Mastery of Hand Strength

Rate this book
Mastery of Hand Strength is the beloved book on grip strength that just about every grip guy in the last 10 years has read, probably at least twice. And now there's a reason to read it yet again. John has added a whole raft of new training ideas and approaches, 38 new exercises on crushing grip and dynamic training with hand grippers, pinch grip, dumbbells, fingers and wrists--all newly-minted material that is typical of John's creativity and cutting-edge thinking. If strong hands and mighty wrists appeal to you, it's your starting point for world-class grip and lower-arm strength.

Джон Бруксфийлд е може би най-известният силов шоумен, чийто репертоар включва основно номера, свръзани със силата на ръцете и пръстите - огъване на пирони, забиването им в дъска с длан, вдигане на тежести с два пръста и т.н. Книгата му относно тренирането на силата на дланите и пръстите (което, ако не знаете, си е доста популярна дисциплина със собствени рекорди, първенства и т.н.) описва множество упражнения, повечето от които, според мен, с доста съмнителни качества.

Проблемът, мисля е, че човекът е надарен със силни ръце и описва какви упражнения е правил, но няма начин да знаем кои от тях точно са му помогнали най-много да увеличи силата си - повечето от описаното от него, смятам, са по-скоро движения за демонстриране на сила, а не за тренирането й.

A great book on some basics of grip training. My only complaint is that after virtually ever single exercise he reminds the reader to be sure to train both hands. The book would probably be 30-40% shorter if not for that repetition.
