I talk a lot about grip strength and feats of strength.
Why?
1) Because they’re fun to do.
And more importantly…
2) Because strong hands means you’re stronger overall.
My website isn’t really for beginners. I’d like to think that everyone who reads my messages is a step above the normal population especially when it comes to strength and fitness.
When the average person on the street may be puzzled when you say ‘Grip Strength’ you are not. And just by training your hands you’re are several steps above!
But where should beginners start?
And what if you have hole’s in your foundation yet you’re trying to move onto the ‘advanced’ stuff? (That can easily be a recipe for lack of progress if not outright disaster.)
There are a few people well worth listening too when it comes to hand and wrist strength. My friend, Adam Glass is one of them. He is strong, especially when it comes to grip.
Among some of his accomplishments are ripping decks of cards and phone books in a second. He lifts hundreds of pounds with a single finger. A thick horseshoe Adam bent for me lies on my shelf, far larger than the horseshoes I regularly bend.
And if you’re not quite complete without a world record Adam has one. He owns the world record in the 2″ vertical bar deadlift with a 353 lbs pull at a body weight of 204lbs.
Adam is releasing a DVD on how to build strong hands. But you can’t get it yet. First off he wants to give you a series of free videos showing you the how’s and why’s of grip strength.
At no cost it’s a no-brainer.
Go there and sign up, get the free videos, and get started.
Personally, I can’t wait to see what he has in store. And when you sign you’ll see many of these feats done with ease.

Hit a 470 lb. deadlift yesterday.
For those keeping track (like me) that’s another 15 lb. increase in 10 days. I was surprised I maxed out again so recently this time, but the journal doesn’t lie. Also, for the record that’s just past the 2 ½ times bodyweight mark. Closing in on 500.
Not world record status but if I keep up this pace how long would it take?
And just three days ago I hit 277 snatches with the 24kg in 10 minutes. Closing in on 300.
You too can have this kind of progress. What does it take? The way I see it there are three keys.
1. Training
You need to do the best training possible. After experimenting I truly believe biofeedback training is going to give you the best, fastest and safest results. Click here for more information on how to get started.
However, that’s not all there is to it. Biofeedback is not some magic pill. You still need ideas on the best exercises in general and for you. You still need to know the best ways to approach your goals.
Training is key, yet it’s only one piece of the puzzle.
2. Health and Nutrition
I’ve just released my book 101 Simple Steps to Radiant Health. This contains plenty of beginner and advanced tips on supercharging your health. Superior health means superior energy and recovery for your training as well as being free from illness.
The book is a great start especially if you haven’t paid too much attention to your health in the past.
Also when you order you have a chance to upgrade to a special program I put together detailing all the food and supplementation I personally take. (Like this video multiplied times 100.) This is only available right now for those who buy the book, but this information can make a dramatic difference. I know it has for me.
This is key number two.
3. ?????
The third component is not hard to guess if you give it some thought. However, for now I’m not going to give it away.
Truth be told, I think this can make a bigger difference than the other two combined. I’ve just started really using it and as they say ‘the proof is in the pudding.’
********
On a similar note, I’ve decided to add another bonus for those who order 101 Simple Steps to Radiant Health. (Everyone who has already ordered gets this too, of course.)
I’ll be holding a special Q&A call to answer all of your questions. What more details on tip 75? Want to know what I personally do with tip 31? How about how I do 66? Want additional tips?
Maybe I’ll even talk a bit about key number three from above?
You’ll receive access information when you order 101 Simple Steps to Radiant Health now. I’ll be holding the call in a couple weeks so that you have time to read, digest and apply the information you get.
In strength,
