Book Reviews of The Grip Master's Manual
Book Review: Why You Need To Do Grip Training!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me say that I have not read Brookfields other book "Mastery of Hand Strength" and was a little hesitant to buy this book when I heard that I would have to construct equipment myself. I am a complete klutz when it comes to carpentry or anything of the nature and didn't like the idea of constructing anything. Believe me, my fears were misplaced. Most of the tools that you need are laying around your yard.
If you are into bodybuilding, please dont ignore grip training, because you think it will not improve your appearance. Grip training has the been the best thing that has happened to building up my forearms. Not only are mine getting bigger after a mere two months of grip training, but they are becoming highly vascularized as well. Grip exercises are far superior to wrist curls. The only gadget you might want to buy is one of the grippers from Ironmind at http://www.ironmind.com. Brookfield has a column he writes for that website and you might determine if you would like to explore grip training further by reading some of his articles there.
Summary of The Grip Master's Manual
Moving beyond Mastery of Hand Strength, John Brookfield continues his tradition of breaking new ground in grip training: John's creative new exercises and unbridled enthusiasm are what The Grip Master's Manual is all about. John begins with some general training pointers, including how to practice good hand health, and then shows you how to build your overall upper body and lower arm strength, laying a foundation for the specific hand and lower arm training that follows.And what follows is typical of John: a wide array of innovative techniques and exercises designed to motivate and challenge you -- and to build your hand strength from every conceivable angle, along with your dexterity and muscle control. John, who invented what are now commonly called "strap holds," is also your guide to "climbing the mountain" to close the No. 3 Captains of Crush Gripper. Finally, John leads you through the consummate grip master's repertoire: bending steel bars, bending horseshoes, coiling and scrolling iron, bending nails, and even tearing cards.
John wrote this book to help you take your hand strength to the next level, and if you follow his advice, we're sure you will get there and then some. If you want to be a grip master in the true sense of the word, get your hands on The Grip Master's Manual and then go out and crush a can of Coke.
