Convict Conditioning is hands down the simplest, shortest, and most densely packed book on callisthenics I’ve ever read.
It explains how to work out your whole body and increase the load via harder workouts instead of increasing just reps.
E.g. how to go from kneeling push-ups all the way to one arm push-ups.
Great follow-up is The Naked Warrior by Pavel Tsatsoulin
- tdba 4y agoI second this - learning that a few slow, powerful bodyweight movements can get you insanely fit was game changing. Having introduced this program to a few others, I would add: don't be afraid to adapt some of the movements to yourself. The general movements in the book are fantastic but the details will vary according to you own body. You may even want to just skip certain stages in the progressions if they're not working for you.
