Review: His best so far - This is a wider sweep of healthy living practices as well as more in-depth information about strength training than CC1. While Paul Wade is not formally educated as a trainer or sports physiologist (not entirely a bad thing, as he has little "gospel" to spout apart from his experience) he has years of experience practicing basic bodyweight arts, met and talked about the arts with others who also have experience practicing them, and has had years to think about, reflect upon, and digest all he has learned about them. He has walked the walk, and has made significant progress in strength through them. He is sharing a lot of knowledge in this book. I believe that in CC1, he mentions that some of his influences are from circus performers, acrobats, strongmen, and such. That is what many of these techniques look like, old-time acrobatic exercises. But, that is a good thing; if you're flying on a trapeze and your life depends on your strength, you better have effective methods for getting and keeping that strength. Some is derived from an understanding of how to alter leverage to increase difficulty, improvised under conditions in prison. And if there is one improvement I would like to see, or perhaps a subject for a future book with Paul Wade and/or other bodyweight guys like the Kavadlo brothers, Shank, Bathhurst, etc., is a more thorough analysis of ways of moving up the ladder of difficulty. Elevating feet for pushups (as Paul Wade briefly discusses in CC1 as "Marion pushups") and using static holds at different angles, and I'm sure other possibilities for the different moves that others have used. CC2 is an outstanding book, far more than just an afterthought to CC1. I bought CC1 fairly soon after it came out, but I delayed buying CC2 because I thought it was just a few loose ends wrapped up. It's not. It's a stand-alone book packed with new information, much less programmatic/impersonal than CC1 and more readable. I regret not buying CC2 right away, and I would also highly recommend C-Mass as well, and wish it was available as a book, not just an e-book, so I could give it to some people who might profit from it. E-books just don't work as well for gifts. Finally, I would like to thank John Du Cane for bring Paul Wade to us. After CC1 came out, some people objected to allowing him to get published and considered him a bad source because he had a criminal record. In the first place, he wasn't making money writing salacious details of his crimes (as I understand it, mainly selling drugs, beginning when he was not too far out of high school, so probably not too many salacious details), and secondly, don't we want ex-cons/felons to make an honest living once they've served their time? What is dishonest about writing a guide to strength training? I don't understand that objection to his work. I think people need to forgive him and give him a chance. I think drug crimes have been highly politicized and the sentencing has become excessively harsh as a result, and need to be put back in perspective anyway. Pharmaceutical companies sell bad or harmful drugs all the time and all they get is a slap on the wrist and a fine, and no one does a day of prison time for it. Why punish minor offenders like small-time dealers so harshly? CC2 is an excellent book. I can't recommend it highly enough. Buy it now if you haven't already.
Review: great book - Well I finished the ebook last week and again I was impressed by Paul Wade's production. Originally he wrote one 700 page book for convict conditioning but during the publishing process it was broken up into two separate books. The first convict conditioning book detail the basic program for calisthenics training, the second is the optional add ons. Both books can be read separately and still add value to any program. The "add ons" in convict conditioning 2 are calf, neck, grip, stretching, nutrition and psychology of training. The book follows the step progression system similar to the first. Detailing a simple way to improve your strength in a given area. Again it urges the reader to slower move through the steps to minimise injury. I can see why the original manuscript was broken into two books as most of the additional progressions will not be needed for most people. In saying that I have chosen to include the grip, calf and stretching progressions into my program. My reasoning for this is my calves are weak due to an old ankle injury and two surgeries, pull ups are my weakest exercise and I'm praying the grip work will help, and finally as stated earlier I'm very inflexible at the moment. The stretching section I found very interesting. It details two types of stretching, passive and active. Passive being what I would describe as normal stretching where you trying to relax and elongate a muscle and active being when you use muscular strength to stretch under tension. I have read this a few times now in the books I have read this year that basically you shouldn't stretch. Instead you should do full range of motion movements as they will involve active stretching. Paul Wade goes on to say passive stretching may lead to over flexible joints that increase your chances of injury. Passive stretching should only be used for increased circulation and injury recovery. From my experience with my ankle injury I also agree with what he has written. I used to stretch my ankle daily but found it just resulted in more pain and injuries. Now I focus more on movements to strengthen it and have had much better results. In general this is a well researched book and would be a great addition to any program, but it you want to start a program you are better to buy convict conditioning 1 or you are your own gym first.
