Oddly enough, or maybe not – its the pull-up I teach as a basic, staple pull-up EVERYONE should be able to do at least 3-5 reps of in proper form, slow and steady, thick grips, chin over bar.
Thats the short of it, at least – no pun intended.
The way you see the pull-up mangled, people not going even halfway up, people kipping, then the Marjorie Taylor Greene “butterfly pull-up” (wtf was that MJT – I’m an admirer of your politics, your pull-ups, not so much, hehe – unless you did that for “gureilla marketing purposes” as it were) …
Anyway the long of it – lets get to that now – this afternoon, lots of fun working out – both at home, and outside.
At home was the “warmup” which turned into almost a 100 pushups and lot more – the actual workout later, jumping rope, more pushups, 40 pull-ups and splits – all of it filmed on … LIVESTREAM!
Boy, for a guy who said he hated videos and I really don’t love ’em that much now either – we’re sure picking up speed there!
Livestreaming came across as a result of several factors, I’ll get into those later.
But I did notice it was a lot of fun, it also saves a lot of space on my phone (which I really need to buy a new one, my cranky ass refuses to unless I really “need to” though – much like Jeff Bezos driving a beat down Honda well on his way to a million or billion dollars in the bank/stock “it’s a perfectly good phone – so long as you attach an external battery to it”. Hehe). .
. . .and, despite hordes of people running around the park today, was a national holiday and apparently “Tambola” or “Bingo” day at the park, all the ladies, husbands and a gaggle of highly paid maids out there with bratty kids (lottery in English) – and tons staring as I did my thang, I felt oddly calm when livestreaming.
I can’t explain it, maybe I feel more like I’m talking to the people there on my livestream – same thing with videos, but it’s different, I can’t explain it
Anyway, while approaching the pull-up part of my workout I saw a dude out there doing pull-ups – pushups, and so forth.
One thing I noticed, he was doing them in sets of 10 or so, but his “rest” which you shouldn’t really need unless you’re going slow, slow, slow and perfect attention to form which he wasn’t doing – but his overall form was pretty good nonetheless – but the rest, he’d rest in the downward dog position which so many people do while doing pushups, then do more reps.
I dont do that, as I explained in my livestream today.
You CAN do it- no doubt it gives you more reps, since it takes the pressure off the arms and shoulders.
My rest is done in the top position of the pushup, just holding, as I find it fires the muscles up far more and keeps the pressure on them anyway – as opposed to the downward dog position which my friend from the Marines – his “cohort” in the Marines that once did 150 pushups “close grip” in one set rested that way, so people do it like that – but I think – I know – its FAR better to rest in the plank position than otherwise, since you get a workout while “Resting” too.
I can hear Vincent say, almost “Your way is better, yes!” – but there’s tons of ways to do’em!
Hes right. Hehe.
I miss you, bro. One of the very few people I can say that about … we’ve been through a lot, cold beers and such accompanying us everywhere too. Hehe.
Anyway – that aside, pull-ups, the guy was doing some pretty decent hammer grip pull-ups, pulling his chin over the bar as well, maybe not doing the dead hang ALL the way down, but pretty damn close – good job.
His overall physique though – man, he wasn’t quite “pelican legs” – but them legs needed some serious, serious work!
A LOT more pushups and squats, I was thinking, but he was in pretty good shape it seemed otherwise, but pull-ups – he wasn’t doing a single one of the ones I was.
He DID do some horizontal pull-ups on the dipping bars, great way to work up to regular pull-ups, but again, the sort of pull-up you see nary anyone doing?
Thick bar pull-ups, regular grip, slightly wider than shoulder width, all the way up, chin over, pause, all the way down, pause, back up.
AND THE PRONATED GRIP – NOT SUPINATED!!
These are the bread and butter of MY pull-up routines, my friend, and the results are there for ALL to see.
Not saying chin-ups or hammer grip pull-up are worthless – no – but the former is somewhat of an unnatural movement as I’ve said (think about it – how many times in real life do you grip like that?) – and puts excess strain on the elbows – the second is good, but an EASIER variant of the pull-up.
Even then, you cannot ignore the regular pull-up -no way, Jose.
Grip wise, I see virtually NO-one using their thumb – or thick bars.
Both cardinal “errors” in terms of building a rugged cast iron grip and a strong – super strong – upper body in general.
