Love the collection of literature man! An excellent review on the Convict Conditioning book as well. I have a pdf version but would certainly be purchasing a hard copy soon.

@jdcujo I agree they did a lot of bodyweight movements, but they were supplemental. Not the entire focus of strongman training. Powerlifting is pretty specific. It would be very rare even at a prison meet to place 3rd. He said he never practiced weightlifting and placed. I don't know of anyone who has done that. Your body can only adapt to what it trains for. Although I think the stories are fake, it's a decent book. I like his focus on training movement.

Thanks for making this video, it was a big decision to buy this book. And man, I'm glad I did. It is seriously 300 pages of pure entertainment and workouts. I honestly have not found any problems with this book. If you were skeptical about it, take it from me. This book is the real deal.

@jsagers2008 if you think about it a lot of the old time strongman used mainly body weight training in addition to manual labor yet were freakishly strong so id say it is entirely possible . Mind you he also says it was a prison powerlifting meet . not to discredit the quality of his opponents but id say its possible

When I was reading this book something just felt off about the prison aspect but like people have been saying who cares? You don't watch American history x and when your done throw it out cus it isn't a real story. This book speaks to me not on a prison level but in the fact that the info really makes sense to me! I'm trying this for a year to prove it one way or another but I'm 90% sure it's gonna work

Good book, but over priced in my opinion. Still, it started me off on handstand push ups, which are awesome!!

@TylerDurden87 I agree about pullup step 2.. I've just completed the beginner step 2 of 10 reps but I can't see myself pulling off sets of 20 by next week. Still love the book though.

I DONT GIVE A S... IF HE IS A REAL PERSON OR MADE UP, I DONT CARE. I KNOW ONLY THAT I WEIGHT 220 LBS AND AM 193 CM TALL PERSON DOING PLANCHE FOR 6 SECONDS AFTER WEEK OF FALLOWING THE ONLY 2 OF 6 PRINCIPLES IN THE BOOK!!!!!
I was the model for Convict Conditioning. I never met Paul face to face, but I'd be surprised to hear that he's not a real person. I corresponded back and forth with him in countless emails (as recent as this past week).
Do I think it was someone from DragonDoor contacting me as "Paul Wade"? Sure, anything could be possible, but it's not very likely.
If you want to doubt his own physical claims, go ahead. There's no video evidence. But listen to Zach and see that there's good info in there.
