This playbook is exactly what I need. I was an ego lifter in the past and was going about fitness the completely wrong way. Calisthenics has become my safe place and I love seeing how strong I can get by just using my body. I’ve only recently started using the tips and guides in this book and I can see and feel my growth each and every day. The illustrations make it very easy to follow and execute good form for each exercise. I can’t wait to see what progress I will make in the months to come. Thank you for the hard work that was put into the book for people like me! 👍

The playbook is a really nice addition if you have always trained by yourself, it is very easy to understand and teaches how to do things right in an ordely fashion.
Would recommend it to all people who plan do become fit and strong ;)
Very clear step by step instructions.
As a beginner myself, I'd say there are a lot of Calisthenics workouts for beginners to try, learn, and do/follow. With pictures and clear instructions to follow, and I'm sure there are those 'don't/wrong' and 'do/correct' picto-forms for beginners to learn and understand the why, the how-to and what-not-to.
All in all, Calisthenics is a great way to increase body strength and power, which lifting weights might not be able to achieve; whereas by doing Calisthenics, you are activating and using muscles that have never been activated.
In my opinion, Calisthenics is like building raw muscles, body strength and power. While hitting the weights, does increase muscles, body strength and power, I'd say it's like getting/achieving hard muscles than usable muscles.
But then again why not do both... Does Calisthenics and hitting the gym counter each other's improvements in effectiveness?🤔
Anyways, to all beginners and veteran Calisthenics bros, work hard, train hard, and stay Calisthenically(not a real word, I think) sexy.💪
Very simple and clear explanation
Good for the beginner like me.
The picture help a lot
Super happy I found this. Very informational and thorough about the importance of eache exercise. Two 👍🏽.
very helpful teaching you the correct forms and giving tips on how to improve them
Top notch rings, amazingly straps! Absolutely love them, buy them!
It's the first time I'm actually following through with a workout routine.
I believe this is a great first edition of this book. Would recommend to a friend, in fact did. But I would also definitely buy an overhaul of it one day, too.
Love the book. The routines are spaced out in difficulty enough for a great progression system and an amazing way to build a foundation of strength in calisthenics!
The drawings are super dope and helpful, also the routines are useful for those who dont know where to start
Fit great. Love the design. Big problem is yellow dude in one wash turned my white tank yellow. So that sucks.
Hi Arian,
We're glad you love the fit and design, but we're sorry to hear about the color transfer. This is the first time we've received this kind of feedback, so we'd love to understand more. Could you share how you handled the wash?
For best results, we recommend machine washing cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners, use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary, and either tumble dry low or hang-dry for longevity. Cool iron inside-out if needed, but please do not iron the decoration or dry clean.
As an apology, we’d like to offer you a $10 gift card. Our customer support team will reach out to you shortly to assist further. Let us know if there's anything else we can do.

To begin with, before I bought this book 2 weeks ago it changed my life. For starters, I didn't know how to play calisthenics. I've been wanting to try calisthenics just to have lean muscles. This book lead me to do things I've never heard of and I am sure this would transform me to another person.
I personally am a very visual learner, and because I have been doing Calisthenics for about 2 years now without any real direction this book has been a great help and I have already seen great progress from just 2 weeks after my purchase
Great build BUT the rubber feet are cheap and a few came off during shipping. I own other paralettes and they have more substantial rubber feet that stay on and provide more grip than these little adhesive pieces.
