Which, I hate to say, this'll give you ideas (ahem) but ... it'll work for Dopa Popa training too if you're into that rot - you wouldn't be, of course. Shouldnt either.
Neither should you, I should say.
Anyway, that's why I don't really like giving y'all free fitness tips anymore. First, ,there's already so many, ya'll dont use them. Second, you just want easy easy easy. Third, you wont give me anything in return. Literally the more I talk to people, the more I get the sense of, and if you don't believe me, come meet me, they're looking at me in awe and wonder as I speak, all very good, but they GIVE me nothing in return. Literally for whatever strange reason I'm surrounded by nothing but the biggest fucking idiots ever, anyway - that's the world these days, I guess? Plus of course they've ALL "done fitness in the past". And now? Massive fucking belly. What losers. And of course, all the gay excuses in the world for not training. I cannot tell you how hard it is to hide my contempt for people any more, but I really don't to be fair...
Anyway. Walking by another one of those idiots, I heard her say "the employer wants the candidate to know conventional first so then he can do the unconventional".
Um. Dont quite know about that, pal.
A few of us, the latter sort exist, ,and while we do "know" conventional is garbage in more regards than one, it isnt a black and white issue to be fair. I mean pushups, squats, pull-ups, hiking, jumping rope etc - all conventional. So in that regard yes, but life wise, otherwise, the unconventional ones are often FORCED to become that way to simply SURVIVE. In a family where the male child gets very little resources compared to the female - who is regarded as a Queen since birth, and all sorts of lies and garbage are fed to the male to turn him (or try to, then whine about failing) into a slave to women and walking ATM and so forth, just one example, the CREAM of the crop yours truly HAD To, was forced to, do what he had simply to survive, let alone THRIVE.
Anyway, fitness wise?
Ever since I've recovered from my strained TRANSVERSUS abdominus ... so normally recovery from my once a year body "breakdown" takes 24 hours to a day or less, this time it took three days all in all. Perhaps some food was the culprit too, but I doubt it, it was that muscle screwing it all up internally, and it got better the next but full recovery occured like 72 hours later. Much like with fasting, total fast, except water and black coffee and nicotine if you so smoke (NO ALCOHOL allowed) you REALLY, if you're man enough to get past the first day (most aren't) see the benefits post 72 hours. You stop WANTING to eat.
During this time I still exercised intensely. Oddly enough the pain completely went away when stretched right and training, NOT ODDLY ENOUGH!
Since I'm the sort that brags OPENLY about you must always have something in reserve (true)- and "you must be good enough on your WORST x 10 day to beat an opponent on his BEST x 10 day or you're a pansy that just wont make it" ... I figured I'd make my routines tougher.
Had this idea to add on thick grips to my WEIGHTED jump rope ... by the way, guys, there are two types - one with the weight in the ROPE itself, and the other in the handles, you must choose the old school weighted ones with the weight in the ROPE. Handles, add on thick grips ... in the village they jump rope, or used to, at least, probably with how fat everyone is even there and extreme feminism even there, way worse than the West to the point India (one of those nations) - now has a birth rate that is no longer replaceable, and its going DOWN even more as we speak .... in the village they use that sort of thing.
Like a rope you'd climb in the military.
Due to uneven monkey arms that I've told you about and been BLESSED with - the grips on all my jump ropes always fall off. The default cloth grips, foam, whatever.
They did too on this one, the closest thing in my lovely (looooooooovely for you Brits) and the idea struck me, and I did it, and MAN!
Like I say in my books on grip training, train the grip and legs (and back, since its almost impossible to not train back as you are training the other 2, unless you're an idiot that sits on a machine in the Jim) and you don't need anything else. You work the entire BODY! Pull-ups, squats, jumping ripe, especially the latter, and in the past a hell of a lot of hiking in subtropically extreme weather .. swimming, if you so choose(but it wont really build muscle in the lower extremities but is great anyway - you CAN build muscle in the pool. but its better to to do it on land since we're land animals basically (bone density etc)).
My performance has sky rocketed in pull-ups, form, all of it, even though I'm the best in the world at them, but my toy, the closest thing in the world at this point in time you could say I'm infatuated with, hehe, my WEIGHTED JUMP ROPE! - (not really but you get the point, hehe) - the workouts sizzle even more in 47 degrees blazing hot summer sun. Not shitting ya on the temperature either.
Squats, stretching, all of it.
I'll get back to the lumberjack stuff soon ...
That is all good stuff, as a great customer around here once rightly said, grip training is as important as breathing. The "Cliffhanger" tale on the other site explains this further - his own personal take on it, and his STORY, ,importantly. Read it.
Not going to link if you're too lazy to research.
And, he's right too "getting Gorilla Grip before 0 Excuses Fitness is like putting the cart before the horse, you must get both TOGETHER".
Literally, these thick grips are available everywhere. Amazon, your local sports store, thick foam handles you could grip until Annie comes home, I shoulda introduced them to her too, haha (remember the stalker who stalked me on the hill after I showed her to do pull-up and her hands split open (good) and of course I wasnt kind enoguh to offer sympathy, I asked for a massage and the rest, well, story on the other website) .
Buy them WITH our books - then USE them.
In my books I tell you the value of thick BAR training and how to do it right, but these keep your hands safe - callus free - and you could grip even harder. You may think its harder with old thick STEEL - rusty iron, whatever it is - pipes, but it isn't, its harder with these since you can really squeeze against resistance (ahem - Ben - please - copy this as I know you will, but dont get THOSE ideas, hehe) .
They will leave you unable to type like a lunar buddy of mine on his first day in the Jim - or turn a key in a lock - literally - and this is even if you're an experienced trainee otherwise.
Remember, work the grip, you'll do less reps, but work every muscle MORE.
Remember, if you've got big traps and an X shape like me, corded forearms, you'll naturally look bigger and more imposing than you anyway are.
And these thick grips will ensure you work your MIND too when doing exercises - remember the nitwit who showed up once asking "why I was training body and not mind" when doing pull-ups and suddenly felt my ... well, what it was, even I don't know, and TOOK OFF like a HARE for the hills?
Your pee pee too indirectly, since the soles of the feet, and palms are connected to every major energy center in the body.
Remember to train NECK along with all that like I teach you.
And you'll turn into a STUD IN NO TIME.
Well, my friend, and brother, I have to smoke like a chimney now.