Believe me, working with thick bars or their home equivalent the “thick grips” (which aren’t the same, not as tough, but still a damn good alternative) work far more than the grip. You’ll feel your entire upper body fire MORE if you do sets of pull-ups on thick bars in good form than you would otherwise on regular pull-up stands, doorway chinning bars or what not (and doorway bars are great for focus on form by the way – limited space really forces you to focus more on FORM!).
This forms the baseline of exercises mentioned in Gorilla Grip, Gorilla Grip (ADVANCED!) – and Gorilla Grip TIPS ie. what I mentioned above, EVERY exercise damn near in that book will have that concept mentioned in it.
Anyway … the advanced book on pull-ups shows you how to get CARDIO in with pull-ups too – something most people dont associated with this exercise, but oh yeah – pull-ups will get the lungs pumping big time if you do it right…
My next plan is to work in pull-ups and other exercises into the livestreaming too – so long as I can figure out how to get people away from the swing set … Heh.
We’ll see how it goes, but all fun and games, and great workouts today.
So many videos, all on the channel. Enjoy – lots more to come!
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
P.S. – Write back – let me know what you guys want to see next!
See what makes it different, I can predict myself saying – either to myself – or to YOU.
Workout wise, those of you that are hitting it hard day after day, silent doers, day in and day out, without a break – well, you know what I mean.
Beyond a certain point, you just go out there and DO.
Within a certain set of principles, core routines, exercises – whatever it is – the key to continuous improvement – or ONE Of them – is this – make each workout different – tougher in SOME way – and therefore hit your body differently – and therefore a more productive workout in SOME manner.
If you do it right, often times you’ll see its hard to plan for such things.
As you DO, the different comes into play.
I had no idea anything like archer pushups even existed, yet, once I started to DO them – some workouts they became the mainstay of my routine.
Ditto for the current workhorse of my pushup routine – the floor humper – Jack La Lanne pushup – whatever you call it. Until I saw a picture of La Lanne doing it, I believe in 2007 – I never really paid much attention to it at all (big mistake).
Some of you have written back to me with an interesting request!
That being, film some of my live workouts – for you.
Which I might well do very soon – I might well do starting TODAY.
I’ll see how the live streaming etc works, but for a guy that “hated videos” – and I did – sure been a 180 degree change eh – I’m ENJOYING them – every minute of them – now!
And so are you ,based upon feedback, which is great.
So the workouts, well, there’s plenty already there on the channel, but I’m going to take you through what I do “daily”.
i.e. no frills, fancies, and I’ll show you everything I do – which means pausing in the middle of a workout and changing the idea of doing regular pushup #120 to doing one arm floor humpers #120. Hehe.
ALL of it.
Lots more to come, stay tuned.
(as for why? Well, sometimes it’s important to show you EXACTLY how I do things DAILY – replete with all the minor nuances, annoyances etc – while filming specifically for products, its a different sort of workout than the “run of the mill” workouts I do daily – by the way, thats a WRONG choice of word, but you get my drift – its those workouts that really deliver results, both for me – and for you).
From a TV star to a live streaming personality? Hehe …
Anyway, stay tuned as I said.
In the meantime, remember Pushup Central is the one course every serious fitness trainee – along with 0 Excuses Fitness – simply must have on their bookshelf, virtual or physical – no exceptions.
And if you haven’t yet gotten the above two books, and Squat 101for that matter, and claim to be serious about fitness – well, get them NOW.
Make no mistake about it, my friend – I trained today, and trained hard – but not nearly as hard as I go everyday.
Hard enough though – and given the park was damn near empty for a change, all chronicled on video too – youd think it would be the perfect day to hit it SUPER HARD -yet, ’twas one of those days where doing even one pushup felt like a chore, so “sore” was I – I know it rhymes, no pun intended.
Much like I told my daughter whose wanting to watch Republic Day (in India) parades tomorrow, well, “I dont mean to rain on your parade” I said – pun intended, because it might well RAIN here tomorrow for all we know.
Anyway, these days will happen, especially for those of you that do what I do, between 300-500 pushups daily, between 70-100 pull-ups – and a lot more (clubs, sprints, jogs, rope jumping and such).
And you’d think it would be a day for isometrics, yet, oddly enough, that made up part of the day.
What I really did today was Animal Kingdom Workoutmovements – the basics, yet the staples even in that book, amongst all the other great 68 animal movements I put in there – these being the FROG jump – and the BEAR crawl.
I was thinking of hammering out alligator crawls too – maybe next time.
