About Paul “Coach” Wade
Paul Wade spent 19 years in hell holes like San Quentin, Angola and Marion. He entered this world a gangly, terrorized weakling and he graduated to final freedom, pound-for-pound one of the strongest humans on the planet. Paul Wade dedicated his prison life to the cultivation of that supreme survival strength. And ironically, it is in America’s prisons that we can find some of the great, lost secrets of how to get immensely powerful and strong. Paul Wade mined these secrets as if his life depended on it—and of course in many ways it did.
Finally free, Paul Wade pays his “debt to society”—not just with the horrors of his years in the hole—but with the greatest gift he could possibly give us: a priceless set of programs that can take ANYONE who has the will from abject weakling to strength specimen extraordinaire. Paul Wade’s titles include the landmark bestseller Convict Conditioning and the follow up, Convict Conditioning 2, plus the Convict Conditioning Ultimate Bodyweight Training Log.
Paul Wade is also the author of five DVD/manual programs: Convict Conditioning Volume 1: The Prison Pushup Series, Convict Conditioning Volume 2: The Ultimate Bodyweight Squat Course, Convict Conditioning Volume 3: Leg Raises Six-pack from Hell, Convict Conditioning Volume 4: Advanced Bridging Forging an Iron Spine, Convict Conditioning Volume 5: Maximum Strength The One Arm Pullup Series.
