Kettlebell Training: The Fitness Secret of the Russian Special Forces

The kettlebell is the Kalashnikov of fitness equipment: simple, primitive, and extremely effective for developing power, strength, and endurance. Once the dearly loved and closely guarded secret of Russia’s elite athletes, strength athletes, and soldiers, kettlebells can now be found in gyms and homes around the world—thanks to Pavel Tsatsouline, a former physical training instructor for the Soviet special forces, who had the first traditional Russian-style kettlebell made in the United States in 2001. Over the past ten years, Pavel has perfected kettlebell training while also developing The Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC), a certified training system that is now the world’s largest and most successful kettlebell school, with over 1,500 instructors in 43 countries. His book Kettlebell Training is the result of ten years of research and development, during which Pavel discovered how to achieve the most impressive results safely with a kettlebell. His training system is state of the art and guaranteed to work—you just have to stick to it! Languages: German and English
