Complete Calisthenics, Second Edition: The Ultimate Guide to Bodyweight Exercise

I found this calisthenics book to be an excellent resource that is suitable for both beginners and those at an advanced level. It is well-organized and provides clear, step-by-step instructions for a wide range of techniques. I appreciate that the book is easy to navigate, which makes it easy to find what you're looking for quickly. I can go straight to the technique I want to learn, which saves me time and allows me to get started right away. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their calisthenics skills.

I’ve tried countless fitness guides, but this is the first one that gave me a clear, progressive path I could stick to—no gimmicks, just real results using my own bodyweight; it’s now the backbone of my daily training and has genuinely transformed how I view strength.

Since buying this book nine months ago, I've come back to it many times as a reference source. It's a thorough listing of exercises and programmes for calisthenics, which the author has clearly put immense amounts of time and effort into creating. It works well as a reference book to use as you develop your calisthenics routines. The reason I've given it four stars, not five, is because I sometimes find it hard to navigate. At 300+ pages, one is unlikely to read the book cover to cover, so an index would be a useful addition to locate specific information.

Great book to use as a guide and information. Very clear and concise and is very good at setting out how to perform each exercise correctly and safely for best results. Handy pictorial guides as well, with progressive work out programmes at the back. This book is versatile enough for you to easily make up your own programmes based on your fitness/experience level and progression requirements if desired. Well worth the money.

An excellent book - looks great and packed with great info

This book is phenomenal I always wanted to train in callisthenics but never knew how to start or approach it until I came across Ashley Kalym . From beginner to pro this man explains the full from diet to stretching ,repairing recovery to strength etc and I’m glued to it —I’m at the chapter where you need to maintain push ups ,pull ups ,dips ,squats ,knee raises before you can move on and even if you don’t want to do callisthenics I would still buy it .Money worth spent . Ashley your the BEST 👊🏻

I cant comment on the value of the content as im a beginner with no point of reference However for the price it id dissappointing that the paper feels very thin and cheap, magazine like and the whole book is grayscale!? I was really looking forward to using this book but i feel that it will not last long at all.

Pretty much became my calisthenics bible. It breaks down exercises is easy way to understand and all progressions make sense. Have seen a share of improvement in last year. Keep going back to it whenever I'm ready to progress further. Thank you.

This book is invaluable for my calisthenics training. I love how the author lay's out step by step progressions, and describes in detail with pictures how to do the exercises.

Muito obrigado!

extra top génial

Great book. Has tons of various exercises to do. Learned a lot.

Absolute Emfehlung. Habe zuerst mit Convict Conditioning trainiert um Basics aufzubauen. Bin dann aber irgendwanm auf dieses Buch hier umgestiegen und mache seitdem deutlich merkbarere Fortschritte. Der Trainingsplan ist ech gut.
