I just got my book. It is perfection— the thoughtfulness, the content, the details, the art, the knowledge and tactics. I am in love. I have had personal trainers off and on for years. Somehow, this books more than competes. I just hope they make a handstand chapter.

Like I mentioned to the owner, I have been following their opinions and advices for almost year and as soon I saved enough money to actually get the book, it brought me more results from the book than the social media. I am grateful for the book due to it’s body form and a plan to do a workout. Best of luck to everyone.

As a trainer/coach/nutrition consultant this is a fantastic read. Great visuals to help the reader understand better and great text for the best explanations. Hands down a superb book, 5 stars all the way.

Ich habe mir das Buch bestellt weil ich dir Yellowdude Anleitungen auch schon immer auf Instagram verfolgt habe.
Wie erwartet wurde ich vom Kauf auch nicht enttäuscht die Anleitungen sind gut verständlich in Zusammenhang mit den Bildern erklärt.
Durch die kurzen präzisen Beschreibung ist es auch sehr gut verständlich für Leute die kein perfektes Englisch sprechen.
Ich kann das Buch allen empfehlen die ihr Training nochmals verbessern wollen um wirklich beste aus sich raus zu holen.
Klare Kaufempfehlung meinerseits.

Thanks friend
I’ll say first that i can feel your Dedication and your high knowledge in Calisthenics to the small details
As a calisthenics coach for almost 8 years now i found alot of connections with what you are doing
And the Comics are great.
I will put it in my Calisthenics Studio for my Trainers.

I have had my eye on this book for a while now and finally purchased it. Amazing tips and progressions as well as the pictures make it easier if you are a visual learner. Highly recommend if you are starting out with calisthenics!

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.

Es un excelente libro, enseña los principios de la calistenia, que músculos ejercitas en cada ejercicio y además progresiones que ayuda tanto a principiantes como a gente mas avanzada.
El libro ademas trae al final sets de ejercicios para cada uno de tus objetivos, ademas de instrucciones de como elaborar tu rutina semanal.
Los sets vienen para diferentes niveles y explican en que punto eres capaz de avanzar al siguiente nivel.
Larga vida al yellow guy!
