I’d like to introduce you to CoreForce Energy Negative Rep Sets for super strength which will make most cry like a little girl - that is if you can even make it to the end of these
One of the most difficult things in developing super strength is to recruit All your muscle fibers. As you probably already know, the more muscle fibers that you can contract All at the same time and to their fullest extent, the greater physical strength it will eventually spur - as long as you allow for adequate recuperation, regeneration, and adequate nutritional sustenance.
In CoreForce Energy, I contend that you engage every fiber of your brain to fire the necessary electrical synapses to make this happen - because muscles don’t do them by themselves. So best to learn the most intelligent and powerful ways.
But I offer and dedicate this powerful muscle building set to those who not only want to build their brains but to those who would rather build mindless muscle - those who think strength is in their muscles - not in developing powerful vibrational force with their brains. Both will build incredible strength with this set either way and for most. I’ll let you guess which group will excel every time.
Here’s how you start the CoreForce Energy Negative Rep Set. Choose a weight where you can do only five or six negative reps counting down from the top of the negative to the bottom - a count of 5. Try as hard as you can to do more than six reps until your will breaks to keep that negative rep count at 5. I usually do my exercises using only one limb at a time so the other can help in hoisting my body or weight into place to begin the negative sets.
There will be a point where your will breaks. It’s always the mind first. At that point is where CoreForce Energy Negative Rep Sets depart from other negative set routings.
Most will have you quit after you can’t do any more reps with the same count. But, believe me, you have a LOT more in you than quitting now.
Once you know in your heart you can’t do a single more negative rep with a count of 5 is where you know the rule of the CoreForce Energy Negative Rep Set is that you will do one negative rep counting down 6. Yes, painful and you’re increasing the count instead of reducing it! But You’ve still a long way to go to tear the muscle up as well as test your character and will.
After that rep of six, you reduce the reps to counting off 4 counts. The mind and body feel a little relief by this jump. Do as many of those until your will begins to wain. It should be screaming at this point to “Stop!”. You ain’t done my Friend.
Only when you know in your heart you can’t count off 4 counts that you reduce the next to 3. Your muscles will be searing with pain and their voices will sound like an entire choir loudly in your head. That’s a good thing. You’re developing the will to survive brutal torture that will build real muscular strength fast as well as inspire you to extent the limits of your will every time.
That voice inside your head will be signaling you to stop this nonsense and will be rationalizing why exerting less strength for more reps will induce greater strength gains. I hope you shut that stupidity off.
There’s no quitting or crying now little girl! You’ve come way to far in developing raw strength and will. Forge ON!
When you can not longer talk yourself into negative rep countdowns of 3, you begin counting 2’s until you break again.
Most will have quit by this point, but if you want to join the elite club of strength builders, you will continue doing negative reps of 1.
Only then will you know that you fatigued your muscles and will to their core. You will hardly be able to lift yourself up. Your heart will certainly be pounding like you’ve done hill sprints. But for sure, a smile will come on your face because you know you’ve pushed yourself far beyond the limits you would ever go doing any other kind of set.
To me the gym is for building character and an unstoppable will as well as building maximum muscle strength. CoreForce Energy Negative Rep Sets will give you both. Sure pretty muscles look good on the beach and I’m all for that. But if I’m ever in a pinch, I don’t want to rely on kicking sand in an adversary’s face, I’d rather throw a Mac Truck at them.

I feel developing resilient steel in your muscles and tendons is a very worthy goal so that you have strength and flexibility at any angle - at any age. Sadly too many people treat stretching and muscle strength training as two separate subjects.
But, in fact, if you begin training with the goal in mind of achieving muscles of resilient steel, you’ll find yourself immediately and dramatically increasing your strength gains, flexibility, and while preventing many injuries that come from traditional stretching techniques.
People often ask me if CoreForce Energy can dramatically improve their stretching ability as well as their strength. The answer is a resounding “Yes” and it works extremely fast. You can hear for yourself below from a testimonial from an exceptional strength coach who has worked for the Danish National Elite Sports and has worked with nationally and internationally ranked athletes from various sports.
Like many others, he had asked me how CoreForce Energy could help him with his stretching. Within a few minutes and late at night with no warm-up, he achieved a “life goal” using the principles of CoreForce Energy.
He went into a deep deep stretch and seemed to be savoring it as if he never wanted to come out of it. When he finally came up, his eyes were wide as saucers and he had a huge childlike grin on his face.
