In 2009 I was lucky enough to attend a strength training workshop that changed my life. It was taught by two men I had admired for a long time, but had only had sporadic contact with. Professional strongman “Unbreakable” Adam T. Glass and Brad nelson, an expert kettlebell instructor.
This was the promise of the workshop: You will never again need another fitness product. You will never buy another book, DVD, or session with a trainer. As someone who had tons of books, DVDs, and had spent more than I would like to admit on trainers, I was intrigued.
The price was right. I flew out to Minneapolis to learn how to construct my own programs and say good bye to all the fitness information I had accumulated.
What happened exceeded all my expectations. Grip and Rip 2.1 teaches the Gym Movement biofeedback protocol, which can be applied to any strength sport or physical pursuit. It involves testing movements with range of motion tests that tell you whether a given movement (or exercise) is good or bad for you at any given time. This is the beauty of the program, and where it diverges from traditional exercise information.
Not all movements are good for you at all times. Can you see how this would make it difficult to follow a program? The logic goes that if you follow someone else’s program, sooner or later you will break your body. There can be no indefinite one-size-fits-all approach, because we are all different ages, sizes, shapes, and have lived under different circumstances.
Being able to run your own fitness tests takes the guesswork out. It empowers and motivates. I have had better progress in a year training with the suggestions in the two disc Grip And Rip 2.1 DVD than in the previous ten years.
Brad and Adam delivered. I would go again tomorrow, but I don’t need to! Now I know what I’m doing and my progress will never stop.
