The 0 Excuses FOUR IN ONE book compliation! Dear reader, Oh my GOD. I done gone nuts, and that much is true - especially after the workout I had today. The good feeling BE going, my friend. The blood BE pumping. The shoulders ARE torched, and yet not - that "worked to the bone" feeling you get after a super, super workout - and as for the grip? Well, lets just "unnatural x 2." Or "kungfu x 2," hehe. Yes, I just got done with one of the best workouts of my life, and while I'm not writing this to divulge what I did, I'll give you a hint (it's a custom "King King" workout) and for those of you that are "in the know" about my latest product through my blog etc know what I'm yellin about, my friend. But again - I'm not writing this to tell you about my workout, although I should rightfully pen a tome or two about it, given how awesome it was, and given how even 10% of the workout would flatten the average gym goer. Much like I say in 0 Excuses Fitness, but anyway, I'm feeling so darn GOOD right now that I'm putting some of my books out there as a "compilation" - in other words - a FOUR in ONE compilation! That's right, and here is what you'll be getting in the 0 Excuses Fitness "4 in one" Compilation my friend - The path breaking 0 Excuses Fitness book - fitness information that will get the average Joe fitter than a fiddle with workouts that do NOT take "donkey's years" to complete. NO gyms required, and certainly no equipment - and if you think you've seen it all before - well - think again, my friend. A typical gym goer would fall flat on his nose if he attempted more than 10 reps of some of the - get this - basic stuff in 0 Excuses Fitness. My recently updated "Gorilla Grip" - and this alone can put some of the so called grip monsters out there to shame within a matter of seconds, and I'm NOT kidding. Zero to HERO - I speak a lot about the mental aspect of things in 0 Excuses Fitness, and Zero to HERO takes it several steps further. Much in demand, and NOW part of this special compilation, my friend. Imagine a better future and it'll flow towards you. Fact. Learn 25 keys to making this happen! And last, but not least The Simple and Effective Diet - a concise book on diet - and a must read for those looking to lose that "glutenous maximum of plenty," or get rid of the "junk in the trunk." This book also contains a secret drink that will blast the fat cells off your body quicker than lard off a a George Foreman grill - dive in and learn what it is! And if you think you've seen it all before when it comes to fitness, you're sadly mistaken. Some of the exercises I've mentioned (including one towards the end of Gorilla Grip and one in the middle as well - both of which do NOT involve hoisting dumbbells or barbells) have been around for ages, but are usually "pooh poohed" at by the average gym goer - who, by the way, would be hard pressed to perform even ONE rep of these exercises. In fact, don't just think again, my friend. Think two or three times before nodding your head and saying "Ah, I've seen it all." You haven't - not by a long shot, and I'm not just talking fitness here. Grab it while you can my friend - grab it NOW and watch a whole new world open up to you in terms of health, fitness and ACHIEVEMENT. Best, Rahul

Dear Reader, I’m excited, so I’ll keep this short and “brief”! My first book on isometrics “Isometric and Flexibility Training” was VERY well received in many quarters. It is truly, as a reader commented “the missing link in your training”, and if you’re looking to learn how the old time strongmen built their incredible strength and flexibility – then you’ll want to get this book NOW. Lots did (the DOERS). And the reviews kept pouring in, but yet, as I myself kept training, testing new techniques, taking my own flexibility to NEW levels – I always wanted to put out MORE. Remember, you’re never a master at anything until you are, which usually doesn’t happen to most people, and Masters like the Great Bruce Lee – or the Great Gama of India – would be the first to tell you that. You keep learning, improving, simple. And it is in that spirit that I then put out “ADVANCED, PROFOUND Isometric and Flexibility Training“, another very well received book indeed! And NOW? I’m putting out BOTH books – in one, as it were! Thats right, you dont need to buy “two” books to learn the secrets of real, superior strength and flexibility that have been KEPT from you by the mainstream – so the modern day gyms can prosper, while you LANGUISH. These exercises require no gym, but they give you results better than any gym ever could. These are the exercises, all 102 of them – that the oldtimers ALL used to build their extreme strength, flexibility – and most importantly, ROBUST overall health. We didnt see the old timers complaining about aches and pains, constantly being sick and so forth – did we? I dont think so. If you’re interested into going deep – and learning – the secrets the old time strongmen used – the secrets I use – the secrets that have been used by the centuries, but KEPT from you by the mainstream (so the gyms can prosper, while you shell out big bucks for memberships usually unused, and even when they are – you never really benefit like you want to, eh – sound familiar??) – then youll want to get this book NOW. Some of the secrets modern day gyms have kept from you – note, this