And I put out a great little “killing two birds with one stone” here –
And then here –
And then I put out some more thoughts … on the economy, first off here –
(this one is sure to ruffle many feathers, but all I say is spot on true, so all I can say is dont watch either if you a) believe in only ONE way to pronounce a word, hehe – or b) are a Mama’s boy or “suck off the government teat” sort of easily offended person … )
I’m sure I’ll be back to high rep tomorrow, for today, the wife told my daughter “well the day is young, get him to finish his pushups and pull-ups in the evening!”
Daughter needed no second invites, of course.
“dad! INstantly after lunch, hurry up – dont dwadle – a 1000 pushups and 10,000 pull-ups!”
“Get to it, Dad!”
Hehe…. She almost said “chop chop” did the Little Princess!
That she can even think of such numbers when it comes to workouts – well, she sees high reps in front of her daily damn near, so …
And thats the sort of example you need to be setting to your kids, my friend, not the lazy fat entitled “sofa to potty” workout types or two minute Tok Tik nonsense or such …
Alright, got that off my chest.
Back soon.
Best
Rahul Mookerjee
PS – Remember, pick up the 0 Excuses Fitness System NOW if you have not already. Truly the quickest way to whip your ass into shape starting TODAY.
I wrote this once on the other site in 2020 I believe, and the time has come now to say it here. I woke up this morning, and while my thoughts are usually occupied with anything but business first thing in the morning (not necessarily workouts either for those of you wondering) – this one is being written without me even being awake fully – or fully awake, is it ? “Thats how we are”, hehe.
Anyway, that aside, and first off – if you’re a real DOER, the silent and sturdy sort that goes about their own business – not interfering with what others do – silently buying products, USING the info in them to BETTER – I repeat, BETTER – your own, I repeat YOUR OWN life – without trolling those that have made it or are making it “out of sheer impotency and jealousy” – then this isn’t aimed at you – but there is a bit in the PS that IS aimed at you.
This, and I’m typing slowly here because it’s a dark room, I cannot locate my glasses – hence the long paragraphs on this one, maybe …
… is aimed at the fat trolls, the losers that have never been out of Kansas, fat boys wannabe who haunt this site – my every move – despite me running in the opposite direction at the mere sight of them – despite me blocking them roundly everywhere, the fools that find a way to come back (truly, thats proof of the REAL Law of Attraction – that which you run way from truly does CHASE YOU!) – the nutjobs writing in about “how I look like a movie star“, “I have a sexy hair chest” – “why I dont wear red all the time” (goddamn, I thought that was women that the clothes comments were reserved for, not a cranky dude who wears like a choice of three to five sweatshirts rotated logically between days) or “I look like a TV personality” …and losers in general that hang on to my every word – not to listen to me and improve their own lot in life, but to talk about what I say, what I do, indeed, what I eat (a recent idiot wrote back about how “the meat should be arranged differently on the all meats platter” – like wtf??? This w.r.t the brief “all meats” video I posted a while back) – and I wouldn’t be surprised if these ass clown follow me to the bathroom in their dreams too (I know Glyn does). Ugh.
Externally, a lot of these nimrods pretend to have a life, when they’re called out on not having one, they troll me – since that is all they can do.
I welcome it x 10 – since I make lots of sales off it using the methods described in Profit Troll.
I welcome them much like I welcome the fools in my current living arrangement – two gynarchy obsessed Nazi feminists and “Buddha on Bed” – and a cuck that enables it all – because guess what – I make money off that too.
But to all you idiots – and there are so many, geez, this is true case of being a celebrity – or feeling like one – before I actually am one in terms of sheer numbers.
Its like my books on the other site.
Like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, without knowing it, I wrote the books first – then the stories in them happened in real life – years down the road.
I met Ms Chen yes, but the book on her was written in 2014, I met her in 2019!
And its the same thing here.
I write a simple email to my list, all I want is for the list to read, and the rest to leave me alone, hell I even go out of my way and create videos to say I want to be left alone, and thats that …
… is it?
Instantly, trolls as far away as Greece (I’m referencing a certain fool from 2021 who paid to advertise here, then got cold feet apparently) hit their keyboards complaining about “why did he write this” – when it has nothing to do with them at all.