Here’s what he accomplished within minutes of me explaining the CoreForce Energy stretching concepts - and this is within minutes after having made slow gains for years doing it the old traditional ways :
He and his wife are both exceptional athletes. We became friends after Karsten himself purchased the CoreForce Energy course he took advantage of the personal coaching that is all free when you buy the course where we not only did phone and video conference calls, but where I even created private instructional webpages for him - just like I do for the many clients who contact me.
Stretching the way most people do with static stretching can actually decrease your strength and power and also can increase the risk of injury. This isn’t just what I say - it’s what scientists have discovered.
When Karsten and his wife were recently in Las Vegas here’s what he had to say about what he learned about stretching - doing it the CoreForce Energy way.
“As I watched the CoreForce Energy DVD’s and subsequently implemented the principles in my training, I experienced the tremendous effects CoreForce Energy has on your strength. Very often I get 3-5 reps more with the same weight – with less effort!
I remembered thinking: I wonder if CoreForce Energy can improve your flexibility as well? I got the answer, when my wife and I were visiting Garin and Vanessa a couple of months ago. The answer is a big YES! CoreForce Energy can dramatically improve flexibility as well. Garin coached me to a 20 % improvement in side splits - which I have practiced a lot through the years - all in 15 minutes. This was 10 0’clock in the evening and with no warm up.
Also in the case of stretching, the principles of CoreForce Energy unlocked the potential of my body effortlessly. The key were the very special mental pictures that I haven’t heard of before – these mental images may seem odd at first, but you quickly find out that this way of stretching delivers results quickly and with no pain what so ever.”

I have never suffered from the debilitating syndrome called carpal tunnel precisely because of the techniques I share with you in my Finger Gymnastics course. These principles that make my hands extremely powerful and dextrous come from my years experience I’ve gained throughout my lifetime as a concert pianist, magician, martial artist, powerlifter, and all-round exercise aficionado.
Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve which runs from the forearm into the hand becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. It can be very painful to say the least. Unfortunately, I see so many people these days wearing these unsightly wrist braces that will supposedly help cure the pain. So far, there is not one person that I’ve asked that has told me that the wrist brace enabled them to go without it and has cured the pain.
I meet thousands of people each week who come up to me all the time after my concerts and ask me how I protect my hands and also why I have such ferociously strong fingers to play like I do while also being able to do two finger pushups without injuring myself. The answers lie precisely in the principles and techniques I teach in both CoreForce Energy and Finger Gymnastics.
Trying to mask the symptoms of carpal tunnel is not the answer - because if you’re gong to go right back to doing the very things that caused it in the first place, you’ll go right back to the pain zone out of pure ignorance. Through my years of practicing 8 to 13 hours a day to win 13 international piano and magic competitions, I have acquired and developed some some powerful exercises and techniques that can help you not only strengthen your hands far beyond any other devices or techniques but to make them dexterous and safe from the pain of carpal tunnel.
These techniques came not only from those two disciplines but from knowledge gained throughout all those very years from training in martial arts, powerlifting, and sculpting all at the same time. That’s a lot of wear and tear on the hands and wrists to have never been injured. I tell you these things not to boast but to show you I walk my talk and that you too can have the same knowledge to protect your hands and to make them insanely powerful and fast.
In drilling my hands relentlessly that many hours and for years on end, I know what I’m talking about from pure experience. Since I make my living doing all of the above, I can’t afford to be injured and can’t afford to be performing wearing one of those ridiculous wrist braces. So you if you want to really know the scoop from someone who not only walks their own talk but who knows from years of testing and experimenting - listen up.
I know exactly what works through years and years and hours a day of throwing out the bad and keeping the good. Not only do I know precisely how to get maximum muscular strength and dexterity from the hands - free from tension, but I know that seating position in height and distance away from a computer, keyboard, or whatever is critical to your success.
Seating position is one of the most important things you should know about to protect the hands from carpal tunnel and to keep it away forever. You need to get it right so your energy flows from the top of your head down to your shoulders. Any break in that energy and pressure on meridians or pressure points themselves constantly throughout the day with your wrists in seemingly harmless positions can bring you severe pain that will reoccur until you know how to stop the endless cycle.
Most people are not even aware that the very way they sit most of the time is draining their energy, their creativity, and frighteningly lessening their strength and dexterity. They live with tension and pain and almost begin accepting that “normal”.
