It is increasingly understood that strength training and muscle building are among the most important things we can do for our health, particularly as we age. But embarking on a strength training program can be very intimidating and frightening. Do I need an expensive gym membership? Must I lift weights or use machines that I don't understand? How will I know what exercises to do and how often to do them? Do I have to hire a trainer? Did you know that you can build just as much strength and muscle using your own body weight and very little to no equipment at all? Progressive body-weight calisthenics uses basic exercises and variations in hand or foot position, posture, and body angle to systematically increase or decrease the difficulty of a movement. This makes it suitable for anyone, no matter their age or experience level. Can't do a push-up? No problem, this book tells you where to start and shows you how to get strong enough to do twenty! But do I have to do handstands and hang upside down from a bar? No, you can build as much strength and muscle as you want using systematic progressions of three simple body-weight calisthenics exercises: the Push-Up, the Pull-Up and the Squat. And you can do the exercises just about anywhere and just about any time! This book outlines three phases of training, where you begin by selecting the exercise variations that are suitable to your level. Then you work on form and familiarity until you are comfortable performing each of the three exercises with good form. At this point you begin your systematic training with a maximum of three workouts a week lasting no more than 30 minutes per workout. As your strength increases you will be able to do more with each workout until you are ready to "graduate" from those exercises and move to the next most difficult variation in each of the three movement categories. Then the process starts over until you once again move to the next level. And there is no limit to how far you can go!Before you know it, that push-up you struggled to complete at the beginning will become easy and you very well might be doing things you never thought you'd be able to do. So, let's get started!

How to Build a Better Body Fast Where do you belong on the strength continuum? And where do you want to be? Too often, we know what we should be doing to gain strength, but we lack direction, a plan, motivation and intelligent guidance to make appreciable gains over the long haul. We have no real goal, no proper focus and therefore underachieve--going nowhere with our strength... Get Strong is a guidebook for those who are dissatisfied with their current rate of progress--and who want to effect lasting changes, fast... While the Kavadlo brothers have achieved supreme feats of calisthenics strength--like the one-arm pull up, the human flag and the back lever--they have also spent decades helping thousands of clients meet and often exceed their training goals. So, you can consider the Kavadlos curators of not only the most effective bodyweight exercises, but also the programming needed to extract the full juice from those chosen drills. As experienced architects and constructors of strength, the Kavadlos know what it takes to advance from absolute newbie to elite practitioner. You'll discover what key exercises in what exact progressions will give you the best results in the fastest, safest time.

"Al and Danny cut to a depth that most calisthenic practitioners will never reach. What you have before you is a well researched, practical approach to achieving your fitness goals through bodyweight training, produced by the experts in their field." --Jeff Cavaliere MSPT, CSCS ATHLEAN-X(tm) "In Arnold's classic book, The Education of a Bodybuilder, Arnold stresses the importance of bodyweight training. His insights are brilliant, correct and... completely ignored. Danny and Al once again remind us of the need for bodyweight training in their new book, Next Level Strength. I have been using the techniques that Danny and Al have taught me personally and I continue to make progress well after the age of sixty. This is amazing information brought to you by two of the best people I know." --Dan John, Author of The Hardstyle Kettlebell Challenge "Next Level Strength takes all the power of old school calisthenics and blasts it to a higher level! Just when I think the Kavadlo library of advanced calisthenics cannot possibly be improved upon, they raise the game for everyone else! Next Level Strength is brilliant...make no mistake: this is the ULTIMATE manual on using rings and parallettes as old school calisthenics tools. As I've gotten older I've found myself utilizing the techniques in this awesome book more and more...the result has ALWAYS been the same: old aches and pains vanish, my joints heal, I gain fresh muscle, and I make breakthroughs in total-body strength. If you have seen rings and parallettes in gyms and were wondering how to use them to take your training to the next level quickly and safely, or if you are just looking for new tools to explode your athleticism beyond your old limits, Next Level Strength belongs on your bookshelf! 10/10!" --Paul "Coach" Wade, Author of Convict Conditioning "Danny and Al Kavadlo have truly taken their already masterful bodyweight strength instruction to the next level with Next Level Strength. Rings and parallettes are great training tools, but the genius of this book is in the exercise selection and progressions. The program is accessible to the beginner, while giving the advanced trainee all they can handle. Most importantly, the program is fun and goal oriented, and will be in regular rotation with my own training. The Kavadlos always set the bar high with the quality of their books, and I think this one will become my favorite, which is saying a lot. Next Level Strength should be on the bookshelf of any serious student of strength. Highly recommended!" --Dr. Chris Hardy, co-author of Strong Medicine
