The World's Best Hand & Grip Strength Training Instruction
"Turn Your Training Upside Down..."
And Build Incredible Upper Body Strength and
Power with The Lost Art of Hand-Balancing
Despite the recent surge in popularity of bodyweight training, I find a curious lack of one form of training that I was sure would be making a
comeback in a big way.
What I am talking about is the lost art of hand-balancing which used to be a big part
of the training routines of many of the greatest strength names of the 20th century: Otto Arco, Bert Goodrich, John C. Grimek,
Joe Gold (founder of the famous Gold's Gym), Sig Klein, Jack LaLanne, Steve Reeves, Armand Tanny, Ottley Coulter...
The list of strength Hall of Famers who were also hand-balancing experts goes on and on.
The art of hand-balancing, of course, goes back centuries before that. Even a hundred years
ago, the famous "Old Time Strongmen" were known for much more than their ability for hefting heavy weights.
They were the proverbial "Jacks of all trades," when it came to feats strength and skill.
Sure barbells and dumbbells were a part of their training, but they were also masters of boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and several other components of
old time physical culture.
Many were as adept at performing bodyweight feats as well as they were at lifting any barbell.

Develop Power, Flexibility and Athleticism
They could easily do press-ups, handstand dips, tiger bends, planches, one arm handstands, walking on their hands and
other impressive handbalancing feats. Combining hand balancing and other forms of bodyweight training along with
correct progressive weight work led to a level of physical development unmatched in today's world, despite modern advancements.
Speaking of "modern," it is truly amazing
how such simple and valuable training information such as the art of hand-balancing, can fall by the wayside yet that is exactly what has
happened...
Suitable step-by-step
information and illustrations are and have been woefully lacking. You will find very little, if any, modern sources on
hand-balancing available anywhere... until NOW that is.
Builds Strength in Ways That No Barbell Can Touch
In 1930, Strength Legend George Jowett
wrote this about hand-balancing:
'No doubt you will have noticed that invariably all hand
balancers have splendidly formed arms and each has a
firm powerful hand clasp.
I have found that hand balancers on the whole have a
more perfectly formed arm - particularly the forearms
and wrist- than the weight lifter.
The hand balancer employs the hand and wrist much
more than does the lifter of weights and what is more
interesting, he employs the arm muscles as well as the
grip in many unusual ways- ways not possible to the
exercise fans who handle weights only.
No doubt knowledge of this diversified method of
development is what makes the mass of European
strength athletes so partial to the practice of hand
balancing.
The average American strength athlete could practice
this valuable pastime of hand balancing more consistently
than he does.'
Jowett was one of the strongest men of all time; he would know... Of course, it should be
obvious that the incredible wrist power and stability built from hand-balancing would be very valuable for EVERY athlete.
The Perfect Program: anytime, anywhere, and with no equipment
The two biggest complaints that we hear from folks who would love to begin a program but haven't yet are: a) I don't have room for equipment, and
b) I don't have time to go to the gym. No need to worry about those excuses EVER again.
Thanks to strength author, historian, and publisher Bill Hinbern, the lost art of hand-
balancing lives again. You probably know Bill Hinbern best because of his high-quality
reprints of classic training guides (some of which are available on
this page).
