A short video announcing the Project Kratos Bodyweight High Intensity Training and Timed Static Contraction Training 2019 Update and the accompanying video course.
The Project Kratos Bodyweight HIT and TSC Training 2019 Update is a 40 page report introducing numerous improvements and refinements to the protocols, resistance scaling and progression systems, and exercise performance guidelines (sub-protocols), making the best bodyweight and minimalist static exercise programs even better.
This update contains a lot of new information, however it is a supplement to both Project Kratos and Timed Static Contraction Training and not a replacement for either or a stand-alone training system or program. It is free when purchased together with both of those books in the Bodyweight High Intensity Training ebook Bundle.

Feedback from readers:
“I’ve had issues for years with thoracic spine tightness and discomfort from injuries sustained in martial arts and also from doing “stupid” training. The TSC neck and now this newly added spinal protocol has my back feeling young and spry. It’s like medicine! Thanks Drew” – Steve Maxwell, black belt senior world and Pan American jiu jitsu champion
“I would call this a definitive work on bodyweight exercise. I will be recommending this to my primary care physician for all his patients to implement a proper exercise program for health and fitness. I think this is the best progression system for bodyweight exercise I have investigated. I hope to start consulting and training seniors with this format and protocol. This a perfect adjunct to Ken Hutchins’ SuperStatic protocol.” – Greg Joannides

This appeals to me greatly; working from home plus HIT, which I enjoy and benefit from as a man, aged 53. But I do not have a chin-up bar, and don’t have doorways strong enough to maintain those attachments (I’ve tried; to the detriment of my doorframes – and marriage!) So is it possible to do Kratos without one?
Yes, a static pullover and arm curl can be substituted for the chin-up.
