I've always wanted to get into Calisthenics to increase my functional strength and overall mobility. This book does not disappoint! Everything is clear, concise, and the Yellow Dude shows you exactly what to do. Absolutely perfect for beginners or pros.
I’m 46 years old starting from 0 and I’m loving it training for a month and I already feel stronger and healthier
Thank you for your kind words. It’s great to hear the training is making a difference. Remember, even a slow walk can be a sprint in the right direction. Keep at it and enjoy the journey.
I love the style and explanations, keeping it simple! Would have loved if dips were introduced as well, as muscle ups too.
you can see the book is really well structured and has a lot of drawings to show you exactly how to perform the exercises correctly, and it is really good for beginners and advanced as well. I really love this book, and I think every person who wants to get better at those exercises and have the basics of chalastenic is going to love it too
I think the routines should be the backbone of the book. The most viewed pages. So everything have to stem from there. Having the routines at the end and the explanation of each exercise 50 pages away is a pain.
Another thing is the quality of the routine images. I have to zoom in a lot to see clearly and everything looks blurry. I would split each level of the routines in a single page so it's easier to read and understand.
Absolutely fantastic book about calisthenics! It makes it all a fun thing to do, which is the most important thing to make the habit stick.
Detail and clarity .
It was great. The way all the content is explained and illustrated it's just so good. I loved the book.
Thank you for your positive feedback, Hugo. We're glad you found the content clear and well-illustrated. If you ever get tired of working out, at least you won't get bored with the explanations. We appreciate your support.
I like how detailed the book is. Not only that, its creative and aesthetically pleasing a bonus.Wayne really puthis skills and creativity to an awesome item that is worth every penny!
This book transformed how I train. Instead of chasing flashy moves, it helped me focus on mastering the basics—push-ups, pull-ups, and squats—through smart progressions and great visuals. It’s the perfect blend of simplicity, depth, and fun. A must-have for anyone serious about calisthenics.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Nir. We're glad the book helped you focus on the fundamentals. Remember, mastering the basics is like building a house—without a strong foundation, everything else might just fall apart. We appreciate your support.
Cool book
Hi Yellow Dude, I've got to know you from Instagram, then from youtube with all your tips, and finally to the play book, I haven't started yet but I'm already confident that it will help me getting started🔥, What I really wish for would be more similar playbooks like this one that have more exercises, explanations and of course more ⚡Yellow Dude ⚡
illustrations.
I would definetly buy more playbooks like this, very appreciate the effort in making it, I will keep following all youtube videos🔥,
Stay strong and🔥ENGAGE THE CORE 🔥
The Art and how theirs a lot of detail in each workout showing you what to do and what not to do and it makes you want to go and understand how to do each workout correctly and helps you build muscle and not make mistakes, one example is in the pull-up page and says to have your arms shoulder width apart and keep your legs together and your core tight all helped me build muscle a lot, I enjoy reading this and I also build muscle quicker.
Your dedication to learning and nailing the details is what truly makes the difference. It’s awesome to see how focused you are on doing things the right way and making real progress. Keep that drive going—results like yours don’t happen by accident.
I found the playbook simple and very user friendly. Good explanations without boring you with too much science.

Powerful content, full of details to a perfect execution of motion! Must to have !!! Masterpiece
I am impressed by how comprehensive and detailed the Calisthenics Manual is! As someone who has been doing calisthenics for a while, I thought I knew most of the exercises out there. I made a mistake! This playbook introduced me to new variations and progressions that have taken my workouts to a whole new level. The layout of the book makes it extremely user friendly and easy to navigate through different sections based on skill levels and goals.
It’s great to hear the Playbook introduced you to new variations and progressions! It’s always exciting to see how small tweaks can elevate a workout. Glad the layout is working well for you—making it easy to navigate and stay focused on your goals is exactly what we aimed for. Keep leveling up!
PS: Great physique!
The book is amazing and it gives me a good idea of what to train in order to get stronger. I’ve gained so much from the book and I’ve gotten a lot stronger.
1000/1000 definitely would recommend 🔥
Definitely also wouldn’t mind becoming an ambassador for Gravgear 🔥🔥🔥
Team Gravgear,
First of congratulations on producing such a wonderful playbook.
I feel the playbooks scores on
a) simple to understand - how to do a exericise, what points to focus on.
b) level-1 is doable and gives enough cues to
c) do progressions.
Personally for me. I have been consistent in the last one month and doing PU / SQ rotines 3/4 times a week an can see differences (for better) in the way I do a push up or squat - I have better control. I am at Level 2 on SQ moving to Level 3 coming week but have yet to tick all the boxes for PU to progress to level 3. Thanks Team Gravgear and say Hi to Yellowdude (Excellent artwork)
I only wish future revisions is available to early buyers free of cost.
Cheers
Murthy
