《囚徒健身2》保罗•威德已然超越自己。依我之见，他的第一部书《囚徒健身》，是迄今为止关于自身体重锻炼的最佳之作。如今，通过续集《囚徒健身2》，威德带我们深入到了用终极器材——身体来锻炼的精微之处。
言语平实，却无处不带着对解剖学、生理学、人体运动学甚至还有心理学的不凡理解。威德非常简练地讲解了如何以最实用的方法锻炼小而重要的部位，如手掌、前臂、颈部、小腿以及腹斜肌。
他那极简主义的锻炼法蕴含着其体系的复杂性、关于身体机能的精深见解，还包括以最短时间从头练到尾的最佳方法。
保罗教我们如何以最简单的动作增加身体力量，同时又能保持整体的平衡：简单而可锻炼全身的练习，一如《囚徒健身》一样，简洁明了。
他关于拉伸与灵活性训练的论述新颖而精辟，与恢复、治愈伤痛的论述一样令人耳目一新。散布于书中的是不计其数的见解，还有“真枪实弹”的建议，这些都来自于这个经过历练的男人——他确知他在说什么。
本书如《囚徒健身》一样，表面讨论体操，实为体育运动史的奇异之旅。但威德超乎前人的地方是，他列出的每项练习都有不可思议的进阶与拓展方式！通过把目标分解，他精确地讲解了怎样达到理想的力量与体能水平，并给了我们具体的升级标准。
作者简介
保罗·威德（非化名），绰号“教练”，1957年出生于美国加利福尼亚州旧金山，早年在康特拉科斯塔县的克莱顿生活。因涉嫌管制物品交易，他于1979年被关入圣昆汀州立监狱，之后几次转狱。2002年获释后，他移居英国伦敦附近，并致力于传播在狱中学到的古老的健身法。他只用邮件与外界进行联系，从未露面于公共场合，从未公开任何私人照片。
In Prisoner Fitness 2, Paul Weed has outdone himself. His first book, Prisoner Fitness, is, in my opinion, the best bodyweight exercise ever written. Now, with his sequel, Prisoner Fitness 2, Weed takes us deep into the nitty gritty of exercising with the ultimate apparatus: the body.
The language is plain, but everywhere with a remarkable understanding of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and even psychology. Weed succinctly explains the most practical ways to work small but important areas such as the palms, forearms, neck, calves, and obliques.
His minimalist exercise method contains the complexity of his system, insight into how the body works, and the best way to work from start to finish in the shortest possible time.
Paul teaches us how to increase body strength with the simplest movements while maintaining overall balance: simple, full-body exercises that are as simple and clear as Prisoner's Fitness.
His essay on stretching and flexibility training is fresh and incisive, just as refreshing as his essay on recovery and healing. Scattered throughout the book are countless insights and "real" advice from a seasoned man who knows exactly what he's talking about.
This book, like Prisoner Fitness, ostensibly discusses gymnastics, but is actually a strange journey through the history of sports. But where Weed excels is that each of the exercises he lists has an incredible progression and extension! By breaking down the goals, he explained exactly how to achieve the desired level of strength and fitness, and gave us specific criteria to upgrade.
