I'm not going to lie...I like it...I like it a lot.
Not really into the bodyweight training right now, but when the time comes (and it will) to take a break from heavy iron and rebuild/heal the body then this is definitely what I will be pulling from in terms of exercise selection and programming.
This eBook (and the "e" is for excellent) is WAY better than that Convict Conditioning bullshit. Tom doesn't waste your time with page after page of anti-weightlifting dogma and how bodyweight training is the only thing that will turn you into a Spartan-Ninja that is unfuckablewith and nigh invulnerable to same sex rape. Seriously, Tom jumps right into his desire to put out a plan of extreme minimalism...a program based around sensible progressions that involve the biggest bang for your buck exercises. And, that's exactly what he provides. I like the fact that his exercise selection and progressions give you equipped and unequipped options. CC made the assumption that you are locked in a prision cell with a basketball and a chin up bar...how stupid is that. Tom's progressions incorporate suspension trainers if you want to go that route, as well as an option of using a weight vest (and he shows you how to make a ghetto affordable option in case you spend all your money trying to keep an artist girlfriend who is WAY out of your league and entertaining her numerous hot girlfriends from the interracial porn industry).
The presentation is nice, and the photos are clear and professional (would have been better if Tom wasn't in every one of them). I like the minimalist philosophy and the minimalist approach to the book design itself. The numerous anecdotes and quotes from various fitness gurus, athletes, IGXers, and celebrities at the beginning of the book was a nice touch and informative. I especially liked the way Tom addressed bodyweight training's inherent deficiency in terms of being able to overload and develop the posterior chain. He gives us some straight to the point minimalist options for that as well.
I like it, and quite frankly I don't think I'll ever spend another dime on anything related to bodyweight training. My honest opinion is that our very own Tom Furman has penned and produced the ultimate bodyweight (mostly) based training program that embraces the ultra minimalist philosophy while also embracing equipment to shore up deficiencies and get the maximum effectiveness from the routine. Overall, it is a refreshing take on an old topic, and one that seems to have had some heart and soul put into it.
For something short and practical that I will go back to time and again, you can't beat $10 and quick service.
Get off your dead asses and order it. It's good stuff by itself, and supporting Tom will ensure that even better products will get put out.
Thanks, Tom...it's a nice product and contribution to the fitness library.
