Wade’s. It’s Convict Conditioning. The most powerful methods of hardcore prison bodyweight training are represented by the system. The works were kept. What did not, was slashed away. You will not mess with less than the absolute best when your life is on the line. Many of these older, very potent solitary training systems have been on the verge of dying, as convicts begin to gain access to weights, and modern bodybuilding thinking floods into the prisons. These survival secrets have been saved thanks to Paul Wade. And for you…

Wade added a bonus. Commandments for perfect pushups. The price of admission alone is worth it. 5 major variant drills add explosivity, fun and super- strength to your core practice.

Whatever you are looking for from your pushups, it is yours for the progressive taking. Volume 1 of The Prison Pushup Series is Convict Conditioning.

One step at a time.

In Paul Wade’s Convict Conditioning system, no matter what kind of movement you’re working on, you focus on a chain of ten progressive exercises. You move on to the next exercise when you master one. The ten steps are the later exercises that build on the earlier ones. It is possible for a human to be in that movement if you reach the tenth exercise. The tenth exercise in a chain is called the Master Step. If you have a copy of the Convict Conditioning book, you will know how this all works.

No self-respecting man will give up his pushups.

Pushups are an essential part of any training routine. Here is why.

One of the best exercises for building strength and size in the pectorals is the pushup.

The anterior deltoid, a major shoulder muscle, is connected to the pectoral and gets a hell of a workout from pushups as it transmits the force from the chest to the arms.

Pushups build strength along the back of the arms. The biggest muscle of the arm is the triceps, which is at least a third bigger than the biceps.

There are a lot of muscles that have to work hard to lock you into a position. The muscles include the lats, the abdominals, the hips and the legs.

Pushups build strength. The muscles you use for throwing, pushing, and striking are the same muscles you build for your pushups. You can’t be considered strong if you don’t have great pushing strength in the torso, shoulders, elbows, and triceps.

Are you failing to become monstrously strong because of these mistakes?

Most athletes fail to become monstrously strong at pushup movements because they only know two or three types of pushup. You need more than just three exercises to maximize your potential. In order of difficulty, Paul Wade shows you ten different types of pushup. Many of the steps contain hidden steps that will keep you stronger for a lifetime.

fools rush in where angels are afraid to tread.

The wise old Chinese man yelled to his rickshaw driver: Slow down, young man, I’m in a hurry! If there was ever a need for a warning to be shouted to our nation of strength-addicts, this would be it. The former glory-seekers who have been reduced to sad husks of their former selves by rushing helter-skelter into heavy lifting without having first built a firm foundation are everywhere.

The ten points of perfect pushup form are explained by Paul Wade. The aspects of proper form apply to all your pushups, and they will not only give you the strength and power you need, but they will also keep you safe. Bodyweight training is all about improving strength and health, not building up a list of injuries. We call them the Ten Commandments of good pushup form.

Obey the Ten Commandments, follow the brilliantly laid out progressions religiously, and you cannot fail to get stronger and stronger and stronger for as long as you live.
