An electrifying first novel that shocks by its language, its circumstances, and its brutal honesty, Push recounts a young black street-girl's horrendous and redemptive journey through a Harlem inferno. For Precious Jones, 16 and pregnant with her father's child, miraculous hope appears and the world begins to open up for her when a courageous, determined teacher bullies, cajoles, and inspires her to learn to read, to define her own feelings and set them down in a diary.

Claireece Precious Jones endures unimaginable hardships in her young life. Abused by her mother, raped by her father, she grows up poor, angry, illiterate, fat, unloved and generally unnoticed. So what better way to learn about her than through her own, halting dialect. That is the device deployed in the first novel by poet and singer Sapphire. "Sometimes I wish I was not alive," Precious says. "But I don't know how to die. Ain' no plug to pull out. 'N no matter how bad I feel my heart don't stop beating and my eyes open in the morning." An intense story of adversity and the mechanisms to cope with it.

Precious is now a major motion picture based on the novel Push by Sapphire, starring Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe, Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, and Lenny Kravitz. Enjoy these images from the film, and click the thumbnails to see larger images.

If you want a 15-minute "crash course" on how to get a huge, "alpha male" chest without lifting weights (or even breaking a sweat) then this book will show you how.

It's called:

"Brute Force Push Ups"

And it was written by world class fitness leader Rich Bryda.

As the title says, this short, easy-to-read book is ALL about push
ups.

But don't let that fool you into thinking you can't have a big, "tank-like" chest. Fact is, all the old time body builders used this simple exercise. And today the world's top athletes (like the great Herschel Walker) do this exercise to get ripped without doing a single bench press.

You can, too.

Even if you have "bad genetics."

And even if you have a puny "sizzle chest" that's flat as a pancake now.

The reason why the formula inside this book works is due to a secret neurological trick discovered by some smart Russian Special Forces soldiers (now used by certain eastern European body builders and other top athletes "in the know").

It's fast, too.

You do not need to spend more than a few minutes per day on them.

And, as you'll see, this workout is NOT based on sweating, straining or needing to be disciplined. (It's perfect for "lazy" guys.)

Here are some of the benefits you'll get from this book:

• Do over 100 push ups per day with ease. (And in as little as 10 minutes.)

• Build a powerful "button popping" chest in just 30 days. (You may even have to get new shirts -- as you literally could pop the buttons off any tighter shirts you own now!)

• Develop a bigger chest than weight lifters who can bench 400+ pounds.

• Never have to spend money on a gym or equipment.

• Have the kind of "alpha male" chest women can't help but notice and want to touch and hug. (Women go crazy over men with big chests since you'll make them feel safe.)

• Prevent weight lifting injuries. (If you are already a weight lifter, doing pushups will strengthen your core and the tendons you use for the bench, making you almost impervious to injury.)

• Neurologically "program" your entire body to get stronger without ANY struggle or strain whatsoever.

• Build rock solid abs over time. (Push ups naturally work your abs -- and by doing 100+ a day your abs will get a great work out too.)

• And much, much more...

“Have you been to a school lately?  Have you sat through the six hours and forty-five minutes of excruciating tedium we send our kids to every day?  When we ask our kids, “What’d you do in school today?” and they mumble, “Nothin’,” they’re telling the truth.”
 
Steve Perry is like no other educator you’ve ever met.  He “gets it.”  He understands why some parents are downright panicked about what’s going on in their kids’ classrooms, and how other parents, whose kids supposedly attend the “good” schools, still fear that their children are falling behind.  As Principal of one of the best performing schools in America -- one that sends 100% of its mostly minority students to four-year colleges -- Perry delights in poking the system.  Present him with a “truth” about how education is supposed to work and – count on it – he’ll show it to be false.
 
Dictatorial teacher’s unions despise Steve Perry.  So do lazy teachers.  So do entrenched, unimaginative school boards.  So do reactionary “curriculum guardians” who – as a lure to get kids reading – cling to the same old stodgy texts.
 
