Hvad måtte du smide?

Oh... wait... noooooh..

Det virker ikke umuligt overhovedet hvis man følger progressionen. Der er billeder af Jim Bathurst der laver en i bogen. ;)
Edit: har du læst bogen? På hvilke punkter mener du at øvelserne er mangelfulde?
Hello everyone, this is Jim from BeastSkills.com. Figure I'd weigh in on this issue and clear up any questions. I didn't think this would raise such a firestorm.
First, thanks to petersante, Rand86, and anyone else sticking up for me on this one. No, we are not all the same person. Truth be told, I don't post up on any forum (T-nation, CrossFit, Dragondoor, etc) that much these days. I'm much too busy working and training. I wouldn't have even seen this thread if someone hadn't brought it to my attention.
As to the matter of selling out and/or working for Dragondoor. I was contacted by Paul Wade in August of last year about supplying pictures for this project. I was hesitant at first because it sounded like something I wanted to do myself (publish a book on bodyweight exercises). If you ask Paul, I gave him the third degree about the project, and rights/legality of the use of my pictures. Finally, I agreed to help when I found out that Dragondoor was connected to the project. I finally started shooting pictures at the end of January. And yes, I was paid for them. They took a long time to do and there were many reshoots, all of which I did myself. This is as far as my "work" for Dragondoor has gone.
Are there places you can get some of this information for free? Sure! People have mentioned my site and I'm grateful for that. I wrote about the one arm handstand pushup 3 years ago: (search BeastSkills for accomodating resistance and the one arm handstand pushup)
I supplied pictures for this book because I saw it as another resource that could help people. No, I did not write this book and I certainly have different ideas/progressions for various exercises, but this is why I'm not listed as an author.
I don't understand the argument about how I've killed my spirit of free flowing information. BeastSkills is still up and running (and I'm close to unveiling the new site! It will look and run so much better!) This has cost me tons of time and money that I'm not asking back from visitors. As for the seminars - of course I charge for them! As petersante said, they're running about $60-80 a head and I hope to think they're worth it. I don't think this is unreasonable in the slightest.
As for my abilities to do the skills in the book -
My bridging is absolutely terrible. My shoulders at the time of the photo shoot were tight. They've definitely gotten better since then, but my bridging isn't that strong. Paul still used my photos for that section for continuity as my one legged squats, one arm pull-ups, and one arm push-ups are all very strong.
As for the one arm handstand pushup sections, many of the pictures were taken at the top and bottom of the exercise to demonstrate it. Can I do a one arm handstand pushup? No. Can I lower myself? Yes, to a certain success. The picture you see on the cover of the book is about as far as I can lower and hold the position (for a self-timer photo). I start to fall a bit quicker and sloppier from that point. I was picked because Paul believed me to be in better shape than he is right now, as I estimate he's in his 50's now(?)
In the end, I contributed to a project because I respect Dragondoor. Their community helped inspire and support me when I was starting out. Their one arm chin-up articles got me training towards mine. I also met one of the OAC authors, Jack Arnow, and consider him now to be a great friend: (check out my interview with him on the site)
I haven't looked through the book since I got the proof in March, but a freshly printed copy is sitting at my parents which I'm excited to look through this holiday season.
Read the book description, read the reviews, and in the end decide if the book is right for you. In the very least, train hard and start discovering these things yourself. That's half the fun of training.
