Calisthenics Playbook for Push Pull Squat: Get Strong with Comic-Style Bodyweight Fitness Review: Spot On - 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. Review: If there is one calisthenics book to get, it's this one. - This book is very informative. While I sorta agree with other customers' criticisms that the book could have more in it, especially the pull-up chapter, the basics are arguably the most important part of calisthenics. The original comic book-esque drawings made the instructions VERY clear. This was a much better learning experience than YouTube or any other online resource I've read. I've been doing calisthenics for seven months now, and my back, arms, and abdomen have never looked this strong after just a WEEK of reading this book. Highly recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CTR7FYFF | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,220 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Hip & Thigh Workouts #23 in Quick Workouts (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (357) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.27 x 11 inches | | ISBN-13 | 979-8877944305 | | Item Weight | 10.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 116 pages | | Publication date | July 23, 2023 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![Calisthenics Playbook for Push Pull Squat: Get Strong with Comic-Style Bodyweight Fitness - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61haTrRkY6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spot On *by R***T on July 20, 2024* I am rewriting my review after 22 weeks of practice (push/squat only).
