Master your body!Rated 10 out of 10
In many martial arts it is often said that weapons are extensions of your hands, and that first, you must learn to use your hands.
I find a strong parallel with Convict Conditioning. I have been using bikes, weights, and kettlebells- but I’ve never had a program that focused on mastering my body itself. This book is an excellent approach to achieving body mastery in strength training, mobility, and endurance.
Of course, results are the important part, right? In 2 weeks, using just the beginning steps of this program, I have seen a dramatic increase in grip strength, usable upper body strength, and even noticeable changes in body composition. It’s a dynamite book, a masterful and complete program, and results WILL happen!!!

Brutal Elegance.Rated 10 out of 10
I have been training and reading about training since I first joined the US Navy in the 1960s. I thought I’d seen everything the fitness world had to offer. Sometimes twice. But I was wrong. This book is utterly iconoclastic.
I have read virtually every calisthenics book printed in America over the last 40 years, and instruction like this can’t be found anywhere, in any one of them. Convict Conditioning is head and shoulders above them all. In years to come, trainers and coaches will all be talking about "progressions" and "progressive calisthenics" and claim they’ve been doing it all along. But the truth is that Dragon Door bought it to you first. As with kettlebells, they were the trail blazers.
Who should purchase this volume? Everyone who craves fitness and strength should. Even if you don’t plan to follow the routines, the book will make you think about your physical prowess, and will give even world class experts food for thought. At the very least if you find yourself on vacation or away on business without your barbells, this book will turn your hotel into a fully equipped gym.
I’d advise any athlete to obtain this work as soon as possible. —Bill Oliver - Albany, NY, United States
Thank you Coach Wade for creating the perfect blueprint to build a truly functional body.Rated 10 out of 10
If only this book was available when I first thought it was time to start using dumbbells and barbells 20 years ago?!—Shawn Reed – Pittsburgh, PA
An UNBELIEVABLE superstrength manualRated 10 out of 10
My training partner turned me onto this book. I really, really, really love the contents of this book. All the prison-based stuff aside, the method itself is something beyond belief. I’m not talking about a handful of disconnected exercises like most training books. This system has been worked out to the tenth decimal place, and it shows. What’s crazier is that a child could understand this book. My mom could pick this up and start tomorrow at her own level and so could a world class strength pro! Stunning. A magical, once in a life-time training manual. If it inspires and informs you the way it did for me, you’ll gladly pay ten times the cover price, I PROMISE.—Mike C – Corpus Christi, South Texas
Beyond The HypeRated 10 out of 10
I was astonished by the volume of data in this book, and a huge amount of it has changed the way I look at training altogether. I commend Dragon Door for having the guts to publish this man’s work. The book is a rare, wonderful find; the kind of jewel of a book you can really use and learn from, which only comes along a few times in your life. The book really is a complete encyclopedia of a massive and incredibly sophisticated training system. Buy, borrow, loan or steal this book, and you’ll still be reading (and using) it ten, twenty years from now. Wonderful stuff!—Greg A – CA USA
I’ve packed all of my other training books away!Rated 10 out of 10
I read CC in one go. I couldn’t put it down. I have purchased a lot of bodyweight training books in the past, and have always been pretty disappointed. But not with this one. The information in this book is AWESOME! I like to have a clear, logical plan of progression to follow, and that is what this book gives. I have put all of my other training books away. CC is the only system I am going to follow.—

a must for all martial artistsRated 10 out of 10
As a dedicated martial artist for more than seven years, this book is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Finally this book has come along. At last I can combine perfect body movement for martial skill with perfect body exercise for ultimate strength. All fighting arts are based on body movement. This book is a complete textbook on how to max out your musclepower using only body movement, as different from dumbbells, machines or gadgets. For this reason it belongs on the bookshelf of every serious martial artist, male and female, young and old.—Gino Cartier – Washington DC US
What I’ve been waiting forRated 10 out of 10
It’s a labor of love, that’s what it is. How often does a detailed instruction manual of secrets come along? I can’t think of any in the last 50 years, for training or for any other discipline. For those in the know, this one’s a gem , and I’m not exaggerating.—Steve – California
This book will revolutionize youRated 10 out of 10
I teach martial arts and body weight excercises are key to developing strength and agility. "Coach" makes it simple to follow and easy to learn. Use it and you will become unpredictably strong.—shaun simpson – portland, Oregon United States
