Dan Cenidoza Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) Listen up everybody, I just finished reading George Jowett's "Unrevealed Secrets of Man" and let me tell you, I'm going to read it again this weekend! That's how good it is. I've made copies for both my girlfriend and my father to read and if anyone here is interested, I'll make a copy for you. Actually, Clay's coast to coast gripper gave me an idea because instead of me making a dozen or so copies to send out all over the country (world?) I'll make one copy to send to one person if they agree to make a copy and pass it on. So on and so forth. A little bit about the book... It's a two volume book written in 1928 and is now out of print, Bill Hinbern doesn't even have it!!! I got it as an e-book and re-typed it myself It's a total of 59 single spaced, one sided pages [though I could make it two sided to save space in the envelope]. It's about mind strength and it's relation to our "inner man", our own God given power. It is written from a Christian viewpoint but is not religious text. The author does not promote his faith nor does he force his beliefs on you. He explains how each and every one of us has uncomprehendable power and strength within us. He doesn't tell you how to obtain this miracle but gives examples of how others have suceeded. There are things in there that gave me chills up and down my spine! An few excerpts: "Never say die, say 'Live.' Be a power not only to yourself but to those around you. Optimism is the most contagious thing on earth. By the power of its suggestion that radiates from you, your whole household will become a contingent of vibrating dynamos." "The word strength fascinates me. It squares my shoulders and clenches the fist that drives me onward to a bigger purpose. Strength is health. One cannot exist without the other. They are the inseperable forces that bind the body to direct purpose. If you lack strength your body will collapse and double up like a jackknife." "The day that SOMETHING broke loose within me a new existence became created that made MIND a whip to scourge the muscles to the supreme task. I exercised and studied until I built for myself a body that has since been pronounced perfect in four countries of the world. I acquired physical powers driven by my psychic forces that harnessed mind and matter into a perfect machine. The muscles became educated to the will of the mind. Science doubled up with strength that eventually threw the athletes previously considered invincible from the heights of their glory and placed me on a higher peak." Good stuff! So who's interested? Let me know what state you live in first and I'll map out a path. Whoever is closest to me will get it first and they can send it to someone near them. If any of you fella's across the pond are interested let me know and I'll have a second copy sent out you as well. I do hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity because this really is an awesome read. It'll make for some good discussion and I'm dying to exchange thoughts with people on this. Oh, and the knowledge obtained will definitely help feats of hand strength! I figured I ought to throw something in related to grip. -Dan Edited August 14, 2003 by Dan_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I've never been one for a the "mental- psych you up" books. Somehow reading that I should just want it more, in order to lift more weight just doesn't do it for me. Since when is "obsessed" not enough? (when I get my new rb 300 in the mail, i'm planning on nailing it to my apartment wall for gods sake!) "Molding a mighty grip" was pretty good though, mainly because of the descriptions of all the old time feats. thanks for the offer though, maybe my mind isn't ready to whip my muscles into shape.

gazza Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 The body will not go anywhere that the mind does not want it too!! the Mighty Atom and Slim are great believers in the power of the mind,if its good enough for them,its good enough for me. DAN,i am in the UK and would be very intersted in this valuable and interesting book,anything written by the old timers gets my vote,thanks for taking the time to discuss and share it with your fellow grip brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Cenidoza Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 Gazza, you got it bro! PM me your address and I'll try and get it out today. Bullettooth, Can't do my man. Read into the in my first post. AP, It's too bad you feel the way you do. You don't know what your missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incindium Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) Bullettooth,Can't do my man. Read into the in my first post. You retyped it on a typewriter and not a computer? If so it makes sense why you can't make a electronic copy available. It just wasnt real clear in your orginal post. Nowadays when someone says they typed something I assume it was on a computer myself. Or are you worried about copywrite?

Roark Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Dan C, Am I understanding that there are about 30 pages (two sided)? But it is two volumes? Are they pamphlets or books? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Why not just scan the typed pages to a file and cut out the paperwork. No need to use mail either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Cenidoza Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 Sorry I'm just getting back to this, I just got back from a 3 day weekend at the beach. Okay, so far I got addresses for Steve McGranahan, Gary Hunt and Jon Covin. Copies will be sent out to Gazza (UK) and Bender53 (USA) later today. Here's what I ask, 1) make a copy as soon as you can and mail it off to the next person. 2) post a paragraph or two that you find meaningful. jcovin, you are next in line after bender53. With your permission I'll give him your address or you can PM it to him yourself. Hammerhead, Jake Brooks and a few others have mentioned being interested. Either get your address to me with permission to pass it on to whomever will be mailing you or track the book here and send it to the person yourself. "What I want you to do is philosophize over the mechanism of your body. Study its anatomical geography and survey it with a level of mental deduction. Sell yourself on the scheme of its enormity. After that it will be the easiest thing in the world for you to take a physical inventory of yourself and decide for the future you will do some repair work."

Dan Cenidoza Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 Gazza & bender53, your copies are in the mail. Gazza, don't worry about the $ bro, just honor my two simple requests is all I ask. Be expecting an email from Andy [don't know his handle] with his address, he's next on the UK list. "Practicing a movement a hundred times or a thousand times will not get you anywhere, nor will pulling or hauling a ton of iron. The more mental impulses you put behind an effort the less is required. Movements become clockwork, too mechanical, and hauling on a ton of metal is like praying to a bronze Buddha to hand you out a check for a million dollars."

Dan Cenidoza Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 Okay guys, copies went out on Monday so Steve you should be receiving yours today and Gary I'd imagine early next week. So far in the US copies will be travelling from: Bender53 (PA) jcovin (DC) savagewood (VA) HAMMERHEAD (VA) Jake Brooks (SC) and if nobody else here on the east coast [or anywhere in between] requests a copy then it's going to Tom Page in Texas. So if you want a copy, let me know! Gazza, did you hear from Andy? Also, would you be willing to expedite the route the book takes in the UK?

Andy Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Dan, I've been in contact with Gazza and he's going to send me a copy when he gets his. Looking forward to reading it. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
