Format:Paperback
This is a great book for learning the techniques required for the various must do lifts. The number of main exercises in the book, you could just about count on a single hand but the attention to detail is excellent, the teaching points are clear and explicit with clear pictures demonstrating how to perform and how not to perform while also giving advice as to how to strengthen weak points in your technique. As a certified Kettlebell Instructor in the UK I use this book and its compatriot for women (From Russia with tough love) as a point of reference and recommend them also to my clients if they are really committed to improving their performance/fat burning potential or whatever their goal is. The writing style is also very easy to read with some good background into the benefits of kettlebell training and some ideas for program design. I have used kettlebells for over 2 years now and seen some great gains with my clients. While I had to do a certified instructor course to be able to do this, this book is my text book for that and would not be without it.

I've been looking for a good strength training programme for a while and I've always been fascinated with kettlebells. There's something very primal about a cannonball with a handle that you use for lifting and that is what appealed to me. The promises of strength training that also delivered a hard cardio workout at the same time were too good to ignore. I bought Enter the Kettlebell and haven't looked back since.
Enter the Kettlebell is all about kettlebell basics. Pavel gives a good description of remedial drills to build the flexibility and strength in all the right places before you even think about training with your kettlebell. Then the book moves on to RKC Minimum; a simple 4-times-a-week programme that will burn off fat, build strength and muscle and make you feel awesome. Following this comes the RKC Right of Passage, which is the bulk of the book. It's a devilishly simple strength training package that only consists of three exercises (clean and press, snatch and swings) but the beuty is in the simplicity. Those who've trained under Pavel before will recognise his simple but highly effective approach, taken right out of Power to the People, but the results are phenomenol.
As other reviewers have mentioned the book is literally filled with tag lines and cliches ("The closest thing to fighting without throwing a punch", "For strength and conditioning to walk through walls", "For the work capacity of and android and the pain threshold of an immortal") but look beyond them and there's a genuine, solid book written in an entertaining style that's typical of Pavel. Again and again he throws facts at you at why kettlebell training, although not for everyone, is rewarding if you can hack it. He does all this but builds it on the principal of safety as a part of, not the opposite of, performance. It all comes together to deliver a good instructional book that will give you a solid foundation in which to continue your kettlebell lifting.
If you've read this far, chances are kettlebells are for you. Buy this book, buy a 16kg kettlebell (I don't recommend starting any heavier, there's no dishonour in lifting lighter kettlebells) and prepare to feel the kettlebell What The Hell effect.

This book contains two very effective training programs, `The Program Minimum' and `The Rite of Passage'. You could summarise these programs in less than a page, it is the attention to detail where this book really shines, hence the 200 other pages.
If you are in anyway interested in lifting kettlebells this is the book.
Please note I did not buy my copy from Amazon so I can't comment on the price.
