After my first few months I started with something fairly similar. My fingers would just ache, making gripping difficult. What I found worked beautifully was to stop focusing so much on pulling with my arms/hands and began to focus more on contracting the lats and following this contraction with a p...

Thanks Tom. I found it. I printed it. And as soon as I'm done with this note I'll begin the process of devouring it. Thanks again.<br><br>Mark

I thank you as well for the link. I accessed it and printed it out to read last night. Now, I'm intrigued. I'd like to put this info to use but am uncertain how to do it. I understand the 4 levels and all but how do you implement them. does anyone out there have a training schedule similar to the Wo...
