Pavel's DVD is a treasure trove of information for any beginner or expert strength trainer. I was trained by Bill Starr in Power Lifting and Weight Lifting(Olympic Lifting to the ignorant.) and was a personal trainer/instructor 26 years, Military Police/Correctional Officer for 11 years and coaching/instructing Judo and Ju-jitsu for the last 8 years, and I was in the Marine Corps, Navy, and the Guard for giggles and grins, so I have some knowledge on the subject matter. I can honestly say that Pavel is 100% correct! Give his DVD or book a shot (hell, I bought both!) and you'll see that you don't need hundreds of reps or dozens of different exercises to become rock hard and strong as coiled steel. What Pavel and Bill Starr have in common is that neither of them accept Status Quo in their work and they both know how to make you STRONG. Both Pavel and Starr looked beyond traditional Western methods and dogma regarding what it takes to get strong. But, as far thinking as Bill's classic work "The Strongest Shall Survive Strength Training for Football" was Pavel's works are light years ahead of the pack. What would you expect from someone who got to use Spetsnaz soldiers for guinea pigs and had all of the Evil Empire's sport science data at his disposal. This guy just keeps getting better and better! Those who whine about "too few exercises" "too expensive" obviously don't know their ass from a hole in the ground! Remember, you get what you pay for! Less IS more! When the exercises WORK don't cry about your pencil neck gym class going bye bye, strap on a pair and do the exercises and become a man! Then maybe you'll be able to pick up a Russian Kettlebell! Pain tells you you are still alive, enjoy the pain.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this video is the offical lecture of super strength. Want to be stronger then every one around you, but can't get to a gym? Not a problem, because Paval teaches you how to get a powerlifters work out with what ever you have now. This program is for every one, even if you can't do a single one arm push up (you will be soon!) This program picks up where Power! To the People left off on tension and effective training. Grease the Groove will fill you with power! If you are not willing to pay the measely asking price for this kind of information, then you are a fool.

EXCELLENT!!! Bought it, watched it, then watched it all over again twice more. Great to have the book and dvd together. Very well made and with highly pactical techniques. No gibberish, just genuine strength. Recommended.

Paul Vanderhei - beecher, Illinois USA

The Book and DVD are a must have to anyone who goes away from their Kettlebells and other iron, I have a girlfriend that I spend week ends with and I don't always want to haul my iron around especially if I am in my Power to the People cycle. Huge plates or iron, across town venture etc. So this come in very handy if I am not lugging my KB's around.

If you travel and do not have your iron, or where ever you are dosn't have anything useful this is a must have instead of skipping your work out.

Realy great DVD. Although it only covers a few exercises, you can apply the principles of GTG with practically any strength exercise.

Excellent exercises. But I found the one handed pushups and single leg squats too tough to start with.

I will need to slowly build up to them

Although there is good information in this DVD, it's description is a little misleading. One would think it is full of bodyweight exercises. Really, it is about the one legged squat and the one armed push up.

Being able to do those exercises is important because of everything else that comes into play. Maybe a rewrite of the DVD's description is in order.

The price in my opinion is also almost double what it should be. You get twice the information in DVDs by some of the worlds leading strength coaches for almost half this price.

Pavel also seems to cash in on the gimmick that he is from Russia. He over emphasizes his accent and says "Comrade" so much it becomes irritating.

I frequently travel for my work and many hotels have little or no exercise equipment. The knowledge I gained from the Naked Warrior allows me to get a good strength workout no matter where I stay. I give this a 9.5. It would be a 10 but I would like to have seen a few more suggestions for different types of workout routines.
Craig Merritt - Sioux Falls, SD USA

As good as the Naked Warrior book was, some of the movements still didn't click for me until I saw them demonstrated. The DVD really made a difference.
Robert Dorf - Cherry Hill, NJ, USA

The Naked Warrior brings bodyweight exercises to the forefront
of fitness routines! Pavels no nonsense approach and solid technical
instructions make free hand exercise a breeze. Me doing 1 handed
push-ups? I never thought so, but I am on my way! Yes - get this DVD!

My boyfriend has the book and so I got him the DVD to go along with it -- excellent run through by Pavel and he even adds a little humor.

-This was the stuff your highschool gym coach should have taught you, but didn't.-
Being a frequent 'road warrior' I often find myself staying in hotels that tout their 'GYM' as an important feature and amenity. These so called GYMs are usually woafully inadequate, or in some cases non existent.
Watching this video, I was struck by the concept that not only could I get an amazingly beneficial strength practice in while on the road, but could add two brutally effective and impressive techniques to my already rigorous routines.
Having purchased several of Pavel's books and videos, and already incorporating dead lifts, presses, and kettlebell training into my routines, my body has been transforming itself into a Spetsnaz recruiting poster.(Thank You Pavel!)
The Naked Warrior DVD REALLY helped me to master these two amazingly effective exercises because I could watch the movments over and over, and thus critically adjust my own faltering form, and figure out where I was "leaking power".
Pavel just seems to understand where you might hit SNAFUs and addresses these as well as offers suggestions and tips for how to avoid them.(very comprehensive)
As far as personal application of these exercises goes, the one arm push-up gets practiced mostly on the road, however I find myself practicing my pistols and their variations almost daily, both "naked" and with a 24kg kettlebell.
The benefits of this exercise alone on overall strength and conditioning cannot be over-emphasized. My dead lifts skyrocketed as a result of this little training nugget. The psychological impact of being able to do something very few "fit" people are capable of is an amazing confidence builder as well.
All in all I am VERY happy with my purchase of the DVD. If you are one of those people that can learn by reading only, I applaud you. The Naked Warrior book is certainly a great purchase and an engrossing read. But if you're like me and need a good visual reference and example to follow to really excel, then do yourself a favor and also buy the DVD. You won't regret it.
Chandler - Nixa, Mo USA

The DVD overall is very well done, and Pavel is amazing, however I was hoping for more beginner steps to help you get to the point where Pavel is. Good video for those advanced enough, but not the best starting place for a beginner.
Phil - Phoenix, Az

i liked the dvd. the explaination were simple and to the point. the demonstrations were preformed with good shape and alignment. the visual and verble queues were in harmony. i did not see any waisted time which made it easy to watch and learn. the reason i scored the product as an eight was: i was looking for more drills to developed core strenght and fast twitch muscles. i got done with the dvd wanting more information/drills, i just thought it was to short. note: i am a gymnastics coach and i am always on the look out for better and different ways to develope core strength, balance, power, and speed for my gymnastics. thank you very much for your product...
Robert R. Davila - Palmer, Alaska USA

This DVD has great workouts for more advanced "body-builders." However, most of the exercises are almost impossible if you do not already have upper-body strength. I compare this to trying to bench 200 lbs the first time you have ever lifted weights--it's probably not going to happen.

The other "bad" value of this DVD is that if you are looking for a DVD to work out with (e.g. Tae Bo), then this is not the video for you. It simply gives you a very brief overview of the work out to perform--after that, it moves very quickly on to the next exercise. It doesn't even give you the number of repititions you should perform to get a "full" workout.
Tim - Pensacola, FL

I have been using this program for over 2 years now. It’s the only strength training I use, and the only one I will probably ever use. This is the real deal; I’m just now able to do the more difficult things on the DVD with maximum proficiency. There is no question this DVD makes you stronger. I have a friend who can bench twice as much as me, but I over power him easily. I could go on and on about this DVD, but no time I need to go do some one-handed dive-bomber pushups. If your hesitant about buying this DVD, hesitate no longer it will be the best decision you ever make.
