Thoroughly master Pavel's Enter the Kettlebell! program and you can consider yourself a "Kettlebell Black Belt". But once you're a Kettlebell Black Belt, then what?

Well, say hello to Return of the Kettlebell, which takes it for granted you already own those Black Belt fundamentals—and offers you a dramatically tougher, yet highly systematic program for explosive and massive muscle gain.

Return of the Kettlebell 's protocols were born from Pavel's insights while training elite power athletes. Several champions made astonishing, almost mysterious, strength and muscle gains—at least two broke new powerlifting world records—thanks to kettlebell training. Pavel decided to reverse engineer this "What the Hell" effect experienced by the champions—so all others could benefit from their success.

Return of the Kettlebell presents the final fruit of Pavel's research—combining the very best of ancient lifting wisdom with modern day scientific breakthroughs.

Central to Pavel's new program for explosive muscle gain is the skillful use of double kettlebells. Discover smokers like the Double Clean, classic strength builders like the Double Snatch and Double Press and enjoy the supreme intensity of the Double Clean and Jerk.

But just mastering the double kettlebell methods alone will hardly take you to the Promised Land of consistent, long-lasting and massive muscle gain. And here's where Pavel delivers the key plans and training schedules, designed according to the breakthrough Russian "block system"—plus a slew of vital tips—to ensure you continue to gain and gain and gain.

Like the Breakfast of Champions, consume what's on the Return of the Kettlebell menu and watch yourself grow—and grow!

"Return of the Kettlebell is a training DVD. A true training DVD. As a trainer I go to seminars, watch DVDs, and read any and everything I can to provide a better product to my clients. Return of the Kettlebell has concepts, techniques, instruction, do's and dont's, and application. Bring a pen and paper and let Pavel be your teacher, you'll be better for it when you go back to the gym whether it's for your own workouts or those of your clients-see "victims'.

Oh, and Pavel actually smiles and even laughs a couple of times which is worth the price of admission alone!"
—Gunnar Peterson C.S.C.S., author of Core Secrets and The Workout

"The Return of the Kettlebell DVD is the best kettlebell resource I've seen to take your physique and performance to the next level. Pinpoint technique is essential to your success, and Pavel knows it. He shows each exercise from every angle and explains what you should and shouldn't do to get the greatest reward. This DVD, plus hard work, equals your best body."
—Chad Waterbury, neurophysiologist, author of Huge in a Hurry

"Return of the Kettlebell is filled with top notch information and goes deep under the surface of what you may expect from the title. For example, Pavel dives into such intricacies as proper breathing, the reasons he recommends using the "open V" with the handles on the set up for double kettlebell cleans, and the benefits of the uneven weighted press. He also includes a section on the nuances of hip flexor stretching and how to make it more effective. The production quality of the DVD is first rate and superb. The demonstrations are incredibly thorough and include all of the do's and dont's of multiple double kettlebell movements. In typical Pavel style, he goes into great detail on proper technique and performance with an emphasis on movement quality. Many unique movements are also shared such as the front raise snatch and no stone is left unturned in the discussion of the proper performance of the famed Viking Push Press. If Enter the Kettlebell took you to black belt -- RTK will make you an expert!"
—Alwyn Cosgrove, author of The New Rules of Lifting

"I think I must preview two to five DVDs a month. I often simply don't have the time, but I am glad to do this work as I feel it keeps me up to date and I get a chance to hone my skill set as an instructor. To be honest, some are beautifully made but woeful in content and others seem like the old family films we made when I was young. In other words, they are fun to watch but a little shaky.

One thing I practically never do is watch them twice. And, for sure, I never watch them the night I come home from a 14 hour track meet. And, and anyone who knows me will tell you this, I don't get up early the next morning to watch it again!

But, it happened. Pavel's new Return of the Kettlebell is the DVD I have been waiting for since I first read about the Kbell in Milo Magazine. There were so many moments in the DVD when I thought: "Oh, that's why.' I "knew' this stuff, but I didn't "know why.' Kenneth Jay and Pavel's discussions reminds me of being there at an RKC or the gym when two great ones discuss the next level of how and why. The section on the Viking Press reflected the honest synergy of the two of them understanding the move at a deeper level. The devil is in the details, but it is simply interesting to see the small side discussion on "no heels" morph into an insight about proper training for all of us using kettlebells.

