How Strong You Really Are?
For years I used to do weight training. I felt strong and I looked big. One day I was challenged by one of my friends to do a back lever, and miserably I couldn’t even get myself in the right position. Then, he challenged me to do a Pistol Squat…Embarrassed, I couldn’t go down much…Really? I did not have the strength for that? Me? A strong, fitness freak? Even though I trained for years I lacked simple flexibility, mobility and balance. My big muscles locked my movements and I become a prisoner of them. Few years later I joined CrossFit and just months into training I ended with a nasty shoulder injury. I pushed too hard. I still love Crossfit but I needed to find a way to train with my injury while still gaining strength. Plus I was sick of being dependent on having a box or a gym to go to. I needed a change. That was the time when I truly discovered calisthenics – a lost art of the most effective, natural strength training on earth which is just using bodyweight.
The Un-ending Power of Progressive Calisthenics.
The most effective, natural strength training on Earth
Calisthenics is the art of increasing resistance with only your bodyweight to develop insane strength. Using progressive resistance, similar to weight training, you add difficulty levels across a full range of motion, skill, position, etc And because calisthenics uses only natural movements, it not only protects and strengthens your joints, but also conditions your body into amazing shape. It builds incredible strength, balance, flexibility, and natural and extreme body control ability Well-structured progressive calisthenics can give you insane strength gains, muscle growth, and fat loss while still protecting your joints and conditioning your body—naturally
Build Strength For Life…
Develop a Gymnast-like Physique
Gain Muscles and Lose Fat … Simultaneously
Strengthen Your Joints, Naturally …
Become More Flexible, Mobile&Healthy
Train Anytime … in Any place
I absolutely fell in love. My injury healed, I felt stronger than ever before, I lost all unwanted fat I build a physique of a gymnast I always wanted. And you know what? It was actually so much fun to get out there every day, try new skills, train towards advanced moves not only towards another inch on my bicep. I loved how I become flexible, mobile, how I started developing my balance and all the things I would never even think about with my normal weight training. And I loved how my joints were getting stronger while I was growing older.
But it wasn’t always that way…
Confusion & Years of Experimentation
Although I was making progress it took me years to get to the point where stunts like human flag, planche, one arm pushup or pullups were not impossible anymore.
WHY?
I was making mistakes;I didn’t know how should I work outI was getting stuck and had no idea whyI didn’t have enough knowledge;There was nobody to guide me;I had no idea how and what to trainMy progress was so slow, I was getting demotivatedI was missing a system to follow and get better every daySo I experimented… for years and it was PAINFUL…And even with programs like Convict Conditioning coming out, it was hard. CC have a very limited number of progressions and do not pay attention to skill work, balance, flexibility and mobility which makes it impossible to progress if you are a beginner (I’ve been there). I saw on my own skin how well structured progressive calisthenics can give you insane strength muscle gains and fat loss while still protecting your joints and conditioning your body. All naturally. I didn’t need a gym. I Didn’t need a barbell. I don’t need a box. There was just ,me, my body and a bar…
Progressive Calisthenics is straightforward in its principles…yet…
Yet every day I get emails from all of you asking me how to get started. For years I have been teaching and perfecting the art of bodyweight strength training and although there is so much information out there its extremely confusing and unhelpful for somebody who has no previous experience with bodyweight strength training.
That’s why I have created this guide…

Insane Strength?
There is a Road to That.
From Complete Novice to Calisthenics Master. Step-by-Step.
IT All STARTS WITH FUNDAMENTALS
The 8 Fundamental Moves to Master
Being able to perform moves like the human flag and planches requires more than simply phenomenal strength, it also requires flexibility, mobility, balance and skill. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, you’re going to struggle with these moves if you lack the other necessary skills (and quite a bit of practice!) … But if you do it the right way you can achieve strength and skill unlike any other. That’s why you MUST start with the fundamental movements. Until you’re hitting them consistently you should not progress to any other advanced moves. Master the fundamentals and they’ll open up any move you want to learn in your advanced calisthenics career
Pistol Squat
Pistol Squat will absolutely challenge your lower body strength and mobility. Paired with hamstring mobility exercises this progression will help you prevent lower body injury and make the most out of your leg power.
