Man, this takes me back. Borrowed Enter the Kettlebell from a martial arts instructor back in 2009. Was the perfect piece of exercise equipement for a 1 bedroom apartment. Knocked out my long term goal of doing 5 sets of 5 40 kg Turkish Get Ups before I turn 40 recently. How time flies.

I think he very consciously played out those one-liners like action heroes in the 80's and 90's.😃

Pavel's marketing be like: "Who needs a magic wand when you can overhead press a 24kg kettlebell."

Wow, haven't seen this in years, instant flashbacks all the way back to my first kettlebell workouts. I wonder how many of us would be kettlebelling if not for Pavel

I got the DVD when it was first released. I was into kettlebells for a few years by that point. I still have it.

This is a very valuable but very old book. Some techniques have improved a lot. Which is quite natural and positive. Pavel deserves our recognition. Big hug from Brazil. Ossssss

Every time I hear Pavel say, “Comrade, enter the kettlebell”, I feel like he’s giving advice for Saturday night after a few drinks.

This is the video that got me into kettlebelling! And you missed out on one of the better lines in the foundry scene. If memory serves, he talks about melting down Russian tanks or perhaps tank engines to make those kettlebells. I know it is only marketing but what a brilliant visual: almost as good as "Irn Bru, made in Scotland . . . from girrrderrrs." (OK Irn Bru [pronounced Iron Brew] is a sickly-sweet soft drink, popular in Scotland where people famously roll their Rs)

Excellent as always. I am a big fan of Pavel, and trained hardstyle for many, many years. I am currently working on GS with coaching from Denis Vasilev, but learned a ton from Pavel. There was a big jump in technique from the first video, RKC, to this one. It was mentioned in one of your other podcasts if Pavel still works out. I have no idea his current status but you can clearly see he was in great shape back in those days. I really appreciate your perspective and willingness to always learn from others both as an athlete and a coach. God bless.

I remember getting my hands on my first kettlebells 2 x 8kg (I wanted a 16kg but it was the first covid lockdown. All KBs sold out everywhere. I bought them from a friend) and watching Enter The Kettlebell carefully. For a long time all did was double kettlebell swings. 8kg was too light for other exercises :) Then I got a 16kg and watched a lot of Mark Wildman. Now I have a 16, 20 and a 24kg KB. I wish I discovered them sooner. I did body building for most of my life. And I find kettlebells much better for the body and health. I consider kettlebells to be the "yoga of resistance training"

After 3 month of Simple & Sinister recently started that Rite of Passage program from Enter the Kettlebell (planning to train like in that article "Things Are Going So Well, Help Me Screw It Up Part II" by Dan John), but with that new StrongFirst technique. Very demanding program because of this numerous ladders, but really effective.

Great video! And now you probably should react to "Return of the kettlebell" video wih Pavel and another comrade, where they show double clean, push press, clean& press, clean & jerk etc. Curious about your opinion.

It's good to see how he does TGU. I have so many issues with the strict lunge portion of getting up. Maybe I can actually progress. I like your method, too. Reverse lunges have always been difficult but the two variations are better and safer, I think. Great video.

Regarding the overhead press methods... I have been recently (last few months) doing a "straight" OHP when doing 1 handed presses and doing a scaption press (as Pavel teaches) when working my double KBs. Prior to this I was only doing scaption presses. I was experimenting at some point and realized that my "straight" presses were weaker than my scaption presses. So, I've integrated both methods into my training regimen. Prior to doing this I was experiencing some chronic front deltoid/rotator cuff pain (while only doing scaption presses). Incidentally, after integrating the "straight" press into my training the pain has resolved and my shoulders feel much more "secure". I know you mentioned that scaption presses work "more" of the shoulder, but based on my experience I question whether scaption press alone is adequate as a "total" shoulder training exercise. Just my thoughts. Edit: It's also possible that a scaption press alone was creating unnecessary stress on my front delt/rotator cuff. So the straight press allowed for a safer range of motion, strengthened the front delt/rotator cuff more effectively or provided a better "rest" for those areas.

What do you think about the program itself ? I mean the rite of passage with C+P three days a week(light,medium,heavy day) combined with Light snatches, medium swings and heavy swings. Have been searching but can not find too many reviews about the program.

@lebe-stark Жыл бұрын

Swing, Clean & Press and Snatch combined in one workout is a powerhouse of a formula. Wether light, heavy or moderate doesn‘t matter. - Gregory

The press that Pavel demonstrates is pretty much an arnold press right? The hand placement and the movement arc feels really similar.

I've been wanting to watch all of Pavel's videos and learn from it, no matter how outdated some information and techniques are in there (still a good idea to look to the past to help you learn better for the future), but I couldn't get past the cringiness. thanks for this video, I think it may have warmed me up to Pavel's way of marketing kettlebells.

@MrWolf__ 2 жыл бұрын

I was just thinking about this. Not seen the video in a while now... And I am sure pavel mentioned while doing the get up. It does not matter how you get or was it get down but then simple but sinister it's completely definitely.. Correct me if I, m wrong. I still do the pump before my kettlebell workouts tho. And some time the door squats. And like he says I am always aware as I have bunnies... 😂