For years, I would experiment sitting at the piano low, high, faraway, close - in every imaginable way. I would move the bench fractions of an inch to find that every new position would have a dramatic consequence that would either strengthen or weaken my abilities. I was in search of how I could sit an play with effortless energy, strength, speed, dexterity, and keep my hands free from tension and injury. These very techniques are what I use to demonstrate raw power in martial arts and strength exercises.
This is why in my course Finger Gymnastics, I teach you precisely how to sit and give you exercises that not only strengthen but give you freedom from movement to move from the entire body - so your power doesn’t come from just the fingers and wrists - but from the entire body and spirit moving as one. That is the way you not only exude the best sound as a musician and artist, but what enables you to produce the maximum power in all that you do.
In my next installment I will tell you how, just with fingertip strength, I effortlessly tossed a 235 pound black belt in jujitsu off his fighting stance 7 feet backwards. I used only my fingertips and no wind up or telegraphing in any way.
Learn how to flow your energy like a chi master, sit properly, while exhibiting extreme fingertip power, by checking out Finger Gymnastics and CoreForce Energy. Both these courses teach you how to move effortlessly with super strength, power, and speed - while helping to keep you injury free like myself.

In the intense coverage on the training and personal lives of the Olympic athletes, one of the things you discover when you listen closely is how massage and recovery are just as important as the actual physical training regimes. It’s down to a science and is taken very seriously. Many athletes have personal massage therapists to make sure the tiniest of kinks are massaged out several times a day.
Without putting importance to this, they know there is no chance for Gold. Even the slightest tension will hinder peak performance physically and mentally. Milliseconds are what win Gold medals and attention to minute details such as every aspect of relaxation is also scrutinized very closely in Olympic training.
Some Olympians are lucky to have even two full-time therapists to make sure optimal muscular strength, body energy, and mental focus are flowing without hinderance.
Of course, most of us “civilians” are lucky to have a massage once a month if even that. Most spas and therapists charge an arm and a leg just for that one massage. To even consider hiring full-time massage therapists would break most people’s bank account. So if have neither the money or time to do this and we still want to achieve Gold in our daily lives, what do we do?
If you’re not lucky enough to be married to a massage therapist like I am, then it’s certainly much harder to get in the “Gold zone” like Olympic athletes and other top performers.
Think back to how fantastic you feel when you’ve had a massage and how every cell in your body feels ready to exude maximum execution of movement and concentration. I’m sure most of you have thought, “Wow, just think of what I could do if I had this every day!”
Other than the cost, I know many of you simply can’t afford the time with work, family, and workouts all demanding attention. But, recovery and relaxation are musts to think clearly and to make certain the body has recuperated from workouts before you pile on more pain and tension creating layers upon layers of damaged muscle tissue and injuries. Both the body and mind need recovery time - clearing time, rejuvenation time, breathing time.
A great massage can certainly speed up clearing your mind from senseless chatter and thoughts that contain little focus that play over and over creating undue tension. But something easy you can do to help clear your mind is to take frequent and scheduled breathing, meditation, or “intention breaks” and to make certain that the sounds that are coming into your brain aren’t accumulating debilitating tensions.
I’ve installed a program on my computer that plays incredible scenery and sounds of nature from all around the world - from underwater tropical reefs, to the snow blowing over the Alps, to crickets in grassy meadows with horses.
At work and the gym throughout the day, you can hardly go anywhere without hearing some kind of music, chatter, industrial sounds, and freeway noise. We tell ourselves we don’t hear it. But believe me, scientists will tell you that it’s influencing your psyche and body mechanics in ways we’d hardly think possible. Usually those sounds add to the tension instead of taking away.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, your mind adjusts to the tempo of your surroundings - hence the science of music manipulation that is crafted to influence the unconscious psyche. Scientists have found that classical music played in malls decreases violence and theft. Music with tempos at 60 beats per minute slow your heart rate down. The list goes on and on.
All kinds of music is crafted and logged into specific playlists to relax you and make you more likely to buy because of your relaxed mood in groceries stores and malls.
But, just as music influences, so can the screeching of tires, motor engines, and whirs of city traffic. Pointless chatter in the office can decrease your concentration on work just as easily. These outside “tension influencers” begin encouraging shallow tight breaths day in and day out and other tensions that affect our speech, our handwriting, our choice of words, to the quick tiring of muscular strength and speed.
We’re being influence whether we’re aware of it or not. So why not be in charge and start taking back your mental focus with quick breathing breaks - quick meditation breaks away from all the endless tensions that come through the tiny vibrations inside your inner ear?