“That’s okay,” say Perry.  That means he’s making a difference.  In this book, his priority is to help kids who don’t have the advantage of going to his school, Capital Prep.  He wants to save your kid, and the kid next door, and the kid down the street from getting a typical third-rate American education.
 
If you’re a parent who has worried recently about how depressed your child seems when he dresses for school in the morning…or how little of what happens during the school day seems to sink into her brain… or how much of your child’s homework is busywork, you need this book. 
 
If you’re a teacher who is putting your heart and soul into the job but are surrounded by colleagues who are “phoning it in,” you need this book.
 
If you’re a committed, forward-thinking principal who wants to get rid of the faculty bad apples, but are continually stymied by Mafia-style teachers-unions, you need this book.
 
*If you’re a citizen who worries about the $1 trillion-plus GDP loss that America suffers every year because our system of education doesn’t measure up, you need this book.
 
In this solution-oriented manifesto, Steve Perry covers the full range of issues holding back today’s students.  He shows parents how to find great teachers (and get rid of the bad ones)…how to make readers out of kids who hate to read…how to make the school curriculum thrilling rather than sleep-inducing…how to conduct an all-important education “home audit”… how to “e-organize” if school boards and administrators aren’t getting the message…how to build a “school of the future,” and much more.
 
The era of third-rate education is over.  Steve Perry isn’t going to let the fools and scoundrels get away with it any longer.  Push has come to shove!

Guest Reviewer: Steve Harvey on Push Has Come to Shove
Steve Harvey began doing stand-up comedy in the mid-1980s, and has become one of today’s most multi-faceted entertainers as a radio personality, actor, author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and TV host. His bestselling books include Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and Straight Talk, No Chaser. Harvey hosts the annual Hoodie Awards honoring community business and leaders, and he also mentors youth through the Steve Harvey Foundation.

Take it from a guy who knows what it’s like to work a lot of gigs: Dr. Steve Perry, who divides his time between being the planet’s most effective school principal and a shake-up-people’s-thinking contributor to CNN, is the hardest-working man in the education biz. And that’s damn lucky for the thousands of kids who, because of Perry’s “serious as a heart attack” approach to education, are now heading off to four-year colleges rather than talking trash on street corners. It’s lucky, too, for parents who get to read this amazing book. The title, Push Has Come to Shove, is pure Perry-- and so are the big fat water balloons Perry aims at the education system’s many culprits. But Perry isn’t just a funny-as-hell, fed-up-and-tired-of-excuses dude giving “don’t know jack” teacher’s-union goons, lazy teachers, and political hacks well deserved kicks in the pants, the man has real solutions. He lays it all out here: how to get your kid better teachers, a better curriculum, and a better future. I love Steve’s impatience: he doesn’t want any of us to be putting up one more day with what we’ve been putting up with. He wants your kid turned on right now to the idea of being smarter. It’s about time someone inside the education system pulled back the curtain on what’s lacking, so the common man can help his children get an exceptional education.

--Steve Harvey

If you’ve ever wanted to be able to do a lot of push-ups but found progress to be slow or nonexistent then "100 Push-Ups, The ultimate system for consistent push-up progress" is the answer you've been looking for.

This book will provide you a simple, effective system for consistently increasing the number of push-ups you can do.

You will be given a daily outline and a set of exercise rules which, if followed, will assure you long term consistent progress and results.

This system was developed by a life-long fitness enthusiast who had a goal to reach a level of push-up proficiency that most people only dream of. And once this system was up and running he was able to more than double the number of pushups he could do in just a few short months, in the comfort of his own home (no gym required).

Guidelines on doing a perfect pushup
The muscles involved in doing a pushup and what each muscle does to help
How to keep the muscles in your body balanced
The guidelines and rules of the push-up system
A picture library of all the exercises outlined in the program
And much more
