pavel's new book is out--_beyond bodybuilding_....typically i'm not interested in such things, but, as i noticed that there was a section in it on calisthenics i decided to buy it. it's available in ebook format, also available in sections which is cool, as i bought just the section that i was interested in, for $17.
my criteria in assessing an information product is simple: does this have anything NEW that i can use? i stress the "new" part because so many people are cranking out rehashed "information products" that contain information that can be easily found other where for free.
he begins with a description of ladders, in particular the way ladders were used by the russian spetsnaz. all of this info may be found here:

next, he describes 2 different pushups programs--one of his own devising, the other the NASA pushups program. both of these are "grease the groove" type programs, involving daily pushup activity based on percentages of one's maximum number of reps. nothing too interesting here.
next come a couple of forearm exercises, a modified walking lunge exercise called the "dragon walk", some stuff on quadrapedal movements, tiger bend pushups, pike pushups, and wringing out wet towels as a upper-body exercise.
nothing really new here, folks...
