I offer no-nonsense strength and performance training based on experience, not theory. We'll cover everything from Olympic lifting and sports injury rehab to specialized grip strength training.

## Services

### [Grip Strength Specialization](https://mytribe.in/sixfootninja/grip-strength-specialization)

Training at Basebell Studio in Kalyan Nagar

Typically ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate)

- [Video: Think your big deadlift makes your grip strong? Think again. Here I am easily pulling 150kg on a double overhand axle bar deadlift. Then, watch me struggle with just 80kg on the Saxon bar. This shows that conventional lifts don't translate to specialized grip strength, which is what we build here.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3a4c2f76-23b0-4168-af53-5cb82bf939b4)
- [Video: My gym, Basebell, is the only place in Bangalore with this arsenal of grip tools. I use a grip dynamometer to get a hard number on your strength, not just guesswork. We have everything from adjustable grippers up to a 300 pound monster, gyro balls for wrist health, and the brutal anvil grip for a true test.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/133984e5-0c67-4b9c-b472-f3fc5676c366)
- [Video: If you want to compete in my 2025 Grip Championship, you'll need to master three lifts. First, the Saxon bar deadlift, a square bar lift that tests your finger strength. Second, the double overhand axle bar deadlift, a thick bar lift that challenges your raw grip. Finally, the anvil grip, a vertical lift with a smooth cone that will humble you.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2f5c7cd7-dcd6-4a55-9dde-afa7fdb33349)
- [Video: This is what real training looks like. It’s not always about hitting personal records. Here you can see me fail multiple times at 160kg and 150kg on the axle bar before finally succeeding with 140kg. I threw my ego out the window, dropped the weight, and got the work done. That’s the process.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/16ab5a0d-265e-40b4-a674-2b8c41396d1b)
- [Video: This is the anvil grip lift, one of the toughest grip challenges out there. Here I am lifting 40kg with no chalk. The smooth, conical shape means you have to rely purely on your palm and finger pressure to get it off the ground. It looks simple, but it is brutally difficult.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/07519afa-0786-4a64-82ca-17e1625b4c8e)
- [Video: Here’s a different kind of challenge for your pinch grip. I'm lifting two 25kg bumper plates together with a double overhand grip. This exercise specifically targets the strength of your thumbs and fingers, an area most people completely neglect in their training.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e5a892f0-926d-4fe1-8ec5-b2104647a6eb)
- [Video: People see Basebell today and think it appeared overnight. This shows the reality. What you see now is a fully equipped strength studio. What you didn't see were the thousands of hours of planning, building, and trusting the process to create this place brick by brick.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/aa276a92-88eb-435d-a233-518b78ee2d83)
- [Video: I often host tryout days for my most unique equipment. This was an announcement for an Anvil and Saxon bar tryout, giving people a chance to come in and test their hands against these implements. If you're curious, keep an eye out for the next one.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0e730f56-07c0-4abd-8063-7079a64cc27c)

### [Injury Recovery & Corrective Exercise](https://mytribe.in/sixfootninja/injury-recovery-corrective-exercise)

Rehab sessions at Basebell Studio in Kalyan Nagar

Typically ₹1,000-2,200 per session (estimate)

- [Video: This is what true corrective exercise looks like. We identified a case of Scapular Dyskinesia causing shoulder pain, and through targeted release and mobilization techniques, we restored proper movement patterns in a single session. This is not a temporary fix; it's about re-educating the body to move correctly.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a81bd191-395b-4ba6-b124-0f8839edff35)
- [Video: Listen to Shraddha's story. She came to me with a recurring ligament ankle sprain and muscle weakness from a desk job. In just eight sessions, we eliminated the discomfort, rebuilt her stability, and gave her the confidence to perform heavy leg day strength training again, pain free.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b2e9c302-6b37-445e-8c35-47909b81f4b7)
- [Video: The hip hinge is a fundamental movement, but many people struggle with it, leading to back pain. Here, I demonstrate a simple but effective drill to teach the nervous system the correct pattern, ensuring a straight, strong back. This is the foundation for safely performing exercises like the deadlift.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a774aba8-d8a2-4b1c-bb62-6401b730d51a)
- [Video: I don't just teach this stuff, I live it. This is me squatting 160kg, twice my bodyweight, without a belt. The barbell squat is a powerful tool for building resilient legs and a strong core. When people say it's dangerous, it's because they don't understand how to execute it properly.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cb63eb2a-c6e5-4111-acff-0285d72f12f0)
- [Video: A client asks if a specific exercise will fix his posture. I explain that true posture correction is more than just one drill. It involves strengthening the entire system with foundational movements like squats and deadlifts to keep the spine erect and strong, not just pulling the shoulders back.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/18ebf2cb-6f43-4459-8818-dcc1dd5839b9)
- [Video: This is the full range Nordic hamstring curl from a dead stop. It's one of the most challenging exercises for building bulletproof hamstrings, crucial for preventing knee and back injuries. If you think your hamstrings are strong, this movement will humble you.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/042d7a9e-cc72-42bf-b16f-243b7eb57311)

### [Strength Training & Performance](https://mytribe.in/sixfootninja/strength-training-and-performance)

Sessions at Basebell Studio in Kalyan Nagar

Typically ₹500-2,500 per session (estimate)

