My "Convict Conditioning" Progress - Support Press - Step 1 (Close Grip)

I have finally met the Progression Standard for the close grip Support Press, which is the final phase of Step One of the Press Flag progression from "Convict Conditioning 2" by Paul "Coach" Wade. With the Support Press, you start out using a wide grip and gradually move the hand on the vertical bar closer to the horizontal bar. I started out with 5 second sets and worked up to 10 seconds before moving the grip in closer. Once you can hold the close grip for 10 seconds, it's on to Step Two.

This is actually the second day of doing 10 second holds. I am going to stay at this step in the progression until the 10 second hold becomes easy and second nature. This is a very difficult hold for me, and I have a lot of discomfort in my shoulder joints while performing it. I don't want to move too quickly and try to progress before I am ready. Patience is key. Listen to your body!

Al Kavadlo's Raising the Bar DVD: The Definitive Guide to Bar Calisthenics


Master The Art of Bar Athletics and Forge the Upper Body of Your Dreams—Without the Need for Weights, Machines or Gym Memberships!

Personal trainer and bar-athlete extraordinaire, Al Kavadlo believes you don’t need a gym membership or any fancy equipment to get in the best shape of your life. All you need to build a strong, muscular upper body is a simple pull-up bar. 

In Raising the Bar: The Definitive Guide to Pull-up Bar Calisthenics, Kavadlo breaks down every type of exercise you can do with a pull-up bar.  From the basic two arm hang, to the mighty muscle-up, all the way to the elusive one arm pull-up, the “bar master” takes you step by expert step through everything you need to do to build the chiseled frame you’ve always wanted.

Whether you’re a die-hard calisthenics enthusiast or just looking to get in the best shape of your life, Raising the Bar will meet all your expectations—and then some!
"With Raising The Bar, Al Kavadlo has put forth the perfect primal pull-up program.  Al's progressions and demonstrations make even the most challenging exercises attainable.  Anyone who is serious about pull-ups should get this DVD."
            —Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint
"This DVD is the ultimate training course on bar athletics, masterminded and presented by the man who—for my two cent’s worth—is the greatest calisthenics coach alive today. Raising the Bar is motivational and looks cool as hell, but more important than that, it’s an incredible source of instruction."
            —Paul “Coach” Wade, author of Convict Conditioning

"Al Kavadlo consistently puts out the best info on calisthenics and bodyweight training. His book, Raising the Bar is a killer introduction into the world of the Bar Athlete. Now with the release of the accompanying DVD, Al has truly raised the bar to a whole new level. The DVD combines solid info along with fun and entertainment, as only Al can."
            —Mike Fitch, creator of The Animal Flow Workout

The message is clear: you can earn yourself a stunning upper body with just 3 basic moves and 1 super-simple, yet amazingly versatile tool.

And what’s even better, this 3 + 1 formula for upper body magnificence hides enough variety to keep you challenged and surging to new heights for a lifetime of cool moves and ever-tougher progressions!

Cast in the “concrete jungle” of urban scaffolding and graffiti-laden, blasted walls—and sourced from iconic bar-athlete destinations like Tompkins Square Park, NYC—Raising the Bar rewards you with an inspiring new vision of what the human body can achieve.

Embrace Al Kavadlo’s vision, pick up the challenge, share the Quest, follow directions—and the Holy Grail of supreme upper body fitness is yours for the taking.

Raise the bar of your self-image, raise the bar on what it means to be a man, raise the bar on your fortitude, raise the bar on your toughness—and BE THIS:

  • Stride down the streets with a whole new swagger—your etched set of washboard abs, your righteous pecs, your gnarly forearms and your whipcord frame broadcasting a newfound strength and an animal vitality.
  • Enter a room and command immediate, primal respect from male and female alike—as you exude a quiet sense of confidence and raw power.

All this from a bar and 3 basic moves…

A word of warning to the wise, though: you’ll discover drills included in Raising the Bar that take the wildest skill and the greatest of functional strength to pull off. Like any true quest there are dragons to be faced here at your peril.

Be inspired by the ultimate vision of human performance you’ll see in the playful yet detail-packed instructional sequences—but as Al Kavadlo would be the first to recommend, find a strong band of training brothers and a solid training mentor if you are intent on attaining the greatest of feats that lie before you in Raising the Bar.

"Convict Conditioning" Ultimate Bodyweight Training Log


“When It Comes to Serious Training, You Keep a Log Or You Fail…”

Save Yourself From Failure—With The Ultimate Bodyweight Training Log






























































We’ve all heard the phrase “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”. And never was this more true than in the quest for strength!

