Almost four years ago to the day, we had the photo shoot for Jon Bruney’s awesome book, Neuro-Mass. It was and still is probably the most challenging photoshoot I’ve ever experienced–with two days of some of the most difficult and creative strength moves I’d seen at the time. The incomparable RKC Team Leader, PCC Instructor, and shredded ab-monster Matt Maher was on that shoot and frankly defied gravity a few times too.
More talk about that book later, but that shoot was the first time I’d ever seen those infamous Neuro-Grip pushup handles. Four years ago we only had the prototypes which if you look super close in the book you can see that they are handmade and a little rough hewn. The first generation of them that was offered by Dragon Door was cast from solid aluminum and had this crazy tuning-fork like CLANG if you happened to smack ’em together or strike them on the ground even slightly. Thankfully the next version (and the ones that are currently being sold on Dragon Door) were further improved, they’re made from steel, the larger tubing "handle" part being heavy gauge but hollow so you can still put them in a backpack without THAT being the workout. Since they aren’t cast, they don’t have a mold mark either, which after high reps you’ll appreciate…
