hi I have Grip and Rip 2.1, have been going at it for 4 weeks, I’m a physical therapist and play flag football, about week 3 of my season I could not do my shoulder figure 8 due to the fact I could not lift my arm past 45 degrees, think I dislocated my clavicle while bench pressing in a contest back in November…
tried a whole bunch of different movements, therapys you name it, the only thing that actually helped was something called total motion release… it was ok but just lifting my arm up ina military press motion made it pop to the side in a funny motion
I found that doing a military press while stepping forward with my left foot and rotating my torso to the left, tested the best so I started going with that, by my fourth workout I did 50lb DB for 5 reps and 8 sets…nothing to write home about but now I don’t feel like I have to quit playing my sport
and now I can do pull ups again, couldn’t due to shoulder, I finally know I am going to achieve my one arm pull up, when? when my body is ready for it, time does not matter now just the certainty that I will….
today I tested my broad jump, which I had not trained in around 4 months, due to ankle, hip and knee pain… got 297 cm on my fourth jump… regardless to say I’m really happy with that
funny story I saw both dvds yesterday again and when adam said, you watching the dvd test your food or something to that effect… I finally said fuck it…so I paused and went to find something in my kitchen…got an orange, a piece of bread and some meat, the meat and bread tested well so I made myself a sandwich…the orange was really bad so I said this guys are full of it on this one…
this morning I said I’ll eat my oranges(since I usually eat fruit in the morning), grabbed the orange and it just skwished, broke it open and it had some fungus inside…
now I’m sold on the food as well, next time I go shopping I don’t give a fuck what people think I’m testing every single thing that goes into my pie hole, even at restaurants
hell I hate twitter but monday after I go to the gym I’m getting my account
I already convinced the owner of the gym I go to about testing, and some of the other guys of my team started doing it, wait till they see my jump and they will be sold
of two things I am sure, I’m testing everything from now on, and I mean everything… and at the end of next season I’ll tweet how we finally got our flag football championship…
let me tell you this
THE MOVEMENT
has come to Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
glad to be in your tribe fellas
Santiago Gonzalez
PS.. now just to figure out how I’ll use this in my physical therapy practice, guess I’ll test with grip strength if a certain procedure is good for them and teach them the basics of doing the testing on their own
Note from Adam: This is a real person making real progress. Do not wait to put this in to action in your life, you will never go back to do things the same way again. The days of stale progress and nagging injury are over, if you haven’t heard hear it now.

It never gets old getting this type of comment or email.
I haven’t been testing my stances, grip, and hand position enough to find the optimal movements. Good article thank you for the reminder.
Yep, seeing people make massive progress is awesome! I can live off an email like this for about 1-2 weeks!
Rock on
