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.

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!

This DVD starts out with a promise that carries an iron clad money back guarantee stating that you will learn “How to safely survive and WIN EVERY fight that you EVER fight.”

This is a pretty serious commitment and to back it up by a ‘no excuses’ money back guarantee is something that is sure to get anyone’s attention – - but does it hold up to it’s guarantee?

What this Program Offers You:

Nearly two hours of power-packed workout instructions in DVD format by RKC (Russian Kettlebell Challenge) Team Leader, Tom Corrigan supposedly turning firefighters into

“Nearly invincible specimens of enduring power and shock-proof heart…”

Anyone who knows anything about the life of a firefighter knows how tough and demanding the job can be. At ANY time, you could be called out to a situation where you are risking your life to save other people’s lives — and, firefighters need to be at the epitome of strength, stamina and agility that is no nonsense.

You’d better be able to use what you develop in ‘real life’ or it means nothing.

That’s what “KB Fire” is all about.

Here are some examples of the real world challenges that the training addresses:

• Wrenching open stuck doors
• Hoiking heavy hoses
• Clambering up high ladders
• Grabbing at falling objects
• Shouldering every imaginable size and shape of human victim
• Axing away at walls and ceilings
• Yanking at debris
• Dragging bags
• Pushing, shoving and straining against suddenly immovable objects
• Sprinting up and down stairs
• Reaching up, down, below, through and into every imaginable hole and crevice
• Bending and twisting aside heavy metal
• Breaking down or smashing through doors
• Jumping for your very life

These kinds of situations are responsible for the on the job injuries that firefighters face every year… ..About 35,000 a year on average that is.

The “KB Fire” trainer Tom Corrigan states that the versatility of Kettlebells is unsurpassed when it comes to the different manners of training which you can cover using them. This means in lifting, swinging, hurling, trusting or gripping, stretching….you name it.

“KB Fire” has an exhaustive list of exercises which Tom walks you through step by step in order to ensure maximum safety and benefits from performing them the correct way. The exercises pretty much run the gamut of possibilities when it comes to application of real world situations and the strength, stamina and speed needed to deal with them.

Who is Your Trainer:

Tom Corrigan has been a member of the Everett Fire Department since 1994 and has been an avid kettlebell trainer since 2002. He is also the owner of “Blue Collar Fitness”, a company which specializes in “training you for the job and not the gym.”

This last statement is key when it comes to workout routines for anyone who needs the muscle tone, the strength, the endurance and the speed that they build to be useful in real life situations. Here is a guy who knows from personal experience (and continued personal experience I might add) what it takes to be a first class fire fighter.

What Could Be Better About This Program:

The trainer’s experience and the list of exercises in this program is impressive … Tom really doesn’t leave anything to chance … but, that being said, the review of this program is mediocre at best.

For starters, the review of this program may have been higher if the program was specifically designed for firefighters who were just starting off with kettlebell training — not for anyone with kettlebell experience.

Though the overall content and mission of the program is admirable, when put to the test, firefighters were:

• disappointed at the quality of the video & sound and
• felt that the exercises were too basic.

In fact, a common argument was that the firefighters’ felt that the kettlebell exercises were not as ‘profession specific’ as they had hoped them to be.

That being said, we gave this review just shy of 3 stars.

The Price of the Program:

Given the basic nature of the program, we feel that the asking price of $49.95 is a bit steep.

The objective of this program is to help you to become a great firefighter; however, the material is just too basic.

The real question here is whether or not this is the workout for you. If you are a firefighter, policeman or some other type of ‘occupational athlete’ who’s just getting started in kettlebells, you may want to consider this program – though, personally, I would suggest giving serious consideration to Pavel’s Enter the Kettlebell.

If you’ve got a bit more experience,   perhaps consider The Russian Kettlebell Challenge or More Russian Kettlebell Challenges – phenomenal products!

But, can it hold up to the test?

Personally, I own this DVD and love it — and it’s PERFECT for those that are just starting using kettlebells.

Here is What You Can Expect

This is a 46 minute DVD where Pavel lays out a completely idiot proof system for mastering the art of kettlebell training.

Here are some of the objectives of “Enter the Kettlebell”:

• Maximize Stamina-if you are an athlete or a fighter, your skills are only as good as they are durable.  Pavel gives you the edge to blow away all your competitors.
• Forging a Rock Solid Physique-this is not the type of strength training that only does you good when you are in the gym. Pavel knows EXACTLY what it takes to build the strength that you can use when it REALLY counts!

Your New Coach Pavel Tstatsouline

This guy has dedicated most of his career to working with the elite forces of the military, both the Soviet Union and the United States. These are the workout routines and exercises he uses to turn these guys into lean mean fighting machines. I’m not sure how much more qualification you could ask for!

Not to mention that there are a TON of other workout DVDs which you can get for the same price (or more) that were created by people with nowhere near the qualifications that this guy has.

He really covers all the bases when it comes to doing the exercises the RIGHT way – for safety (very important) and for maximum results.

Pavel moves you step by step through a process which can take you from a complete beginner in kettlebell training to a ‘Man Among Men.’

