Update on the Calisthenics Playbook Delivery (15 June 2023)
We have an important update regarding the highly anticipated Calisthenics Playbook and its delayed delivery.
The original delivery date for the Playbook was set for June 30, 2023. However, we have made the decision to postpone the release to July 22, 2023 for some important reasons.
Progress So Far
We've made significant progress. To be precise, out of the target 100 pages, we're now at page 48.
We've completed the push-ups program, including ten push-up variations and progressions. From foundational exercises like the plank and scapula push-up, the program builds to more challenging variations like the diamond push-up, archer push-up, and the ultimate goal, the one-arm push-up.
In the pull-up program, we've focused on helping you unlock your pull-up potential. We've added variations like bodyweight rowing, scapula pull-up, and negative pull-ups to build strength and technique. To keep things interesting and effective, we're also including gear variations using resistance bands and weights.
We've also outlined seven exercises for the pistol squat program. We're still working on adding more graphics and conducting research to refine the points. We're dedicated to making this section as informative and beneficial as the others. Stay tuned for more updates.
Why the Delay?
We're taking time to enhance the Playbook's content. Our goal is to deepen your understanding of the science behind your workouts, so we're including detailed explanations of anatomy. We're also adding many side notes and error notes, paired with different angles and perspectives, to enhance your learning experience.
Upgrade graphics
During production, we noticed graphic details that needed attention. We initially thought about using existing graphics from our social media content to speed things up. However, we couldn't compromise on quality. We're committed to delivering a polished and visually appealing product, so we decided to improve these areas.
Can we get it done in the extended timeline?
We understand the concerns. After all, it took us three months to write 48 pages. However, it's important to note that creating these pages isn't just about writing. It involves creating raw graphics, formulating the overall structures of the programs, copywriting, and then editing everything into the final book layout.
We are pleased to say that these ingredients are largely ready to be input into the layout of the book. So, while it might seem like we are behind, we are actually well on our way to the finish line.
Immediate release of wallpaper to pre-order buyers
All preorders of the Calisthenics Playbook were set to include a free accompanying wallpaper, originally intended to be released along with the book. In light of the delay, we've decided to release this wallpaper immediately to all who have pre-ordered.
If you have already placed your preorder, expect an email with a download link for four versions of the 4K wallpaper.
Any preorders placed from the date of this blog onward will receive the wallpaper upon the book's release. This is just a small token of our gratitude for your patience and support during this time.
Wrap up
We understand a delay can be frustrating and we apologize for the inconvenience. Since our pre-order launch in March, we've been diligently crafting this 100-page playbook, a larger task than initially anticipated. But rest assured, we won't compromise on quality or give you anything less than our best.
Though the wait may be disappointing, we believe the final product will be well worth it. We value your patience, understanding, and unwavering support during this time.
