Complete Calisthenics: The Ultimate Guide to Bodyweight Exercise

Product Information

A practical elocutionist and well versed in English and American literature, he had also noticed the inadequacy of the material, the illogical arrangements, and the mistaken methods of the school and family readers and spellers then in use, and had elaborated a scheme for a new series suited to all scholastic grades.

Back then, Complete Calisthenics really helped me in my path to become a better calisthenics athlete, helping me to understand and get to know many of the things that needed to be known. I got hernia surgery in the beginning of the year and have been having a hard time building up strength.I must say I am a very perfectionist person, and my opinion may raise disagreements, but when it comes to calisthenics, technique is crucial, for both getting the best out of a movement and avoid the risk of injuries if done wrong.

Calisthenics is defined as a series of physical exercises that are performed with the weight of the body, that is, without using any extra tools, such as weights or machines. Calisthenics is built upon many disciplines, but gymnastics is probably the most similar and beneficial sport for calisthenics. It is without a doubt the most exhaustive book on calisthenics in existence, reading like a gymnastics textbook with no stone left unturned. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.There are few true sources of bodyweight training in book form, but those that do exist are wonderfully effective, informative and engaging for the enthused mover - beginners and experts alike. Just like with weight lifting, there are many ways to make calisthenic moves harder so you can continually progress. In addition to the basics of Weighted Calisthenics competitions, this book is the first to set standards for evaluating and performing lever skills such as the Front Lever and the Planche. Every time I come back, this book provides a program for the stage I’m at and instructions for every exercise I need. The Convict Conditioning program is straightforward to follow and doesn't require much understanding, but may be limited for those looking to progress in a wide range of skills.
