Book Description
This is the fourth course in our pull-up series - and another highly acclaimed one from what the pre-orders say! I didnt need to put another course like this out given all the acclaim our other courses have gotten, but since there wasn't one dedicated to "tips alone" - here's a course for that alone. BENEFITS you’ll get from this course – If you implement these tips into YOUR pull-up and even other bodyweight routines, YOU will … … Progress to stratospheric levels at the pull-up – and do so effortlessly while getting better at pushups and all other bodyweight movements you do – INCLUDING squats. That alone is a mind bender for most folks that think squats have got nothing to do with pull-ups, but the Bodyweight Exercise Guru will show you otherwise as he is always “wont to”. … Be taken by the SCRUFF of the neck and literally forced, left with no choice but to get better at the exercise or just plain ole quit (in which case we don’t want you wanking around here no mo) … its either SURVIVE AND THRIVE, or DIE (metamorphically). Thats the spirit this course will arouse in you, like “no man ever has before” and you cannot go wrong with that sorta spirit! … tread paths on the pull-up NO man has ever trodden before – literally – some of these tips are literally worth their weight in gold my friend, you’ve never seen them anywhere else before, you never ever will. … lose fat and gain muscle so quickly that even you won’t believe it’s the same person looking back at you in the mirror a few weeks later. You’ll be fitting into clothes you wore as a teen – no kidding. …. get to “hallowed” numbers in the pull-up that even my other world class books on pull-ups did not address. Por ejempelo, 50 pull-ups per set – or even 100? Blink all you like, but it’s possible, very POSSIBLE, and in this book you’ll learn how! … build a grip of steel like never before. My other books do a fair job of this as well (the info in them) but THIS info takes that, pounds it into pulp, multiplies it by 10 or more and then re-emerges as lumps of muscle on those forearms. Don’t believe me? Ask Sly Stallone whose own forearms are the stuff of legend, and whose reported to have been on the same routines as what this book advocates. … will start cranking out one arm pull-ups effortlessly, willy nilly, truly the holy grail of strength and conditioning eh. … will take your core gains to the next level – so much so that punches will literally “rebound” off your midsection while you do very little other than stay “normal”. …. will turn into the closest thing to a human ape – or tiger in terms of that KILLER instinct which pull-ups build like few other movements can. … will turn into a mountain of muscle overall, and a bundle of sinew and tendons that will be every bit as strong, tough and rugged as they LOOK! … will be the STAR, the attraction at the gym, playground, or just at home as people look at you cranking out pull-ups effortlessly that they wish they could do, and in some cases cannot even after years of trying. And so much more, my friend. So much more!! I could write a tome here, and it would not be enough – so in short – take what the last three courses taught you, and this is literally the ICING on that cake which makes everything so special and worth it. And we’re just getting started! Friend, this course is MORE than worth it’s weight in gold, silver and platinum, and with the plethora of, the treasure trove of SECRETS – just WAITING TO BE UNVEILED by you – the pithy amount of LESS than $50 I am charging for it is a STEAL. This LITERALLY IS one of those courses every serious, or even halfway serious fitness trainee simply must have sitting on their bookshelf!! Get it NOW! Best, Rahul Mookerjee

Book Description
If you’re a fitness fanatic, and are truly interested in getting your current levels of strength and conditioning – as well as overall fitness to skyrocket to NEW levels altogether, you’re at the right place! This little manual has something for everyone as it were. If you’re just starting out, and are 300 lbs and looking to DROP weight quick, then this book is a great, great add on to the 0 Excuses Fitness System available through my website. If you’re a seasoned trainee, and are looking to blast past personal best’s in pull-ups - - or handstand pushups - - and assuming you’ve read the manuals I’ve put out on these, you’ll find something that’ll help you here as well! If you’re a grip monster - - or core training fanatic - - I’ll bet you anything you’ll find some new and interesting reads in this book. And so forth. This book truly has something for EVERYONE when it comes to fitness, my friend. My name is Rahul Mookerjee, and I’ve been in the fitness biz for years now. My first book “Fast and Furious Fitness” (currently out of print, but I’m going to bring it back very soon indeed as a “collector’s item both on my website and on Amazon etc) was published in 2011, and it became an instant hit thereafter. Folks were getting tired of spending big bucks at gyms, and getting nowhere. Folks were getting tired of all the hype promised by personal trainers and “booby builders” (most of whom were on the juice) in the gym - - and getting very little in the way of actual muscle or results for the hours they spent in the gym. Not to mention the nagging injuries just kept piling up. The “shoulders that hurt when you lift your arm up”. The nagging lower back pain. Elbow trouble … and of course, wrist and neck pain galore. None of this improved to any great degree with the traditional training methods folks were being raised on, and Fast and Furious Fitness was a breath of fresh air in that regard. And now, I'm bringing you all these years of training and "wisdom" in an easy to digest "collated" format that you'll love - and want to read over and over and OVER again for motivation, inspiration, and information galore! What you’ll learn from these tips -Finger tip pushups, and what you really need to know about them! -Why the way your muscles “look” aren’t the most important – or even a little bit important. -The skinny on grip strength and building rock solid, coruscating levels of “kung fu” like grip strength. My manuals on grip training do a great job here ... and these tips are but the icing on the cake - - but a much needing icing! -The truth about calluses that most people will NOT tell you. -The one exercise combo that will give you explosive gains all over your upper body. Once you go this route, you’ll never go back … trust me! -Achieving the magic 500 in terms of pushups - - and more. -Getting to 500 UPHILL steps a day, and much, much more. -Why being on the heavy side isn't necessarily a disadvantage - and could even be considered an ADVANTAGE! This tip alone is worth it's weight in SPADES, my friend. -Facts on the handstand you likely never thought of, much less considered. -Why you aren't losing weight - despite seemingly doing all the right things. This one tip alone will boggle your mind - dive in, and you'll see what I mean! -How to work the legs with ... get this ... PUSHUPS! -How simple MOVEMENT done correctly can shed more fat than ever before -Can you save your own life if you had to? This little gem of a tip will get even the most seasoned of gym gorillas THINKING ... that is for sho! -What is the ideal length of time to exercise (hint - it's NOT what you've been told). And much, much more, my friend ... Dive in -- and be sure and write me back at [email protected] with your thoughts - we love hearing from YOU! Best, Rahul Mookerjee

