Overcoming Gravity: A Systematic Approach to Gymnastics and Bodyweight Strength
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Overcoming Gravity is a practical guide to building strength with nothing but your own bodyweight, using gymnastics as its foundation. Steven Low, a gymnastics coach, sets out a systematic approach that starts with the basic movements every athlete needs and then moves toward advanced skills such as handstands, levers and planches. Rather than a collection of workouts, the book explains the principles behind progress: how to break a difficult skill into manageable steps, how to build the joint and muscle control it requires, and how to train safely over time.
