Product Description
Product Description
Both the Soviet Special Forces and numerous world-champion Soviet Olympic athletes used the ancient Russian Kettlebell as their secret weapon for extreme fitness. Thanks to the kettlebell's astonishing ability to turbo charge physical performance, these Soviet supermen creamed their opponents time-and-time-again, with inhuman displays of raw power and explosive strength. Now, former Spetznaz trainer, international fitness author and nationally ranked kettlebell lifter, Pavel Tsatsouline, delivers this secret Soviet weapon into your hands.

This book describes a number of different exercises to perform with a kettlebell,they are well described and well illustrated.
the main failing with this book is that it tries to attribute too many benefits to kettlebells without providing any exercise routines which would achieve these benefits.Kettlebells in general have one big advantage over other types of exercise;they encourage you to learn a proper weightlifting technique in terms of learning how to dip your knees in a "clean" and a "snatch"
and also being dynamic or explosive in your lift.
If you are not explosive then the kettlebell will soon tire you out and if you don't dip your knees and control the kettlebell as it comes over your hand you will get a very sore wrist.
The other benefits claimed are really just those that can be achieved by high repetition training with any type of weight.

Pavel really gets into the nuts and bolts of Kettlebell Training in this book.All the various exercises are broken down into component parts and if you follow the instructions you can't go wrong. I am continually amazed at what you can achieve with kettlebell training, and this book will speed up your progress with them. Such a basic tool but the benefits of using them are incredible. Quality information at a budget price.Read the book, apply the knowledge learned and get fit in the shortest time possible, while staying injury free.
