Give up.
He’s in his peak and you’re in your own world.
How do you beat him?
How do you withstand his strength?
Ability is limitless.
Yet you are scared.
Empower your mind.
Empower your spirit.
To weaken the man, strength becomes his weakness.
Advantage your power and you will weaken his spirit.
Defeated you are not.

Bridging The Gap
Fear is your worst enemy.
You struggle to even get past the stretch.
Feeling intimidated by its core.
See yourself cross over.
Put forth past the fear.
Stretch the boundaries.
Never see you stuck.
Walk past that fear and you have crossed the Bridge.
You struggle to even get past the stretch.
Feeling intimidated by its core.
See yourself cross over.
Put forth past the fear.
Stretch the boundaries.
Never see you stuck.
Walk past that fear and you have crossed the Bridge.
The Keys To Nerve Force & Overpowering Strength
Walking down a brighten path does not begin with love nor does it begin with happiness. It begins taking your first breath and experiencing the growth of your own destiny. Growth is the definition of working your life through a mountain…You climb, you fall, one way or another only you have the ability to catch yourself.
We as human beings tend to find things that suit us to the way we are born and grew up on. We tend to overlook the key ingredients that drive us to the brink of success. Unfortunately most of us never give into that dream cause we don’t seem to really make it a reality.
Changes are made every second of everyday and many of us don’t seem to take a look on how we can adapt to our advantage into the things that make us successful. The mind gives you the ability to think, create and develop strength in ways that are oblivious to the average person. One of the most successful creations of man is also one of the most controversial and that’s exercise. When first using that word or the first thing that comes to mind is that of bodybuilding, Pilates, Yoga & Weights. Although these things are great and can be utilized in many ways that’s only a fraction of genres that are the most effective and the healthiest for the human body. Nerve Force is a definition where you connect mind & body together as if as a unit and using the creative powers of the mind to generate power from our own bodies.
Over 100 years ago there wasn’t high tech gadgets or the latest equipment or even yet Steroids. Yet there were men of strength and health despite the fact that in those times the life expectancy was early 40’s. Most of the men were sick kids or scrawny teens that got beat up because they couldn’t defend themselves. What drove them to be strong was wanting to be strong and believing in themselves. Sure it was a slow process for them and there were times they wanted to give up but a force inside of them kept them determined and build inner power that you just can’t find anywhere else.
Its not how you just progress to get stronger, its how you develop your own individuality and master your own destiny and create what you want and how you want it to be. Most people who want to develop a physique or experience superior health and vigor feel that you have to start with what others tried or have achieved and that’s not how things should really be. First and foremost mastering the basics for you is a must and that goes for everything else in life not just fitness or strength.
Today you look in the magazines and you see men and women from all walks of life and about 90-95% of the time you’ll find either skinny or very muscular looking models and they’re telling you to do this, that and the other but what are they really telling you? It certainly isn’t to get fit nor is it certainly what can make you have a better body and lets get real here they are just after one thing and thats “Cha Ching” money and will say anything to get it. Now does every single advertisement actually tell lies about what people should do, no but yet 9 out of 10 times you’ll get screwed and they made you fall for it.
Never believe something cause someone else thinks its great and can make you better. The best things in life are not always money, cars, women, men and anything else in between the best things in life are the true things that make you as an individual and you present yourself with walking tall and letting things hurt you go by. Its easy to dive into the things that make some people powerful and rich. You have an awesome house, a car that makes every man weep and the most beautiful woman that makes just about any guy go “holy shit I’d give my right arm for some of that ass.” Forgive the vulgar image but you get my drift.

