A must for those wishing to train effectively with kettlebells - By: M. Bach, 04 Aug 2008 
This is a great book for learning the techniques required for the various must do lifts. The number of main exercisesin the book, you could just about count on a single hand but the attention to detail is excellent, the teaching points are clear & explicit with clear pictures demonstrating how to perform & how not to perform while also giving advice as to how to strengthen weak pointsin your technique. As a certified Kettlebell Instructorin the UK I use this book & its compatriot for women (From Russia with tough love) as a point of reference & recommend them also to my clients if they are really committed to improving their performance/fat burning potential or whatever their goal is. The writing style is also very easy to read with some good background into the benefits of kettlebell training & some ideas for program design. I have used kettlebells for over 2 years now & seen some great gains with my clients. While I had to do a certified instructor course to be able to do this, this book is my text book for that & would not be without it.
Kicks Ass! - By: MMA_FIGHTER_78, 30 May 2008 After an injury I began to work out again slowly & was able to military press 12kg Kbells when I began reading this & within a month had bumped myself up to 20kg. I gained a stone of muscle & feel fitter & stronger than I have ever done my entire life. To be working out at this pace so soon after a back injury astounded me. Stick to the regime & you'll be buffed up & ready to rumblein no time. Buy, borrow or steal this book now!
An excellent book, and very effective program. - By: S. Al-Sabah, 02 Apr 2007 This book contains two very effective training programs, `The Program Minimum' & `The Rite of Passage'. You could summarise these programsin less than a page, it is the attention to detail where this book really shines, hence the 200 other pages.
If you arein anyway interestedin lifting kettlebells this is the book.
Please note I did not buy my copy from Amazon so I can't comment on the price.
