CONVICT CONDITIONINGTHE SUPER F.A.Q.I’m painfully aware that I’m a crumbum writer. (Given the endless help Ireceived editing, re-editing and proofing Convict Conditioning, I barely qualifyas a writer at all!) Since the book was first published, I’ve got stacks of emailsfrom readers about different aspects of the methods I set down. Often I wasmailed the same questions, over and over. In the vast majority of cases, thesewere questions I never got asked when I was training students hands-on. Theobvious conclusion? Parts of the book were just not as clear as my readersdeserved. So when John Du Cane (a.k.a. “The Boss”) offered me the opportunityto write something for users of Dragondoor.com, I nearly bit his arm off.This F.A.Q. is the end result. It represents my opportunity to clear up anyaspects of the Convict Conditioning strength system that might seem vague orambiguous. I’m not an internet guy, and I got no desire to be a public figure, sothis batch of Q&As also represents my final say on these matters. If you haveused my book in your own training and have a specific question you’ll probablyfind my answer to you in here.Thanks John, for allowing me this space on your site; thanks also to BrettJones for looking at (and correcting) some of these answers. I’d also like tothank my friends and students around the world who sent me questions. Manyof these questions, complete with my responses, have been replicated word forword in this F.A.Q.A final shout out goes to Pavel Tsatsouline—without you making bodyweighttraining cool again, I wouldn’t have got published in the first place.Thanks, man.—Paul John Wadewww.dragondoor.com1•800•899•5111899•5111Order Convict Conditioning online:www.dragondoor.com/B41