There are three stages to this process and the third is precisely what he has used to help people obtain Special Forces level conditioning for strength speed and stamina. Pretty cool.

This is the most thorough workout approach you could hope for. At the same time, once you get the exercises down, you can compress your training into one routine which covers the entire body. Not a bad deal for less than 30 dollars.

Who is “Enter the Kettlebell” For?

For starters, if you’ve never picked up a kettlebell before or if you’d like to expand your range of kettlebell exercises, this is definitely the DVD to own.

As far as kettlebell training, that depends on how seriously you take your physical conditioning. If you are a professional fighter or athlete (especially if you play a contact sport) then using this routine could very well make you the envy of your competition.

This is for firefighters or law enforcement, and of course military, you are working with someone who the military elite pretty much trust with their survival. Think about it, if they can’t out match their opponent it could cost them their life.

For body builders or strength trainers, this can help you to iron out the weak spots in your lifts or in your physique and possibly save you a lot of extra training time that you may have spent working with conventional weights.

Or, if you just want to have a great physique and be in the top physical shape of your life, this is the workout you have been waiting for.

How Much Does it Cost?

To begin with, the workout DVD is well worth the price you are going to pay for it – it’s only $29.95 (and he could easily charge double!)

Pavel Tstatsouline promises a one hundred percent money back guarantee and, because he has a reputation which speaks for itself, you could pretty much skip the research part and just buy this product.

With Pavel at your side, you can’t go wrong. Great Product.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to build a rock hard physique and with the strength of a gorilla.

What Can This Product Do For Me?

“The Russian Kettlebell Challenge” starts out by covering the proper way to execute the kettlebell exercises for maximum results and proper safety. Then it quickly jumps into instructions regarding strength building exercises, muscle toning, and even includes a very good cardio workout.

So what Pavel actually does is creates a well rounded approach which covers a few different types of training…

For Power lifters

Ever hit that spot in your dead lift or your bench press where you just get stuck?

Kettlebells is the ultimate solution to break that plateau.

Working with kettlebells is the most efficient way to zero in one those difficult ranges of motion which weaken your heavier lifts.

Believe me, even the most experienced power-lifters are likely to FEEL those neglected spots the day after!

What you’ll find is that those ‘wrinkles’ within your power lifts will get ironed out as a result of working with kettlebells.

The difference for some people could mean as much as 20-40lbs (or more) added to your bench press or dead lift.

For Athletes, Professional Fighters and Law Enforcement

For those of you who are athletes or fighters or who are in law enforcement, you have to make sure that the results are going to be useful to you in a real life setting. You want something that incorporates agility and strength training into one neat little package.

Click Here to Get Started With “The Russian Kettlebell Challenge”

The freedom of motion involved in kettlebell training really gives the body a chance to develop more naturally. Unlike the use of traditional weights, you build strength that has the versatility to give you an edge in real life situations.

Also, the cardio workout has a great combination of strength and stamina training that can maximize your workout time.

Not to mention that the trainer has an entire career full of experience in training the military and US elite forces. If you are a martial artist, a wrestler or are in any kind of contact sport like football or rugby, Pavel is the guy to listen to.

For Ladies

Ok for the ladies who might be reading this and thinking that you don’t really care about bench pressing Buicks or lifting your man up over your head (unless that’s your thing). The Russian Kettlebell Challenge is a great way to also build lean muscle tone for a sexy bikini body.

The Russian Kettlebell Challenge does is provide you with a versatile knowledge of strength training that can be applied for light muscle gain. This will turn your body into a fat burning machine!

Not a bad deal right? Not to mention that lean muscle tone looks really sexy on a woman. Just make sure that you purchase the smaller sets of kettlebells for more repetitions (or you may end up with arms like Hulk Hogan (not sexy)).

… and, ladies, just so you know, kettlebells are quickly becoming the top secret of elite supermodels around the globe!

So Who is Pavel Tsatsouline?

Pavel is actually a former Soviet Special Forces instructor and has moved on to working with the elite units of the United States Military and law enforcement. This ought to assure you of his extraordinary abilities.

These people who he is working with trust him to deliver a training program with rapid and powerful results. You see,  for you and I, kettlebell training might be just about looking nice in our bathing suit.  However, for many of Pavel’s students, they’re training  to be in better condition than their enemies or they risk being taken out by them.

Needless to say, if you take his advice and do these exercises the right way, the benefits are second to none and you will be in a class of fitness above everyone else.

What Could Have Been Better

Being an overachiever, I personally feel that something which had a step by step routine to follow would be more ideal (personal preference).

That being said, the Russian Kettlebell Challenge is probably more than enough for the average person (and will definitely give even an experienced athlete a run for their money!)

Pavel also has ‘Enter the Kettlbell’ and ‘The Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout’ which would make for perfect additions to the ‘set.’

My favorite thing about this program is that it provides you will a full body workout for toning, building strength and for getting the heart and lungs in shape.

Overall, you can’t go wrong with the Russian Kettlebell Challenge.  It truly is a great product!

How Much is the Kettlebell DVD?

The price is $39.99 which in my opinion is a no brainer given the high level of instruction and training.

Not to mention the 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

My advice.  Give it a shot.  You won’t be disappointed.
