I have been in the field of strength and conditioning for 25 years and this is one of the best publications I have seen. Very informative! It has nothing but solid scientific information that is easy to understand and incorporate into your training. No fluff! Thank you John Ducane and Pavel. Great Job!

Power to the People Monthly is Pavel's best work and that is saying something! Yes I work closely with Pavel and get to pick his brain at different times but this is information I have never seen and it is awesome.

"Easy Strength" from the second edition should be required reading for every strength coach, coach and personal trainer - it encapsulates how to train athletes (and the rest of us) and lays the blueprint for you to follow. This alone would be worth the subscription and he is going to do it again next month.

It isn't the length of the monthly newsletter - It is the Content! I am still re-reading the first two editions and starting to implement the information.

The Power to the People Monthly newsletter is loaded with powerful strength and conditioning tips, killer sample programs, and enough useful training tidbits to satisfy any hardcore iron thrower. The information is clear and concise, and I like that. I don't have time for fluff, and neither does Pavel. That's why I read the Power to the People newsletter every month.

The article I thought would be longer, but the information was valuable and extremely helpful. I've started to use the technique for how to set up for the bench press the " Russian way" and can already tell a difference.

To The Party:

- I got these at the Level II (thank you Dennis!), but I've only had a chance to read over them very carefully now (since I'm on vaca).

- I have to say...if you still have a chance to get the back issues, GET THEM. There's a TON of stuff in there that you won't find in the books. ANY books. The issue on training athletes and fighters beats most books that I have. Considering that it's a newsletter...that's pretty ridiculous.

- If you're REALLY serious into strength training, this is a must. I've pored over about 2 or 3 (didn't just scan them), and I'm so impressed with the density of the material. Pavel's writing is direct, detailed, and full of references.

- In many ways, now that I have these, I'm sad that he stopped writing them. Wish there was more. But considering the amount of info put, and how carefully The Chief wrote each issue, I can imagine how time consuming this project must have been.

- Highly recommended!

If you are a mediocre strength athlete and want to become a world-class strength athlete then PTTP Monthly is the tool you must have in your belt.

PTTP Monthly demystifies the Russian, eastern block and western methods that forged the greatest champions the world has ever seen. Where the book Power to the People leaves off (teaching you all the basics of strength that any trainee should know regardless of implement) PTTP Monthly shows you the sets, reps, percentages, technique pointers, unique training methods and plateau busters that set world records.

This newsletter is not for the casual exerciser or fitness bunny. This IS for any serious strength athlete who wants to increase their bench press, squat, deadlift and overhead press to levels beyond what they thought possible.

If your goal is to pull ahead of the gym rat pack or win your weight class in a powerlifting competition then you must have this invaluable tool.

The information contained in Power to the People Monthly is exactly the type of information I have always needed, but didn't even know existed, let alone where to find it. I have sought to get stronger as an adjunct to my sports/professional interests, but the information I was able to find in the past was either geared to bodybuilders or powerlifters, neither of which worked too well when combined with the practice of a physically demanding sport or profession.

PTTPM shows you how to apply the lessons learned in powerlifting, Olympic lifting, strongman, and other pure strength sports to your athletic goals outside thoses areas.

I find at least one item of direct value to my training in each issue, and often entire issues seem to be written for my specific needs.

In the year and a half since I began using Pavel's training methods, I have met and exceeded strength goals that I had given up on years ago. I have been forced to revise my goals sharply upwards!

I commend PTTPM to any athlete who seeks to get stronger to enhance his performance.
Rick Leonard - Fredericksburg, Virginia USA

Pavel has done an EXCELLENT and AMAZING job of sharing Russian strength training secrets. All information provided in these journals is priceless! It is great to read about top Russian coaches and athletes training and programing secrets to outperform their specific strength sport. I value this information so much that I apply it to my clients' and my training programs. Anyone wanting to stay on top in training knowledge must subscribe to Power to The People Monthly!
Christian Lombardo - Huntington, NY

Straight to the point, always useful, the hallmarks of all of Pavel's products.

Even though it's main thrust is more towards power lifting and power lifting competition style workouts, there are always gems in-the-rough to be spotted by the trained eye, that enable the rest of us lone warriors to incorporate those subtle tweaks that make all the difference between average and elite performance.

