This post was written back in 2008, but the poll didnt get many votes and the post didnt get any comments. Now that Project Swole has much more traffic and somewhat of a loyal community, I went and rewrote some of this piece and Im re-posting it today so that we can get more comments and votes. I think it will be an interesting study into the training background of most Swole readers.
We all know how beneficial exercise is to maintaining a healthy body. Kids dont usually know this and teenagers dont usually care. Typically it is up to parents and schools to educate kids about exercise and nutrition, cause quite frankly they arent very likely to do it themselves.
I learned about exercising in junior high school when some of my friends started curling and bench pressing to build the show muscles for the girls.
This week’s Grip Strength Challenge involves the Sledge Hammer Finger Walk.
But, there is a reason I featured this movement this week. I have been using this in my training and think it is important – its great for finger prehab and rehab.

If you have been told you have high blood pressure, with the top number (systolic) of 140 or above, or the bottom number (diastolic) of 90 or above, you might be worried, and for good reason. High blood pressure means you have a higher risk of heart attack or stroke.
Your doctor may have talked to you about taking medication to bring your numbers down. Im here to tell you that might not necessarily be the best solution. If your numbers are low enough, you might be able to control your blood pressure by adjusting your lifestyle. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you may avoid, delay or reduce the need for medication.
That being said, do not stop taking, or make any adjustments to your medication unless you talk to your doctor first.
