by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2005
IronMind® has pointed out that Brad Johnson is redefining the world of bodyweight training and if you have any second thoughts about this man's hand and arm strength, read Brad's latest column and give this movement a try: pull-ups while hanging onto baseballs or softballs.
When you're at Brad Johnson's achievement level, it might seem hard to envision the struggles taking place several levels lower, but one of the things that shows Brad's depth of understanding and his ability as a teacher/coach is the way he explains how you can begin your journey with modest versions of what he demonstrates so easily. Brad Johnson gives you the method to master this movement, as he guides you toward greater proficiency.