The clarity of the little things impressed me. Typically, we see a short "do this' with stretching, but I always miss the subtle points. Like my wife, Tiffini, says: "You are a lot of things. Subtle you're not.' I thought to myself as I watched "Oh, that's what that means. Oh.' The explanations of the double lifts aren't just like what most of us do, and, yes, I include myself, where we grab the bells bang out a few reps and say "Yeah, do that and then I will show you a few more things.' The whole squat progression, and honestly with a bit of pride I must say my athletes will recognize it, culminates in the first clear presentation of the squat ever done before for the home audience. Literally, you can "do this' after watching and following along.

A few words about Kenneth and Missy are appropriate. Clearly, the two are both in excellent shape, but I must applaud the attention to detail in their kbell work. It will make every trainer question their demonstrations.

Also, the accompanying pdf booklet is also a "finally' moment for me. For those of you who need a "hey, here you go' workout, well, here you go.

The Return of the Kettlebell DVD should be shown with the sound off to new people learning the system. It gives a vision of the path ahead. We are certainly in an exciting time in the kbell community, but this new DVD has set a new standard by which we can expect the quality of instruction to lead us.

As a strength athlete and a coach, I applaud the effort and quality of this DVD. Although I am known for my hyperbole so I need to be careful here, but let me say this: if you only have one DVD on the shelf for the game of strength and conditioning, this is the DVD. I enthusiastically recommend this work without hesitation to anyone interested in any facet of fitness and health.

Congrats Pavel, Kenneth and Missy for an inspiring work of art."
—Dan John, RKC Team Leader, author of Never Let Go

"During nearly 50 years involvement in iron sports, it's been my observation that the absolute best built ATHLETES have been developed through Olympic lift training. Mr. Universe winners such as John Grimek, Steve Stanko, Tommy Kono, Bill March, and Sergio Olivia are rugged products of presses, snatches, cleans, and jerks. Only problem is, competitive weightlifting tends to be quite technical, and, within parameters dictated by a rigid 7 foot Olympic barbell, does not generally lend itself to a strength/fitness rep based program for the masses.

Once again, however, that genius we know as Pavel has chosen time proven weightlifting principles and adapted them to the infinitely more doable mode of kettlebells! In his brand new DVD Return of the Kettlebell coach Pavel barks out his famous commands in pin-pointing exact procedures for repping out unique forms of kettlebell cleans, one and two arm push presses, double KB snatch, press, and jerk combinations, and even innovative front squats and max rep "killer' deadlifts! Also included are related new exercises that even the most diabolical Olympic lift coach never dreamed of!!

I envision entire athletic teams - high school, university, and pro- utilizing Pavel's "new wave' of kettlebell/Olympic lift style of workouts. After all, nothing has ever approached the pure speed of snatches or jerks, nor the coordination that regular concentration on such maneuvers develop. Geez, just when you thought that kettlebell training was already explosive enough! Welcome to the serious new decade of the KB world!"
—John McKean, IAWA multi world champion and current holder of over 100 all-round weightlifting world records

"This DVD is packed with Dynamite! Strength, Power, Packing on Muscle and Real World Strength, it's All here. Pavel never ceases to amaze me and has done it again!"
—Zach Even-Esh, author of The Real Man Muscle Building Course

"Pavel's Return of the Kettlebell is a no-nonsense guide to advanced kettlebell training. This DVD is for people who have mastered the fundamental of kettlebell training and understand the importance of linked motions and good spinal biomechanics in developing strength and power. He has incorporated new research on high velocity power training and the stretch-shortening cycle to maximize strength fitness using minimal equipment. His emphasis is always on good technique. Return of the Kettlebell will improve fitness and performance in any experienced power athlete. This is a "must have' DVD for any serious student of sport."
—Thomas Fahey, Ed,D., Professor of Kinesiology, California State University, Chico. Masters level discus thrower

"I have used kettlebells in my program for years with fantastic results. The combination of movements provide the professional athlete with a unique challenge available from no other piece of equipment. I have followed Pavel's principles in designing my training systems, now with Return of the Kettlebell book and DVD you can take your training to the next level. The guidelines outlined in the DVD and companion book are ideal for athletes who must be strong and explosive. The book has excellent program design hints that allow you to adapt the training to the specific goals you seek. The book and DVD are a STRONG combination that everyone should have in their own personal strength and conditioning library."
—Stan Kellers, Assistant Coach of Strength, Cavaliers Operating Company