is by NO MEANS exhaustive … And that they will NEVER tell you, so they can keep FATTENING THEIR OWN WALLETS at YOUR EXPENSE. You’re all well aware, or should be, at any rate – that pull-ups are far superior to the monkey (uh, lat) pulldown machine – but did you know that pushing and pulling against an IMMOBILE object builds far more strength than yanking the cords on some moronic machine in the gym? In this book, you’ll see why – and how. You’ll see how isometrics builds the tendons and ligaments of the upper body far more than the PROFOUNDLY idiotic bench press does – and how. The gyms will never tell you that though, they’d rather show you pictures of so called monsters benching up a ton to get you to “buy”. You’ll find out how to train the core isometrically – and train the muscles that really make up the core, as opposed to the “for show” six pack that most gym goers target. The gym, of course, would rather sell you the gadgets you see on late night TV and claim “you can easily spot reduce” and other utter B.S. (hint – you can’t). (And the proof is in the pudding) You’ll find out why Hindu wrestlers for one are a huge proponent of isometrics and why the Great Gama for one did isometrics the way he did. The Gym-Bozos will, on the other hand tell you that the tricks and secrets that the man who went UNDEFEATED in real wrestling, not WWE pantomines in FIFTY YEARS – are “too simple”. And perhaps most importantly, the #1 secret the Gyms want to keep from you – is this – you dont need to be “strong naturally” – or do “Extreme” stuff to build the sort of strength the old timers did. Thats right, I’ll say that again. Nigh anyone, even if you’re a beached whale that cannot do a single pushup now – or a person with the grip of a limp fish and four year old rolled into one – or someone that cannot climb a flight of stairs without collapsing (I’ve been there) – can DO these – and benefit IMMENSELY. Of course, that would mean the gym’s revenues go down, eh! The gyms will never tell you to use your fingers to build the grip. Instead, they’ll sell you fancy shmancy so called equipment to do it. They’ll never, for one, tell you that towels – or thick grips – can be used to build the grip ISOMETRICALLY in a manner that anyone, even if you’ve got the grip of a limp fish – can do – and build solid, superior strength throughout the arms to boot. The gyms will always try and separate isometric and flexibility training – saying both are separate. Yet, they aren’t. The gyms do it so they can sell you expensive training “packages” for each of them – yet, what they dont tell you (but know deep down inside) that both go together, and both can be done IN the privacy of your living room – with NO Trainers required whatsoever (this ain’t lifting heavy weights where you can injure yourself, this ain’t Jassy, a girl I know who likes her trainer to “massage” her after every repetition, and so forth).. The gyms will never … Ah, but we have covered enough of that already. Skip the modern day nonsense that doesn’t work, period. If you’re at this page, you want to learn about the secrets of the oldtimers – how they bent iron bars – how they pulled aeroplanes by their hair (no kidding) – how they routinely broke tree branches – and how they literally turned their upper bodies into “indestructible iron” as it were … And the secrets ain’t what are taught by the gym i.e. bench a ton, lat pull a monkey, and deadlift an elephant. Its about training your own body, the way it was MEANT to be trained. With your own body. If that sounds “contradictory”, well, read the book, and you’ll see what I mean. Your body is not only all you need to get a great workout in, it’s also all you need to build strength, flexibility, inhuman “pulling power” – or pressing power – conditioning – animal like ligament/tendon strength … Without further ado – The Benefits you can expect to achieve from following the routines, tips, exercises and WORKOUTS in this compilation! Extreme “animal like” flexibility and “Trance like”, “cat like” grace, agility and fluidity in all your movements, exercises, and “in general”. These stretches improve overall well being and flexibility beyond any sort of BELIEF! 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! “2 minutes to improving your flexibility by leaps and bounds”. YES, you CAN dramatically increase your flexibility within the space of TWO minutes – or less – even on stretches you’ve NEVER been able to do before. This course will show you HOW! If my previous course on isometrics gave you a feeling of “sang froid” and being “on cloud nine” all day, then this one gives you that x 10 and SPIRITUAL benefits like you’ve never imagined. Let me tell you, some of the groin, hip and hamstring stretches do more than open the muscles and body up. They literally open your LIFE up. Watch results in EVERY area of your life flow effortlessly to you once you get on the routines herein, and watch your performance in every physical activity SKYROCKET. Achieve extreme, elastic, animal like “martial arts style” flexibility in your entire lower body – and open up the back and traps like never before. You may have trained the back of your body before, but anything you’ve done before will PALE in comparison to the profound exercises and workouts listed herein Ever wondered how some people can do extreme stretches with