  1. Hey Nick, I'm from Brazil and have found very little material about bodyweight and calisthenics in Portuguese. Your website have a wonderful systematic approach to bodyweight exercises and I'm very grateful for it. You make it look easy. Thanks!

  4. Good job man, finally someone who knows whats what:)

    After you master these excercise, is it possible to introduce more volume, i want to have endurance too. Or you just have to pick lower rep ( for strenght ) or high rep ( for endurance).

    Ty, and greetings from Bosnia.

  5. Fantastic stuff Nick. Been a bodyweight enthusiast for a few years now, after a back injury forced me to abandon weights. Just wanted to thank you for all the time and effort you put into your website as well as youtube channel. It's always great to see positive people sharing their passions with the rest of us!

  6. Wow... This is probably the most info-rich site on BW training that I've found yet. I was seriously about to start blowing cash on Dragondoor books hoping to find progression details, but I've found everything I was looking for right here for FREE!! Thank you so much for this amazing resource!

  7. Hey Nick, Joe from Jersey here. I've been following bw training for a while and recently decided to work on my progressions. Any ideas or suggestions for additional conditioning. I was going to use kb swings and snatches.

  8. Nick, I have been looking at several online bodyweight sites but yours is the first one I found that lays it all out in a detailed progressive manner. Your site is like the gold bar of bodyweight training, thank you so much for doing this.

  9. this is the BEST site to explain what I read in Convict Conditioning. THANK YOU! I am a rank beginner so I am doing your ultra beginner workout 3 times per week. I like the social aspect of my Ballet Barre class. What is your take on adding in other classes while still in the first few months of starting bodyweight conditioning? THANK YOU!
