This book continues where Mastery of Hand Strength ends, as John focuses on functional upper-body and lower-arm strength, plus feats of the consummate grip master's repertoire, like bending steel bars, horseshoes, and nails; scrolling iron; and tearing cards and tennis balls.

It's easy to give up on an exercise when you feel tired, but that's not how you train your mind and condition your body to keep going when it counts. Go beyond your comfort zone as you learn to maintain your pace while doing a mix of practical outdoor movements, straight from the proving grounds of John Brookfield.

Now in its second edition, Mastery of Hand Strength is the book on grip and lower-arm training. Chock-full of exercises for building strength from your elbows to your fingertips, this book will motivate you with John's new training ideas and creative approaches to crushing grip, pinch grip, dumbbells, fingers, and wrists. 112 pp.

Heavily illustrated with a wide range of exercises that will show you how to train everything from your neck down with a set of cables (think chest expanders, not machines), John's book takes you two giant steps past the mainstream view of cable training.
