Product Description

Both the Soviet Special Forces and numerous world-champion Soviet Olympic athletes used the ancient Russian Kettlebell as their secret weapon for xtreme fitness. Thanks to the kettlebells’s astonishing ability to turbocharge 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 own hands.
You NEVER have to be second best again! Here is the first-ever complete kettlebell training program—for Western shock-attack athletes who refuse to be denied—and who’d rather be dead than number two.

  • Get really, really nasty—with a commando’s wiry strength, the explosive agility of a tiger and the stamina of a world-class ironman.
  • Own the single best conditioning tool for killer sports like kickboxing, wrestling, and football.
  • Watch in amazement as high-rep kettlebells let you hack the fat off your meat—without the dishonor of aerobics and dieting
  • Kick your fighting system into warp speed—with high-rep snatches and clean-and-jerks
  • Develop steel tendons and ligaments—and a whiplash power to match
  • Effortlessly absorb ballistic shocks—and laugh as you shrug off the hardest hits your opponent can muster
  • Go ape on your enemies—with gorilla shoulders and tree-swinging traps
The Russian Kettlebell Challenge Reviews
1 star deducted for the 'hard sell'
This review is from: amazon.com

The advantage of kettlebells: The weight hangs off the handle, so 1/some movements are mechanically superior at heavier weights , when dumbbells would be too long, and 2/ leverage on some exercises give a trainee more work per pound. BUT, a -great- deal of what is promoted as an advantage is really only an advantage IF you're interested in excelling at KBs in particular. Pavel says, "strength is a skill". DB and KB strength aren't 100% transferable to each other , and KB strength is no more transferable than DB to -any- activity The recent popularity of KBs proves the importance of variety to maintain interest, but that's all. Then there's the HIGH cost of KBs, (as Pavel has somewhat of a monopoly at the moment), and the promotional material of KB advantages, much exagerated, some false. Decades of athletes in all fields have excelled without KBs. I'd rather have the variety of weights that adjustable DBs provide at a lower cost

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.

Simply an outstanding product

I purchased the Russian Kettlebell Challenge DVD along with a 16kg kettlebell 6 months ago. Having watched the DVD many times to study and learn the techniques Pavel demonstrates, the results I have obtained since are better than I hoped for. I am over 30 pounds lighter and leaner, am stronger, fitter and feel so much better, all from simple to follow program guidelines that allow practice to be tailored to the individual and fun to do. I confidently expect more and greater gains in the future and recommend this product to anyone serious about beginning a strength or conditioning program with kettlebells.
