Im trying to compile a list of the best equipment and resources for bodyweight training.
First off I have no books on this type of conditioning, does coach sommer have a book out yet, and if so could someone leave a link?
Also Ive heard of one released by Ross something, not to sure about that
Any ideas on books or equpiment that you have for training would be helpful
I have the book from Ross....actually i have 2 of his books...they are very good. You cant go wrong with his products. Here is a link to his book geared more toward bodyweight conditioning.

Get a power tower, this is the way I started off till mine broke, work dips and pull ups, then get the killer ab wheel, parallelettes, a set of rings and your are ready to become a bodyweight master. Or read Ross's book, I began to read lots of his articles and they are great.
thanks guys
what about Sommers book
on the front page it says its out but i cant find any info on it in the internet
His book is not out yet; but this article is something of what the book may be like http://gymnasticbodies.com/articles1.html.
Hi pistol33,
I agree, the front page is a little confusing ...Coach has stated previously that the book(s) will be released once the site is completed ...however there have been some techincal issues with its development. I am sure that we will be among the first to know when it (they) are available.
Regards,
George.

I am completely new to all this - does anyone have links to where to buy these in the uk? or anywhere?
Power tower ...search for dip station on ebay. Just a basic one with pull-up bar and dip handles is probably what you want.
It's cheaper to buy rings from the states (including shipping and import duty) than those selling in the UK - especially while Coach's special offer is still on!!!
Cheers,
George.
