Overcoming Gravity: A Systematic Approach to Gymnastics and Bodyweight Strength (Second Edition) Paperback – 18 November 2016

This book feeds you with enough knowledge and doesn't bore you, at every turn you the information presented is highly usefull.This book is divided into two parts, the first one sets you up with all the necessary information (and i literally mean ALL) you need to proficiently train towards whatever goals you have (strength, hypertrophy, endurance)The second part is a detailed discription on almost all the great bodyweight exercises, the book tells you the cues, the technique, proper form, progressions and regressions, provides some tips and common mistakes,Lastly you should note that this review is given by someone who is relatively new to training, as of writing this review i am on level 3 for most of the exercises on the progression charts(search online or on the author's website) but if you are someone high level, like after level 7 you might not enjoy it as much. But that doesn't necessarily mean this is a beginners book either as the stuff presented becomes usefull when you've had a fair bit of trial and error and injuries at the gym. But you can read this book anyway.Summing up : great book, but can only recommend it to a limited number of people. Practitioners of the recommended routine (the RR) from r/bwf will find this book indispensible. A must have.

This book consists of everything you need to know about calisthenics. If you have to choose one book for bodyweight training, this is the one.

Highly recommended for Calisthenics Trainees.

The best outcome from reading this book is being able to construct my own progressions and training programmes rather than relying on someone to do that for me. The material on general training principles is excellent, and the material on injury prevention and prehab alone make the book worth buying.

D reason i am not giving 4 is the package was arrived in polythene not in a cardboard box or small cartoon ......otherwise no issue

this book changed my entire lifestyle. i read it, i eat breakfast with it, i sleep with it.. perfect everyday companion for a athlete aspired to be

Good book but few people to acknowledge it's knowledge.
