Overcoming Gravity 2 Review - This is the new Calisthenics Bible!

[@Taophysique]

I absolutely love the first edition about to purchase the second

[@tykato]

Hey, it's my man Tao! After working with it some months, i can safely say that the second edition is absolutely worth it! So much knowledge inside, it's insane!

[@valberm]

I'm glad to see your feedback here, muchacho! I was wondering if you knew and/or followed this book.

[@DOUBLE0SEVUN]

How exactly do you guys read this book? From front to back?

[@Starforged3824]

Hola muchacho!!!!

[@janhoffmann7925]

I like listening to you! You sound genuine, happy and as if you do not take yourself too serious. Very charismatic!

[@tykato]

Here's my promised review! The book lives up to it's hype and is as completes as a calisthenics book can be. It'll be hard to top this! I'm only reviewing a few parts that i really liked here, as a full review would take way too long. Enjoy the peek inside and please click on that thumbs up button, so more people see this! :)

[@Luka-pd6om]

is there nutriotion inside?

[@demetris6214]

I am actually halfway through and I must say it blew my mind how much it improves upon the previous book. A ton of useful and comprehensive information in there!

[@tykato]

Thanks for sharing, that's important information. :)

[@apexape]

What is the difference between the original book and this one?

[@Luka-pd6om]

should I buy first then second or immediately seccond?

[@DaveScarboroughUK]

Over Conning Gravity - it's my go to book for injury and progression help. Steve Low knows his shit!

[@KokoTheGorilla69]

Very cool! I've been thinking about getting a book about bodyweight workouts and this looks like a good one. I will check it out on Amazon. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@tykato]

I think it would make a great christmas present. :) Thanks and Merry Christmas aswell!

[@kriztofff]

Cheers, I'm looking forward to getting this soon.

[@tykato]

Enjoy it, it's definitely a great read!

[@bradyedge8613]

Well done, thanks for a great review! Enjoyed the overhead view.

[@tykato]

You're welcome Brady!

[@timzimmermann1577]

Thanks for this awesome review. Now i got myself a Christmas-present

[@k0lem20]

Love to see am turning my self to the good sources ! Thank you for your honesty ! You sir crack me up with the " no voodoo sh*t ,bullsh*t" 😂

[@tykato]

Haha! Happy to help, Kostas! :)

[@ant7936]

Good review, thanks. 😊

[@albertilloquetepillo]

I buyed the book. Best Training book ever. Period.

[@jasonhughes4231]

Hi, could you give us some information on the top books you recommend for bodyweight training and fitness in general?

[@KGRAO2047]

Zen says This is the altimate book for the knowledge about physical human anatomical body excersices.

[@VirideSoryuLangley]

Thanks for the review. I wish you had explained what makes this book different from the first Overcoming Gravity, like, did they add some information? Did they change the structure of the book? Etc.

[@tykato]

That's something that i would have loved to do aswell - but sadly i never owned the first version! I just read through it for about half an hour at a friend's place long time ago. What definitely improved though are the diagrams (the old ones were horrible 2d images) and i've also found a lot of info on scapula (shoulder blade) positioning that definitely wasn't there in the first edition. Judging from my experience with the first edition, this is a complete overhaul that hauls the first edition into modern times and smoothes out all the edges of the first version. Edit: spelling.

[@demetris6214]

My friend this is a totally revised edition. Tons of new information. Very easy to understand and the diagrams are clear and 3D. Definitely worth it.

[@Steven-Low]

This is a common question, so I put together a page listing the changes here: stevenlow.org/book/ There is also the Table of Contents, Introduction, Chapter 1 preview, and Progression charts available at the above link.

[@juanofthekind]

Steven Low I just ordered my book yesterday. Thanks a lot

[@Steven-Low]

Awesome! If you have any questions about it, shoot it over to reddit.com/r/overcominggravity

[@mrsilver44]

if you compare it to convicted conviction who is better?

