ETK Review

Here is the link to a review of Pavel's ETK Program. It was written by MC, who is an RKC from London, England.
http://http://nopain2.org/archives/000068.html I just wanted to post this for anyone interested in reading it.

Interested in Kettlebells?

If you are, I strongly urge you to buy Enter the Kettlebell, by Pavel Tsatsouline, along with an 18# kettlebell for women, and a 35# kettlebell for men. See the Dragon Door add link in the upper right hand corner of the page. Read the ETK book, so that you understand the theory behind what you're about to do. If you have any questions, ask them on the RKC forum. Don't assume anything. Then you need to get some private instruction, to refine your technique, and make sure you're performing the lifts safely/correctly. Next begin 'practicing', not working out, with the Swing & the Turkish Get Up. Get familiar with these lifts, and slowly increase your numbers, a little at a time. Once your technique is fluid, you can begin the RKC Program Minimum, and then the Rite of Passage, which will transform you to a whole new level of fitness. For fat-loss, a strict nutritional program is crucial. Eliminating or reducing sugar intake, processed foods, sodas, and eating more lean meats, and fresh fruits & green veggies.

Prior to starting the ETK program, I would highly recommend you get a copy of Anthony DiLuglio's ETK Workbook, (http://artofstrength.com/). This workbook is a companion to Pavel's ETK book/program. The ETK program is written out for you in detail, step by step, all you have to do is workout, and write down what you did, on the spaces provided on the pages of the workbook.
To reape the benefits of a Kettlebell, you must work hard. They are not an 'easy road' to loosing weight, or getting strong. If it's easy, it's probably not worthwhile.
