//-->PRAISE FOR EXPLOSIVE CALISTHENICS“The first physical attribute we lose as we age is our ability to generate power. Close behind is theloss of skilled, coordinated movement. Both of these losses lead to frailty and devastating falls in oldage. The fix is never to lose these abilities in the first place! Paul Wade’sExplosive Calisthenicsisthe best program for developing power and skilled movement I have seen. Just as with his previoustwo books, the progressions are masterful with no fancy equipment needed.You don’t have to achieve a full back flip or kip up to get HUGE benefit from mastering the earlyprogressions. It doesn’t matter if you are a 20-year old looking to push your power and agility to newheights or approaching middle age, trying to slow the hands of time. Do yourself a favor and get thisamazing work. This book will be the gold standard for developing bodyweight power, skill, andagility.”—CHRIS HARDY,D.O. MPH, CSCS, author,Strong Medicine“Martial arts supremacy is all about explosive power and speed, and you will possess both onceyou’ve mastered the hardcore exercises inExplosive Calisthenics.Take your solo training to a levelyou never even imagined with these teeth-gritting, heart-palpating exercises—from a master of thegenre.”—LOREN W. CHRISTENSEN,author of over 50 books, includingFighting Power: How toDevelop Explosive Punches, Kicks, Blocks,andGrappling and Speed Training: How to DevelopYour Maximum Speed for Martial Arts“ExplosiveCalisthenicsby Paul ‘Coach’ Wade is a masterfully constructed roadmap for theattainment of power, functional speed, and agility. The book is extreme in that only a small percentageof the population would be able or willing to fully take the challenge, but at the same time, brilliant inthat the path proceeds methodically and progressively from relatively simple to extremely advanced,allowing a discretionary endpoint for each individual.The book is also refreshingly raw. The exercises are all done using only bodyweight and little inthe way of equipment. There are only five moves to master and yet each is a proverbial double-edgesword—at the same time dangerous yet potentially transformative.Take this on and I doubt you will ever again be satisfied with the mundane bench press or the otherexercise machines found in the typical gym.”—PATRICK ROTH, M.D.,author ofThe End of Back Pain: Access Your Hidden Core toHeal Your Body,Chairman of Neurosurgery at Hackensack University Medical Center and thedirector of its neurosurgical residency training program.“Once again, Paul ‘Coach’ Wade, inspires with a life-changing approach to fitness that relies onlyon the weight of one’s body. In his comprehensive new book,Explosive Calisthenics,he presentshow calisthenics can and should be taken to the next level. Starting as he always does, with history ofthe early practitioners of bodyweight training,Explosive Calisthenicsexplains the widelymisunderstood difference between ‘strength’ and ‘power’ as perhaps the key theme. This crucialdistinction is what defines truly functional exercise as a life-long endeavor that has been a fountain ofyouth since ancient times.To that, Wade ties his dynamic calisthenics to popular disciplines including my own, martial arts—drawing on exercises specific to the combative arts, but applicable to any physical activity. Wadealso includes basic jumps, rolls, and somersaults as key parts of the regimen. Correctly, Wade prefersnot to define these as ‘gymnastics’ but as whole-body explosive power and speed training. While thismay not be for everyone at first, I would encourage the calisthenics-advanced non-gymnast, to givethese ‘explosive’ movements a try.Of particular note to me as a long-time proponent of time-tested, more functional fitness training, Ivery much appreciated Wade’s discussion of developing the senses as a fundamental part ofExplosive Calisthenics.As a professional, more traditional martial artist and Chen Taijiquanpractitioner, development of the senses through exercises that utilize whole-body movement andstringent eye-hand-foot coordination practices, Wade’s presentation of total senses development aspart of advanced calisthenics training is fantastic to see.And lastly, Wade’s emphasis on solo training, which he explains so well, is something not to beover-looked. The importance of solo training not only builds true functional fitness, but as Wadedescribes, provides an inner strength and focus that spoke directly to me as a traditional martial artist.In my teachings I’ve always maintained that relying on no one else or any apparatus other than yourown body for core training is what truly separates the master from the student and from those whocan’t let go of psychological and physical baggage that holds them back, from those whom depend onnothing other their own strength. Wade’s discussion of this ageless wisdom is magnificent to see andis to me the heart and soul ofExplosive Calisthenics.”—STEPHAN BERWICK,authorTrue Strength Yang“ExplosiveCalisthenicsis an absolute Treasure Map for anybody looking to tear down theirbody’s athletic limitations.

The chapter on programming, the sets and reps of things, has a series of rules that you willinstantly claim as your own.“I can’t believe we abandoned traditional calisthenics in our schools and training programs, butthis book is the best argument I know for carrying signs in front of schools proclaiming ‘No More
