DOWNLOAD EBOOKDear Reader, The Great Gama of India needs no introduction, does he? Or Bruce Lee, perhaps. He needs no introduction either, does he? I dont think so my friend. But what is not known, or so widely known, is that Lee was an active advocate of the way the Gama trained, and an active advocate of the exercises I have put out in my books and courses. Hindu pushups. Fingertip pushups (which he is pretty much the only person that I’ve read of that came close to truly mastering this great, great exercise). Pull-ups. And so forth. But what is NOT known is that all these three men mentioned above, and ALL the strongmen of yore, or most – used a little known secret in their training that allowed them to catapult their already scary strength and fitness (and flexiblity) levels through the roof. This secret has been known throughout the ages by those that did it. In fact, it’s sheer efficacy is quite literally – the stuff of LEGEND (is it any wonder that the legends all practiced it?) It not only built freakish levels of strength, but strengthened one’s bones, muscles and tendons BEYOND belief. And above all, it … ah, but we’ll get to the REAL benefit and the reason YOU want this course the MOST soon enough! For now, suffice it to say that (much like a lot of the other training methods I advocate that are the best EVER when it comes to strength, health, fitness and conditioning from the INSIDE OUT (not the other way around! – it doesnt work that way!)) these methods have all been cast by the way side in favor of modern day “machine sheen” and boobybuilding. And the pumping and toning, and irrational “trying to outdo the other” in lifts that by their very nature are not just harmful to the body, but add little, if any, functional strength and fitness and benefit to YOU! Big mistake, my friend, and one I aim to rectify HERE, and RIGHT NOW. What is it, you might ask now. What are these methods? Well, I’ll tell you … but first, a bit of a blast from the past. This was known to me before, but a reader of my books and courses let me know what I already did in a manner way better than I could ever say it! I have to admit that I’m no “expert” when it comes to how Gama or any other Hindu wrestlers train/trained but I remember reading a book about Joseph Greenstein “the mighty atom” which details the conversation Gama had with Greenstein when they met in America when Greenstein was a young boy. Greenstein asked Gama how he got so strong and Gama replied that he wrestled a tree every day (isometric strength/endurance) and that he tried with all his might to throw that tree to the ground, to which Greenstein asked did you ever succeed in throwing that tree to the ground? Gama laughed and said “no” little one but, after you have wrestled a tree human beings are not a problem, which is probably a big contributor to why Gama retired undefeated. And it’s true, my friend! And whats more, the “Atom” himself did a lot of isometric training. For those not familiar with the Mighty Atom, here are a few of his feats – Pulling an airplane with his HAIR once Bending horseshoes for fun and at strongman events with his bare hands Driving spikes through … METAL with the PALM of his hand! Biting through NAILS Bending steel bars with his hand … He was also 5’4”, weighed in at 150 lbs soaking wet, and therefore got the name the “Mighty Atom” – and was pound for pound one of the STRONGEST men alive at the time, if not THE STRONGEST MAN! He was also a huge, huge advocate of isometric training. Alexander Zass, the “Amazing” Samson strongman of yore … and in case you haven’t heard of him? Zass was born in 1888. While still a young man, Zass’ strength training included “bending green branches” i.e. Tree branches! During World War One, heas taken as a prisoner of war four times, but ended up escaping EACH AND EVERY TIME! How? Certainly not by wining any pardons! As a prisoner, he quite literally worked out on a daily (and then some) basis by pushing and pulling against the STEEL bars of his cell (and they made ’em REAL back then to say the least!). And if you were to conclude that his escapes involved him ‘breaking chains and bending bars’ – – well, you’d be SPOT ON, bro! If it worked for the Gama, the Atom, Charles Atlas (him of the famous isometric training course), Bruce Lee, Alexander Zass and the Gama, will it work for you? Hell yes it will! You will not just build strength through these and get better at your existing exercises, rep counts etc. You will FEEL LIKE A BILLION BUCKS while doing it, and that alone is worth the price of admission! Not only that, you’ll feel more spiritually “connected” to the universe as you BREATHE right and “melt” into the stretches. Problems will fade away. You will become “at peace with yourself” and “at One with the Universe”. And just in case you think that was IT, here is a more exhaustive list of the BENEFITS you can expect from this course – Massive increase in brute STRENGTH over a period of time, and betteer performance in all your exercises. Increased FLEXIBLITY throughout your entire body, and vastly improved health and digestion as a result. Insomnia will be a thing of the past. Get on a regular program involving stretching, isometrics and LOOSENING the joints and you’ll sleep as well as you did when you were a BABY! (no, I’m not kidding!) Increased fat loss around the core and midsection. There is great truth to the saying “stretch and burn FAT!” Increased muscular definition all over the body. Improved bone strength. You’ll never have to worry about oesteoporosis or bone decay, for one, once you get on programs such as these! As stated above so many times, you’ll not only look good – great, actually – but you’ll FEEL GREAT – and you’ll radiate happiness all around you, but most importantly, YOU will be happy internally and relaxed! Yours muscles will become loose and limber – and STRONGER than ever at the same time, “coiled and ready”, “ready to pounce at a moment’s notice”, much like a tiger or other wild animals! Increased tendon and connective tissue strength and flexibility. It’s well known that this is a weak area for most, and is also the reason why there are so many injuries out there in many regards. Strengthen ALL weak areas. You’re only as strong as your WEAKEST link, my friend, and my programs/routines here will DO that, and then some. A sense of “sang froid” and “calmness” that attracts SUCCESS in all its shapes, forms and guises to you when you follow a regular stretching/loosening program such as I’ve laid out for you. It’s well known that excess stress in the muscles, joints etc affects not only the body, but the most important muscle the MIND as well, and when you get on this program – you can FORGET about stress, period. A few minutes of doing these movement will leave you feeling “loose and limber”, “light as a feather” and “cracking with energy” – and those are but a few of the descriptors I’ve used for myself after these exercises/routines! And much, much more my friend. You’ll find out for yourself soon enough! So, now it’s time to say what I should have at the start. Congratulations on your upcoming purchase, my friend. It truly is one of the best purchases you’ll ever make! Best, Rahul Mookerjee
