Outstanding training protocol

Obviously this book is for auditory learners at intermediate to elite training levels. However this training protocol is simple enough for the curious beginner who is willing to research proper form and technique elsewhere. There are no PDFs or videos on training techniques

Content is useful but too long for what it wants to transmit

It's a good buy, the workout is solid.

Content is useful but takes too long to get to the point, it could be summarized in 15min.

The review is highly personal, I really don't care much about the motivational psychology and narrative the author fills the blanks with, however the spin he puts on the narrative performance with the accent and bravado is hilarious and entertaining.

The last program you will ever need

No excuses here, a minimalist program that delivers and is scalable to any skill level. Repeat until Strong, that's it!Enjoy...

No Brainer

Pavel's Simple and Sinister program is perfect for anyone. Whether you're trying to level up in your sport or look great naked the protocol will help you achieve these goals. The program will make you stronger while leaving you fresh to practice your sport.

Great book, great program!

I love a book read by the author. Listening to this feels like being coached by Pavel himself. I've been lifting weights for 15+ years and this program is making me both stronger and leaner. I never understood how awesome kettlebells are until I started this. they really are didn't and in many ways better. I highly recommend this book. Pavel has a great sense of humor and a casual writing style that I really like. He's effective, entertaining and funny.

Ditch Everything Else And Do This

I wish I had this in my 20s but now in my 40s and following the program in this book I am in FAR better condition than I was in my 20s. This system is deceptively simple but it is based on very sophisticated science and decades of demonstrated proof. Follow the advice in this book and be prepared to get really strong and have strength that never quits.

Good Program

No doubt that this program makes you noticeably stronger and the routine is suitable for a workaholics lifestyle. If your a dude who wants to get stronger or someone who wants a good maintenance routine this is a program worth considering.

Program Works... Period

This is probably the most entertaining fitness book ever written. Pavel's dry, Russian sense of humor is both hilarious and inspiring. I was skeptical of his claims about the kettlebell being able to both strengthen and heal the body. But after a year on this program, I'm stronger than ever and my knee/back pain is gone. I've gained muscle and lost fat. The program is easy to follow and contains modifications and solutions for sticking points. For videos on form look at Strong First and Coach Vaughn on YouTube, then take a video with your phone. Die but do!

The best minimalist training program!

If you want the best minimalist training program then this is for you. I highly recommend this book and continue to follow this program yearly.

Nope

The book is more than likely very informative and good read but I couldnt do it to myself to listen to the audio version. It's unbearable to listen to Pavels short blast of stop/start sentences for hours on end.

Good

Thank you comrade i will be adding this to my training schedule for sure looking forward getting after it
