Help with Bruiser.

[Rich_Hav]

I was lucky enough to receive a bruiser for christmas.

The thing is it is very HEAVY. As anyone who has worked with it already knows.

My question is what is the best way to start using it. I started working on swings so far. That is the only thing I could think of doing with it.

Can anyone make any suggestions. Please.

Thanks for any help you can give.
Peace
Rich

I'm jealous. Someday I'll get one 8) & when I do I'm also going to get the book that shows all the exercises. I think there are routines for every level. If I'm going to spend money on the tool, I'm going to get the owners manual so I can get the most out of it.

Take care, Steve

I do have the ABC manual. It is awesome.

I'm really just curious about the path people who have already become skilled in the lifting of the bruiser took.

Any suggestions that might move things along more rapidly.

Hope you get one soon. It is a monster.
Peace

Rich,
Anobolic Bruiser conditioning should be worked up to slowly. Going to fast with poor form can lead to injury. Start with swings, side swings, follwed by side semis. The add cleans; CTO, side clean to guard.

Make sure you have good form and proper grip protocol as outlined in Dougs book on using the 45lber.

Once your proficiency at swings and cleans becomes great, the next logical step would be to try some pendulum swings, followed by learning clockwork squats and some of the simpler casts.

Proper grip and proper technique goes a long way. It is easy to overcompensate with your stronger arm when using two arms to lift, so be careful not to do that. Use good form
