Zach here from The Underground Strength Gym of NJ.

I want to share with you a powerful story along with some critical tips I learned from a tire yard. It's a tale of being "Gym Strong" vs "Field Strong".

The photo below was taken when I began training from a tire yard in my old hometown of Edison, NJ. This is from around 2003 or so......

I still remember the day I learned my lesson as if it just happened yesterday.....

My buddy and I were shocked to learn that being able to bench over 300 lbs, squat and deadlift over 450 lbs meant nothing to men who had the type of strength that we REALLY needed in order to perform at a higher level as strength and power athletes.

The shocker that came to me was when these men who embarrassed us in the tire yard told us they didn’t even “lift weights”, in fact. they didn’t even train at a gym and they smoked cigarettes.

You see, I’m very much like yourself. I’m tired of seeing all the BS fads, gimmicks and short cut style information all over the internet that comes from people who don’t even lift weights or train for raw, brute strength.

I know you’re tired of all the hype as well.

This is exactly why this ‘Grip Experts’ training course has been assembled. People like you and I want to get information from the guys who are the top tier experts in strength training.

These are Coaches who deliver real information that has been proven and tested.

The information I want to share with you comes from Coaches who are training others for performance VS being a pretty boy, cover model.

The critical benefits to having strong hands and powerful grip strength has many benefits.

Here's just a few of those benefits that you'll get when you put this info to use:

• Stronger hands and a stronger grip helps your entire body gets much stronger. Weak hands and weak athletes go hand in hand (no pun intended). Stronger hands = Stronger athlete.

• Understand exactly why you can not afford to have weak hands if you want to achieve a bigger bench, power clean, deadlift and squat. The hands MUST be strong for the rest of your body to be extremely strong. These experts will show you tried and true methods for getting the job done.

Weak hands are unacceptable for Serious athletes, PERIOD.

Have you ever met a strong athlete who had weak hands? No. There is no such thing.

Call it "man strength" or "farm boy strong".

Whatever you want to call it doesn't matter. Having weak hands and a weak grip is limiting your true potential in strength, it’s holding you back and it’s keeping you weak. Is that what you want? To be a weak athlete? I didn’t think so. A Real Man is supposed to be strong. It is man’s duty to be strong.

 

These Simple Changes To Your Training Can Make The BIG Difference In Your Performance

That day at the tire yard was our wake up call and my buddy and I KNEW that we had to do something radically different with our training!

We started training with odd objects such as sandbags, stones, kegs, ropes and more. We ditched the wrist straps and started developing our hands and forearms like never before!

Now I have no problem deadlifting 500 + lbs or rowing dumbbells that weigh 180 lbs, all without straps or wraps.

The results our athletes have experienced have not only improved their hand and grip strength, but the hand, wrist and grip strength improvement has made them stronger all around.

How strong have they become?

• We have high school and college athletes trap bar deadlifting over 500 lbs.
• Bench Pressing over 315 lbs. on a thick bar
• Squatting 405 lbs. or more going below parallel
• Guys that weigh over 220 lbs. are doing pull ups on thick ropes and performing 1 arm rows with over 130 lbs for 10 + reps
• Athletes Power Cleaning Well Over Bodyweight

These are powerful results considering they are NOT weightlifters, they are sport athletes.

This strength has been a side effect of our training for ‘REAL Man Strength’, something you’re about to embark on.

Do you want your numbers to improve in your bench press, deadlift, olympic lifts, rowing movements, pull ups and chin ups and military presses on a regular basis? Then stop leaving the details out to chance.

FACT: The hands generate and transfer strength throughout the body when they grab onto another object.

FACT: Weak hands generate very little force.

FACT:Strong hands, on the other hand, can do a lot of damage.

Try grabbing a very heavy sandbag and rowing it or pressing it. If you can barely hold it you will barely lift it. Or, you may not even lift the sandbag at all! Same goes for a barbell, dumbbell or your opponent!

Your weak hands and poor grip are limiting your true potential in strength.

Do you want to allow your hands and grip to be the weak link in your strength development?

In fact, you and I are probably on the same page, agreeing that any serious athlete always wants to obtain any edge possible to increase their rate of success in sports performance.
