Hey Folks,

My name is Ryan Murdock. I contributed one of the sections on excercise and wellness to the latest edition of Raise Your Voice. Jaime asked me to post the copy and link for my latest project over here because he felt it would be of use to his readers.

Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers,
Ryan


Beyond Pushups

While gross motor movements like pushups are great for General Physical Preparedness (GPP), if you want to take your athleticism to the next level you must sophisticate your training. Join Coach Murdock as he takes apart this seemingly simple exercise and cranks out variations that you never thought possible.

Real World Strength

The exercise progression in this web tutorial will give you:


* functional upper body strength and stamina
* phenomenal levels of wrist strength
* greater ability to transfer force through the upper body architecture
* sport specific performance enhancement for athletics, martial arts, and contact sports
* thicker wrists, stronger shoulders and arms, and a more shapely chest
* a creative and intense way to train without equipment and with little space

Coach Murdock is known among the RMAX Faculty for his freakish levels of wrist strength. In this video tutorial he reveals how he built it, and he presents movements that leave even Coach Sonnon shaking his head with disbelief.

You’ve gotta try it to believe it!!!

These are some of the very same movements that Coach Murdock takes with him on the road when he has limited training space and no access to equipment. That wrist strength has saved his ass on more occasions than he can count – while dragging reluctant camels down a precipitous rocky gorge in Arabia, when hauling himself to safety on the windswept sea cliffs of Donegal, and in several more incidents that he’s not at liberty to discuss on a public forum.

If it’s real world strength you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. These movements have been tested in some of the world’s most unforgiving regions.

Plug These Into Any Type of Training Cycle!

For those of you who are already immersed in Circular Strength Training®, you can plug any of these movements into other CST programs – things like 4x7 cycles, Coach Sonnon’s metabolic conditioning (metcon) circuits, or Density Cycles. Just be sure to follow Coach Murdock’s progression first so that you build the necessary base of strength to ensure injury-free training.

"I’ve been doing push ups since I was 4 and I thought I’d seen every type in the world, but I learned something new the day I watched this." Joseph Wilson, RMAX Faculty Coach, multiple time International Martial Art Hall of Fame inductee, professional law enforcement officer.

I should also add that the exercises presented in this tutorial are excellent for those recovering from rsi and carpal tunnel problems because they strengthen the wrist in all possible ranges. Just be sure that you've alleviated your condition with joint mobility and compensatory movements before moving on to this sort of strengthening regime.

We'll have a comprehensive article on recovering from carpal tunnel in the next issue of RMAX Magazine. Look for it online near the end of June.

Thanks for posting! I'll look into it

Everyone should really check out Ryan's stuff. He is AMAZING at training people to build muscle and flexibility. He also helped me build vocal-flow.com and he is currently creating the VocalFlow cardio/yoga system for singers!

Thank you amigos.

I've just uploaded a couple teasers to youtube so you can get a sense of what the program looks like. But don't be put off by these - this isn't the beginning level stuff. It IS accessible to anyone.
