During this book, I refer to bodyweight training also by using the term calisthenics. There is a bit of confusion and a vagueness when it comes to this word, since people use it in different ways. Following is my personal description of it and the one I’ll be using in the rest of the book.

Let’s start with the origin of calisthenics. Calisthenics comes from the ancient Greek words kalos and sthenos. Kalos means beauty, which refers to the pleasure given by the sight of a very aesthetic human body. Sthenos means mental strength as in courage, braveness and determination. As a Greek person, and because I like the origin of this word, I use Calisthenics as a synonym for bodyweight exercise. For me, both words relate to the art of using your own bodyweight to develop your physical fitness and physique. I believe that proper calisthenics training should make you stronger and improve your physique, but also promote general health.

• Slim waist

• Visible abs

• Round shoulders

• V-shaped defined back

• Visible muscular chest

• Muscular and vascular arms

• Nicely shaped muscular legs

These are the key characteristics of an aesthetic calisthenic's physique that Bodyweight Muscle focuses on developing...

This book is the result of years of research and self-experimentation...

It’s the book I would like to have had when I first began my journey into bodyweight training.

Nowadays, I’ve reached a point where I can say, with confidence, that I have all the pieces of the puzzle that one needs to get in great shape and build an impressive physique through bodyweight exercise. Having made a lot of personal mistakes, having followed a lot of bad advice, and having neglected a lot of important principles, I know that having this book back then would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

Since I can’t go back in time to avoid my mistakes, I can help those of you that are getting started on your journey of building bodyweight muscle.

This book is also for those frustrated from training for some time, without getting the results that they should be getting... I want you to find out the missing pieces that are holding you back, so you can finally get the results you deserve.

Lastly, Bodyweight Muscle is not just about muscle. Incorporating a bodyweight exercise routine in your lifestyle can become a keystone habit that triggers positive widespread change in other areas of your life.

Building Bodyweight Muscle and gaining control over your body helps you develop confidence and a sense of self-mastery. It empowers you to further take control of your life and make more positive changes day by day.