Truth be told, I could charge you upwards of $100 for EACH of the fitness books, and you’d still get your money’s value and THEN SOME. Truth be told, even ONE of these tips by themselves is worth their worth in GOLD – spades – mucho dinero – what have you! And truth be told, the BENEFITS you’ll get from following even one of these tips far, far outweighs what you’ll get from following the “staid ole routines” at the gym for years!

Once you go this route, you’ll never go back … trust me! -How shorter workouts can be just as - - in fact, way more effective than the long, drawn out workouts you’ve been advised to do - - and how they benefit your HEALTH and MINDSET more than you could ever imagine! -How foreign devils in China workout - -and why these workouts are so brutally effective! Yet another one “for the books” as it were … -Why your breath is literally the most important thing you should focus upon during your exercise routine - - and how you can burn fat off your frame almost instantly once you start applying the right breathing techniques. Believe me - - THIS tip alone is something most folks would be happy to drop more than a hundred smackers on to learn! -You’ll learn about my much vaunted and much famous (all over the Internet) hill climb from China, and how it benefited me, and how similar workouts can benefit YOU! -You will learn how to get cardio workouts in like NEVER before – workouts that take less than 15 minutes, and leave you soaked in sweat, burning fat like never before and feeling on TOP of the world! -How to lose weight rapidly – and do it FAST.

Central Station
Swingin' on Central Avenue
Author: Peter Vacher
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0810888335
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
The development of jazz and swing in the African-American community in Los Angeles in the years before the second World War received a boost from the arrival of a significant numbers of musicians from Chicago and the southwestern states. In Swingin’ on Central: African-American Jazz in Los Angeles, a new study of that vibrant jazz community, music historian and jazz journalist Peter Vacher traveled between Los Angeles and London over several years in order to track down key figures and interview them for this oral history of one of the most swinging jazz scenes in the United States. Vacher recreates the energy and vibrancy of the Central Avenue scene through first-hand accounts from such West Coast notables as trumpeters Andy Blakeney , George Orendorff, and McLure “Red Mack” Morris; pianists Betty Hall Jones, Chester Lane, and Gideon Honore, saxophonists Chuck Thomas, Jack McVea, and Caughey Roberts Jr; drummers Jesse Sailes, Red Minor Robinson, and Nathaniel “Monk” McFay; and others. Throughout, readers learn the story behind the formative years of these musicians, most of whom have never been interviewed until now. While not exactly headliners—nor heavily recorded—this community of jazz musicians was among the most talented in pre-war America. Arriving in Los Angeles at a time when black Americans faced restrictions on where they could live and work, jazz artists of color commonly found themselves limited to the Central Avenue area. This scene, supplemented by road travel, constituted their daily bread as players—with none of them making it to New York. Through their own words, Vacher tells their story in Los Angeles, offering along the way a close look at the role the black musicians union played in their lives while also taking on jazz historiography’s comparative neglect of these West Coast players. Music historians with a particular interest in pre-bop jazz in California will find much new material here as Vacher paints a world of luxurious white nightclubs with black bands, ghetto clubs and after-hours joints, a world within a world that resulted from the migration of black musicians to the West Coast.

Perspectives on Keynesian Economics
Author: Arie Arnon
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642144098
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This book combines historical and policy-oriented perspectives on the relevance of the Keynesian approach for economic theory, policy, and crisis analysis. The first part focuses on historical, theoretical, and methodological issues, and puts them in context with current developments. The second part focuses on the application of the Keynesian approach to modeling the economy, policy-making, and analyzing the ongoing crisis of the early 21st century. Bringing together contributions by leading macroeconomists such as Laidler, Cukierman, Colander and Boyer, and leading historians of economics such as Hollander, Boianovsky, Marcuzzo, Dimand, Witztum, Young, deVroey and Arnon, the book offers a comprehensive overview of Keynesian economics today. One of the book’s most essential features are the commentaries on the papers, which promote a cross-fertilization between macroeconomists and historians of economics, providing, in conjunction with the papers themselves, a balanced outlook on the current relevance of Keynesian economics.

The second part focuses on the application of the Keynesian approach to modeling the economy, policy-making, and analyzing the ongoing crisis of the early 21st century. Bringing together contributions by leading macroeconomists such as Laidler, Cukierman, Colander and Boyer, and leading historians of economics such as Hollander, Boianovsky, Marcuzzo, Dimand, Witztum, Young, deVroey and Arnon, the book offers a comprehensive overview of Keynesian economics today. One of the book’s most essential features are the commentaries on the papers, which promote a cross-fertilization between macroeconomists and historians of economics, providing, in conjunction with the papers themselves, a balanced outlook on the current relevance of Keynesian economics.
