This was perfection incarnate for calisthenic memes! Some weren't relatable since I'm not really apart of the calisthenics community but I understood most and these were very funny. I'd recommend this if you or anyone you know likes working out.
I never knew how to je plan my workout, so I didn't workout. But with the routine spreadsheet and it's levels, it gives me clear goals, a want to better myself and it's amazingly motivating to je want to beat all the levels while doing all the exercises properly. I now excercice every other day, and I swear that I see around 15-20% strength, endurance and recovery increase after every. single. session. I love it, thank you!
Awesome dude!
I got this book as part of a return-to-health plan for recovering from a shoulder injury. The progressions for upper body pushing and pulling exercises are excellent for helping me return back to form. Thank you!
This was exactly what I’ve been looking for.
its not at my house yet but i know the book is gonna be peak !
Good for new that want to know better the world of this fantastic sport, the use of the drawings make it more easy to understand what are you moving and working on, wrote really well and not so heavy to read, really a good start. Thank you yellow guy
I recently started my fitness journey after 5 years of inactivity. Recently lost weight and started cardio, and was stuck figuring out how to add resistance training into my routine. I didn't want to go the weight lifting route as I valued functional strength and mobility (for long term health reasons) more than just bulking up and looking stacked. Stumbling upon Yellow Dude on youtube was a miracle, and the videos convinced me that YD's approach towards resistance training via calisthenics was exactly what I was looking for. I bought the Calisthenics Playbook hoping for a step-by-step guide on a calisthenics routine I can start as a total beginner, and it exceeded my expectations especially with the detailed explanation of muscle groups and the engaging art and drawings (I'm an anime/manga fan so the One Punch Man aesthetics sucked me in). I've completed 4 days on the lowest level, which I then end off with a simple 20 min HIIT, and everything that the guide promised, was delivered. Very happy with the purchase to say the least and excited for what my fitness journey brings me in the coming months!
So far I have only read the push-up part, but it really goes into depth with the explanations. The designs and illustrations are on point, they show what they need to, plus they are quite detailed. Overall I am pretty happy with this purchase.
This book transformed how I train. Instead of chasing flashy moves, it helped me focus on mastering the basics—push-ups, pull-ups, and squats—through smart progressions and great visuals. It’s the perfect blend of simplicity, depth, and fun. A must-have for anyone serious about calisthenics.
I thought I was going to get a tutorial to calisthenics but it is still good.
I was a beginer and it was very useful having this book because it help a lot on how train and how doing it well. The boot is just amazing
they are really fun and easy to use. I have my entire family trying them out since going to a gym or buying equipment is too high of an investment. The lack of adjustable straps seems like limitation if you want to adjust from a higher place or if you want to hang as low as possible to the ground. Otherwise even you don't reach the point of hanging to make the rings placement higher; you can get a good workout depending on the position.
the quality of the wood is awesome, sometimes it feels like the wood is warping to my hand even though the build doesn't allow for such thing. They are comfortable enough for false grip.
A great explanation of movement ! Love it so far !
Classic guidelines for a realistic price.
It's a really helpful book! For beginners... I was already good in the push/pull parts, so I'm only using it for legs, but my goal was beginning to advance in calisthenics, so I'm a little disappointed in the 19$ spent...
Not that I'm complaining

This book is a great breakdown of three basic exercises and multiple variations. There's both written descriptions and visuals for folks who work better one way or the other.
The reason I purchased it is because it has a great level progression from the most basic version to the most extreme version of each exercise. For instance, for pushups, it starts with just a plank and a few basic pushups and goes all the way to a one-handed pushup, with clear guides, timing, tempo, and notes on when to progress from one level to the next. It's great to have a clear path on how to progress towards more difficult exercises.
I saw all the reviews and read about the quality of the product and decided to give this a try despite already having rings from decathlon.
Opened it and first thing i realized was, the rings were advertised as "smooth", but all i felt was rough surfaces all over the rings. Literally, my shirt could get caught when they make contact. It feels like I could easily be splintered. In the end, didn't feel like the rings were any special as compared to a simple decathlon's.
Not to mention that I've bought a resistance band with it and the quality of the resistance band was bad (the rubber was discoloured and stuck to each other), i had to ask for a replacement. However, the replacement came the same even though they knew what they were replacing for. In the end, I had to get a refund.
Overall, just get a cheaper alternative.
Hi Kelvin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that our rings and resistance band didn't meet your expectations.
Our wooden rings are crafted with a natural, grip-friendly finish that many athletes prefer for better control during training. While they may not feel polished like plastic or coated rings, they are intentionally designed this way to enhance performance and safety. We understand that preferences can vary, and we appreciate your feedback.
Regarding the resistance band, we did our best to resolve the issue by sending a replacement promptly after you reached out. While we were confident it met our quality standards, we respect that it still didn't meet your needs and are glad we could offer a refund to close the loop. We also conducted a stock quality check to help prevent this in the future.
Thank you.
I'm hoping for a L sit addition 🙂