Every time that big white envelope arrives, the spark is renewed.

What more could one ask?

Party on Comrades.

Apparently, Pavel can't write books and produce DVD's fast enough to get his seemingly infinite supply of training tips into the public arena; hence, his newsletter. At age 55 with a physically demanding job, I'm not likely to get much use out of these advanced training regimens, but Pavel has already covered the Beginner/Intermediate stuff... what else is he supposed to do? I, like so many others, am intensely jealous AND happy for those who are able to use this info and I still find it very interesting. Pavel, if you write it, I'll read it. And yes, aging has taught me about "easy strength" and NOT working to failure - thanks for the reminder.
Michael Edwards - Gainesville, FL USA

I really liked the content. I see that other reviewers would like to see more information geared toward the average, or not so competitive strength athlete, and I understand that. I would like to see more too. However, it is still filled with good information that can be put into practical use by athletes and trainers alike. It's not for everyone, but it can be used by anyone who is serious about strength and performance.
Ben Schneider, RKC - Traverse City, MI

Power To The People Monthly is great for elite lifters, but a little too serious and technical for the vast majority. (Not a bad thing, but is best suited for a very targeted audience.)
Tom D - Deerfield, IL

I loved this newsletter at first - I mean, to learn from Pavel is to learn from the best! But now it has very little content for the (above!) average weight trainer who want to work out more effectively AND have a life. Now it seems aimed at the diehard gym rat, who can take a year off from his family and job to reach a new personal best in the snatch and pull or whatever...
But I did enjoy the good stuff I could actually use when you had it, and I certainly wish you success with the new demographic you are targeting.
RONAN - Sarnia, CANADA

This product is truly one of the finest in the country for strength training.

If you have already read Power to the People and Beyond Bodybuilding, then this is your next step. The information is very clear and easily understood. Pavel has taken highly complex subjects such as plyometrics and russian speed training-and broken it down to easy to digest elements. If you are a power lifter this should be #1 on your wish list.

Very informative and not just on one topic. The articles are just what you would expect from one of Pavel's books and is a good fix to hold you over when anxiously awaiting the next copy of hardsyle and the even rarer output of Pavel's books. Only draw back is have more info to choose from on training and a simple impatient mind like mine might get dizzy. (only reason 9 out of 10 is because I have only seen one issue), that being said......
I never seen so much info on various topics in just a few pages (don't let the size of the package full you, its like a pamplet on steroids).

I enjoy the in-depth discussion into the topics each issue. Pavel offers several unique training concepts in each newsletter and explores them with great detail, allowing the reader to grasp each concept fully. I like that he again draws from several sources (some Russian, some American) in each issue. These are a must-read source of strength training knowledge!
Nathan Mosher, DPT - Albany, New York

Pavel once again proves why he is the most respected strength authority in this country! PTP monthly has a wealth of strength information in it. As a former drug free and drug free-gear free, state-national champion and record holder i thought i had read it or seen it all when it comes to strength information. But in the past 6 years since "discovering" pavel, i have learned more than the previous 20+ years combined. There is no doubt in my mind that with gear i could of added 50-75 pounds to my total and gear free easily 50 pounds using pavel's techniques and advice. My only regret is that i did not learn these "secrets" when i was 25 years younger! Even though i no longer compete (pavel has me seriously considering it though)his information is no nonsense and can be used by regular guys who have no desire to be roid freaks but aspire to get as strong as their genetics will take them. Using pavel's techniques have help me conquer 2 of the 3 lifts with the beast, needed to attain "hall of fame status". (I think I will be the oldest and heaviest member when the third lift falls, again unthinkable without pavel's invaluable advice). My babushka is off to the "evil russian"! Pavel's the man!
Patrick "phil" Workman, RKC - Fort Worth, Texas USA

Direct, to the point advice without wasting one's time with unnecessary fluff. Written in the vein of classics like The Russian Kettlebell Challenge and Beyond Bodybuilding, Pavel's new newsletter delivered great training tips in an easy to follow format. I look forward to future articles based on the enjoyment gained from reading the first issue.
