The exercise progressions have written descriptions along with pictures of the start position and “top of movement” so they are easy to follow. Each type of exercise has several progressions, so this is great for beginners who will always have something to work towards.
There is also information about isometric and eccentric training and how to use these types of training methods with the workouts.
There are several full routines to follow but as a reader you are encouraged to create your own routine following the step-by-step guide and using the blank program cards that also come with the book.

Not at all what the book states. You can think of these exercises yourself. The book was just a filler. Not impressed
by J.J.
Recently purchased this book and honestly it’s really changed my view of exercising. I really look forward to doing my routines. Sometimes after doing 10 hr shift in a restaurant kitchen and I get home late I’ll do my exercise routine and it gives me a huge burst of energy.
The book is very well written and the plans are excellent. You can stick with the prepared plans or adapt them to your needs.
Very little equipment is required but I would highly recommend getting a pull up bar.
In the 2 months I’ve been doing these exercises I feel a whole lot stronger, have more energy and I’m seeing pretty good results.
No need for expensive gym membership, just get this book and change your life. You’ll never need to use a gym again.

The brilliant thing about this book is, it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or super fit, you will get something from this book.
The diagrams are so simple to follow and you can go at your own pace.
I’ve been involved with fitness training for over 20 years and Jim’s book has inspired me to do more ab work. After all who doesn’t like looking good.
A must read!

Missing a lot of progression steps like negative pull ups, pull ups with resistance bands and surely doing a handstand is one of the progression before being to do a handstand push up, but not according to this book.
