Customer Reviews
Excellent workout programs for ALL levels!
I recommend this book to ANYONE who wants to get in the best shape of their lives. The book is so fundamentally sound that it puts any other bodyweight workout book to shame. The plan is brilliant: Take a "test" to see how many pushups you can do with proper form and then use that number to find the PERFECT workout to get you to 100! The workouts are very well balanced and don't feel like a chore to do.
I read the book and took the challenge seriously and was able to crank out 100 consecutive pushups just when the book said I should! On my 48th day of the program I was able to do 101 pushups and was so pleased to nail my goal.
I still follow the program even AFTER completing the "magic number" because pushups are such a great exercise for your core, arms & chest! There are so many variations that you can learn to keep your workouts interesting & fun.
Challenge yourself & get this book!
This Book Is Exactly What it Says
This short book is all about one thing and it makes no illusions about what that one thing is...so if you have no interest in integrating pushups into your workout plan, then this isn't the book for you.
If you _are_ looking for an easy and cheap to implement training plan to build up some strength, then the plans contained in this book are great. Suitable for beginners just getting into strength training or for experienced lifters that just want to try something different, this book contains a schedule for you.
I've been following one of the schedules for a few weeks now after about a year off from any non-running workouts and I'm already starting to feel the benefits of reintegrating strength training into my weekly life.
THE BEST progressive bodyweight exercise program existing
Steve Speirs did an EXCELLENT job in compiling a systematic, progressive bodyweight training program. I decided to buy this book after browsing through his following 3 websites:
[...]
I've read the book through the very first evening after I've received it. I always wanted to do a hundred pushups, but I never knew HOW to reach that magical figure. In this book, Steve Speirs shows you exactly how. Step-by-step (or should I say push-up by push-up!). All I can say is: Check out his 3 websites and if you like what you see ... buy this book!