So, what are the two golden keys, or secrets to bending the flesh to the spirit’s desire?

The first secret is the system—and the system is dedicated, organized application over time. And in the hard world of strength that means keeping track of your goals and measuring your progress. When it comes to serious training, you keep a log or you fail. The sins of sloppiness, haphazardness, laziness and disorganization lay waste to our dreams of physical achievement—and sabotage the best intentions to beat our flesh into righteous steel. We invite you to exorcize the demons of weakness from your flesh—with a “religious” dedication to tracking and measuring—Convict Conditioning style.

The second secret for strength success is inspiration. In this stunning companion to his bestselling bodyweight exercise masterpieces, Convict Conditioning author Paul Wade, goes far, far beyond the traditional log book—by delivering a bucket-load of inspiring stories and jewel-like training tips to push you forward in your quest for ever-greater strength.

This book is the first-ever training log designed specifically for bodyweight athletes. Other logs are structured to contain sections where you detail the amount of weight you used, the type of equipment or machine you worked out on, even what your heart-rate was and what vitamins you took today. You won’t find any of this distracting information in this log. It’s a log for pure, unadulterated, hardcore bodyweight training. We provide the inspiration and the structure—you provide the perspiration and bloody-mindedness to seize the plan and make it happen.

There is a window of opportunity awaiting you. The strength gains that have continued to elude you can finally be yours. That window of opportunity lies within these pages and within your heart. Bring it!

"Convict Conditioning" DVD, Volume 4: Advanced Bridging, Forging an Iron Spine

Erect Twin Pythons of Coiled Beef Up Your Spine and Develop Extreme, Explosive Resilience—With the Dynamic Power and Flexible Strength of Advanced Bridging

Paul Wade’s Convict Conditioning system represents the ultimate distillation of hardcore prison bodyweight training’s most powerful methods. What works was kept. What didn’t, was slashed away. When your life is on the line, you’re not going to mess with less than the absolute best.

Thanks to Paul Wade, these ultimate strength survival secrets have been saved for posterity. And for you…

Filmed entirely—and so appropriately—on “The Rock”, Wade’s Convict Conditioning Volume 4, Advanced Bridging: Forging an Iron Spine explodes out of the cellblock to teach you in absolute detail how to progress from the relative ease of a Short Bridge—to the stunning, “1-in-1,000” achievement of the Stand-to-Stand Bridge. Ten progressive steps guide you to inevitable mastery of this ultimate exercise for an unbreakable back.

This home-study course in ultimate survival strength comes replete with bonus material not available in Paul Wade’s original Convict Conditioning book—and numerous key training tips that refine and expand on the original program.

Prowl through the heavily and gorgeously-illustrated 80-plus-page manual and devour the entire film script at your animal leisure. Digest the brilliant, precise photographs and reinforce the raw benefits you absorbed from the DVD.

Paul Wade adds a bonus Ten Commandments for Perfect Bridges—which is worth the price of admission alone. And there’s the additional bonus of 4 major Variant drills to add explosivity, fun and super-strength to your core practice.

Whatever you are looking for from your bridges—be it supreme suppleness, a tigrishly powerful spine, extreme resilience against injury, or a godlike level of strength-flexibility—it’s yours for the progressive taking with Convict Conditioning Volume 4, Advanced Bridging: Forging an Iron Spine.

11 Reasons To Do Isometrics: A Report By Bud Jeffries

Logan Christopher and strongman Bud Jeffries have recently put together a DVD set called "Extreme Power with Isometrics."

It's been the most popular thing they have released in a long time, probably because there's not much quality information out there on isometric training.

Bud put together a series of articles on why anyone should be doing isometrics in their training, and has compiled them into a FREE report.

My "Convict Conditioning" Progress - Horizontal Tuck Clutch

I'm really starting to get excited about my progress, the further along I get in my Bodyweight training! Since picking up my copy of "Convict Conditioning 2", I have slowly been integrating the exercises in the new book into my "Convict Conditioning" program. One of the things I was most excited about getting started on was the Human Flag progressions. Not only is it a killer workout for your lateral chain, but it's also one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

I have completed the Progression Standard of holding the Diagonal Clutch for 10 seconds. I have now moved on to Step 5, the Horizontal Tuck Clutch, which Al Kavadlo is demonstrating for us in the picture. Things are definitely beginning to get a bit tougher. It's a great feeling to be progressing, though. Like I said before, I am SO looking forward to the day when I can hold a full Human Flag!
