Pull-Ups
6 reps
We don't believe in motivation.
Motivation got you to buy running shoes. Twice.
Fired up Monday. Sore Tuesday. Busy Thursday.
Two weeks later the gym bag is back in the closet.
The problem was never effort. It was showing up.
So the workout is already waiting when you open the app.
And a yellow dude who's fine with rest days. Rest weeks, less so.
Show up. That's the whole job.
Consistency does the rest.
HANDS-FREE
He demos every rep with better form than yours, sets your tempo, and waits - your phone stays on the floor, because your hands are busy.
THE FUN
Training that doesn't feel like homework - a cheeky coach mid-set, and widgets that keep score right on your home screen and drag you back for one more set.
PROGRESSION
Every skill has a ladder, from your first push-up to moves people film. Climb at your pace and watch the work fill in your body map.
They trained with this method on paper - from a first shaky push-up to fifty strict pull-ups. Their words:
Great for beginners “…I went from being able to do 1 or 2 pretty ropey pull-ups in March/April to now being able to hit 50 with 5 sets of 10 keeping them strict.…”
“I’m 46 years old starting from 0 and I’m loving it training for a month and I already feel stronger and healthier”
Oh my goodness “…Then I got this book and everything changed.…If you’re having any doubts about buying this product, don’t. It is 100% worth it and I can promise that you will get fitter/stronger.”
Great start! “…Never thought I would be able to do pistol squats with over 200lbs. bodyweight. By the way I love the Illustrations! I don't know why, but this yellow dude is so much more entertaining than every pic of a real person who exercise.”
Amazing value for a beginner all in one calisthenics guide. “…Stumbling upon Yellow Dude on youtube was a miracle, and the videos convinced me that YD's approach towards resistance training via calisthenics was exactly what I was looking for.…”
A big fan from China “Hello, I’m a big fan from China and I’ve watched Yellow Dude for a long time (firstly on YouTube now on bilibili), and I bought this book for myself as a birthday gift this month. I swear it’s one of the best!…”
Back to Basics, Leveled Up “This book transformed how I train.…It’s the perfect blend of simplicity, depth, and fun. A must-have for anyone serious about calisthenics.”
Perfect book “…Level 2 for squat, but level 1 for push/pull really showed me what I need to improve on!! The illustrations and explanations make new exercises easily attainable.…15/10 would recommend!!!”
All the guess work - gone! “…The detailed information and graphics make it easy to follow and the routines set by levels take all the guess work out.…I can't recommend this book enough, regardless of skill level”
Perfect for technique “…I've found it extremely useful to be aware of the muscles that have to engage in every exercise. Since then, sore and strength are increasing after every workout 💪…5 stars no doubt”
Calisthenics in the Swiss Mountains “…This eBook helped me a lot developing my bodyweight trainings when I'm far from any gym in the mountains.…I can't wait to master pistol squat and one arm pushups 🔥”
Great book “…I’m focusig on the Pull-up, i can oapu and pistol squat already, yayy.…I ilke that it’s not just a wall of text, yellow dude all the way ✌🏾”
helped my overall strength “…I can successfully do many pull ups and pistol squats. i am still working on my one hand push up but my strength transferred to weight lifting. all the weights feel light because i added the 3 basics, push up, pull up, squats.…”
Great book to start calisthenics training “I like this book because it keeps things simple. Just three movements for the focus - push ups, pull ups, and squats, with progressions for each.”
Love the artwork “The visuals create an engaging example for something that could be so routine ( like a push-up ). It isn’t just informative, it makes you excited to try the movements yourself.”
“Great book, great help, very progressive, well drawn. I really like the weekly routines at the end of the book. Top, you did a great job, yellow dude”
Essential foundational knowledge “Great information for both beginners and more experienced alike. If you stick to these principles and remain consistent, you WILL PROGRESS WELL”
A must-buy “…The training routine is awesome. It motivates me to push myself to higher levels. Thank you so much for the great work!”
“…After going in and doing a full squat day (level 1), my legs were so sore I could not use the stairs for 3 days. Great book for its price.”
