Review: Life-Changing. Comprehensive. Empowering. - Overcoming Gravity isn’t just a book—it’s a blueprint for transforming your approach to fitness from the ground up. After years of inconsistent routines and second-guessing my progress, this book completely reshaped how I think about training. The level of detail, structure, and science-backed guidance Steven Low provides is unmatched. What truly sets this book apart is its emphasis on building intelligent, sustainable progressions—it teaches you how to think like a coach, not just follow a cookie-cutter plan. I’ve revamped my entire lifestyle and training routine around what I learned here, and the results have been both physical and mental. I feel more in control, more knowledgeable, and more motivated than ever before. And the cherry on top? Steven Low himself took the time to answer my questions directly on Reddit. That kind of dedication to the community speaks volumes about his passion and integrity. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a seasoned athlete, or anywhere in between—Overcoming Gravity is the resource you didn’t know you needed. Don’t just work out. Train with purpose. Read this book.
Review: Game changer - I’ve had this book for a week and it’s transformed my approach to training. It has everything you need to take control of your own training (instead of relying on YouTubers) and explains the reasoning behind everything to empower you to be able to create your own workouts and progress effectively. The book is touted as ‘the body weight bible’ and though I’m usually skeptical of such lofty claims, this one is apt.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An extraordinary resource - teaches complete gymnastic mastery, yet remains completely accessible if starting out
*by C***H on 1 April 2017*

Only one world for this: extraordinary. Only had it a day and I'm already highlighting and annotating pages. For those who haven't heard of it, this has for years been THE bible of bodyweight training, and this second edition tidies up and restructures many quibbles from the first book. The organisation and arrangement of topics is superlative; I started reading at the start, but was able to dip into my currrent focus (pullups) without trouble. My only complaint was not enough margin space to make my notes in! Yes, it's a big, dense book, but remains readable. When reading, I'd suggest a ballpoint and highlighter will be essential; you'll be returning to key points again and again. I'm not a gymnast but I train bodyweight, and that's who this book is aimed at - enthusiasts. Working on the principle of progressive resistance - gradually building up your skills in one exercise before "levelling up" to a harder one - it shows you a path upwards that starts easy, but leads (if you want to reach the higher levels) to master moves like one-armed planches and thigh-slapping pullups. Perhaps 0.0001% of readers will ever get to those upper levels - but that's not the point. It also teaches a great deal of muscular function, the "why" of the moves as well as the "what". It's hard to describe, but it feels more like a trainer standing next to you than reading a book. From understanding comes confidence, and that's important when you jump up to an overhead bar for the first time. Finally: it's rare to find a book that feels like such a labour of love. Reading it you feel a genuine warmth for the author; thousands of hours go into a work like this. I just don't buy books that aren't on Kindle, yet I bought this one.
