About the Author. One day, a little over a decade ago, I got a call from someone named John Brookfield, who introduced himself as a professional strongman. John said he had heard that we sold heavy-duty hand grippers, and since he was something of a grip specialist and had set the goal for himself of developing the world's strongest set of hands, he wanted to get some of our grippers. John went on to become the second person in the world we officially recognized as having closed our No. 3 Captains of Crush gripper, but much more than that, he has established himself in our minds as a foremost authority on grip training. Of course, John is no armchair expert, as he comfortably inhabits the top echelons in the principal forms of grip strength, and without question he also has uncanny wrist strength: quite simply, John is the best in the world that we know of when it comes to bending short objects, such as spikes. John has put on countless shows in his professional strongman career, and in a field that has had more than one charlatan, John is the real McCoy. Despite all of his accomplishments in the strength world, there are three other things that immediately come to mind when I think of John Brookfield. First, John is absolutely one of the most creative minds you will ever run into when it comes to grip training, and while some people are content to pursue a monkey-see-monkey-do approach, or to gripe instead of grip, or to talk instead of train, John is always out there developing something new and is steadily training, training, training. This passion, we have always felt, is one of the real secrets to John's success, and through this book on advanced grip training, as he did with Mastery of Hand Strength and Training with Cables for Strength, John will share many of his ideas with you. When you read The Grip Master's Manual, you have a rare chance to learn from someone who knows what he's talking about and who practices what he preaches. Second, when he comes up with something new, John doesn't require a million dollar budget for his equipment, and I have kidded him that for a guy who gets so much use from duct tape, he should get a fat advertising contract from a big tape manufacturer. The good news here is that you won't have to break your budget to train the Brookfield way, so lack of money will never be an excuse for you. Third, John has the integriry to admit\ hen he wrong, as he did about originally saying that it was impo ible to bur t oda or beer cans. Realizing that it could it be done, he himself became extremely proficient at it-and he'll tell you how to do it here. I feel thi peaks volum about John's character, and makes it even easier for us to tip our hats in John's direction . Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable, because as we've always said, John will make you feel as if you're sitting around the kitchen table talking to him, and get ready to take your grip to new heights by putting his ideas to work in your own training. Best of luck. Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. President IronMind Enterprises, Inc. Nevada City, California. ...
