> Wouldn't sales naturally decay over time anyway? The author doesn't even know the month the book was pirated, so I'm pretty skeptical that they've measured the impact of piracy reliably.

What...? The author gave a pretty darn clear timeline:

- I released Overcoming Gravity 1st Edition in 2011

- Overcoming Gravity 1st Edition was pirated around August or September of 2012.

- "Book sales immediately dropped 40% over 3 months."

I thought I was missing out on a community! But I assume you mean /r/bodyweightfitness? I am also a big fan, but I moved on from it and do my own programming based on reading Overcoming Gravity (2ed) - fantastic book if you want to get into the nitty gritty on body-weight programming.

/r/bodyweightfitness have just started rolling out a new series of plans to replace the RR. So if you haven't popped by in a while it's worth a look.

The one thing that always bugged me about the RR was the videos were just a random mismatch and some weren't even the bodyweight variant - they just told you to ignore the barbell or whatever. It's a bit of work to film and edit but there are a finite number of exercises in the RR so I always felt it made sense to make a consistent set for people to reference.

That is one thing I really like about this website - the demonstrations are clear and consistent with what is being described. .