[@theoflare]

Hello Tykato! Heard good and great things about the book.. Just started delving into the world of bodyweight training and i was always fascinated by feats seen on the olympics and now that i have the means.. I wanna get back into fitness this way.. . Was thinking of doing the recommended routine and im tryna figure out where to add barbell training like big 3.. Just wanted to train in a way that incorporates both barbell and bodyweight training.. Just wondering if your book covers this in good detail for programming... Really thinking of picking up a copy.. Some insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

[@cartoonicmegamind5543]

Is this the ultimate life changing workout book ?

[@KGRAO2047]

Price of the book?

[@andreiradulescu22]

Hello. Does the book help you create a workout routine?

[@neotradnous]

That’s the sole purpose of it yes

[@kohfee9967]

What is the difference between first and second edition?

[@DeadlyAlpacaa]

Second one has everything from the first one plus more

[@JoshauCalum]

3:23 No Vodoo Shit hahahahah

[@YRivera1]

I've heard some many good things about this book. Would I require any equipment to do the beginner routines in this book? Many thanks.

[@felipejaramillo124]

Thanks for the review! Got the book yesterday and love it. It's huge but the editing and visual quality is SO much better. As for ring wide push-ups: van you clarify your ideal progression? The reddit RR moves from diamond to wide pushup on rings, and then close pushup on rings, right? Do you suggest skipping wide? Are they dangerous to shoulders?

[@Steven-Low]

You can skip wide if they aggravate your shoulders and/or you can move into narrow elbow pushups directly.

[@fargoththemoonsugarmaniac]

Hast du das Buch evenutell mit der deutschen Fassung verglichen? Die deutsche Fassung hat nur 477 Seiten, im Vergleich zu den fast 600 Seiten der englische Version habe ich das Gefühl, etwas zu verpassen.

[@tykato]

Hi, die deutsche Fassung ist mir unbekannt!

[@nitetoad]

Does this edition include the information from the 1st edition? I am wondering if I can just get this book and not get the first one

[@andrewbarnes8475]

Thanks for providing the review. I read the 1st edition and was really impressed but I did have some criticisms of it in terms of it being in dire need of a good edit. Spelling and grammar or just plainly not edited, made for a frustrating read at times. A good deal of it was often repeated too, like seeking the advice of a medical practitioner.

[@kamenpetrovv]

Where can we get this ?

[@Steven-Low]

It's on US, CA, UK, and EU Amazons. ISBN for search is: 0990873854

[@SumanSubramaniam]

Thank you

[@tykato]

Thank you for watching, Suman!

[@BeatLuginbuehl]

Hallo Manuel. Top Buchvorstellung. DANKE. Ich habe gehört, dass im Buch keine Beinübungen vorkommen. Stimmt das? Wenn ja... nach was für einem Programm trainierst Du Deine Beine (Bodyweightmässig)? Danke für eine Antwort und sportliche Grüsse aus der SchweizBeat

[@tykato]

Hallo Beat, dankeschön! Im Buch kommen schon Beinübungen vor, allerdings nur bis zu einer gewissen Stufe: die Einbeinige Kniebeuge (Pistole) wird mit den Vorübungen und Progressionen vorgestellt - sobald man sie dann kann, geht es mit der gewichteten Pistole weiter. Persönlich trainiere ich meine Beine durch 100m, 200m und 400m Sprints und zügigen Ausdauerlauf bis 10km, außerdem habe habe ich mir für das Training der Beinrückseiten Gewichte zum Kreuzheben gekauft (hier hebe ich im Augenblick 150kg). Ich hoffe das hilft dir weiter! Sportliche Grüße zurück aus Nordrhein-Westfalen! Manuel

[@BeatLuginbuehl]

Tykato Fitness: Und WIE hilft mir das! Dankeschön 🙏🏻 für das prompte Antworten. PS: Wie läuft es eigentlich mit dem Medizinstudium?

[@leonbremer4216]

Kreuzheben und Kniebeuge langt, aber natürlich mit Gewicht. Nur von Sprints werden deine Beine sehr schnell hinterher hinken und Langstrecke trainiert schon gar nicht deine Beinmuskulatur

[@pedrovillarejobeato1749]

Thanks you 👌

[@Fringway]

Thanks for the great review! As a weight lifter who wants to try calisthenics, I'd like to know if you would recommend "Overcoming Gravity" or if you think some other book is more suitable for this purpose,, as Ashley Kalym's "Complete Calisthenics" or Paul Wade's "Convict conditioning".

