’re TEARING someone’s abdomen apart as you do these – figuratively, of course. These build UNHEARD of strength, my friend – ask any martial artist!