Bridging And Its Benefits!!!!!!
In yoga, theres a posture called the wheel pose which to us physical culturists refer to as the Gymnastic Bridge, in wrestling theres the neck bridge (which too many people think is the worst exercise ever) and theres the front bridge which is also used in wrestling. In India where it is argumented that it was the birthplace for physical culture, wrestling had major ties to the country and some of the strongest and most conditioned men were infact wrestlers. I believe in all its forms, wrestling is the reason why there is yoga today. When it comes down athleticism and down right masterful conditioning one of the best exercises is infact the Bridge. The reason for this is, is that because in wrestling if you want to be the best and a driving force you start with bridging. For the average person however it can seem very dangerous and very disasterous on the human body when in reality the exact opposite is true.
Now when you see the wheel pose (aka gymnastic bridge) you might think someone is very flexible and has a decent amount of strength to weight ratio but if you saw the wrestler's bridge on the neck you would usually have a look of fear and no one should be doing it. I on the other hand believe if you take away the fear and see the beauty in the bridge you might be shocked to find out how beneficial it can be interms of strength, flexibility, stamina, mind power and mentle clarity. There are many ways to bridge and I will say its not for everyone if they have a major problem with their neck, back or spinal cord but for the most part for those who are healthy can do this with practice and patience.
There are many ways to bridge and there's actually a system that has been around for hundreds of years but the name of it has only been around for less then 100 its called Bridging Gymnastics. Its when you practice many types of bridges in a workout that takes less time to get winded then anything else there is. I have done over 500 Push-ups, 1000+ Squats, 20+ Handstand Push-ups, 60+ Pull-ups (none of them in one workout LOL) but nothing got me winded in less then 15min. then Bridging Gymnastics. An advanced version of this is to start falling into a wrestler's bridge on the head, have your nose touch the mat and begin to kick over and back and if you're a stud stand up. This also goes with the Wheel Pose as well when fall back into one, kick over and back and if you're very flexible stand back up. I have done the basics of this and it killed me within minutes and that should tell you how tough it really is.
What are the benefits of the bridge? Well with practice, patience and mentally aware, it gains you strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, coordination and believe it or not it can get you a great physique because it makes you breathe hard which increases your Hormones and builds muscle, it makes you solid as a rock because of the isometric contraction you have to make in order to hold some of the bridges. For health benefits it can increase your brain activity due to the blood flow to the brain, it can keep you flexible in order to move in certain directions with ease and a personal favorite, it keeps you from being obese and because of the HGH increase it can even help your sex life because of the way you have to hold a certain bridge. Before you judge whats wrong with the exercise how about you actually try it yourself and if you don't like it thats fine do something else that works for you but I guarantee from personal experience and learning from friends in Physical Culture, Bridging is one of the healthiest and most meditative forms of strength & Conditioning on the planet. Bridge well and bridge smart.

Yoga For Building Muscle Mass
Most people think that Yoga is for people wanting to lose weight, get toned......not for building natural muscle mass. I happen to believe that its a bunch of crap. For men who wanted to build muscle and likes yoga or wants to get into it, the keys are eating the right foods and adding tension to the exercise. Do less reps if you're going to add tension and focus on the mind/muscle connection. Imagine if gravity is pulling you down and you have to put a lot of effort into the movement or holding the posture. For foods focus more on natural foods and less on the junk food. Not saying you need to be on a diet but you still can eat the foods you love just take a bit less off on the junk food, simple as that. When it comes to tension do not go all out and tense up as hard as possible because not only will you burn out easy but you can also injure yourself, use enough tension to move around or hold as long as possible.
Tools For Gripping Power
There are many ways to train your hands to get full on grip strength and power. If you don't have much money and yet you still think you can't get anything to build a great grip, think again my man because a lot of what you can use in your house can build a much stronger grip then most guys can get in the gym.
Example would involve a towel and a bucket of water. Fill the water to about half full to three quarters full, now take the towel and put it in the bucket to get it wet as possible now pick it up and start whatever end you want and begin to squeeze the water back into the bucket until it gets as dry as it can. This alone can take your grip to a new level of power and might unlike those puny wrist curls the so called "bodybuilders" use.
Bending steel fries the entire body when you put your all into it and it turns hands and forearms into cords of steel especially if you bend rebar. Another hosehold tool to use is believe it or not your towel rack in your bathroom, what you do do is if you have one of those long racks is to grip the rack, now lean back as much as you can until you get to your fingertips then shoot forward and roll the wrist, do this about ten times, now just reverse the movement by under gripping the rack and lean back until it reaches the fingertips, now shoot back and roll the wrist, do this ten times. After doing this exercises my wrists and lower arms were pretty pumped. Work into this carefully and do not overdo it, ten reps is only needed.
When it comes to equipment for the hardcore grip fanatics, thick handled bars are great especially hammers, maces, clubs because when you have to grip something just to be able to move it is functional strength in itself. Now I must caution you, I may not be an equipment fanatic but if you were to use them do them for a short period of time but do what works for you and train smart.

Another Look At VRT Bodybuilding
Recently I have been easing my way back into a system called VRT Bodybuilding which is a set of exercise that you only use tension for by visualizing weights and various fitness equipment. Say you're doing a dumbbell curl, instead of picking one up and let gravity take its toll on you, you visualize how heavy a dumbbell is then squeeze the bicep muscules and curl up as if you just lifted a heavy weight. For the most part this system is awesome for not needing to go to the gym and you get to use your imagination. You don't even need to visualize weights think in your mind what it would feel like to lift a boulder or pushing the pyramids or better yet pulling a train. Think of whatever you want and it can help you become a better trainer and using the Mind/Muscle connection at its maximum for your benefit. I practice this off and on using qi gong type movements or throwing an object, pulling on a rope or better yet pushing down the tower of piza. The keys to this system is imagination and tension and once you've mastered that you'll know the true meaning of muscle control.