"The title Return of the Kettlebell is very appropriate in so far as there appears to be no end of further developments in Kettlebell training. Pavel and Kenneth Jay have done a fine job."
—John Saxon, actor

"As a coach and as a retired school teacher i am still learning my field. i found the video allows me to teach and coach by learning new but proven techniques that will aide my athletes conditioning. When iI show this video to my athletes i can use the teaching style of: telling the athlete what they are going to do, showing them what they are going to do, allowing them to practice the technique while I observe their technique then allowing me to critique their technique. This video will be part of my daily practice when performing kb training in my workouts!!! Good work!!!
—Coach Mike Burgener, CSCS, Senior International Weightlifting Coach

"I am a level II RKC Certified Instructor which in Martial Arts will be like attaining the Black Belt. Like Martial Arts, with Kettlebell training you start a new level of training and learning once you achieve the Black Belt status and it starts the beginning of a very exciting journey of learning, improving, increasing your knowledge and mastering new skills to better yourself and your victims.

Once again Pavel and Dragon Door with the assistance of another great KB Master Instructor Kenneth Jay made a great addition to the Kettlebell and strength /power training library with the new DVD Return of The Kettlebell. The quality and attention to details while explaining and demonstrating the exercises is phenomenal. Excellent details on posture, breathing, cadence and technique on each and every one of the movements which makes a perfect recipe to achieve new and better muscle gains, power and strength. After all we all want to maximize our gains but remain safe and healthy.

In summary implementing the exercises described in Return of The Kettlebell can only improve and maximize your power, strength and muscle gains.

Thanks again Pavel Tsatsouline, Kenneth Jay and John Du Cane for all your great work."

Incredible! Rated 10 out of 10
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not far enough along in my kettlebell training to attempt everything on this dvd, but when I am, I'm sure I'll have no problem with Pavel leading the way. As my title states, the amount of detail to teaching in this dvd is incredible. It surpasses Enter the Kettlebell, in my opinion. Each exercise is explained by Pavel in detail, with demonstration being done by Missy Beaver and Kenneth Jay. Kenneth also adds his knowledge to the teaching when necessary, and I literally felt like I had two masters in the room teaching me when viewing this dvd. Again, its not for the beginner - you should be far enough along in your training that your basics are spotless before attempting anything on this disc. But it is definitely worth the price (if not more), and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to take their training to the next level of mastery.

Pavel delivers again Rated 10 out of 10
The Return of the Kettlebell DVD is a master class in the technique for several of my favorite HARDSTYLE double kettlebell drills, including the front squat, the double clean and press, the clean and jerk and the extra-sinister double snatch.

Although geared toward experienced kettlebell lifters, the DVD is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to improve their kettlebell skill. The section where Kenneth Jay and Pavel discuss the technical aspects and application of the Viking push press by itself is worth the price of the DVD.

The DVD is not limited to kettlebells, however. Pavel covers post-workout hip opening drills with the same depth and attention to details as Beyond Stretching. Get this DVD.

Pretty Good! Rated 9 out of 10
The DVD is very good quality. Sound and picture are great. Pavel does a good job of explaining all of the drills.

Only gripe was that Kenneth Jay was a bit underdressed while Missy Beaver was a bit overdressed.

The best video yet Rated 10 out of 10
This video is simply terrific. It is extremely comprehensive. It is ironic that I am one of the earlier viewers, as Pavel opens up with a comment directed squarely at me. But don't worry, fearless Leader, I don't intend to implement anything from the video until passing the ROP, hopefully within this calendar year.

Many exercises are covered that I expected - double cleans all the way through double snatches - and there also many new exercises I saw for the first time, such as front lateral snatches and Viking push presses. Each exercise begins with "Kenneth please demonstrate!" and the explanations and demonstrations are crystal clear, and shown from multiple angles. A myriad of tips are presented with each as well, to assist the learning process. There are also some interesting points about double kettlebell exercises with different size kettlebells that were interesting.

The most interesting demonstration for me is the double clean and jerk. KJ's footwork is so speedy that it really helps to have Pavel explaining as KJ demonstrates.

Additionally, for the female comrades, there are demonstrations of the exercises with appropriate adaptations for the female body by a woman named Missy.

Here was the unexpected part for me: You pop the DVD in your computer, and there is a pdf file with a thorough training plan and schedule. A sort of book preview, in a sense.

