UPDATED 1/25/12 I have started a list of various books that emphasize bodyweight training. Some of these are real books while others are digital products, those that you download. This is not a complete list and I am sure that I have forgotten some titles. It does not include all of the various "gymnastics" books or bodyweight training books written in the late 1800's and early 1900's, nor does it include titles emphasizing self-resistance, dynamic tension, or isometrics. I have included one title on "manual resistance" by Dan Riley. There are also quite a number of videos out there that are not on this list. I do not own every single title on this list but I do own many of them. That being the case I can't comment on the quality of those titles I don't own or haven't seen. This is just a reference list for those that may have interest.

Very nice list. A lot of stuff I've never heard of. I might have to do some researching to find out more about these books and which ones are worth picking up.

Thanks! I do own a good many of them and have seen / previewed many that I don't own. If you are interested in my personal opinion of any specific titles just let me know. Steve

Do you own The Muscle Experiment? If so, can you comment on how good it is?

Do you own The Muscle Experiment? If so, can you comment on how good it is? Yes , I do own it. I was a bit skeptical because of the cost and the hyped-up ad but decided to check it out. To be honest I wish it had been a little less expensive but overall I am glad that I got it. The program itself is based on very basic bodyweight exercises and a simple progression. The full-body workouts require approximately 45 minutes 3 days per week. He provides a 6 month beginner program and a 6 month advanced program. There is a lot of emphasis on form, tempo and time under tension. Mike is also a big believer in allowing the body to adapt to an exercise before changing it or adding reps. Intensity tools include static holds and giant-sets. Most of the workouts are low to medium volume but there are a couple of high volume workouts. Overall,
