Get A Grip A Practical Primer On Grip Strength And Endurance Training And More

FROM THE AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION: "This book is intended as a from-the-ground-up primer on grip-strength training. This book makes no assumptions about your current level of fitness or baseline knowledge about training methodologies: the ONLY attribute you need is the desire to get stronger! This book is also intended as a "poor man's guide" to grip strength training. The exercises and methods shown and explained in this book require little, cheap, and/or easy-to-find and/or construct-for-yourself equipment. Many of the exercises I describe in this book can be performed using items you have around the house, and any gadgets I describe can be easily constructed from materials found at any sporting goods and/or hardware store. The contents and conclusions presented in this book are the result of my own training, study, and experience, and that of my coaches, clients, martial arts students. I feel strongly that book presents a safe, efficient, and effective approach to grip strength training. I wish you good luck and good training!"

Written by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and Strength & Conditioning coach Scott Burr, the Superhero Simplified blog served as a "fitness, nutrition, and skill resource for the aspiring superhero." FROM THE AUTHOR'S FOREWORD: "I started the Superhero Simplified blog in August, 2013. At that time I'd been running The Fight Gym-a mixed martial arts training center-turned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu dojo and Strength & Conditioning gym-for almost six years, and I felt like I had some ideas to share. The original concept was to give regular people practical advice and simple instruction on lifestyle, diet, fitness, martial arts, etc., and in so doing help them surprise themselves. I felt like I had finally sorted through a lot of my own misconceptions about training, and could see where other people were struggling. It is my hope that what I have written in these pages will help you discover or rediscover just how much potential you have, and just how super you can be."
