By M. Bach
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.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Format:Paperback
The detailed descriptions and "Dos and Don'ts" for the set of core kettlebell exercises are perfect. Yes there is a lot of YouTube and internet material about kettlebells out there, but a lot of it is dreadful (sometimes dangerous!) and picking the real gems is not easy. This book only has gems.
Unfortunately at least half the book could be removed as it is just waffle, whole page pictures of individual kettlebells, pointless U.S. Secret Service "rules" etc. The couple of hundred pages could easily be reduced to 100 and (even more importantly) the price could be dropped by at least half to make it value for money.
Or... replace the 100 pages of padding with detailed descriptions of more exercises for the same price: Windmill, Floor Press, Renegade Row, Figure 8, and so on...
Great book, shame about the horribly expensive padding.

Only a few exercises covered
It's a disappointing, average book covering only a few basic exercises. Silly photos show what not to do. Read more

Decent
The guiding of how to do a move is very well. It tells you what is correct, and what isn't.
The book has got an exercise program towards the end, but that's a little difficult... Read more

Excellent Introduction to Kettlebells
I was new to Kettlebells when I purchased ETKB at the start of the year and I have found it a very comprehensive and easy to follow introduction to working out using kettlebells.