little to no effort? While others STRAIN – and FAIL? In this course, you’ll learn it’s about RELAXING, and BREATHING, and you’ll learn how to harness the power of your BREATHING, and the GROUND to achieve things you previously thought impossible to do “you dont want to stretch like that, you might want to have kids one day!” – dangerous – painful – or simply “not doable”. Not only THAT, you’ll be kicking, moving, and sliding into these positions with EASE, and PEACE. Your extreme flexibility combined with the increase in strength (lets face it, no-one wants a wet noodle – or sock) will make you not just the “star of the party” – but will also result in dramatically, and drastically improved physical health and appearance on the outside – and the inside. The pounds will fly off you at record “warp” speed once you stretch the fat away; literally. Your conditioning will improve like NEVER before once you combine these movements with other workouts I teach (and even if you just follow the “workouts” section in this book). You’ll build a core of super rebar – strong, tough, durable – yet CAT LIKE FLEXIBLE to the extreme! Your toes, fingers, neck and other extremities will stretch and strengthen beyond BELIEF. Improved sleep, superior digestion, and a massive boost to your lungs and cardio system. And thats just off the top of my head, I’m sure I could think of a 1000 more to write here! Get this NOW, my friend. You owe it to yourself to do so. Best, Rahul Mookerjee

Way, way back in the day – when yours truly was 17 years of age – he fell out of a running bus on his right wrist, and pretty much made a royal MESS of the wrist – a decidedly “non Gorilla grip” wrist at that point I’d say. Though the wrist didn’t hurt that bad at the time, and though I was going to treat it at home myself, I could barely move it in a clockwise and other manner – and long story short, I ended up going to a doctor who put it in a cast. Probably the right thing to do, and ’twas my right wrist – which has always been a weak suit for me.A few weeks later, I remember having to go an examination in another town, and my father was the one that took me there.We had to stay in a hotel on the way, and all of a sudden, we met up with this one guy – – this guy about 6’2″ in height, and a tennis player at that. And as we shook hands, I made it very clear that I had an injured right wrist – but he seemed not to listen, and he gripped my hand with his own “vice” like grip (tennis players have great grips!) – and the pain I felt was beyond comparison. But the worst part wasn’t that – the worst part was the look in the eye – a look that he gave me unknowingly – a look that spoke volumes. A look of “you’re a weakling” – something I’d heard ad infintium growing up. Something that I’m sure would resonate with the great Charles Atlas if he was alive today.You’ve heard of Atlas, I’m sure? The guy who used to routinely get sand kicked in his face at the beach – who was to become one of the VERY BEST proportioned men in the entire world down the line. It was at that point (and perhaps also when the doctor who strapped my wrist gave me a “sorry” sort of look which spoke volumes as well) that I decided I’d get the STRONGEST grip I could get. That I’d work my grip with a passion – and today, bonafide gym MONSTERS and “gorillas” in their own right shy away from shaking hands with me – and not because I intentionally try and crush hands either! As Vincent, a wrecking machine of a man if there ever was a one, a 6’1″ mountain of pure muscle and an ex Marine noted last year –I’ve never met anyone that gripped my hand naturally with a kung fu like grip like you do! And so, is it any wonder that despite not a lot of promos –the two Gorilla Grip courses are the ones that sell the very best for me?Is it any wonder that I constantly get remarks about my grip – and how strong it is – and other related comments? Now note this. If I had told folks of my goals back then at that point – they’d have literally LAUGHED in my face.I’d have got sand kicked in my face – figuratively speaking – and then some …And NOW? Well, now it’s the exact opposite – and this truly IS a case of what Napoleon Hill famously once said i.e. Tell the world what you’re going to do – but SHOW ’em first! What you’ll get from this compilation - - The path breaking “Gorilla Grip” book – – as well as it’s successor “Gorilla Grip – Advanced” – unparalleled value as it were, and I’m not done yet with the “value” part of it. The info I’m putting out in both these courses will give you benefits and gains far, far superior to what the average trainee in the gym doing sets of “reverse curls” or “wrist rollers” can ever hope to accomplish. Two books with information gathered from having literally “been in the trenches from day one” in terms of physical exercises and REAL WORLD training – and if you don’t believe me, just read what Vincent, a mountain of a man and a good friend that has spent over 25 years in the U.S. Marines had to say in “Gorilla Grip”. It’s raw, uncensored and STRAIGHT from the horse’s mouth!Learn the RIGHT way to grip – and techniques that’ll cause your gripping strength to explode almost instantly once you apply what is being taught! Learn how to build Upper body strength that is OFF the CHARTS with the exercises mentioned herein. And much, much more. Dive in - NOW!
