This morning I read an article on psychotic grip strength, but it’s not what you might think.

It’s not tearing a limb off a tree, thunking it against the trunk and hollering for Sasquatch.

It’s not punching holes through marble pillars or pulling fire hydrants from the ground.

It’s not doing one-finger chin-ups from a barbed wire fence as someone strikes you in the gonads.

It’s not tearing the flesh and fur off a grizzly bear while it’s attacking you.

And it’s not rock climbing K2 with one arm (and your brains) tied behind your back.

No, it’s the loss of grip strength that may lead to psychosis, at least according to an article in the American Journal of Psychiatry.

Consider the saying, “Get a grip,” and how it is associated with being able to see reality.

In short, the weaker your grip gets the more prone you are to being a nut job. At bare minimum, when your grip is weak you don’t feel powerful and when you don’t feel powerful it’s harder to feel good about yourself.

Personally, I don’t work on my grip to avoid being put in a rubber room. I do so because grip strength is directly tied to overall body strength as well as athletic and martial arts skills.

And in my opinion, there’s no finer way to work on your grip strength than learning and practicing feats of strength.

That’s why a couple months ago, I held a two-part superhuman intensive with David Whitley, a master strongman.

In part one, I covered the protocols for Hindu squats, and how to work up to 500-straight. In part two, David covered the five different types of grip strength and how to train them to enhance athletic and martial performance, as well as to impress your neighbors and friends, guaranteeing that you are the baddest arse-kicker on your block.

Those who attended this LIVE Double Superhuman Intensive were astounded, and they got to work immediately afterward.

I didn’t plan on making the replay available to those who didn’t enroll back in April, but recently several people have been yanking on my arms and legs, so I’m going to give you a short window of opportunity to get the replay for $149, and then I am going to make this product unavailable again.

To receive the link to the Hindu Squats and Herculean Hand Strength Intensive, send an email to mattfurey@mac.com and I will hook you up.

Best,