- [Video: This is what raw, functional strength looks like. Here I am with a 300kg yoke walk for 50ft, with no belt or sleeves. I train the body to handle extreme loads because that’s how you build resilience that works inside and outside the gym.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f4cd6f0d-d3f7-4dd3-8e8e-5a5724e7dc4f)
- [Video: Strength isn't just about lifting heavy, it's about being explosive. This 120kg power clean shows the speed and power we build. This is how you train to be an athlete, not just a lifter. Shabash!](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/15adafbe-1de2-4f54-bea1-43eeead7130d)
- [Video: The barbell squat is the foundation. Here’s a 160kg squat for two reps, at twice my bodyweight, completely beltless. I teach you to master these fundamentals with perfect technique because that’s where true, independent strength comes from.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cb63eb2a-c6e5-4111-acff-0285d72f12f0)
- [Video: Grip strength is a huge focus here, and it's a different beast altogether. This video breaks down the brutal difference between a 150kg axle bar deadlift and the Saxon bar. Your deadlift max is almost irrelevant; this is a true test of your hands.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3a4c2f76-23b0-4168-af53-5cb82bf939b4)
- [Video: I build athletes. We use tools like hurdles for dynamic hip mobility and plyometric drills to develop the explosive power and coordination used in competitive sports. This is about moving better, faster, and stronger.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d14f4e34-db98-4740-bdd0-e84f2658d73f)
- ![People think you can't have visible abs and be seriously strong at the same time. That's nonsense. I don't skimp on eating, but I train with an intensity that builds both performance and a powerful physique. You can have both.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5699fddc-2049-4d5a-ac0f-763a90c77590)
- [Video: Strength has no age limit. Listen to one of my clients share her journey. My goal is to make anyone feel strong and confident in their body, giving them something that makes life more enjoyable. This is what it's all about.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/883c4f53-20f0-4db5-aa1b-de1a281dd2b7)
- [Video: I don't follow trends. I train athletes for the unpredictable demands of their sport, not just for optimal reps in the gym. This is a quick look into my coaching philosophy and why our approach gets real-world results.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e9acfd36-64c3-4646-9b0f-de462452d8ea)

### [Weightlifting Workshops & Bootcamps](https://mytribe.in/sixfootninja/weightlifting-workshops-bootcamps)

Workshops hosted at Basebell Studio in Kalyan Nagar

Typically ₹800-1,800 per participant per workshop (estimate)

- [Video: This is what my workshops are all about: breaking down complex lifts like the snatch and clean into simple, manageable steps. If you're wondering if Olympic lifting is safe or how to get started, this is your answer. We focus on hands-on learning to build your confidence with the barbell.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/facac6c4-e266-4d5d-95eb-011f3f218ff8)
- [Video: Many people are told that barbell squats are dangerous, but that's usually because they haven't been taught the correct biomechanics. I break down common myths, like the idea that your knees can't go over your toes, and explain how to use your body's natural mechanics to squat safely and powerfully.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/489b37a3-2635-421b-8134-a4949b28fcc2)
- [Video: Not all barbells are created equal, and the right equipment makes a huge difference in your training. I explain the specific uses for each bar we have at Basebell, from whippy Olympic bars to stiff powerlifting bars and even specialized women's bars, so you understand the tools you're using to get stronger.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/65a47318-db5c-48c6-b123-05ec6fd7d753)
- [Video: I believe in leading by example, and that means mastering the fundamentals myself. Here I am performing a 160kg barbell squat for two reps, beltless, at twice my bodyweight. This demonstrates the power of proper technique and proves that the barbell is an unmatched tool for building real leg strength.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cb63eb2a-c6e5-4111-acff-0285d72f12f0)
- [Video: The path to strength isn't a straight line; it's filled with failures and learning opportunities. This video shows my own journey, from constantly failing a lift to putting in the work over six weeks to make it look easy. It's a reminder that ego gets you nowhere, but good coaching and consistent effort get you results.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/77a6cbae-3548-4536-8483-133216bc4c0f)
- [Video: The hip hinge is the foundation for a safe and powerful deadlift, but it's a movement many beginners struggle with. I use simple, effective drills like this one to teach the correct pattern, ensuring your back stays straight and you learn to engage your glutes and hamstrings properly from day one.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a774aba8-d8a2-4b1c-bb62-6401b730d51a)

- [Video: Competing is the ultimate test of your training. Here, you can see the reality of a weightlifting competition, including the failed attempts and the physical toll it takes. Even though I missed the podium, sharing the stage with strong competitors fuels my drive to come back and hit my target numbers.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6d11f7c8-a6b3-4412-a6b5-80b94b4e57b7)

### My story

Chasing dreams, that’s been my thing since I was a kid staring at a green Kawasaki Ninja in some old magazine. Took me years, loads of setbacks too—tendinitis, burnout, all that jazz. But I built Basebell after six years of grinding, so I could train like a real athlete again. I’m always learning, whether I’m coaching or just being the student. Bikes, training, open roads—routine and passion, that’s what keeps me going. If you’re here, you’ll see I keep it real.

### My work

- **Strength & Performance Training**: Olympic lifting coaching, powerlifting, calisthenics—making you strong at any age or level.
- **Sports Injury Rehab**: Sports injury rehab Bangalore. I fix injuries and teach you the right way, so you stay stronger.
- **Grip Strength Training**: Nobody does grip like us—Saxon bar, axle bar, Anvil. Real grip strength training, not just deadlifts.
- **Train Anyone, Any Level**: Athletes, desk job folks, anyone wanting to move better and live stronger. No age limit.
- **Community Vibes**: We train, eat, and ride together. It’s a brotherhood, not just another gym.
