Love this book very much. Value for money. Shipped out almost immediately. Seller is very responsive as well. Read more

I bought this book because I liked the easy to follow guides on the instagram account for yellowdude. I received the book today and have already read it. It is presented well and as I expected, each exercise is broken down and explained in detail. I’m looking forward to getting started on the routines set out in the book. I’m not a beginner in Calisthenics, but this book will definitely help me progress to the next level. Read more

Ich habe inzwischen sehr viele Sportbücher (auch dank meiner "Kindle unlimitless"-Mitgliedschaft) lesen können und kann daher ganz klar sagen, dass dieses Buch alleine schon von der Aufmachung und den liebevoll gestalteten Illustrationen her, den meisten anderen Büchern weit voraus ist. Es ist genau die richtige Balance zwischen Text und Bildern. Das Buch ist super strukturiert, leicht zu verstehen und gibt eine klare Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung. Ich konnte breits vorab alle Skills, welche durch das Buch erlernt werden sollen und trotzdem würde ich es jederzeit wieder kaufen. Es sind jede Menge kleine Tipps dabei und wie schon erwähnt, sind die ganzen Darstellungen wirklich innovativ und sehr ansprechend. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass weitere Werke folgen werden! Read more

I am rewriting my review after 22 weeks of practice (push/squat only). I skipped the pull section due to a lack of equipment. This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to do some (very) challenging calisthenic exercises without a trainer, gym pass, or app. You can learn all the biomechanics needed for basic pushups and planks and apply that to increasingly harder exercises (explosive pushups, archer pushups, etc). This all culminates with one-arm pushups and one legged (pistol) squats. This process evolves over five levels, from easy to hard, with reps, sets, rest periods all clearly defined. There's more than enough here for anyone who takes calisthenics seriously and needs clear information on all the specifics, including posture, angling, muscle group engagement, tips for avoiding failure, and common cheat methods to avoid. I have a Calisthenics Friend and a Crossfit Friend who both are unable to do some of the exercises I've learned here, and have both benefited from the advice I passed along from this book. So if you think this is book too basic for you, stop lying to yourself about your own abilities. You're probably not as good as you think, and there is always room for improvement at any skill level. I strongly advise you follow the levels as they are written, they are really good indications of how far you've come. In the beginning you will likely need to reduce reps or sets and increase over time. From my experience the time between level-ups grows as each level gets harder. For instance, going from Level 1 to 2 took about 2 weeks. Getting from Level 4 to 5 took about 7 weeks. I would also advise you don't combine them into push/pull supersets. Stick to pushes and pulls on alternating days. I combined them for a long time and it just made my workouts incredibly long and tiring. The motivation to do more than about two per week was just not there. But when I do push and squat on separate days I can fit them into my schedule easier and I don't completely lose my will to do them. You will need equipment - a plyo box for the squats at minimum (also useful for gradually working your way into the harder pushups). The equipment required for pulls is a lot less manageable unless you have access to a pullup bar or the space to install one. Be mindful of this before starting with this book because you won't get very far without it. In all I would say it's hands-down better than any other calisthenics book and it's far better than any of the calisthenics youtube videos (that mainly just given basic tips as teasers to try to sell you programs). You can start from nothing and build a better body, or you can use this to augment your existing skills through clear biomechanical advice. Good stuff, easily worth the money spent and I would love to see a follow-up in the future. Read more