See All The Progressions Included:
One Arm Hanging Leg Raises
These are the best way to develop an all-round powerful waist. Hanging develops the grip, shoulders and lats, and forces the serratus muscles around the ribcage to work strongly.
One Arm Pull Up
Nothing builds a massive upper back and lats like pullups do. It’s a prerequisite for all advanced moves.
See All The Progressions Included:
Bridges
Every single movement in calisthenics will require your spine to be extremely strong. The stronger your spinal muscles, the better you will be at practically any athletic motion. Bridges will make sure that the core is iron strong.
See All The Progressions Included:
Handstand Push Up
Handstands will explode your shoulder strength and size and prepare your upper body for virtually anything
See All The Progressions Included:
One Arm Push Up
The easiest pushing movement that activates nearly every muscle in your body, strengthens joints, and trains connective tissue. In addition, it builds up strong and a healthy upper body.
See All The Progressions Included:
Horizontal Row
Although a fairly advanced move, you should start conditioning your body for it early. It promotes full body control, builds an iron core, and develops a hollow body which is essential for advanced elements.
Plank To Planche
Planks strengthen the body line and they are a great base for lever work including elbow lever and eventually planches
8 Moves?
These 8 moves have been hand picked to build all round physique and strength so you can safely progress further.
Full Body Training
These movements are designed to target every single part of your body and develop an all-around, balanced physique of a gymnast. They will make sure you are ready for anything all over your body
Balance, Mobility & Flexibility Built in.
These fundamentals make sure that along with strength, you are developing balance, mobility, flexibility, and body control. You will need them to be able to perform more advanced moves and to avoid injury.
Pushing and Pulling
Fundamental movements condition your muscles and nervous system to be able to perform pulling and pushing moves effortlessly. This lays the necessary foundation for more advanced moves
Finally, realistic, step-by-step progressions.
The book pays full attention to realistic progress, step by step from the very beginner to advanced, unlike any other book out there. The guidance from the book enabled me to get started and taught me underlying principles needed to succeed. I am six months in, my strength has improved incredibly and I just cancelled my gym membership. Love Calisthenics and Thanks Jeff!

Ian Success Story
I’m an advanced neuromuscular therapist and I can vouch that this routine is safe, effective, all around beneficial, and a steady path to gains. Also lately people have been asking how I’ve gotten so ripped so I just tell them.
Ian Clark
I am a neuromuscular massage therapist. And once I learned about soft tissue damage and healing, repetitive stress injuries, the foundations of muscle science, etc., I really started to get serious about fully balanced workouts that supplement pre-existing muscular imbalances and focus on form and control. But I had trouble designing them myself and being sure about what was safest and most efficient for my body. And this is when I picked up a Calisthenics Fundamentals Course. The program perfectly matched my criteria. I believe strength is a lifetime pursuit, not a few week fad. The guide to progressions met my biggest concern; getting from here to there. Since then my results have been very steady. My reps are going up, rest times are decreasing, and skill work is becoming second nature. I’ve also been packing on lean muscle as you can see in the picture.
Antonio Success Story
This program will not only transform your body and physique but it will skyrocket your energy and help to train your mind.
Antonio Alvarado-Angmen
Since I started on a program my results have been amazing. I have lost several inches in waistline, my shoulders are broader, and I feel so much more energy now. It’s not easy, but the program is a complete guide on how to get started on improving your health and life with the vehicle of calisthenics. I was expecting the program to be just an exercises book, but it went beyond my expectations teaching everything from the mindset, to how to progress, with suggestions how it all can be incorporated according to my own fitness levels and goals. 4 months have passed and the results in my lifestyle are incredible, not just my physique, but my energy and my attitude towards fitness.
Anand Success Story
Amazing, clearly defined terms.. Easy to understand, great progression chart as well as videos..The program answers all the questions you might ever have about calisthenics training.
Anand.
I started calisthenics after I got inspired from various athletes practicing a lot of skills like front lever, HSPU’s etc, and I was like whoaa!! I looked through all the available training programs and picked this program as the best one. It has been 7 months since then and my results have been awesome! When a person starts with calisthenics… He/she faces a lot of problems related to progressions. There is a lot of questions: what to do, how to do things; how much to do?; When to progress?; And what frequency of practice must be included? The program answers all those questions and more so you can focus on moving forward every day.