I put out videos about pushups, I have inane comments ranging from “sexy ni…!” – to God only knows what coming in (thank God I don’t allow comments in general on that site) – and I have inane “mentions” (all go to spam, but when I do check ’em) – mentioning me – with puffed, preened, bloated fat chest – “I can do that too, Mommy!” …
I put out a bloody video on pull-ups, not even thinking about anything else other than pull-ups, and some fat Bozo whose been haunting this place since last year and wont leave despite being booted from all social media, lists etc, blocked everywhere, he (she) still finds a way to come back like a certain Anne did in 2019 – shows up writing lonnnnnnnnnng monologues about it that I would not have known about admittedly had it not been for “Bald Benni”‘s “friends” alerting me to the fact.
I write a book – or two per year, and the trolls go to town on it, so do so called fitness “ex spurts” that try and break down the book simply to find weaknesses that dont exist in it,and so forth (and end up with “he didnt hire a make up artist to do his pictures”) …
I wrote about Squats, and my dictum in the book has already been taken as gospel by some “if you ain’t squatting you aint training” – people that are making GREAT GAINS in their own training from this book – and the rest, well, you’d think theyd go their own way but they go out of their own way to promote the book even though they claim they hate it while never having read it and whine about “who made this rule” (I made it, you idiot, isnt that obvious fat boy?)
I go to the park (again) to train – all by my lonesome – so much so that when I see people approaching me I literally usually move away to the other side of the park so they dont bother me with their horseshit (their loser horseshit I should say, these are losers and do nothings that will never do anything except while away their time – fritter away all the info I do give these guys because they never use it, ask the same moronic questions over and over again (like really dude, the answer dont change no matter how many times you pester me about it) – or whine about “that so impressive! you’re a strong boy!” and other inanity I really dont want in my life, but that which they have in tons in their lives – typical loser do nothing fanboy stuff).
(I can just predict a certain lard ass reacting to this and sending me his version of “strongggggggggggggggggggg arms bro“)
Like, another one of my pet peeves is folks I barely know calling me “bro” .. ugh.
I go to the park to train – again – and some ass clown shows up “I want to try your sunglasses on” (dude’s like 50, not exactly from the slums, probably has way more moola than I do, yet… ugh. Yeah, dude I’m too cool -but stay the fuck away from me please…but he wont. ADDICTED!!)
Like my friend Rueben once told me sagely about women.
“You’re an extremely good looking guy, no matter what you do, women are going to be interested in you!”
Thats true too … proof in the pudding, despite me being the caveman I am.
All of this is fine, of course. (and the woman part, I dont really mind it. Hehe).
Its what us celebs live with on a daily basis.
But it … gets … AGGRAVATING too.
If you’ve ever wondered why celebs keep saying “we need our space”, this is IT.
Man, I can understand what Napoleon Hill once said about getting his phone line disconnected and never being happier, because the minute it was connected, it started ringing – and wouldn’t stop, day, night, or in between.
For a long time I didnt do videos, didnt do audio, just hit my list, now that I Am – well – they’re all coming out of the woodwork.
Again all of this is fine, but being the logical being I am, I’d rather FUNCTION – over adultation – which feels great, dont get me wrong, it pumps up my already inflated (rightly so in many regards) ego even more – but really, FUNCTION over all, like in my workouts.
What FUNCTION does this adultation serve?
And hence this email to all the phat bozos and Schofields out there – look, we all know your place in life is to be a fanboy, losers.
You’re too lazy – I repeat, too lazy – not too “incapable”, but too damn lazy, bratty and entitled to actually roll up your sleeves and make a difference in your own life – to do something that will better yourself – so you haunt, shamelessly ape, and troll.
You’re too fat to actually do the exercises I promote but you want to, so your compromise is writing long incomprehensible monologues on it.
Which is fine …
But let’s face it, and the proof’s in the pudding,despite being roundly KICKED from all my sites, videos etc – you’ll find a way to come back. You’re addicted to this here guy – or you wouldnt be eagerly reloading my site all the time to see “what he’s written next” – saliva dripping of thy fat jowls as you do so.
So why not simply come out in the open about it and tell me WHAT exactly you want from me. Hehe.
Isnt that simpler?
So trolls, losers, buffoons – look, thats fine, thats your lot in life, but to you guys – write back – TELL Me what videos you’d like me to do.
What do you WANT?
I mean, its like I keep asking my Dad, who in typical “cuck enabling” fashion shows up along with his wife to pester me every time my own wife throws a hissy fit.
To give you an example, last Saturday it happened … my wife has these inane rules about how “you must write down the lunch and dinner for the day so I can make it in advance” or plan, or what not.