All this and more - all in Pavel's trademark style and with top notch video production to boot.

A MUST BUY, COMRADES!

RTK is for individuals who want strength, mass and strength endurance. It is for serious comrades who will continue to trudge forward when the presses get heavy and the clean and jerks become grueling. This program is hard, but anything worth having takes work, and in this case a lot of work. Do not take this lightly; you must be proficient in the exercises and tasks in the ETK workout. After 4 months of RTK I posted new PR's in the PM lifts; new military press (48kg) and snatch test (220) without pressing anything heavier than a 32kg and no snatches during my RTK training. This is not the goal outlined in the RTK, it is much worse, but gives you a sense of the level of conditioning this program affords. I also gained 12-15 pounds over the 4 months; and being 5'7'' and a hard gainer, that is saying a lot. If you are ready for the next step in kettlebell training and endurance, mental as well as physical, buy this book!

Worth the money Rated 7 out of 10
I think the dvd is worth the money because of the information provided but I thought it was too informal. It wasn't as professionally presented as the Enter the Kettlebell dvd. The dialogue between Kenneth Jay and Pavel was too relaxed at times. It looked like there were a few outtakes sloppily left in the final edit of the dvd. On the bright side, there are some really cool movements I was unaware of that the dvd thoroughly covers.

Make it a DOUBLE Rated 10 out of 10
Pavel RETURNS with this magnificent instructional that takes The Russian Kettlebell CHALLENGE to higher levels of physical training that will push any strong comrade to their limits.

In three words: DOUBLE KETTLEBELL WORK. If that intimidates you, it should. Pavel makes it plainly clear: if you thought SINGLE kettlebell work was rough, this new batch will simply run you over. As they say: two is always better than one.

The DVD invites us with familiar dragondoor fare: Pavel talking to the camera, using his trademark dry sense of humor to disarm the viewer/victim, before introducing us to the pain that inevitably follows. The exercises and procedures in the DVD will push ANY strong athlete (or RKC for that matter) to new levels of athleticism and pain. As challenging as the exercises may seem, however, Pavel goes through EXTRAORDINARY detail on execution and injury prevention. The DVD covers the double KB exercises with precision (to name a few):

- Correct posture and NEW ways to breathe behind the shield

- Proper foot placement

- Optimum EYE positioning

In addition, the DVD also includes Master RKC Kenneth "Dane of Pain" Jay and RKC Missy Beaver. Having them aboard allows Pavel to further elaborate the details of each exercise, for both male and female athletes. Unlike Pavel's previous DVD's, where he commands full attention, RTK allows Pavel to go even further with his teachings since he discusses the details of each exercise with these two talented RKC's, for the benefit of the viewer. Nice, nice touch.

With new exercises, greater detail, and sharp presentation, this DVD lives up to its already very high expectations.

DOUBLE THUMBS UP!

This product delivers.... Rated 10 out of 10
There could not have been a better follow up to the first edition on how a kettlebell can transform you body than Return of the Kettlebell. Provided that the Program Minimum and Right of Passage has been milked for all it's worth and the ROP goals have been met, then the next logical step is to follow the ROP w/ 2 kettlebell Clean and Presses. I look forward to seeing where this program will take my strength, body composition and muscle density.
Shawn Reed - Pittsburgh

great dvd Rated 9 out of 10
Good quality dvd presentation chock full of useful tips and techniques. Wish I would have known there was a book coming out though. I find books easier to look at over and over. Only gripe is that the program that comes with the dvd only focuses on a couple movements. I understand the P2p approach for it. Still would like a way to integrate double snatches swings etc

OK folks,
You have done it again!! I never cease to be amazed at how down to earth and informative your products are. This new DVD by Pavel is superb. I've spent a small fortune on kettlebells, books and DVD's and have gotten more than a return on my investment. Pavel cuts right through the hype and bull that is out there. Keep up the great job!!!

Better than ever!
The Return of the Kettlebell, dare I say, is better than it's predecessor! To me that implies firstly, that Enter the Kettlebell was awesome (and it was). Now ROTC picks up where ETKB left off and turns up the heat by about 100 degrees. Demos by Kenneth Jay was a cool suprise, and his quick insights and dialogue with Pavel are priceless. The section on proper squatting makes this book & dvd a home run. Don't wait, buy your copy already ;)
