Hail to the Dinosaurs!
In an earlier email I mentioned that John
Wood has a new training course for grip
monsters -- and I mentioned that it
covers Joe Kinney and the Secret
Weapon.
Well, I should have known better --
because I've been buried in a flood
of emails from readers who are asking
things like:
"Who's Joe Kinney?"
and
"What's the Secret Weapon?"
So allow me to clear up the mystery.
Joe Kinney is one of the strongest grip
masters who ever lived. Although he' s
not a large man, he's the first man to
close the IronMind No. 4 gripper.
He did it while training in his home
gym in Bean Station, Tennessee --
which reminds me of Bob Peoples, the
one-time World Record holder in the
deadlift, who trained in an old root
cellar on his farm near Johnson
City, Tennessee.
The interesting thing is, both of these
men built incredible strength with
heavy negatives.
Bob Peoples rigged up a tractor and
a chain thingie, and had someone drive
the tractor and lift a heavily-loaded
barbell so that Bob could grab it in
the top position of the deadlift and
lower it s-l-o-w-l-y to the floor.
Years later, Joe Kinney trained his
grip with a specially designed machine
of his own invention -- that allowed him
to train his grip with negative resistance.
And the results were spectacular. As
I said, he was the first man in history
to close the no. 4 -- and that takes a
truly superhuman grip.
You can read all about it right here:

Now, I'm not going to promise that
the Secret Weapon Guide will help
you close the no. 4 gripper -- but
it might!
And it WILL do this -- it will give you
some new and exciting ideas for training
your grip and building maximum hand
and finger strength FAST.
Head on over and check it out -- and
if you like it, post a review for John
on his Kindle page. It's a good course,
and it deserves some good reviews and
some good buzz.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. Here's a photo of the Secret Weapon
Grip Machine:

As you can see, it's a serious piece of
equipment. Bob People would have been
proud to see someone continue the
tradition of Tennessee strongmen!
P.S. 2. If you train on the Secret Weapon,
send an email and tell me about your
results!
