Jim Granade with Frank Chan
annual physical examination in July 1998) I started lifting weights 3 x week
and now average around 169 (more during holidays and vacations and less when
I am home and can keep to my routine). Yes, my arthritis disappeared as well.
I attribute these gains to wall squatting since I have been doing the Zhineng
Qigong since 1993, but it wasn't until I met Luke in December 1998 and he
introduced wall squatting that I got these benefits. Also, since 1981 I've
had problems with skin cancer. Going every 3 months to be checked and having
suspicious places frozen with Liquid Nitrogen and having at least one biopsy
per visit. I guess I have surgery at least 30 times since then for basal
cell, squamous cell, and melanoma cancers. However, at my last visit to the
Dermatologist (about six months ago, since my next appointment is 4/17) he
looked at his records and said I had not had a biopsy in two years and went
from 3 month to 6 month check ups. Also, at my last visit to Ophthalmologist
about 3 years ago, since I go every 3 years and next appointment is this
June, he decreased my eyeglass prescription which had been increased every 3
years since 1956. You can understand why I don't miss a day of Chi-Lel qigong.
The other wall squat story that I thought he may have referred to, was
when I demonstrated 100 wall squats using Tape 3A for my class. When I
finished and Luke's voice on the tape said "Congratulations!", I turned
around to the applause of my class. I told them, "If you want 100 wall squats
to seem effortless, do 200 the previous day." Luke liked that so much he
added it to my listing on the Directory of Teachers.
