“More Russian Kettlebell Challenges” DVD is an extension of the well-respected and very popular “Russian Kettlebell Challenge” DVD.
First, you’ll see that I gave this product a very enthusiastic five star rating.
I do admit that I am a bit partial as being a fan of Pavel’s work as I own several of his products and have personally experienced the explosive strength and fitness results.
“More Russian Kettlebell Challenges” is a packed course covering 25 no-nonsense drills which can catapult your kettlebell training to a whole new level.
You name a muscle in the body and this course nails it: legs, calves, abs, upper and lower back, chest, shoulders, biceps and triceps. Even those dreaded forearm exercises we all usually find an excuse to skip!
Pavel Tsatsouline does it again in this extensive breakdown of kettlebell exercises to work every muscle group. As usual, his attention to detail leaves nothing to chance when it come to safety and maximum effectiveness for burning fat and building solid muscle mass, strength and agility.
Here is a glimpse of what you will get when you purchase “More Russian Kettlebell Challenges.”

The site states that kettlebells are:
“stealing the fat off your bones, jump starting muscle growth and turning even average fighters into coiled powerhouses of lethal strength so fast you’d swear it happened while you slept.”
While I must say that this type of workout does anything but put you to sleep, the approach certainly is conducive to fast results
What About the Kettlebell Trainer?
In case you are not already acquainted with Pavel Tsatsouline, he is an instructor for the elite units of the US military. He got his start in working as a Special Forces instructor for the Soviet Union.
In other words, this is not your run of the mill personal trainer who spent six weeks getting his certification. This is a guy who teaches people how to train the most efficient and injury proof way and to insure their survival on the battle field. He’s pretty much as qualified as they come.
The Investment for More Russian Kettlebell Challenges For…
The investment is a little more than the beginning kettlebell training DVDs. But we are still only talking about $47 – a very reasonable price (especially when you consider the results!)
If you’re looking for serious results, this is a no brainer!
It is about time someone put the “Fit” in Fitness !
Pavel does this with his direct no nonsense approach “If it was easy everyone would be doing it!”. If you are a lazy couch potato this is not for you but if you are serious about total body strength training buy it NOW and have the Kettlebells ready!
Thank you Pavel !

As Law Enforcement, I can tell you that if you are not in shape for a fight or have the toughness (physically and mentally) to keep fighting after being stabbed or shot by a suspect, one day you are going to die. I have been working with my kettlebells for a week now following along with the DVD and getting an awesome workout everytime. Pavel’s directions are easy to follow and very detailed. HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL WILL SAVE YOU FROM INJURY………..IF YOU LISTEN ! ! ! ! These are awesome full body workouts that will put you in fighting trim building BOTH strength and endurance. Thanks to you Pavel and the people at Dragon Door for bringing a fantastic OLD SCHOOL tool back to the forefront of REAL fitness here in the U.S.

Bought the DVD as I’m shifting away from VHS tapes. Like the exercises (the same way I like being choked and arm-barred in my ju-jitsu classes). A good collection of variety to expand on the original Challenge.

Of all the DD videos that I have seen, this one is hands down the best. Why?
- Multiple camera angles throughout
- Close-ups of Pavel in action.
- Aside from demonstrating the exercises, Pavel also explains the exercises in fine detail. Some of the other videos lack this aspect.

I was very impressed and am sold. I will buy your video and the KBs

Comanadant of this “Courage Corner” former Russian Spetsnaz D.I. Pavel Tsatsouline delivers some outstanding instruction that has to be seen to be appreciated. Do your self a favor, skip over all of the over-hyped up advertising about this video and just do yourself a favor and get this video. The quality is what you would expect of a Tsatsouline video. The drills are demostrated with adept skill and perfect execution. He is an example that this stuff works.
25 drills in this video. Some of them expand on the ones previously demonstrated in the “Russian Kettlebell Challenge”, and make them more challenging. Others are ones you’ve never seen before. All of them are “must haves” in your KB lifting repotoire. All of them are tough. There are no namby-pamby excercises in this video.
Tsatsouline demonstrates the drills with the ease and grace normally reserved for an Olympic figure skater, only this guy, who looks like he was carved out of stone, and is heaving hoisting kettlebells. I am very satisfied with the purchase of the video. Originally I was tuned out by too much hype, however the video delivers. I am glad I bought it. My kettlebell lifting which is always improving, has already improved from it.
The video has more camera angles than the first, however, I would start with the “RKC” before getting “More RKC”. More RKC definitely will improve my KB lifting for a long time to come.

The video takes you through some new moves with great detail and also revisits some older ones with more attention to the finer points. Many of the movements are shot from multiple camera angles making it much easier to see what Pavel is doing. It shows where the hips are in relation to the shoulder & to the kb which is essential when lifting heavier weights. IMO, this is definitely not a beginner’s tape.
This tape will give you many more wepons is your arsenal of kb exercises. Hopefully it will help you to come up with some new moves of your own. Kb offer variety of exercises and great flexibilty in program design and this video will give you more to work with.
Pavel also points out the dangers inherent in not focusing on what you are doing! KB demand respect & the bite hard if they dont get it!
I love the kb row from the pushup position, the get-up situp is great for the abs and arms and the OLY style snatch should enable me to snatch the 2 pood soon. The variation on the Bent Press technique will let work that exercise now where I couldnt before becuase of apparent lack of flexibilty across the mid back/base of scapulae.
Highly recommended!

Pavel has done another excellent job in presenting challenging drills that will take your kettlebell practice and fitness to new heights. Pavel’s trademark humor is ever present, and his instruction is no-nonsense and, as always, well done. Multiple camera angles are used, and are very helpful in grasping the fine points of the drills. Pavel’s instruction is pure gold – detailed and meticulous. There is a tremendous amount of valuable information packed into this 40 minute tape. Watch and listen closely, follow Pavel’s advice, and you’ll find something remarkable in the fitness industry – someone actually delivering on what might appear to be the usual marketing hyperbole. Pavel’s stuff works – period. His methods – and his kettlebells that are my prized possessions – are simply the most effective combination – by far – that I’ve ever encountered in 30 years of training. This tape, like all of Pavel’s products, is worth every penny.

This tape immediately provided the means for me to extend my current routine, and improve my technique on exercises that I have been doing for some time. Some exercises are new to me and fantastic – I especially like the Renegade Row. The Getup Situp is a fine exercise, I imagine, but I cannot quite manage it yet, even with the 1 pood… Other exercises are variations on the classic exercises. I especially ‘enjoy’ the anchored and alternate snatch. It is quite obvious just from one day’s practice of them, that they will help improve my snatch technique. Other exercises are not new to me, but Pavel provides valuable technical assistance for their proper execution. I especially appreciate the extra time he gives to the front squat, and I can already feel the results from my improved technique. I haven’t had the time yet to try all of the exercises – the wrist drills look quite interesting, and I suspect they are far more difficult than Pavel makes them seem. This tape is NOT only for advanced KB’ers. I would certainly not consider myself advanced, having virtually no background in strength training, and having only a few months experience. I would I would say that it is invaluable for anyone who isn’t a rank beginner, and who is SERIOUS about improving his/her technique and getting into better shape. I do wish that Dragondoor would accompany these tapes with a list of exercises and the elapsed time at which they appear on the tape. I must confess that my favorite moment on the tape is Pavel’s diablolical chuckle when he drops the KB during his demonstration of the DARC swing.
