There are many illustrations and the text is written in easy-to-understand language. There are many types of daily routine work, so you should be able to learn a lot from this book.
Purchased GravGear's gymnastic rings, and I couldn't be happier! The quality is outstanding; they feel incredibly sturdy and gives me confidence during workouts.
The quick-adjust carabiner system makes setup a breeze, and the Zelkova Sinica wood provides a fantastic grip without needing chalk. These rings are versatile and comfortable.
Highly recommend them for anyone looking to elevate their training!
This book helped me to get started in calisthenics. Provides the correct forms that are difficult to grasp when watching videos.
This was an EPIC purchase, cause I used to find working out to be very daunting. But, this book helped to guide me and give me some more structure, helping to ingrese my confidence and eagerness to get fit. I REALLY WANT A HANDSTAND FOCUSED SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Product is easy to setup and ready to use. Great quality. Package should come with a setup manual instead of having to search on website. Would be good if a pouch is available with the rings and straps.
Overall it’s still a good buy and I would recommend it.
It’s so great. Nicely overloaded and increasing the intensity of my workout. Contributing my body weight pressing strength.
Thanks.
Easy explaining excercises
Well documentated with pictures
Great and simple to use
Love the structure of the book. I love to train minimalist and this book is Simple but not simplier.
The strap images smothered throughout advertising depicts numbering with “00” however this is not true and deceptive practice
Hi Derek,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to clarify.
The images used in our advertising show numbering with “00,” which we now realize may have caused confusion. We’ve recently transitioned to a new embroidery technique for the numbering, which comes with certain technical limitations. However, this method ensures a more durable and premium finish, as the numbers are permanently embroidered rather than printed.
In fact, you’ve received the latest version of the product. We acknowledge that it was our oversight not to communicate this change more clearly, and we sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding. Transparency is important to us, and we’ll take steps to improve how we share updates in the future.
If you’re just getting into calisthenics, this book is an awesome starting point. It’s got everything you need to build strength and learn some impressive moves like one-arm push-ups and pistol squats. The best part? It’s all broken down into simple, manageable steps, so you’re not diving in too deep, too fast. Each exercise builds on the last, making it super beginner-friendly while still giving you room to grow.
Well made and a great price. I like the ability to add a single kg at a time as my strength improves.
This is a really informative and very helpful book, it's easy to read and understand, but it was very basic, i could do most of the exercises i kinda expected it had more , like there was no pike push up. I'm not a guru in this subject but I felt kinda betrayed. But it's a good book for beginners. If you guys release a more advanced version, I'd still buy tho. Thanks
Hi Febin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the book. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t fully match your expectations, and I’d like to provide some clarification.
This book was specifically created to help readers achieve three challenging calisthenics skills: the one-arm push-up, one-arm pull-up, and pistol squat. Advanced skills like handstands or planches weren’t included, as the focus of the book is on mastering these foundational movements. We made an effort to clearly outline the covered progressions on the product page so buyers could decide if it aligned with their goals.
That said, your feedback is really important to us. It’s helpful to know there’s interest in a more advanced edition, and we’ll work on making our descriptions even more detailed in the future to set clearer expectations.
We’re happy to hear you still found the book helpful for beginners, and we truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm for a possible advanced version.
Total waste of money. It's a great concept to show the exercises with these diagrams and it gives lots of information. But it's way too basic only showing simple pull ups and push ups. Nothing about advanced calisthenics skills like handstands or planche.
If you already know how to do a push up and pull up then don't waste your money like I did.
I wish I could get a refund.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the book. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations, and I’d like to clarify a few things.
The book is designed to help readers unlock three of the hardest calisthenics skills: the one-arm push-up, one-arm pull-up, and pistol squat. We laid out the covered skills on the product page in the clearest possible way, so buyers know exactly what to expect.
We intentionally didn’t include advanced skills like handstands or planche, as they aren’t the focus of this book. We’ve outlined the skills and progressions covered in the book so potential readers can check if it’s right for them before ordering.
Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll work to make our descriptions even clearer moving forward.
If you are like me and you keep finding a YouTube video that you watch the whole thing and get maybe one or two useful tips then forget about it because you watched another half dozed that did not give you anything or which are biased towards a piece of equipment that you can't get in your country, then you will appreciate this book.
I like to read and understand what I am doing before I try to do an exercise. I like the way the book gives you a goal e.g. one handed pushups, then leads you through a whole series of exercises to build you up to being able to reach that goal.
I find Apps on phones a pain in the butt because the screens are too small and it is too hard to pause as you go through a program. The laptop is better but it is in landscape so when you need it big enough to see from several feet away you can't scroll up the page. I just downloaded the pdf version of the book and put it all into a binder and it is then easy to read while trying different excerises. This also allows me to make up my own workout program and use the pages specific to the exercises I want to perform.
Only had the book for a couple of weeks but I am very happy with how it is designed and how flexible a loose leaf printed version will be for me. Highly recommended.
They feel really durable. Love that whenever u set it up it’s guaranteed they’re of even height. Love the box and bag it comes in, I always store them in the bag in between use.
