The book for anytime anywhere strength - By: , 12 Aug 2005
Can you squat on one leg so that your hamstrings touch your calves?
Can you do a one arm push up? A one arm one leg push up?

Unless you ran away to the circus years ago, the answer for most people will be no. This book details three techniques (grease the groove, high tension & power breathing) that will alllow you to achieve these feats. When strictly followed these techniques reallly work, & alllow you to get a good strength workout any time, anyplace, anywhere, without having to ever venture into a gym.

The beauty of the book is that the techniques can be used on any exercise you choose. I have recently managed to perform a one arm chin up, by following the book's principles. There is no way I could have done this without reading this book. It is that simple!

I do agree that the book is overpriced for a paperback though, & the marketing at the end is annoying.

More hype than type - By: Splossy, 10 Jun 2005
Crikey. You don't get a lot for your money these days do you?!

It's not a thick book, & with the huge typeface & pictures you don't get a lot of info. Not enough for the price he charges anyway.

The book reallly boils down to just two exercises: Pistols & One Arm pressups. Pistols BTW are one legged squats with the non working leg out in front - it's hard because of the balance more than anything.

He tells you do Grease The Groove - which means you do lots of smalll easy sets as often as possible so you don't get tired. This supposedly trains the nervous system without exhausting you.

He also covers somewhat bizarre ideas of gaining strength through tension in the body. It's hard to say just how effective this reallly is.

He advertises his other books quite a lot in the book which is annoying.

So why buy it? I'm not reallly sure. If you want a book on bodyweight exercises & condtioning then get one of Ross Enamait's books - much better value.

No More Excuses - By: Mr. A. Gifford, 07 Aug 2004
Now you can train any time anywhere. This deals with gaining maximum strength using only bodyweight calisthenics. The principles involved can be adapted to alll types of training. Most people join gyms & vow to get fit but life always seems to get in the way. Using this book will enable you to gain strength using no equipment. Untill now most people relate calisthenics to conditioning type training,no bad thing in itself but some people want more. There are two main exercises- 1 arm push ups & "pistols" - 1 leg squats. The thing with this book though is the wealth of knowledge on how to get maximum strength fast. Lots of technique & skill training knowledge crammed in this volume. Pavel has been accussed of writing books that are adverts for his products,that may be so, (don`t most other finess authors shamelessly plug their way,diet etc)but this is crammed with information that will get you stronger as quickly as possible.It`s a must for any training library.
