Antigycolitic training works. I bought his book years ago and it still makes sense. And yes, thanks to Covid and joe rogan’s interview with pavel I’ve been working out with kettlebells and jump rope using antigycolitic principles.
Please do a video comparing the different books you've covered and explaining which one is the best for certain goals; if one wins out over the others for comprehensive content, etc
Ok, I have not studied this beyond a handful of excersize books but I have been training for many years for martial arts and climbing/mountaineering. My intuition tells me he is right. My own simplified approach to a home routine centers around 3 excersizes: Squats, Pushups, Situps (crunches). I've found that one can get a pretty good "full body" training session in by just focusing on those 3 movements. If coarse there are many variations of each excersize and variable intensities, sets.. etc.. But in general, a person can achieve a lot with just those three. Adding in cardio (hill walking, running) for endurance & VO2 training rounds it off nicely if you want to go there
Skip Sit Ups and add Pull Ups. Your core is engaged during proper push ups and pull ups. Sit ups can be helpful, but you need a pull workout somewhere in there. If your just going to do 3 movements, make one of them a pull up variation.
@@guisspino2347 True, but at home not everyone has a pullup bar. Also, pullups tend to focus on biceps plus lats & abs, and there are variations of pushups that can engage biceps to some degree as well as abdominals. If everyone had a pullup bar at home I might have named squats, pullups and pushups as the main 3 but IMO it's more important to stress and work the core abdominal muscles over developing biceps & lats - which is one reason I would put situp variations over pullups.
i've been following (albeit, loosely) the progressions from convict conditioning. pavel's approach seems to be similar, except wow, only 2 exercises. i don't doubt the man, and it sounds like a good book. i recently ordered al kavadlo's 'stretching your boundaries' which i hope will blend with the cc exercises. i would like to hear your take on cc 2.
Sounds like a great read. Thanks for the review! I just wonder what's the place (or why no place) for pulling excercises? Is this addressed? I used to do lots of push-ups and barely any pulling/back excercises when young and now suffer strongly from impingement in my shoulders probably due to imbalances (and sitting at the desk). Not sure if I should even try one-armed push-ups. I tend to do inverted rows and pull-ups a lot and push-ups much less frequently these days.
In the book, he explains that his oapu form works the lats, but in the back of the book he also shows using a door for pull-ups and body rows. Not a door bar, a door: one of the book's concepts is being able to train anywhere, without equipment. Hence 'naked', and two exercises that require literally no equipment, not even a bar. He explains that the two exercises are full-body on their own, but isn't suggesting that you never do anything else (indeed, he says you will need to add a pull etc). Rather he's using these two as a way to learn how to train strength with bodyweight only. The methodology - GTG, tension, breathing, strength as a skill, ways to progress/regress - can all then be applied to whatever else you do. He talks (briefly - but the whole book is to-the-point) about integrating this type of training with other work, both bodyweight and weighted. It's great stuff. Pavel's school, StrongFirst, has a bodyweight video programme that includes pull-ups and leg raises using a bar. [P.S. John Kirsch's hanging programme helped fix my desk-induced shoulder impingement].

Is this good for beginners?? Someone who has no experience but had a decent figure and movment. I’m about 200 pound at 6.5 feet tall. I have enough mobility to run but I can’t do things like splits and pistol squats
That's great! However I was let down by convict conditioning,enter the kettlebell and the one about bars. Although entertaining and good material quality. The info was a little lax. Just my opinion
Hi Ryan. Will Tennyson had bought an Athlean X Program called “Total Beast”. He liked the layout of the program. Athlean X has 2 bodyweight workouts. 1st being Athlean Xero and the 2nd being Xero 2. Why don’t you buy 1 of the programs and do it for the full 6 or 12 weeks? Then document your results following the program, it would an interesting video to watch. Take care. Stay blessed 🙏🏽
I do different pushups pullups and squats 3 times a week. I'm 53 and this works for me. Pavel is a monster. I learned alot when he was on Joe Rogens podcast.
Pavel doesn't actually look strong ... He resembles those guys you see who took calisthenics "too far" (no offence) Any gym has guys looking MUCH stronger than him. You could just speak to them instead of buying a book. I would think "Starting Strength" and just 3x10 would get most people far farther
Pavel's pushup routine turned me into a machine
Is this the routine in the book?
@@awesomeguy3211 bump
Yes

Ryan is all about strenght, muscle and mind building. Great video as always

Great review! I'm definitely getting a copy of this book. Love this respect you show to Pavel.
Yeah, best one I've ever read. His tips work for all sorts of exercises as well.
I love this book. I got it about 15 years ago! Finally a review. :)
Indeed, I loved it too,

Adding in cardio is key, most important muscle in the body

Just a quick tip on his last name: Sat-Soo-Lin
Awesome! Ordered one!

Hard cover book? Can't deal with paperback or kindle for this great subject matter... As usual, excellent info MTG! Thanks
Does the TH-cam video replace the book?
Is this good for beginners?? Someone who has no experience but had a decent figure and movment. I’m about 200 pound at 6.5 feet tall. I have enough mobility to run but I can’t do things like splits and pistol squats
Less is more ( more or less) - I enjoyed Pavel's kettlebell videos, so will definitely check this out
Ma senza un esercizio di trazione a controbilanciare flessioni non si rischia squilibrio come per la sfida One punch?
When are you going to write a book?
That's great! However I was let down by convict conditioning,enter the kettlebell and the one about bars. Although entertaining and good material quality. The info was a little lax. Just my opinion
I know your the body weight guy, but his Simple and Sinister book is also fantastic for anyone interested in Kettlebells.
Gibt es das auf Deutsch?

Does he touch on nutrition in this book?
Yo! Today I went to the book shop and saw this book, wondered if it was a novel 😅. Coincidences happen in life
😂 that’s quite a coincidence!
All I see are bright gray blue eyes. 😍
Have owned a dog eared copy for years
I'm on it just got my CANT HURT ME BY MR GOGGINS.....THIS IS NEXT
Set sulley
From viewing the book in the video, does some of the exercises require working with a partner?
There are a few examples that require a partner, but you don’t need a partner to utilize the principles in the book and do the program.
Does Pavel have other good books you've read?
Why those two exercises only?
I was wondering the same thing. What about pulling exercises?
I think another basis for the book was no equipment and that the exercise can be done anywhere anytime while maximizing strength gains
I do different pushups pullups and squats 3 times a week. I'm 53 and this works for me. Pavel is a monster. I learned alot when he was on Joe Rogens podcast.
By Pavel? Shut up and take my money
Ofc if the same Pavel that im think of :)
If you’re thinking of the kettlebell Pavel who looks a bit like myself and Mr. Sins, you’ve got the right one
@@MinusTheGym
Yall cool man
Pavel that i meant is the one who operates Kosatka :)
So what r the 2 workouts?
Pistol Squats and One Handed Push Ups. Sounds simple, and it is. But it’s worth a read. More about philosophy.
johnny sins began brother looool
COMRADE!

You don't need brawn to be strong. 90% of strength is in the mind.
That is the point. Pavel is after wiry/stealth strength and neurological adaptations rather than hypertrophy.
Pavel eats steak, it’s what it takes to build strength.
