Product Description:
Kettlebell Training... The Closest Thing You Can Get to Fighting, Without Throwing A Punch Federal Counterterrorist Operator The kettlebell. AK-47 of physical training hardware. Hunk of iron on a handle. Simple, sinister, brutal and ferociously effective for developing explosive strength, dramatic power and never-say-die conditioning. The man s man s choice for the toughest, most demanding, highest-yield exercise tool on the planet. Guaranteed to forge a rugged, resilient, densely-muscled frame built to withstand the hardest beating and dish it right back out, 24/7. Once the prized and jealously-guarded training secret of elite Russian athletes, old-school strongmen and the military, the kettlebell has invaded the West. And taken no prisoners thanks to former Soviet Special Forces physical training instructor and strength author, Pavel Tsatsouline s 2001 publication of The Russian Kettlebell Challenge and his manufacture of the first traditional Russian kettlebell in modern America. American hardmen of all stripes were quick to recognize what their Russian counterparts had long known nothing, nothing beats the kettlebell, when you re looking for a single tool to dramatically impact your strength and conditioning. A storm of success has swept the American S & C landscape, as kettlebell Comrades have busted through to new PRs, broken records, thrashed their opponents and elevated their game to new heights of excellence. With Enter the Kettlebell! Pavel delivers a significant upgrade to his original landmark work, The Russian Kettlebell Challenge. Drawing on five years of developing and leading the world s first and premiere kettlebell instructor certification program, and after spending five years of additional research into what really works for dramatic results with the kettlebell we have Enter the Kettlebell!

- Learning from this book
This book is an excelent introduction to exercising with kettlebells, that is what the name of the book sugests and what Pavel delivers.
I didn't think there is lots of filler information in it and I appreciate the pictures showing the correct and wrong way to do the movements. The exercises are completly diferent from barbells and they can carry you a long way. I have been doing the swings for a few weeks and I can see myself getting better. I like the way the KB seem to not have an end as far as workout, when you can handle the KB for the movements then try to make more repetitions in the same time.
Some may not like the way Pavel writes but I think it has to do with his cultural upbringing, remember he was born in the communist USSR so he does have an authoritary (sometimes) way of saying things.
Does he tell you all he knows in this book? No, this is meant to be an introduction to this type ... Read More

- Get it, take a class or two from an RKC instructor, and be prepared to cry.
I learned about kettlebells from a trainer at my gym, and bought this book to learn more about them. Pros are easy to read, good humor, and easy to follow instructions. Cons are the pain you'll feel after doing a simple workout consisting of swings and get-ups, and the money you'll part with to get his other books (he's a good pitch man, but I won't criticize him for that, because he's just living the good American capitalist dream).

You must be prepared, however, to find an RKC instructor and take some classes, because the instructors that are RKC qualified are all trained on the same standard Pavel covers in his book, and taking just a simple introductory class will definitely 'grease your groove'. If you try these swings and get ups on your own with just reading the book, it's a lot like learning golf without lessons. You may find yourself in bad habits that are very hard to break. I took a ... Read More

- For the price, there is much better info about kettlebells out there
Okay, the information contained in this book is incomplete, and can be resumed in just a few pages. It is overpriced.

Yeah, I know lots of people praise Enter the Kettlebell, and I don't dispute that it contains basic knowledge about form, posture, and fundamental moves, but it stays there. It is not THAT special as others say. It us supposedly sold as something that will "make you a man" and yadda yadda yadda. Ok, you have a few routines to get stronger, and I know they are very helpful, but for what you pay, and coming from Pavel, AT LEAST it should have en easy format about how to make your own routines, more movements, and suggestions for keeping the exercises for life, implementing new variations so you can never get bored. But this book doesn't deliver it.

I believe the reason for the little information is purely commercial. Inside the book, though there is some nice stuff, you find ... Read More