Seems overkill to me, but I do it anyway.
Except, she changes it willy nilly, as the mood catches her.
And she often tells me about it too after changing it.
So to simplify matters, I just ask her “what should I write”.
Simpler, eh, after all it’s her decision apparently ultimately which is fine too.
When she’s in a good mood, she answers, bad mood – she snaps.
I’m not one to take any of that crap from women, and as I write in my book … I dont reply directly.
But what I do do inflames her to the extent she starts yelling up a storm, now according to gynarchy, men can’t yell back, they’re supposed to “take it”.
Molly coddle, whatever you call it.
And Dad shows up pestering me about “what can be done” – like Dad, fuck if I know. I didnt start it, I didnt bicker, I simply followed a rule your own gynarchy obsessed family set, and even that isn’t enough for these idiots.
I mean, ask the idiot that started it, not me.
(what he wants, of course is for me to say “its all my fault” when its the polar opposite, and that ain’t happening. Hehe). (and for me not to “react” – which in my own way I damn sure will… hehe).
And according to him “living seperately” will resolve the issue, like Gee Whiz, Dad, wtf have I been doing all these years, exactly that, not like I need you to point out the bloody obvious.
True, covid fucked it all up in 2020 in that regard when China shut down and never re-opened until the “fag end of 2022” but even they have reopened now, not like I ever wanted to be living with a bunch of loons anyway, and you know this very well.
Like really, “what the fuck do you want, Dad?”
Honestly, I’d rather just ask him to get in the ring with me and be done with it, of course, that ain’t ever gonna happen either will it “Mano o Mano”. Hehe.
Same thing with these ass wads that keep haunting the place – tell me what you want, you losers, we all know you want recognition, Ill give it to you if you pay the price.
It has to be something that will help the doers, mind you – mindless posturing isn’t wanted, and puffing, preening and posing isn’t going to happen either.
But tell me what you want me to put out there, what you want to see, the next books you want to troll – at least lets be OPEN about it all.
I’m honest above all – about everything.
And to all the other losers that can’t stay away from me – indeed, this Schofield type would be more than glad to wipe my butt if I told them to (ugh) – stop whining, moaning, trolling etc – write back – tell me what you want me to put out next in terms of products.
If you want to be the best fanboy around here – well, promote these products, do it in a trolly manner if you want, post on forums etc, Instagram, whatever floats your boat, and report back to me with your results.
Trust me, I’ll give you the recognition you deserve when you do.
My entire point is, lets be open about all this fanboy stuff, not “behind the scenes fanboys or girls getting pissed off the “great one doesn’t even reply directly to them”” – and I AM talking to you DIRECTLY now, fanboys.
So lets do this – honestly.
Write back – let me know!
Don’t haunt me like a ghost. Be open about your fan boy status to Rahul Mookerjee – and he’ll reciprocate in kind and give you the recognition you deserve in that regard.
but this beating around the bush crap, not for me…
Alright, I’m out. Damn, that was longgg…
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
PS – DOERS – if you’ve skipped past all that, goodie – heres the part that is relevant to you – write back and tell me what YOU Want to see next.
There’s so much going on around here, my friend, but as a doer, your feedback is the most important thing.
Hordes of you are “Silent doers”, and thats great, the best way.
Silence though ain’t always golden. Communication is the name of the game.
And sitting back thinking “I dont have the money” isn’t exactly the most productive thing either, the money will come if the WILL is there.
Today, I thought I’d get a few things off my chest while larking on about this topic – and I have in video format – here –
Along with a WHOLE host of other videos – check out the channel for more. I really have to get a better “fuggin” hehe angle on the side to side pull-ups and some of the more advanced pull-ups I plan on showing from “Pull-ups from STUD to Super STUD within WEEKS!” (with jump rope workouts)
Oh, and if you’re phat Benny or his ilk trolling both this site and my videos and shamelessly grabbing ideas off me – I mean seriously, I put out videos about something, and a whole bunch of trollish sorts write monologues about it themselves the day after – or hours after – like seriously, can’t you fucks be a little more original? lol.
Then again, their logic goes thus “the internet is free, we’re on the internet, anything you post on the internet is fair game to be copied”.
Like cementing their loser status with a big fuckin capital L, not to mention some of these turds like fat Benny can’t even DO a single pull-up if they tried – at least not as in getting their chin above the bar. (well, I take back the “if they tried” part – they’re too lazy to do the needful in terms of trying).
