The Ab Pavelizer™ II's new sleek-'n-light design guarantees a perfect sit-up by forcing you to do it right. Now, escape or half-measures are impossible. Sit down at the Ab Pavelizer™ II and a divine slab of abs will be served up whether you like it or not. You'll startle yourself in your own mirror!

The secret to the Ab Pavelizer™ II is in the extra-active resistance it provides you. The cunning device literally pushes up against your calves (you'd almost swear it was a human partner) and forces you to recruit your glutes and hamstrings.

Two wonderful and amazing things happen.

First, it is virtually impossible to do the Janda situp wrong unless you start with a jerk. Second, the exercise becomes MUCH harder than on the Ab Pavelizer™ Classic. And "Much Harder" is Russian for "Quicker Results."

It is astonishingly hard to sit up all the way when the new Ab Pavelizer™ II is loaded with enough weight, 25-35 pounds for most comrades.

Finally, an ab machine that brings out the beast in you—and then some.

A Great Added Bonus: Are you living in an already over-cluttered space? Want to conveniently hide the secret of your abs-success from envious neighbors? The new Ab Pavelizer™ II easily and quickly folds away in a closet or under your bed. Once prying eyes have left, you can put it up again in seconds for another handshake with heaven—or hell, depending on your perspective.

Q: Based on your "hardest situp" article [#47], I purchased an Ab Pavelizer last December. I have definitely benefited from this device and share your feeling that, done properly, Janda situps are very difficult. I recently noticed that Pavel (Dragon Door) has a new Ab Pavelizer 2.

I asked Dragon Door how it differs from the originally units. Here’s part of what they told me: "Because of the way it is used, you know exactly when you are cheating (if your feet raise off the floor or the units slides toward you). Plus, by adding weight to the unit, you can increase the difficulty of the situps."

I’d be interested in your reaction to the new Pavelizer.

A: I was curious as well and ordered a Pavelizer 2 to see for myself. (I offered to pay for it, but Dragon Door insisted on giving me a free review unit.). The new unit is different, for the reasons stated and others. I like it. The principle is the same, but the new unit is more user-friendly and probably has wider appeal. It’s easier to use, and definitely more foolproof. My wife, Carol, showed little interest in the original models, but she likes the new one.

The design is different. The old units are stable; the resistance pad doesn’t move. The new version rocks back and forth; the pressure exerted on the back of the legs depends on how much weight is on the opposite end. The more weight you put on the unit, the more you have to use your leg biceps and glutes to hold it down.

Actually, it’s quite ingenious. The Evil Russian is devilishly clever.

As Dragon Door told you, the new unit won’t let you cheat. If you jerk or try to anchor your feet, bringing the hip flexors into play, your feet come up or the unit slides toward you. It’s a delicate balancing act. You hold the pads down using your leg biceps and glutes -- which takes the hip flexors out of play -- using just enough resistance to keep your feet on the floor, without pulling the unit toward you. The result is what I would call an enhanced crunch. You literally can not sit up all the way.

As Pavel says in the instruction guide which comes with the unit, "Sitting up all the way becomes a mechanical impossibility unless you start with a jerk (a no-no!)." When they say the new unit is harder than the Pavelizer Classic, that’s probably what they mean.

You can do a full situp on the old model, but it’s literally impossible on the new unit. The new unit recruits the glutes and hamstrings big time, taking the hip flexors completely out of the movement, which isolates the abs.

Placing your hands behind your neck makes it a little harder. Don’t pull on your head; you’ll get a headache or a sore neck.

I now alternate the old and new Ab Pavelizer from workout to workout, and rarely do the regular crunch.

Now that works	Rated 10 out of 10
Prior to getting the Pavelizer II, my wife would assist me in doing the Jandas. I thought I had them down until last night. I put a 25 lb plate on the Pavelizer, hooked my calves over the rollers and lay back. Tighten the glutes, drive the heels into the floor & rollup. Hello, this is it?? I got by shoulder blades off the floor. More effort got me up to the small of my back on the floor and that was it. Back down, relax & repeat. 3 sets of 5 was all I had. Today my abs are sore from the sternum to the pelvic area, as promised. Thanks. I'm looking forward to the pain, sort of. sandstorm - Midland, TX USA
More than I ask for.	Rated 10 out of 10
This is a good machine-though it does more than I ask for. Wimps beware! You might overtrain. If you are already working every muscle in a gym, this thing doesnt make your recovery time any quicker. No,I want to isolate the abs, and the abs only. The advantage of using your hands is that your hands and forearms are very dense anyway -that is why I strongly prefer the first one. But if you're not getting maximum overload in the gym, and your priority is strong abs, then working a few extra muscles is just a plus! Guiding the movement with the hands suits me better. It's how I enjoy it. Also, looking at this machine without having tried it,I really do think it does the trick for isolating the abs.-Really! I think all women should use this machine. Especially after a pregnancy to get their tone back. Jameel - Sweden
Simple, yet so damn evil!	Rated 10 out of 10
The AB Pavelizer is hands down "THE" best AB training device I have ever used! Simple put, this thing is evil! I noticed almost immediate results and a burn in my AB's that I never thought possible! I have better six pack AB's at 28yrs. old than I did when I was 19! If you want to melt your mid-section and destroy those love handles, the AB Pavelizer is the one tool that get it done in a hurry!