[@citizenz4640]

this is a way better book as you actually learn how to implement your routines and you won't have to depend on other programs

[@Alexmar345]

Hi! Seit wann machst du eigentlich die RR und gibt es von dir auch so ein Erfahrungsvideo mit Vorher oder Nachher Bildern oder so? :)

[@tykato]

Moin Alex! Ich hab' die RR für genau 12 Monate gemacht und dann auf Antranik's Ring Programm gewechselt (weil die RR zu einfach wurde). Ein wirkliches vorher-nachher Video gibt es nicht, aber du kannst vorher-nachher Fotos in meinem Video zur RR sehen. Link ist hier: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWWpd6alia-Bna8 - Viel Spaß!

[@Alexmar345]

Sehr nice! Und das nur mit RR? Nichts anderes zwischendurch? Hast du auch Tipps für Anfänger? :) Und vor allem die wichtigste Frage überhaupt; Hast du auf deine Ernährung geachtet oder einfach gefuttert? Btw. Antranik ist super! Ich mache seinen Joga-Kurs schon seit einer Weile und überlege endlich auch mal mit Krafttraining anzufangen. Darf man fragen aus welchem Bundesland du kommst?

[@tykato]

Ich hab' tatsächlich nur mit der RR gearbeitet, jedenfalls für den Oberkörper. Drei Mal die Woche und an den Ruhetagen gehe ich z.B. Laufen oder mache Yoga. Seit Anfang diesen Jahres ist Bouldern/Klettern dazugekommen. Sport für die Beine mache ich schon mein ganzes Leben - ich bin zum Beispiel Lauftrainer und bereite Anfänger auf Hindernisläufe wie Tough Mudder vor, habe aber auch Marathonerfahrung, usw. Deshalb habe ich auch sehr stark trainierte Beine. Auch mit Flexibilitätstraining habe ich viel Vorerfahrung durch fast 20 Jahre Yoga. Allerdings habe ich mich hier nie in die ganz fortgeschrittenen Skills gewagt, wie z.B. den Spagat oder Handstand. Das hole ich seit letztem Jahr allerdings nach und habe dabei gute Fortschritte (wie du ja in manchen meiner Videos siehst!). :) Auf meine Ernährung achte ich nur sporadisch. Ich esse allerdings keine Fertigprodukte, sondern koche und bereite alles selber zu. Viel Eiweiß muss auch sein, darauf achte ich. Ich zähle aber keine Kalorien oder sowas. Hoffe das hilft dir weiter! Liebe Grüße und ein frohes Fest!

[@maltormash1048]

hi, I have been doing the reddit RR for about 10 weeks and have done nothing like it in the past . I am pleased with my progression so far and was looking to spend some money on possibly a GMB program. In your opinion as a beginner would I be better to by the book just now and continue with the RR or get some individual advice from GMB ? Thanks for all the uploads

[@tykato]

It depends on where your preference lies! The book has a ton of information for a beginner, possibly even an information flood - so if you love to read and learn get it! If, however, you would like to focus on your training first, picking up a GMB beginner program is money well spent! :)

[@maltormash1048]

Tykato Fitness thanks man, think I will go for the book this month, still learning proper form with the basic exercises. Been benefiting from the deep squat challenge.

[@tykato]

Alright, sounds good! Thanks for doing the squat challenge! Enjoy the training journey and the read. :)

[@nicolailandwehr1369]

Hey Tykato, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob mein Englisch für das Original reicht. Lässt es sich gut/einfach lesen? Die Übersetzung soll ja nicht so gut sein.

[@tykato]

Hey, es lässt sich ganz gut lesen auf Englisch. Notfalls mit dem Übersetzer nachgucken! Es lohnt sich. :)

[@adwayduttagupta9887]

Can you please kindly tell me the reference of this book??

[@tykato]

Hey, can you explain further what you mean?

[@alejandroblondell7470]

Just wonderful, been searching for "calisthenics gym workout" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Jamescan Calisthenics Caboshed - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got great success with it.
