Rezensionen

'When we say that you now have a chance to learn how to build an extraordinary grip from a master of hand strength-John Brookfield-we're not blowing smoke. In fact, if you want to learn how to get stronger hands, look no further, because Mastery of Hand Strength is the best book ever written on the subject. Period. And it reads as if John is sitting at your kitchen table, chatting with you.

This book will introduce you to some of the leading gripmasters, past and present, and even tell you how to make most of the equipment you will need to develop a world-class grip, but its real strength is its wealth of training information. I am firmly convinced that the reason why John has reached the pinnacle of the hand strength world is because he is so enthusiastic about training and is forever coming up with new exercises.

You cannot read this book without becoming infected with John's zest for hand strength, and you wll undoubtedly meet many, many hand strength exercises you never even heard of before. The result? If you follow John's advice, you are virtually certain of taking your own hand strength to new heights.'-Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D.

'I've seen him (John Brookfield) and he's amazing. Some of the things I saw him do just blow me away. John's possessed and practices night and day; I wish that I had the drive that he does. I'm proud to be the first man in the world to close the IronMind #3 gripper, but I'm honored to know John Brookfield.'-Richard Sorin.
