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,
The Russian
Kettlebell Challenge
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

ethnic Russian strength sport of kettlebell lifting.

the Soviet Special Forces, today Pavel trains

A revolutionary method of
weight lifting using today's
science for maximum results.
In The New Rules of Lifting,
fitness guru Lou Schuler and
strength-training expert Alwyn
Cosgrove boil down the most
recent findings on weight
lifting and fitness to create a
program of workouts that
focuses on the movements at
which the body naturally
excels. These six "real-life"
New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic
Moves for Maximum Muscle
movements-squat, bend, lunge, push, pull, and
twist-compose three complete programs for three
distinct goals: fat loss, muscle gain, and strength
improvement.
At home or at the gym, these routines can be mixed
and matched for a year's worth of workouts that will
keep boredom at bay and lifters challenged long
after most plans have called it quits. And while
coordinated, useful muscles will always turn heads
at the beach, they'll also help you live better and
longer. Besides providing comprehensive workout
programs, The New Rules of Lifting covers
much-needed background on aspects of lifting that
are often overlooked, like warming up, nutrition,
and meal planning. Throughout, Schuler and
Cosgrove debunk strength-training myths,
troubleshoot dangerous pitfalls, and clearly
illustrate moves with black-and-white photographs.

This book's goal is not only
to "turn a piece of your
humble abode into your
personal war room," but
also to demystify the art of
weight training: "Where it

home gym and a
membership gym." Sharply

fitness director Schuler, this
volume contains all an
Men's Health Home
Workout Bible
average man needs to know to get his body in
shape: expert, no-nonsense, to-the-point
chapters on muscle groups, with descriptions that
readers will actually remember; how to buy
effective equipment without going bankrupt; and
the correct way to lift (all those big guys in the
gym are doing it wrong). But the heart of the
book is located in the more than 200 pages of
exercise programs designed by Mejia (all expertly
photographed and illustrated), an incredible
range of simple and effective routines. To further
help the reader along, Mejia provides 4-week
workouts for body weight, dumbbells, barbells,
and cables, for work at home, as well as 4-week
all-equipment and multistation workouts that can
be done at home. This newest in the Men's

and entertaining information on a range of men's
issues. Any man interested in learning the most
effective way to develop a successful
weight-training routine that he can do at home
should buy and read it daily for inspiration.

The question I'm most
frequently asked goes
something like this, "Shawn,
what's your secret--what's
the one thing you do
differently than everyone
else that allowed you to
build such great abs?" The
one thing, the one thing,
the one thing... So many
people are looking for the
one thing--the secret. Many
people think the one thing
is some ab-training device
ABSolution: The Practical Solution
for Building Your Best Abs
like the type you see advertised on television
infomercials. It's not. Others would like you to
believe that the one thing is some miracle
fat-burning pill. It's not. Others would have you
believe that the one thing--the big secret--is
liposuction or some other quick fix. Once again,
it's not.
The fact is, and this is the first and most
fundamental lesson of my ABSolution Program,
the one thing is everything! Everything we do
affects the way we look and the way we feel. It's
when we exercise, how we exercise, and the
exercises we do. It's when, what, and how much
we eat. It's which vitamins and supplements we
nourish our bodies with. It's how much we rest
and recover. It's how we think and how we live.
It's everything. And, that's what this book is all
about. It's about everything you need to learn to
build your own absolutely fantastic abs.
About the Author
Fitness expert Shawn Phillips says it's time to
forget fad diets, miracle pills, and trendy exercise
machinery--it's time to get back to basics. It's time
to accept the fact that if you want to build a lean,
healthy, muscular body, complete with a defined
set of abs, you're going to have to work for it.
However, he points out that hard work and
dedication alone are not enough to produce the
results most people are looking for--you have to
follow an intelligent plan. And, unfortunately, in
today's world of over-hyped and
under-performing "quick fixes" for building better
abs, finding a voice of reason has become a real
challenge. The good news is there is a
solution--a practical solution for building your
best abs. And that solution is clearly revealed in
the book you have at your fingertips right now.
ABSolution incorporates the many lessons
Shawn Phillips has learned through his own
pursuit of building a better body, which has
spanned some 20 years. It also incorporates his
countless hours of scientific research and
real-world experience gained by helping
numerous world-class athletes and people from
all walks of life successfully reach their fitness
goals. ABSolution is not a quick-fix, nor is it a
"simple and easy" way to get in great shape. It's
an effective, scientifically safe and sound
approach. And it's a common-sense approach in
a fitness industry where common sense is not
common at all.
