BodyweightWKPPAVEL1What You'll Get From Pavel

You are missing the boat Big Time—and leaving stacks of "strength-cash" on the table—if you train your abs ONLY with external resistance. 50% of your abs work should have THIS focus—if you REALLY want to bank a blistering six-pack…
 
What is Pavel’s "improved back-pressure-crunch-sequence" —and how can you use to it to school your abs into rigid attention?
 
If you don’t know these new Hanging Leg Raise subtleties and variations and don’t bother to show up—then don’t whine to us when you fail to fully master this ultimate abs exercise…because we’ll be plain out of cheese…
 
The static-dynamic method can accelerate your strength gains with a surprising jolt of new power. Get it here.
 
Discover the intricacies of the modified Janda sit-up—and why some of the savvier, elite coaches have started teaching this remarkable method…
 
Master the perfect posture of strength with the unique "compression suit" plank—and instantly improve your one-arm pushup performance.
 
How to stop your back and hamstrings from "ripping off" your abs-strengthening drills…
 
EMG tests reveal that in the RKC plank, the internal obliques fire twice as strong, the abs three times as strong, and the external obliques four times as strong as in the traditional plank. Get more insights into why the RKC "reverse engineering of strength" is redefining our views of what can be attained…
 
The Ab Wheel is a tried-and-true gut torturer, no question—but let Pavel show how to make this apparently innocent little device even nastier—yet safer!
 
How to elevate your pull up and abs strength to the next level with a simple stick and a brutal old time strongman exercise.
 
How to train your pulling strength around an elbow injury.
 
How to train your pressing strength around an elbow or shoulder injury.
 
If uber-champion trainer Marty Gallagher demands that students do THIS bodyweight triceps exercise—then who are we not to demand it of you also? You have been warned…
 
How can this be possible? Yet it’s true: the Russian breakthrough of the artificial controlling environment has clocked strength gains at a 300% to 400% times faster pace than is possible with other methods…Pavel will explain how, why and what to do…
 
BodyweightWKPPAVEL2Superficialists like to diss HardStyle for the celebration of "high tension". Yet HardStyle, of course has its dark side—relaxation’s "Yin" to tension’s "Yang". Learn special stretches and relaxation drills to complete your tension training.
 
Just say no to "piking" and "arching"! Discover how to fix these two symptoms of a weak and uncoordinated midsection.
 
Discover THIS unique and remarkable abdominal exercise—developed in a lab and used by top fighters.
 
Learn how to employ the ancient magic of "Reverse breathing"—a highly effective power breathing variation…
 
THESE additional gymnastic hollow position drills can ONLY translate into greater strength…
 
Pavel learned THIS remarkable midsection drill from a former Mr. Olympia. It will work magic for athletes as well as for bodybuilders—get it here…
 
THIS Eastern European weightlifters’ technique will make your pistols a lot harder and stricter—which means even stronger and even more powerful legs, right?
 
Learn the "hanging kip"—a killer midsection drill from Prof. McGill’s lab.
 
Add THESE to your armory for additional strength firepower: safe, effective and fast eccentric bodyweight drills for muscle building…
