The kettlebell. AK-47 of physical training hardware. Hunk of iron on a handle. Simple, sinister, brutal—and ferociously effective for developing explosive strength, dramatic power and never-say-die conditioning. The man's man's choice for the toughest, most demanding, highest-yield exercise tool on the planet. Guaranteed to forge a rugged, resilient, densely-muscled frame—built to withstand the hardest beating and dish it right back out, 24/7.
Once the prized and jealously-guarded training secret of elite Russian athletes, old-school strongmen and the military, the kettlebell has invaded the West. And taken no prisoners—thanks to former Soviet Special Forces physical training instructor and strength author, Pavel Tsatsouline's 2001 publication of The Russian Kettlebell Challenge and his manufacture of the first traditional Russian kettlebell in modern America.
American hardmen of all stripes were quick to recognize what their Russian counterparts had long known—nothing, nothing beats the kettlebell, when you're looking for a single tool to dramatically impact your strength and conditioning. A storm of success has swept the American Strength and Conditioning landscape, as kettlebell "Comrades" have busted through to new PRs, broken records, thrashed their opponents and elevated their game to new heights of excellence.
With Enter the Kettlebell! Pavel delivers a significant upgrade to his original landmark work, The Russian Kettlebell Challenge. Drawing on five years of developing and leading the world's first and premiere kettlebell instructor certification program, and after spending five years of additional research into what really works for dramatic results with the kettlebell—we have Enter the Kettlebell!

The kettlebell has proved its worth many times over since Pavel has introduced it to America. Elite athletes, fighters, special operators, and regular hard Comrades swear by the extraordinary strength and conditioning delivered by this ancient Russian tool.
Now, it is YOUR turn to Enter the Kettlebell!
For a kettlebell novice, the hardest part is knowing where to begin. And what you really need to do to get off to a quick—yet rock-solid—start.
Pavel delivers…
For the Comrade who's already put in a year or two of kettlebell time, it's easy to hit a plateau after explosive early gains. Pavel knocks him out of his sophomore slump and helps him take his game to a higher level.
Then there's the grizzled KB vet who's been around the block and got too arrogant to practice his fundamentals (or never learned them in the first place). Pavel hammers the fundamentals because "it is the mastery of the basics that separates the elite from the rest."
With Enter the Kettlebell! Pavel has done all the work for you—honing a masterplan of essential training secrets that guarantee to make you powerful, resilient, and enduring—if you simply follow the proven guidelines.

"Pavel's Russian Kettlebell Certification was an intense learning period for exercise practice that you can't get anywhere else with people you probably couldn't find together in one group if you searched a lifetime. Excellent and thorough knowledge by all instructors, especially Pavel. Scope is probably the broadest I have ever dealt with. Practical use is excellent."
—Bud Jeffries, Author, world record powerlifter, Lakeland, FL

There is tremendous depth and it is extremely practical for anyone in athletics or just looking to get in shape. This workshop accomplished everything and more that I was hoping for."
—Thomas Phillips, 2002 Body-for-Life Grand master Champion, Special Education Teacher/ Owner personal training studio, Tinton Falls, NJ
"It was the most intense hands on high volume information and practical workshop I have ever attended. And believe me, I have been in this field for 27 years. And have been to countless seminars and workshops and nothing compares to what you will learn. If you you're an expert in this field, think again! I've got as much education and background as some of the best and I started learning the moment I walked through the door."
—Kerry Timko, Strength/Conditioning Coach/PT, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

If you want to realize your fitness goals and truly become a "functional freak", look no further than the exercises in this book, as perfectly executed snatches and swings will outperform any program out there right now. Thanks again Pavel for placing "infomercial workouts" in the garbage where they belong."
