This chapter was not in the previous edition and is also the first of its kind in any gymnastics, bodyweight, or calisthenics product. This section was designed to educate you on the methods of progress for bodyweight exercises. Barbell and Dumbell exercises are very easy to know how to progress: simply add weight.
However, bodyweight exercises are very difficult to understand how to progress safely and effectively. It is simply more than just adding repetitions until you can reach the next progression. The third part of the book discusses various factors that influence training such as endurance, cardio, cross training, hybrid templates, and routines. It also discusses factors such as overreaching, overtraining, health and injury management, and lifestyle factors such as optimizing sleep, nutrition, and stress for your goals.
All of these factors are important to understand how they influence your training, especially if you are going to add or subtract elements from your routine.
Most fitness books may sparsely mention these things here and there, but Overcoming Gravity Second Edition makes you aware of everything that can influence how you progress and perform. Part four of the book discusses program implementation giving sample routines, real life examples, and commentary about common pitfalls that beginners, intermediates, and advanced may run into in their training.
This section is not so you can go about copying the routines that have been constructed or others have used in the past.
However, it is there to give you a reference and structure on how routines can be built and managed during a cycle, so that you can take what you have learned and implement it well. Finally, the fifth part of the book is everything to do with keeping your body health and exercise. The first part of this section is about common bodyweight training injuries to make you aware of factors that can derail your training. Likewise, the prehabilitation, mobility, and flexibility section gives illustrated examples of these attributes for the wrists, elbows, shoulders, core, and legs.
This allows you to combine these elements into your routine along with your strength work to ensure that you are building the requirements to make it to the next level. The last part of this section is about all of the handstand, pulling, pushing, and combined exercise progressions that you need to work toward high level strength. One of the best parts of the book is the support from the community.