Delivers great, hard-earned results!	Rated 10 out of 10
The fist time I used this product, I was disappointed. Having never done jandas before, I followed the instructions and loaded a 25lb plate on and went for it. Nothing. I hardly budged. After much practice I have mastered the janda using a 10 lb plate and am looking foward to upping the weight soon. The pavilizer provides a great recuperative training of the abdominal region in addition to teaching the principle of full-body tention the hardway. In short: If you are an experienced strength trainer and are familiar with Pavel's products, order right away and get to it. On the other hand, if you are a strength training beginner, order right away (rush delivery if possible) and be prepared to invest a good deal of effort into learning technique in order to recieve max benifits from this machine. Stick with it! PS There are some great people on the forums that provide plenty of tips and support, don't leave this resource untapped! steve - Monroe, NC
So simple yet so powerful	Rated 10 out of 10
I felt jipped when this equipment arrived and I read the instructions. Midway through the first workout my abs were screaming. The next morning I knew I had worked my abs and not my hips like other machines. My wife uses it also, but with less weight. David - Upper Darby, PA

Man this thing works!	Rated 10 out of 10
When I first used my Pavelizer, I thought I could at least do 1 rep. I did 1/4 of a rep. Plus my abs felt tense as if I had done quite a few crunches. I can't wait till I can do five, which means hard strong abs! Christopher Burns - Fort Stewart, Georgia United States
Effective and to the point	Rated 10 out of 10
I use the Pavelizer as my primary abdominal exercise. Friends that see my abdominal "apparatus" on the floor at first gawk and quizically inquire about the purpose behind it, then they laugh, and then they cry in shame when they can't perform a single repetition. The feeling of having to use your abdominal muscles without recruiting hip flexors is like trying to tread water while holding an anchor; lots of effort and very little progress. Within two weeks of following the Bullet Proof abs program I started feeling the results. My stomach felt taught and did not "belly-out" when I laid sideways in bed. After a month or two of using it my abdominal wall felt like a shield, and I noticed being able to sit up from the floor without hand assistance. Although I cycle through ab-wheel, leg raises, windmills and suitcase deadlifts; the Pavelizer will always be my primary abdominal exerciser.

Solid Investment	Rated 9 out of 10
Very solid investment, very solidly made I can tell it is durable and will last forever. Only complaint would be when attempting to put it together for the first time, the black coating over the male and female connectors was an problem. Not overly so, with a bit of course grit sand paper and a bit of time, I managed to sand off enough of the black coating on the male ends and enough on the female ends to fit them together. Also had to use a hammer and a thick cloth to bang them together, as the fit is still quite snug. But once fully together it is ready for use, no complaints other than that. A stellar and quality piece of equipment, a quality investment for the long run! I gave it a 9 only because of the slight problem with the fitting, at least my model would not be an easy "break down and slide under bed" thing. Very happy other wise. David Hayden - Covington Indiana USA
The only thing negative about this machine is the price.	Rated 10 out of 10
I've always been skeptical (and with good reason) about the newest ab workout machine that "gets results fast" and "requires little effort." 99% of the time the machine is just a pile of junk that is meant to sap lazy people of their money. For this reason, I was very hesitant to purchase the Pavelizer. However, after enough research I finally put down the money and ordered one, making it the first ab machine I ever got "suckered" into buying. Thankfully, I didn't feel like a sucker at all; I instead felt incredibly sore in the gut. This machine works. It works very well. I felt sore after 2 days and saw results within 3. My only reommendation would be (like all exercise) to keep consistent with your goal, and not to skip a day. Overall, I'm very pleased with the pavelizer and if you have the cash, I highly recommend getting one. Peyton Sleigh - Los Angeles, CA USA
Everything simple is good	Rated 10 out of 10
A very ingenious bare-bones piece of exercise equipment for doing state-of-the-art Janda situps! I'm glad I bought one, and I'm glad to use it. Far more effective than the worthless mechanical contraptions that are out there. 'Everything simple is good' --quoted by Mikhail Kalashnikov S. Vogt - Westfield, MA