Oh, and you fool – “China” isn’t Asia, and neither is Asia “China” – seriously, explaining these things to trailor park Benny’s – perhaps not worth my time or anyone’s – liberal “live on my wife loons” that dont know their ass from a hole in the ground …………. ah, but we went there before did we not. Hehe. Yeah, we did!
I get it – being successful means being aped – usually by lunatics and clowns that dont have a dime to their name let alone an actual business or any sort of real earning capabilities (or by fat trolls posing as some sort of an expert when the only exercise they do is finger flicks on Tik Tok or the potty walk from dining table to potty and back), but I suppose its good to call ’em out by name once in a while, since these ass wipes simply wont bugger off from here on their own (they’ll show up again anyway even if i call ’em out. Heh).
Apparently fat boy’s logic is someone can come up to you and pester you left, right center, up and down while you’re minding your own damn business and you have to be nice to them. (pander to them).
(much like what fat boy does himself around here – haunting this place like the ghost that never went away – see Ragini MMS for that one, hehe – hot chick if nothing else!) (or see 2, with the lovely Sunny Leone in it!)
(certainly not “Bald Benni MMS”, some of those shirtless pictures he’s spammed me with in the past with other fat guys that I can only guess are his boyfriends – just sick!).
Hmm — thats the liberal way, maybe. Fuck the liberal way, in case you didnt know.
And no, fat boy isnt the only one either, theres trolls out there of various sorts and I mention some of them in the video as well (some of these idiots writing back about my choice of clothingfor one would be better off on the erotica site!)
My way is what the girl said in Texas Chainsaw Massacre … WELCOME TO TEXAS, MOTHERFUCKER!
Hehe. Double barrelled at that!
Anyway. Seriously these clowns piss me off no end, but what are you going to, lunacy in general is what the world has effin descended into …
Thats that …
Oh, good news – we’re about to register another one of our business – I’ll keep y’all posted on that too, though its not a fitness related thing, but just an update for my list!
Always makes me happy, moving ahead no matter what – and thats what counts, in life, fitness, or anything else.
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
PS – To “Bald Benni” (another nutjob that was an employee here before I booted him for lack of results) – another clown who won’t stop haunting this joint if you paid him to (and thats saying something given he never has any cash), that hair be going at the rate of knots, and the nose is getting longer at about the same rate at sticking it where it dont belong, in case you didnt notice, its hangin down your fat jowls, almost …
No matter how much someone might piss me off – unless it’s Schofield level – I rarely, if ever use the word “hate”.
Thats not to say I dont “hate” things- everyone does – some things.
But way too many people use this word more than they should – hate – haters etc.
I use the word trolls and losers, and a hell of a lot more, but hate? Nah – I dont use it that much, nor would I want to – either use or FEEL true hate.
True hate, my friend, is an emotion that DESTROYS from the within.
Napoleon Hill spoke about constructive and destructive emotions in Think and Grow Rich– it applies to fitness, life, anything you might put your mind to – any goal.
If you’re consumed by hate, you might succeed for a while, but it will catch up to you.
If you, on the other hand use the ANGER fueled by hate as a propellant to bigger and better while you “forgive and forget” – well, then you’re on the right track my friend – my track.
Anyway, its a complex issue, thinking in PICTURES is what we all do. And words paint pictures in our minds – and hate paints too much of a negative emotion in my mind which I do NOT want to attract into my life.
More on this in a video today .
Workout wise, some great stuff as well!
And that my friend, is that – enjoy. Oh, PIck up Zero to Hero!for more motivation along with Gumption Galore – truly information from the trenches that actually works, proof in the pudding, unlike what the so called self help gurus teach …
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
PS – the Jump Rope video was inspired by the “Iron Mike” discussion going on in the Ship. That is great stuff guys – keep it GOING!
Another great, short, and to the point review by Laura Della Ciana (from Italia, hehe) for our great, great book Dish Delicious – –
The book contains easy to understand recepies and dips to vary the everyday diet with many ingredients inspired by the Indian cuisine. The food is low on calories without giving up on taste, indeed the extra oomph is probably assured by the use of many spices. The recepies are easy and quick to make
Said well, Laura! Low in calories without giving up on taste – indeed – so true!
Not to mention the time aspect – these recipes are not your typical Indian “wedding” (lol) dishes that take FOREVER to prepare (and taste superlative, admittedly) – these are quick jobs, all of them – and of course, the spices aid in losing weight too amongst other things!
