" Get Strong is a phenomenal program. In this book, the Kavadlo Brothers will guide you from the very beginning and help you build a proper foundation. From there, they’ll gradually progress you through four phases of strength, giving you the progressions and programing details to take you beyond what you ever thought possible."
— MARK SISSON , author of The Primal Blueprint
"To be strong is one thing, to teach strength is another. The Kavadlo brothers embody both. They explain everything in great detail, while providing clear images of them using the world as their gym."
— ED CHECO , founder and CEO of Barstarzz
"I have read every word the brothers have written at least a dozen times, and there is no doubt about it— this is definitely the best book they have ever produced . Both the brothers teamed up for this one, and the elite-level calisthenics knowledge and passion these men have accumulated over decades of training and coaching at the highest level really shows on every page.
It's got all the programming you need to get to the highest possible level of bodyweight strength, plus, it's full of the wisdom and tactics you need to be able to apply that programming. I am very, very excited to see what students of bodyweight strength—newcomers and old dogs—are gonna be able to achieve with this book!!"

How to Build a Better Body Fast
Where do you belong on the strength continuum? And where do you want to be?
