Product Review: Return Of The Kettlebell

Have you completed the Rite of Passage from Enter the Kettlebell?
Can you do 100 Snatches in 5 minutes and Press the KB closest to
1/2 your body weight?
It’s time to graduate to Return of the Kettlebell.  But in his
opening letter, Pavel is very clear that unless you have completed
these pre-requisite requirements (unless you own the ‘black belt
fundamentals of kettlebells’), you have no business doing the
exercises or workouts in Return of the Kettlebell.
Enter the Kettlebell is a guide all about getting big and stong
with explosive kettlebell training.  The focus of Enter the
Kettlebell is on single kettlebell training, while the focus of
this book is on double kettlebell training.  You’ll learn the
Double Clean, the Double Snatch, the Double Press and the Double
Clean and Jerk.
These exercises are then put together into training schedules that
are based on the Russian ‘block system’ of periodization.
As is expected from Pavel, the book includes a great balance of
old-schoool lifing wisdom backed by scientific research.  One of
the greatest things about this book is how it breaks down each
movement into detail and gives you multiple coaching points and
corrective exercises to drill down your technique on each
movement.
The first time I read through it, I’ll admit that I scanned the
text and got right to the end of the book where it talks about
programming so I could start on the training plans it lays out.
And part of the reason for this is because this isn’t the
‘exciting’ stuff – it’s not as fun to read about coaching points
or corrective drills.
But in hindsight, I think this is a big mistake.  Much of the
value of the book lays the detail of the exercises and the
corrective techniques.  Perfect form is so much more safe and
effective – I can’t say it enough.
So if you’ve completed the Rite of Passage from Enter the
Kettlebell and you need a new training challenge, Return of the
Kettlebell will be exactly what you’re looking for.  Learn more