Low on calories while keeping the taste factor intact.
On the Animal Kingdom Workouts page, I’ve written about how if you do what is mentioned in this course, follow the exercises and routines religiously – actually, if everyone would – then all of those people – or a substantial amount of them – might well put the big V out of business, hehe.
Yes, you heard me, the blue pills…
Literally – exercise done right this way – the NATURAL manner – it causes so much blood flow to the core and loins that even those of you with tiny peckers (Schofield comes to mind) will feel like and perform like SUPERHEROS in bed, hehe.
OK, scratch the “size” part – it aint how big it is (ahem, but sometimes it IS, ask any lady!)- its what you do it with and how you use it – or any other muscle.
Lots of fun today, especially out there in the park where a yoga guru took some videos for me that I’ll share later, and it was great teaching him how to do Gorilla grip work – the RIGHT WAY.
That sort of training will make a monster out of man – training the natural way, as I told him.
He was complimenting me on my grip strengthetc, but I was busy doing the same for him.
Look, yoga might not be as good as what we do around here overall, but it damn sure has it’s benefits isometrically, and as I told him, building the grip, tendons and so forth.
This dude can do some pretty cool things, including do L -sits on parallel bar, hold the frog pose on them and thus forth.
But, his pull-ups were off – despite him being slim and in shape.
Just goes to show you, pull-ups aren’t just for big people, and being slim and fit doesn’t necessarily mean you can do either pull-ups or monkey bar work well. It will show if you can, indeed, while filming, the first video got cut off because … well ,dude thought I was done but I wasnt. Hehe. Another round remained!
Anyway …
Here’s a great testimonial on Squat 101 from Saka Jubreel …
Thanks, I really appreciate.
I learnt way to do squatting exercise the easy way and so way to improve your performance on bed.
Am really looking forward to learn more about squatting exercise.
Remember . If you ain’t squatting, you aint training !
Amen, Saka! Hehe.
And hes right, with the type of squats I teach you in the book, all the different variants – – tough ones, easy ones, all of them – they ALL work the pelvic floor and muscles in a manner NO other exercise does.
Most people, yoga gurus included do NOT go ass to grass in the squat, which is a BIG mistake, both in terms of not activating the glutes fully, and not employing full ROM – and therefore, not optimal results (but you’ll still GET results, just nowhere near what you would if you did it right).
Anyway.
This great book has been flying off the shelves, and I’ve had to, especially with the superlative workout video attached to the book consider raising the PRICE of the book several times already, so get this NOW – next time you might be paying a “pretty penny more” for it.
And thats that – oh, enjoy the grip workouts, and the pulling! (today wasn’t a pushup day – it was a pull-up day, all 100 of them and more!)
Enjoy!
Best,
Rahul Mookerjee
PS – Gorilla Grip is the best tool to have in your grip training toolbox, my friend. Along with the techniques I teach in Gorilla Grip -ADVANCED! – you will literally have a smoking hot grip of REBAR if you do what I tell you in these two courses, as a customer said, “if you want to develop a grip that is literally TERRIFYING!”
If that sounds of interest to YOU – get these courses NOW.
Hi Saka –
Thanks for getting back to me with your thoughts – much appreciated! And you’re welcome – and YES – you’re right – squats DO improve performance in bed – much more than any sort of steriod, or Viagara etc ever could!
Thanks for your kind words on this book – much appreciated – and yes, if you ain’t squatting – YOU AIN’T TRAINING!
This afternoon, the sun was nice and warm – as opposed to the freezing cold nights (when I take freezing cold showers, hehe – it was funny, my wife was hollering about (when my daughter asked if she took cold showers) “I’m not a damn wrestler!!!” Hehe) – and I was out there doing my 500 pushups as usual.
Towards the end of the workout, I was really flagging today.
I still remember the girls next to me (office workers out on their lunch break) looking at me grunting each rep out curiously as if to say “wtf is going on”.
Thats ok, ladies, I wanted to say. One of them is actually rather cute!
But, training time is training time, unless the girls are training WITH you – like a certain Carol did, nothing doing. No nonsense of looking at the flowers when climbing hills with me, hehe. (unless it’s post workout when I’ll look at a lot more).
Anyway.
Chick might have been surprised if she knew 250 club swings preceded this – today with 15 kg’s ers – and if she knew a 100 squats and a brisk run were part of the proceedings.
