Book Reviews of The Grip Master's Manual
Book Review: effective simple but hard
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought this book on here not to long ago and was pleasently surprised i got it alot earlier than expected so thanks amazon
the contents of this book are absolutely brilliant where i live its hard to find good training information and this book has shown me that with very little equipment i can get a set of strong healthy and nimble hands
the exercises from the foundational strength exercises and some more specific grip work are soon going to be included in my workouts and from the information i can see my self in the near future ripping cards and possibly moving on to short steel bending
the only problem i had when purchasing it was i didnt reliase that mastery of hand strength came first but thankfully this books stands alone
i will be adding more of John Brookfields work to my strength training library
Book Review: This guy is insane...
Summary: 4 Stars
Upon purchasing and reading through this book, I have come to the conclusion that the author is insane!
Brookfield really takes a "backwoods" approach to his training. For the most part there is no fancy machines or complex contraptions that he uses to build grip and hand strength...Much of it revolves around using bricks or long pieces of boards to create resistance...sounds easy but it's not.
I will admit that despite having read the book, I haven't put alot of effort into building my grip strength. It seemed to me that it would require plenty of dedication to accomplish so I never truly persued it.
Apparently this guy is an expert in the field...Being that there aren't many books available on this topic, it's worth reading and seeing if any of the training methods work for you.
Book Review: 122 Pages of Excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is THE book when it comes to grip training and becoming a well rounded athlete. Brookfield lays this book out very logically starting with a section on getting ready. He then progresses through: Advanced Lower Arm and Grip Training; Advanced Grip Challenges; and Steel Bending. No matter where you turn to this book is filled with helpful tips and ideas to get your workouts going.
I can honestly say this book and the ironmind grippers have already improved my hand strength immensely. I would highly recommend this book and look forward to acquiring Brookfield's other book "Mastery of Hand Strength."
Book Review: The Master shares his secrets
Summary: 5 Stars
John Brookfield IS Mr. Hands. He is also a very sharing person who will gladly help others to succeed. The Grip Master's Manual is a superb book with many unusual ideas for exercise and hand health. If you are interested in building a stronger grip, you MUST read this book. If you're not interested in building a stronger grip, you are probably not interested in performing near the top in any athletic endeavours. In a nutshell, if you want to be better at almost anything that requires use of your hands, you should build your grip and this book is a true asset. Highly recommended.Book Review: Definately Worth It
Summary: 5 Stars
The Grip Master's Manual is written in a much more organized manner than John Brookfield's first book, Mastery of Hand Strength. Both are certainly worth it and used together are even better. Most of the techniques inside both books can be done with little material from a hardware store or things you probably already have. He goes over all types of grip strength and in The Grip Master's Manual he devotes an entire chapter to steel bending. If you're interested in how to train your every aspect of hand strength, buy both his books.