The book I waited so long “…My major concern was to increase my pull up count and do a proper pistol squat. This helped me a lot in achieving that.…”
Totally Worth It. “A week into using this guide and can tell how much effort has put into it.…My rep range has definitely increased by training till failure with other types of pushups”
Learning in comic book style “Honestly i love this book. I was scared it would've been a lot of text and i would just lost reading motivation because of it. But the amount of text is actually great and tells you precisely what you need to know.…”
Must Read/View “…I have been doing push ups all my life (sometimes right, mostly wrong).…But this book breaks it all down to easy bite sized pieces.…”
Best beginner friendly book for Calisthenics! “…I've made a lot of progress without having prior exposure to calisthenics, or a coach physically to help me.…I'd highly recommend this book if you want to get stronger by skipping the gym and relying on the natural movement of your body.…”
It’s obsessed! 😍 “This playbook is exactly what I need. I was an ego lifter in the past and was going about fitness the completely wrong way. Calisthenics has become my safe place and I love seeing how strong I can get by just using my body.…”
The digital illustrations are AMAZING “…I looked at the Yellow Dude and compared it to my form. I figured out quickly what were the differences and corrected my form.…”
Great guide. “I love this book.…Wayne and Weng, and their Yellow Dude, are great teachers.…This is the most cost-effective way to build your calesthenitcs training from beginner to intermediate.”
Great for a beginner! “…This book took the mystery out of me!…I think it's probably gonna take me months (probably a year) to get to pull ups and one arm pushup and that's ok!…”
Great investment “This playbook is structured in a great way taking you step by step to the next levels in your calisthenic yourney.…Definitely recommended!”
Very good investment for my calisthenics journey “I really like the playbook ! It’s educational , gives information on form. And I do love the emphasis on mastering the basics to perform better on harder moves.…”
A great starting point “The específico information given is really perfect to avoid mistakes and start callestenics with the best form. You’ll avoid injuries and progress will be great.…”
Top calisthenics beginner guide “…Discipline always over motivation, and sometimes these two combined will letting you progress even faster. This playbook is pure motivation for me and keeps me on track.…”
Best progression detail! Helpful and Detailed “…The reason I purchased it is because it has a great level progression from the most basic version to the most extreme version of each exercise.…”
Well Organized and Easy to understand “…Clear instructions and starts at a level for everyone, it’s easy to notice that a lot of time was put into this book and the illustrations are very fun and adds a dimension to understanding the exercises.…”

Mid-December. The waitlist hears the exact day first.
Especially you. Level 1 assumes nothing, onboarding places you, and every movement has an easier version one tap away. Around here, easier is progress.
The full Calisthenics Playbook, executed: push, pull, and squat routines with five levels each, the animated exercise library with form cues, workout logging with a body effort map, and a builder for your own workouts.
As long as you want it to be. Follow the program's sessions, or build your own from the full library - a five-minute burner between meetings still counts. Nobody's checking your watch.
No. Floor, wall, and you. A pull-up bar when the pull track sends you looking for one, and a yoga mat if your elbows complain.
Yes - iOS at launch.
On the roadmap. iPhone first, done properly.
Yes - $12.99/month, which comes to $155.88 a year. The First 1000 pay $98 once for year one, then $9.99/month for as long as they stay - $3 a month less than everyone else, forever. It never goes up on you. And any month that lets you down gets refunded in full - that promise never expires.
Year one of the app, the private customer Discord with a vote on what we build next, a permanent First 1000 badge, and beta access before launch - $180 of it for $98. No trial on this one: you pay in full through the Yellow Dude shop today, and the refund promise below covers you. At launch you sign in with the same email and everything unlocks. The seats close on launch day - after that it's $12.99/month like everyone else.
Full refund any time before launch day. Full refund in your first 30 days after it. Not happy, not getting stronger, wrong shade of yellow - whatever the reason, every cent back, no questions. We built this app to get you stronger; if that's not happening, we don't want your money. We still want to be friends.
It's the playbook with the thinking removed. Same progressions - but the app tells you what's next, sets your tempo, times your rest, and keeps the log.