But the 500 pushups take center stage … and I’m here to tell you this – apart from the obvious conditioning, strength, and other immense benefits these workouts give you they build one thing above all – focus, gumption, SPIRIT – and mental strength in hades – sorry, spades. Hehe.
Really, when you can knock out 500 reps of any exercise consistently, you’ll find you’ll focus like a laser on, and move towards whatever goal you’ve set for yourself in life as well -any sphere of it.
It might surprise you to know I dont necessarily think about my other goals during a workout.
I did in the past, now, my workouts are so damn tough – and so it should be – that its about getting through this set, and planning for the next, thats all that matters. It’s also a great way to get the subconscious mind to work on the other goals in the background while I “forget about them” temporarily.
Why 500, you might ask?
Good question.
Why not 400 – or 600?
Or 1000?
I dont know, but 500 is a number that has been passed down through the ages, as with most such things, for good reason, it’s a number that really hits it workout wise.
You hear a lot of nuts bitch about high rep workouts claiming they dont build strength – or muscle – some claim “they just build stamina” – some have even gone so far as to claim they’re boring (though admittedly guys who use that word have never ever done it themselves – or they wouldn’t be using that word) – and so forth.
Boring?
Man, pushing yourself when you’re already at your limit is anything but boring – and that brings me to my next point.
Key thing with these workouts – keep them CHALLENGING.
For instance, the only “easy” – or relatively easy exercise (for me, that is) that I do during my 500 pushup workouts are floor humpers, even those I’ll try and make each rep tougher – and I’m doing them on one arm now, something that has eluded me for most of my life!
Pretty soon, it will be one arm fingertip pushups – talk about a SIZZLER!
Anyway, if all I did for the most part during my workouts were Hindu pushups and table pushups – which was what I focused upon for years when I wrote 0 Excuses Fitness– then it would be easy for me.
Now, nothing doing.
I’ll do 20-30 reps of either the Jack La Lanne pushup or the fingertip (regular) for my high rep pushups, but thats it – most of the other reps are sets of 10-15, for me low reps, and TOUGH exercises – exercises that I have to really work to finish that many reps.
Thats how to do it, my friend. (not to mention, older guys with joint issues and such – once you increase the difficulty of the sets, and lower the reps/set while keeping TOTAL reps / workout the same – THAT is the ticket for keeping them joints healthy!)
This sometimes also means that the hour I set aside for 500 pushups – well, that sometimes gets extended a bit if I do a LOT of the lower rep movements to get there. So be it. The key is to keep it challenging, and the body to be forced to adapt, and thats how it works my friend.
And anyone that tells you high rep workouts are useless, well …
A short story first.
An idiot in my daughter’s school today claimed something that made me goggle when the daughter told me.
“Aryan said he’ll take all my father’s money!”
Apparently there was some stupid debate about who has the latest version of playstation (I’m not ashamed to admit I did not even know version 5 is out!) – and my daughter didnt have it, so according to nutter kid, “she’s poor”.
I laughed.
Anyone that spouts nonsense like that is in category three, I told my daughter, who asked what I meant by that.
I told her you can roughly classify people you meet into three categories “smart” (those who you should listen to, maybe learn from), “normal” (herd) and the last, “utter bozos”.
After the giggles subsided (she loves the word bozo, hehe) – I told her to simply ignore such foolishness.
The greatest riches are HERE – I pointed to the ole noggin.
And it’s true – with a BRAIN, and if you USE it the way it was meant to, you can ultimately attract all the riches you want to yourself my friend. (and I told my daughter this too).
Anyway – – the daughter replied with something interesting.
“He has a huge club with which he’ll smash your head!”
Something about being “proud” as well … of me, or I dont know, the wife said that while not being too happy about the language my daughter used.
Truly a chip off the old block, I was going to say, but she cut me off saying “well, I’ll be the one listening to the teachers bitch about in the Parents Teacher Meetings!”
Well, those teachers do precious little other than maintain their makeup in class – not like they actually TEACH? Anyway, I didnt say that …
… but back to the 500 rep workouts, and people that diss them, call them useless or other things and plenty of people do – put them STRAIGHT in Bozo category, dont even bother talking or arguing to these fools, it ain’t worth it.
Anyway …
Here’s a tougher variant on the archer pushups that will really smoke your triceps, another step on the royal road to one arm pushups for reps…
And thats that.
Remember – Pushup Central, my friend – GET the book if you haven’t already – I cannot emphasize how important this book is to your overall fitness goals, no matter what they are, period.
