That book is amazing. All about bodyweight gymnastic training you can do at home with minimal equipment. Here's some examples, just for the dip. He has plenty of alternatives for the pullups as well.

Well here's the normal dip from someone with abnormal shoulder flexibility:

And here is the Russian L-dip, way tougher than your normal dip:

And for those without a dip station (I use the parallel crossbars at the top of my power rack as my dip station), here's the single bar dip:

I downloaded that book for free. I've about a dozen fitness titles I've downloaded for free like Scrawny to Brawny, Built for Show, two Rippetoe titles, the entire DiPasquale's, the entire Lyle McDonald's, a Thibaudeau, etc.

I did those when I used to do gymnastics. Had my coach supporting me for the handstand push ups, though.

That's cool. If I were to be interested in picking up recreational gymnastics, where would I go to/contact?
