FROM THE AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION: "This book is intended as a from-the-ground-up primer on grip-strength training. This book makes no assumptions about your current level of fitness or baseline knowledge about training methodologies: the ONLY attribute you need is the desire to get stronger! This book is also intended as a "poor man's guide" to grip strength training. The exercises and methods shown and explained in this book require little, cheap, and/or easy-to-find and/or construct-for-yourself equipment. Many of the exercises I describe in this book can be performed using items you have around the house, and any gadgets I describe can be easily constructed from materials found at any sporting goods and/or hardware store. The contents and conclusions presented in this book are the result of my own training, study, and experience, and that of my coaches, clients, martial arts students. I feel strongly that book presents a safe, efficient, and effective approach to grip strength training. I wish you good luck and good training!"
