2.0 out of 5 stars Just read the website info. 25 Mar 2011
By D. Williams
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found the website first, and I was very impressed with it. I started the exercise program and got all the way to week 4, but then started to struggle with progress. I then started to wonder if the book might provide more information that could get me past my plateau, so I bought it.
Quite frankly, I think there is actually less info in the book. The extras that the webite refer to are simply trivia and historical facts about other people's press-up records. Nothing in the book provided extra training tips, or advice on form, that I could use. Not only that, the sets of press-ups required to complete each training session are completely different in the book to the ones published on the website, so to continue with the program I was already on I would have to ignore the information in the book I just paid for!
I have switched to the sets planned out in the book, and I am now making slow progress again, but I don't think it's the book that actually helped me. If you haven't lost money on this product already, I would suggest you steer clear and use the free online version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gradual break in to a difficult exercise. 11 Dec 2010
By Clive Smart
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Press ups, for me- associated with punishment for misdemeanours in the military, or in the Dojo or in PE at school. However the beauty of this book is that it takes you on a gradual journey into the world of push ups and gets you started on a 3 day a week training program to suite you (from fit to barely able to do 1 press up). You can blast through these sessions (Mon, Wed, Fri)in around 10-15 mins and I still did all my martial arts and Triathlon stuff in and around it- no probs.
I'm only starting week 4 but already my upper body strength, posture and arms are revolutionised. Its made me realise how important good upper body strength is to self esteem and health in general. More natural and gradual than pumping loads of weights and waking up the next day with rigamortis! Good buy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work for me. 17 April 2010
By Mr. J. S. Buchanan
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There is nothing new in this book at all and I don't think the approach of increasing numbers and sets but leaving rest periods the same works either.Doing a 100 press ups divided into sets of ten or twenty and steadily decreasing the rest period makes more sense and certainly got me up to 60 press ups at 44 years old. All those who follow and are successful with the program from the book must be super light with incredible muscular endurance. I find it hard to believe that a runner with no previous upper body training can succeed with this program, as stated in the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, obviously it doesn't work for everyone
Disappointing. I followed the programme in this book exactly but did not achieve the results it promised (strength, body tone, etc). Obviously it doesn't work for everyone.

Good form should put your chest within an inch or two of the floor. There is no specific need to touch the floor with your chest, but aim to form a 90-degree angle at your elbow joint. &quote;
