“Paul Wade's section on developing the sides of the body in Convict
Conditioning 2 is brilliant. Hardstyle!”
—Pavel Tsatsouline, author of The Naked Warrior

“The overriding principle of Convict Conditioning 2 is ‘little equipment-big
rewards’. For the athlete in the throwing and fighting arts, the section on
Lateral Chain Training, Capturing the Flag, is a unique and perhaps singular
approach to training the obliques and the whole family of side muscles. This
section stood out to me as ground breaking and well worth the time and
energy by anyone to review and attempt to complete. Literally, this is a new
approach to lateral chain training that is well beyond sidebends and suitcase
deadlifts.
The author’s review of passive stretching reflects the experience of many of
us in the field. But, his solution might be the reason I am going to recommend
this work for everyone: The Trifecta. This section covers what the author calls
The Functional Triad and gives a series of simple progressions to three holds
that promise to oil your joints. It's yoga for the strength athlete and supports
the material one would find, for example, in Pavel’s Loaded Stretching .
I didn't expect to like this book, but I come away from it practically insisting
that everyone read it. It is a strongman book mixed with yoga mixed with
street smarts. I wanted to hate it, but I love it.”
—Dan John, author of Don’t Let Go and co-author of Easy Strength
“Coach Paul Wade has outdone himself. His first book Convict Conditioning is to
my mind THE BEST book ever written on bodyweight conditioning. Hands down.
Now, with the sequel Convict Conditioning 2, Coach Wade takes us even deeper into
the subtle nuances of training with the ultimate resistance tool: our bodies.
In plain English, but with an amazing understanding of anatomy, physiology, kinesi-
ology and, go figure, psychology, Coach Wade explains very simply how to work the
smaller but just as important areas of the body such as the hands and forearms, neck
and calves and obliques in serious functional ways.
His minimalist approach to exercise belies the complexity of his system and the
deep insight into exactly how the body works and the best way to get from A to Z in
the shortest time possible.
I got the best advice on how to strengthen the hard-to-reach extensors of the hand
right away from this exercise Master I have ever seen. It's so simple but so completely
functional I can't believe no one else has thought of it yet. Just glad he figured it out
for me.
Paul teaches us how to strengthen our bodies with the simplest of movements while
at the same time balancing our structures in the same way: simple exercises that work
the whole body.
And just as simply as he did with his first book. His novel approach to stretching
and mobility training is brilliant and fresh as well as his take on recovery and healing
from injury. Sprinkled throughout the entire book are too-many-to-count insights and
advice from a man who has come to his knowledge the hard way and knows exactly
of what he speaks.
This book is, as was his first, an amazing journey into the history of physical culture
disguised as a book on calisthenics. But the thing that Coach Wade does better than
any before him is his unbelievable progressions on EVERY EXERCISE and stretch!
He breaks things down and tells us EXACTLY how to proceed to get to whatever
level of strength and development we want. AND gives us the exact metrics we need
to know when to go to the next level.
Adding in completely practical and immediately useful insights into nutrition and
the mindset necessary to deal not only with training but with life, makes this book a
classic that will stand the test of time.
Bravo Coach Wade, Bravo.”
—Mark Reifkind, Master RKC, author of Mastering the HardStyle Kettlebell Swing
“I’ve been lifting weights for over 50 years and have trained in the martial arts
since 1965. I’ve read voraciously on both subjects, and written dozens of magazine
articles and many books on the subjects. This book and Wade’s first, Convict
Conditioning, are by far the most commonsense, information-packed, and result
producing I’ve read. These books will truly change your life.
Paul Wade is a new and powerful voice in the strength and fitness arena, one
that is commonsense, inspiring, and in your face. His approach to maximizing
your body’s potential is not the same old hackneyed material you find in every
book and magazine piece that pictures steroid-bloated models screaming as they
curl weights. Wade’s stuff has been proven effective by hard men who don’t toler-
ate fluff. It will work for you, too—guaranteed.
As an ex-cop, I’ve gone mano-y-mano with ex-cons that had clearly trained as
Paul Wade suggests in his two Convict Conditioning books. While these guys did-
n’t look like steroid-fueled bodybuilders (actually, there were a couple who did), all
were incredibly lean, hard and powerful. Wade blows many commonly held beliefs
about conditioning, strengthening, and eating out of the water and replaces them
with result-producing information that won’t cost you a dime.”
—Loren W. Christensen, author of Fighting the Pain Resistant Attacker, and
many other titles
***
Convict Conditioning is one of the most influential books I ever got my hands
on. Convict Conditioning 2 took my training and outlook on
the power of bodyweight training to the 10th degree—from strengthening the
smallest muscles in a maximal manner, all the way to using bodyweight training as
a means of healing injuries that pile up from over 22 years of aggressive lifting.
I've used both Convict Conditioning and Convict Conditioning 2 on myself and
with my athletes. Without either of these books I can easily say that these boys
would not be the BEASTS they are today. Without a doubt Convict Conditioning
2 will blow you away and inspire and educate you to take bodyweight training to
a whole NEW level.”
—Zach Even-Esh, Underground Strength Coach
