Book Review - Return of the Kettlebell by Pavel

If you've completed the workout programs detailed in Pavel's Enter The Kettlebell, you are ready for Return of the Kettlebell.In his opening letter, Pavel is very clear that this is a pre-requisite for the advanced exercises and workouts detailed in this book. But if you've done the Program Minimum and Rite of Passage and passed both with flying colors, it's time to move on to Return of the Kettlebell.Return of the Kettlebell is a guide all about getting big and strong with explosive kettlebell training. The focus of ETK is on single kettlebell training, while the focus of Return of the Kettlebell is on double kettlebell training. You'll learn the Double Clean, the Double Snatch, the Double Press and the Double Clean and Jerk.These explosive kettlebell exercises are then put together into programs based around the Russian block system of periodization - as can be expected from Pavel, the book combines powerful lessons from in-the-trenches training experience and backs it up w
ith scientific research.One of the things I like best about this book is how it breaks each movement down into detail and gives you corrective drills to fix any problems you might be having with the exercises.Although the corrective and technique work that the book covers in so much detail is not incredibly exciting, it's what makes Pavel's work shine. If there's a downfall of the book, it's this - impatient types will be tempted to skip to the end and get right to the workouts. But this is a big mistake, as this is where a lot of the book's real value lies.In summary, Return of the Kettlebell is a great book about advanced kettlebell training. I highly recommend it to anyone who's completed the programs in Enter the Kettlebell and who is interested in taking their kettlebell training to the next level.
