Convict Conditioning: 3%


When I first read Convict Conditioning I found that it held the answers I needed to gain strength and build muscle using only bodyweight exercises. There are six Big Moves that build the chest, back, abs, posterior chain, legs, and shoulders, and they are very intelligently designed. Using logical progressions you can go from hardly able to move your own bodyweight horizontally to being able to lift your whole bodyweight vertically with one arm! That's a big gain – and such gains don't come easily.

If you've researched fitness and exercise, you know there are lots of programs and opinions. When you find something, you have to make a decision – am I going to follow this program, or just dabble in it? And just for clarity here, to follow this program means to stick with it until the end – because there is a definite goal for each Move – the Master Step (one-arm push-ups, full one-leg squats, full one-arm pull-ups, hanging straight leg raises, stand~to-stand bridges, and one-arm handstand push-ups).

According to the Convict Conditioning Super FAQ (39 pages of extra great stuff to go along with CC, which you can get free HERE), on page 9 there's a guess that only 3% of the readers of the book will actually follow the program to the end. Only 3%!! Everyone else will read the book and then let it gather dust while they stay weak – or move on to something else. There's a lot of challenge to sticking with something to until you reach the goal, especially something as extreme as all six Master Steps!. I want to be one of the 3%! The path is laid out – all I have to do is have the fortitude to follow it. The program WORKS, and I'd be a fool to change it or give up on it.

So this is my commitment, posted for all to see. Who will join me? I'll keep you posted on my progress!
