The secret weapon strongmen have used to add inches to their arms and perform unbelievable feats of strength is now in your hands.

What secret weapons am I talking about? Hand strength. I am talking about freaky thumb, finger, wrist and arm power that allows a man to twist steel and lift hundreds of pounds with one hand and even one finger.

My name is Adam T Glass and I want to share with you my passion. If you take this information and apply it you will develop incredible power and take your physique to a new level.

For the last decade of my life I have devoted my time and effort to building grip, hand, and wrist strength. This pursuit has rewarded me with a pair of hands that allow me to do amazing feats of strength and a carry over to all other athletic endeavors.

Not only have I learned the keys to grip strength, I have trained hundreds of people to achieve these results to smash their goals and best their old lifts. Now I will teach you.

Before I tell you more about my methods, I want to tell you how I got started.

Where it all Began

When I was in high school I developed an interest in grip strength from wrestling. Any wrestling match can be described as a contest to win hand control in order to score take downs and pinning combinations. It is very clear, the man with the better grip is at the advantage to win the match.

In the beginning I found very little help in building my grip. I asked my coaches how to get stronger hands, they asked me to squeeze a tennis ball. Well squeezing a tennis ball may sound like a good idea but it didn’t do much for me.

I found a book online which described methods of old time circus strongmen. I honestly found the descriptions of their feats of strength to be over the top. I thought at the time they were exaggerated accounts and dismissed many of them. What I did do (thankfully!) was keep an open mind and try out some of the training.

For several years I dabbled in grip training, mostly some thick bar deadlifting and gripper work with my Ivanko Super Gripper. Most of my time was devoted to heavy partials and body weight training.

The turning point in my training..

In 2006 I focused heavily on grip training. It started with my interest in steel bending. I was stuck in an extended deployment to Iraq and I found myself getting bored with my standard workouts of kettlebell movements and deadlifting. I needed something fresh to sink my teeth in to.

Dennis & I in 2008

I purchased a DVD by world famous strongman Dennis Rogers and was blown away. Here was this man, who looked small and old, who could do absolutely amazing things with his hands. I was fascinated by the DVD. I had two thoughts, either this is fake or this is real. If it is fake it is very entertaining, but if its real then there is no reason why I can’t do the same things.

I started bending steel bars that month. Within a few months I had bent the famous IronMind Red Nail and moved up to tougher stock. I started to get crazy and was bending pieces of rebar and steel in all sorts of ways. I loved the challenge of the steel bending, and I found my strength growing and growing.

When I returned stateside I got in to all kinds of grip training. I lifted weights with one finger, I pinched weights and lifted them in all sorts of manner. I began experimenting with all sorts of different grip devices to tax the hands from all angles.

My feats of strength grew and grew. I could slam nails through a 2X4 with one blow of my fist, I could lift 400 lbs with my middle finger, I could twist stout draft horse shoes in seconds. By the end of 2008 I had gained international attention through out the grip community as one of the best benders of short bars and horseshoes. Many people said I was the best in the world at ripping decks of poker cards in half. I searched for more and more information, but found myself frustrated by the lack of quality products to train these lifts.

By the end of 2009 I had accomplished every grip goal I had set from when I started. I could slam a #3 Captain of Crush gripper in either hand, I could pinch lift the famous Blob with either hand. I could one hand deadlift well over 550 lbs. I was able to bend some of the toughest steel bars at chest level in all three styles. I looked for new challenges.

24lb Sledge with Spikes

One of the challenges I decided upon was training other people to do this. I wrote dozens of articles, filmed over 30 instructional videos and did hundreds of posts on various internet forums to promote my love of grip and hand strength.

The messages came back to me fast. Men from all over the world were making huge progress from the information I provided them. Many people told me they felt inspired to start grip training from watching me “grow up” into the world of hand strength. I found I enjoyed training others even more than I did training myself.

Taking it to the next level

In 2010, I was honorably discharged from the United States Air Force after 9 years of service and immediately got to work to train others full time. During this time I also decided to try my hand at the competitive side of grip sport.

In August 2010, I competed in the 4-leg “Worlds Strongest Hands Series” which is the largest grip contest ever thrown with nearly 100 competitors in 4 countries. During this time I broke the world record in the 2” vertical bar one hand dead lift with a competition lift of 336 lbs. When all the dust settled I finished 11th in the world and was the 4th best American in the series.

I tell you all of this not to brag or boost. I share my story with you so that you know a single truth: you are about to learn grip training from someone who lives grip strength. Plain and simple, when we talk about who to listen to in grip, I am acknowledged by all sides as someone who walks the walk and knows whats up. I want to take this lost skill set to the masses, I want to see my sport expand, and most importantly I want to see YOU succeed.

World Record V-Bar Deadlift

I built the Industrial Strength Grip DVD as an entry level product for anyone looking to add inches to their arms and forearms and seriously increase their hand strength and power. This DVD will take you through the core exercises and drills along with the methods to make maximum gains in minimal time.

Is Industrial Strength Grip for me?

This DVD is made to educate beginners and intermediate athletes and lifters on the foundation of grip strength.

Do you want the following?

• Bigger arms?
• Thicker wrist and forearm tendons?
• Stronger fingers?
• Plier like thumb strength?
• A grip that never fails you during a big lift or pull?
• The foundation for incredible feats of strength?
• A programing system that allows you to break a Personal Record every time you lift?

If you want any of these, then ISG is for you.

There is one exception. While I would like to think I have something to offer to everyone, this product may not be appropriate for advanced grip athletes.

If you can do all of the following feats you do not need this DVD

• Close a Captain of Crush #3 with both left and right hand.
• Pinch lift the blob with both left and right hand.
• Plate curl a 20kg plate.
• Overhand deadlift over 350 lbs on a 2″ axle.
• Pinch lift 2 45’s with one hand.

If you can do all those, you are not the target audience for ISG Volume 1.

Now, if you CAN’T easily do all of those, but you WANT to: Keep reading.

What do I need to apply this program?

One of my goals was to bring you a method using minimal specialized equipment to succeed. I do demonstrate many of the most popular grip devices on the market, but this program can be done with a single barbell and weight set.

How would you like to add an inch to your arms in the next 8 weeks?

Modern training systems have left a massive hole in your physique. While there are plenty of bigger arm fast programs, they are all the same old combination of curls and tricep extensions. The musculature of the arms begins at the finger tips. Adding pinch, crush, support, and levering will result in huge gains in your forearms and upper arms FAST. Most men who I train will add over 1” to their forearms the first 6 weeks and a whole inch to their upper arms in 8 weeks.

Stop for one second. Look at your forearms and arms. What would it be like to have an additional inch of high density muscle tissue added on?

It would look awesome, that’s what it would look like.

Throwing down the gauntlet

There is no product like Industrial Strength Grip on the market. No one else has laid out the foundation of grip training as I have here. No mystery, no inner circle mumbo jumbo, no wasting time.

In this 60 minute DVD I am going to lay out the plan for you to dramatically change your hands and arms forever. It’s simple, you get the DVD, you watch the DVD, you apply the information, and you reap huge rewards.

I will cover over 40 exercises which address all areas of grip and hand strength. I will show you approaches using both minimal equipment and how to use some of the more popular grip tools.

Most importantly, I am going to teach you how to make progress with your training every single day and never get hurt.
