I'm hoping for a L sit addition 🙂
The Calisthenics Playbook for Push Pull Squat by Yellow Dude is hands down one of the most useful fitness resources I’ve ever used. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your bodyweight training to the next level, this playbook breaks things down in a way that’s easy to follow and super motivating.
The illustrations are clean and clear, and the progression structure actually makes sense. It’s not just random exercises thrown together – it’s a real plan. The way it builds from beginner to advanced movements helped me stay consistent and see real improvement without feeling overwhelmed.
What I appreciate most is that you don’t need fancy equipment or a gym. Everything is designed to be done anywhere, which makes it perfect for home workouts or travel.
If you’re serious about calisthenics or just want to get stronger using your own bodyweight, this is absolutely worth it. Yellow Dude really nailed it with this one.
The book is really great and breaks down everything really easily but in the workout plan I am confused. It says to advance to the next level when you can do the first exercise of the level before it. Should I only be able to do half of the reps of the first exercise or what should I do?
Hi Hummas,
Thank you for your kind words. If you can perform at least 3–5 clean reps of that first exercise in the next level (the 'test'), with control and no pain or major form breakdown, you're probably ready. You don't need to master the whole rep scheme (like 3x8 or 3x10) of the next level before moving up. Just prove you're ready to start training it.
Let’s say you're on Push Level 3 and the first exercise of Level 4 is Explosive Push-Up. Once you can do 3–5 good explosive push-ups, you can advance to Level 4 and begin building volume there. You don’t need to do 3 sets of 8 explosive push-ups before moving up. That’s what Level 4 training is for.
But always remember, the correct form is more important than volume and reps.
Better than YouTube totourials Sometimes.
Cool Idea for people who loves books and Sport
It is not the first time I've tried to start working out. Because of lack of structure or a roadmap in the past, I always ended up leaving it. But this time is different, the guides and routines presented in this book have helped me to create a routine and make it a habit, while also showing me proper form to keep me injury free. I'm always coming back to it because I'm still learning, and it seems like this book will keep me company for a while, because I got a long road ahead.
The way things are explained make it easy to follow, not just the images (that are the main focus and help a ton), but also the written explanations. It helps me understand what muscles I'm working, how I'm working and why I'm working them. 10/10 totally worth it.
Very good so far have seen improvement and easy to apply to workouts. Love it.
Well written, the detailed instructions make it easier to understand on how to build a program from lv1 to lv5. Looking forward to see what’s next.
Great book with lots of good info and illustrations. I was expecting more workouts for more progressed lifters. A section on advanced techniques would be cool!
I thoroughly enjoy reading and using this book to master the fundamental skills. Even beginners should find it very easy to understand and follow. The training routine is awesome. It motivates me to push myself to higher levels. Thank you so much for the great work!
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 🔥
Very high quality. Easy to set up. Adjustable. Very ergonomic and comfortable. The first time I used it I loaded it up with 10kg and felt good, got me sweating. Looks much better than your average ruck vest. Highly recommend!
Having over-complicated my workout routines in the past, this do-anywhere program is a great fit for anyone looking to gain functional strength. I highly recommend getting this book.
Frankly, the little screw plastic cap are the only think I can complain about.
Those paralletes are everything I was looking for.
The weight is perfect
I have been using it for about 4 months now. Like it that it fits even people who are relatively small in size and also that we can work our way up with the weights, starting 1 kg all the way to 12 kg, even though it isn't my intention or ability to go anywhere near there.
Will be very happy already if it can help me build up my bone mineral density! Good workmanship and quality. Hope there'll be promotions more often though (I bought it on one); friends find it a bit pricey without a discount.
This playbook is exactly what I need. I was an ego lifter in the past and was going about fitness the completely wrong way. Calisthenics has become my safe place and I love seeing how strong I can get by just using my body. I’ve only recently started using the tips and guides in this book and I can see and feel my growth each and every day. The illustrations make it very easy to follow and execute good form for each exercise. I can’t wait to see what progress I will make in the months to come. Thank you for the hard work that was put into the book for people like me! 👍
Wow! Your message truly made our day. It's amazing to hear how calisthenics has become your safe place and how you're already seeing and feeling the results from the playbook. Strength built through bodyweight training is incredibly rewarding, and we have no doubt that your progress in the coming months will be impressive!
Keep pushing forward, and if you ever need guidance or motivation, we’re here for you. Thanks again for your support and for sharing your journey with us! 💯🙌
The playbook is a really nice addition if you have always trained by yourself, it is very easy to understand and teaches how to do things right in an ordely fashion.
Would recommend it to all people who plan do become fit and strong ;)
Very clear step by step instructions.
