Why scapular strength and control is THE key to epic upper body strength greatness – and how to start adding it into your current routine immediately WITHOUT switching programs

How the old time strongmen and weightlifters – including the heavyweights – seamlessly blended their straight arm scapular strength (or SASS) training into their regular regimens – and went on to set records that went unbroken for decades (pages 6-8)

Is SASS training the strength world’s unsung “cheat code” to rapid upper body strength gains? It just might be.

The strength coach who led more Olympic hopefuls to win medals than ANY other coach in history tells of how he once coached two male former gymnasts in the bench press…and thanks to their bodyweight mastery, they went on to bench 360 lbs (160 kg) in just 3 weeks – unheard of levels of achievement for a lightweight AND newbie lifter.

Many believe that it’s simply because they were good at generating tension – but so are powerlifters, yet it takes most of them YEARS to reach those numbers. I strongly believe it’s because their straight arm scapular strength was so well developed that it allowed them to skip to the head of the line and reap the rewards of epic strength FASTER than anyone else (page 9)

Former UFC 2-division champion Conor McGregor’s movement coach reveals why SASS training leads to the fastest and most effective upper body strength improvements of all – and how it can make it easier for you to dominate at everything from iron training, martial arts, and even arm wrestling! (page 5)

The ‘Fab 5’ gymnastic tactics for conquering SASS strength in record time (hint: these also work like a charm for ANY kettlebell or calisthenics strength feat, and can be immediately applied to everything from military presses, pullups, squats, and more) (pages 13-14)

The ‘Core 4’ foundational straight arm calisthenics drills to get you kickin’ SASS and making gains in as quick as your first workout (pages 14-20)

The bodyweight staple that forms the foundation of gymnasts’ core routines and is a favorite of Hollywood action star Jason Statham for chiseling a rock-solid midsection and resilient flexibility – broken down into bite-sized variations to help you succeed no matter WHERE you’re starting from (pages 15, 16, and 24)

#1 hanging variation for a bulletproof upper back and STRONGER pullups (even if you can’t yet do a single rep). A favorite of Conor McGregor’s aforementioned movement coach and a staple in his and all of his students’ training regimens (page 17)

Shoulders kiII you when doing dips or other presses? This oddball back bridge variation just might be what you need to turn the tides back in your favor to forge epic upper body strength WITHOUT all the agony (the way it works is by strengthening your shoulders in the LEAST trained position while simultaneously stretching your stiff biceps and shoulders and, of course, increasing your scapular strength) (page 18)

The most effective (and possibly LEAST known) handstand variation that almost ANYONE can do as your feet never even have to leave the ground (Pavel is a fan of these and so was the late, great fitness legend Jack LaLanne – the man who even defeated a young Ah-nuld Schwarzenegger in a pushup and pullup contest while in his late 40s!)

How one man DOUBLED his pullup and dip numbers – without doing a single rep of either exercise – simply by doing 2 minutes of cumulative straight arm strength practice per day. I show you how starting on page 21.

3 ways to turn a simple broom handle into a secret weapon for rotational power and athletic might (legend has it that the great Bruce Lee used this drill daily as a way of training his waist to become a high-performance engine for freakish punching and kicking power) (page 28)

The 3 Key “un-PC” programming elements to rapidly speed up your straight arm strength so quickly it’ll feel like you’re cheating (pages 21-22)

A bountiful bevvy of progressions for each of the movements – so you can meet your strength where it is currently and take it to new and dazzling heights at your own pace – no rush, no fuss, and no excessive stress (pages 24-25)

A movement prep routine fit for a king, including dirt cheap solutions to thorny problems holding back your kettlebell progress, like shoulder mobility – FIXED with a household cleaning item in record time (the last man on early to military press DOUBLE his bodyweight, Phil Grippaldi, swore by the movement I show you on the bottom of page 27 for effortless shoulder mobility)

4 epic options for implementation of this challenge to help you crush weakness and forge bold new strength even if you’re so busy you think you couldn’t possibly fit in a single extra moment of movement throughout your day (one of the options is my personal favorite, and is a “non-program” approach to programming that ironically works BETTER than most programming styles out there) (pages 28-29)

A 21-day routine to catapult your strength over the seemingly impenetrable stone walls blocking your path – giving you the keys to the kingdom of old school, epic upper body power and might (pages 32-42)
