Unless you ran away to the circus years ago, the answer for most people will be no. This book details three techniques (grease the groove, high tension and power breathing) that will allow you to achieve these feats. When strictly followed these techniques really work, and allow you to get a good strength workout any time, anyplace, anywhere, without having to ever venture into a gym.

The beauty of the book is that the techniques can be used on any exercise you choose. I have recently managed to perform a one arm chin up, by following the book's principles. There is no way I could have done this without reading this book. It is that simple!

I do agree that the book is overpriced for a paperback though, and the marketing at the end is annoying.

It's not a thick book, and with the huge typeface and pictures you don't get a lot of info. Not enough for the price he charges anyway.

The book really boils down to just two exercises: Pistols and One Arm pressups. Pistols BTW are one legged squats with the non working leg out in front - it's hard because of the balance more than anything.

He tells you do Grease The Groove - which means you do lots of small easy sets as often as possible so you don't get tired. This supposedly trains the nervous system without exhausting you.

He also covers somewhat bizarre ideas of gaining strength through tension in the body. It's hard to say just how effective this really is.

He advertises his other books quite a lot in the book which is annoying.

So why buy it? I'm not really sure. If you want a book on bodyweight exercises and condtioning then get one of Ross Enamait's books - much better value.
