How To Increase Resistance on Hindu Squats, Hindu Pushups and Bridging without using Weights or Having a Partner Sit on You

In India the wrestlers put cement rings around their necks. I have a better way.

by Matt Furey
When I got good at doing 500 Hindu squats in a row, Karl Gotch had me get 20 pounds of sand, pour it into a heavy cloth bag and tie it around my neck. "You ain't gonna like this old man too much after you do this one," said Karl. "It's not just to make it harder on your legs. It's to improve your balance." I did as Karl asked and 500 Hindu squats did not come easy. I had to take a few breaks to make it.

A sandbag around the neck is a much nicer method than the way some of the Hindu wrestlers train in India. They use a cement ring. Their method is effective - but it's also abrasive to the skin. If there were a method that was even better than the cement ring or the sandbag - you'd jump on it, wouldn't you?

Well, I have good news. It's a product manufactured by my friends at Lifeline USA. They call it the Portable Power Jumper. I call it the Portable Power Blitzer.

Here's why: The Portable Power Jumper was designed for adding resistance to things like jump squats, lunges and running. While you have the rubber cable around your waist, someone holds onto stirrups from behind and you take him for a ride.

Sort of like the way former NFL running back Herschel Walker ran sprints while dragging a tire around. Did it help him run faster and harder? Well, he won a Heisman Trophy, didn't he?

Now, let's say you're a wrestler. You can have someone hold you back as you shoot in on an imaginary opponent. This will increase speed and explosiveness. And if you're not a wrestler, you can do the same drill to strengthen your hips and thighs. You can also do Hindu squats with it. Believe me, if you can get 500-straight Hindu squats the first time you put this puppy on, then you are the Bionic Man. You ain't a gonna do it. It's incredibly hard to even get 100-straight.

Okay, so why do I call it a Portable Power Blitzer? Because, while trying for a week to figure out how Lifeline could create a device that would add resistance to Hindu pushups and bridging, one evening, while watching a chop socky Kung Fu movie, the switch went on. Voila! I had it.

They didn't need to create a new product for those exercises. They already had the product.

Testing my idear, I slapped the Blitzer around my neck and hooked myself into the stirrups. I got on all fours and did some Hindu pushups. At first it didn't feel like it added much, but after 25, I found out how wrong I was.

Then I laid on my back, crossed the stirrups at the ankles, which made an 'X' in my crotch (didn't hurt either, thank God), and I arched back and tried to bridge. Oh, my. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. This was the ticket. I felt my lower back muscles working like mad. As well as my neck, legs and buttocks. It was a full body workout and I got it without having to ask people to add weight by sitting astride my chest.

There are other exercises you can do the the Portable Power Blitzer, and you'll find them in the handy reference manual that comes FREE when you place your order RIGHT NOW. Only $44.95 plus S&H U.S.

This product is a winner. Use it and you WILL BE, TOO.
