Product Description

Have you noticed - the greater a man's skill, the more he achieves with less? And the skill of strength is no exception. From the ancient days of Greek wrestling, to the jealously guarded secrets of Chinese Kung Fu masters, to the hard men of modern spec ops, warriors and allied strongmen have developed an amazing array of skills for generating inhuman strength. But these skills have been scattered far and wide, held closely secret, or communicated in a piecemeal fashion that has left most of us frustrated and far from reaching our true strength potential. Now, for the first time, Russian strength expert and former Spetsnaz instructor Pavel has gathered many of these devastating techniques into one highly teachable skill set.In "The Naked Warrior" Pavel reveals exactly what it takes to be super-strong in minimum time - when your body is your only tool. Gain more brute strength in days than you did in years of bodybuilding or calisthenics. Discover the martial secrets of instant power generation - for rapid surges in applied strength. Discover how to get a world-class powerlifter's quality workout - using your body only. Master the one-arm/one-leg push-up for crushing upper body force. Forge super-piston, never-quit legs with the Spetsnaz favourite "Pistol". Discover the magic of "GTG" - guaranteed the world's most effective strength routine. Be tow-truck strong - yet possess the rugged looks of a stripped-down racer. Get a harder, firmer, functionally-fitter body - and be as resilient as hell whatever you face. With no gym, no weights, no problem - get a dynamite strength workout at a moment's notice - wherever you are.

The book for anytime anywhere strength
Can you squat on one leg so that your hamstrings touch your calves?
Can you do a one arm push up? A one arm one leg push up?

Unless you ran away to the circus years ago, the answer for most people will be no. This book details three techniques (grease the groove, high tension and power breathing) that will allow you to achieve these feats. When strictly followed these techniques really work, and allow you to get a good strength workout any time, anyplace, anywhere, without having to ever venture into a gym.

The beauty of the book is that the techniques can be used on any exercise you choose. I have recently managed to perform a one arm chin up, by following the book's principles. There is no way I could have done this without reading this book. It is that simple!

I do agree that the book is overpriced for a paperback though, and the marketing at the end is annoying.

More hype than type
Crikey. You don't get a lot for your money these days do you?!

It's not a thick book, and with the huge typeface and pictures you don't get a lot of info. Not enough for the price he charges anyway.

The book really boils down to just two exercises: Pistols and One Arm pressups. Pistols BTW are one legged squats with the non working leg out in front - it's hard because of the balance more than anything.

He tells you do Grease The Groove - which means you do lots of small easy sets as often as possible so you don't get tired. This supposedly trains the nervous system without exhausting you.

He also covers somewhat bizarre ideas of gaining strength through tension in the body. It's hard to say just how effective this really is.

He advertises his other books quite a lot in the book which is annoying.

So why buy it? I'm not really sure. If you want a book on bodyweight exercises and condtioning then get one of Ross Enamait's books - much better value.

No More Excuses
Now you can train any time anywhere. This deals with gaining maximum strength using only bodyweight calisthenics. The principles involved can be adapted to all types of training. Most people join gyms and vow to get fit but life always seems to get in the way. Using this book will enable you to gain strength using no equipment. Untill now most people relate calisthenics to conditioning type training,no bad thing in itself but some people want more. There are two main exercises- 1 arm push ups & "pistols" - 1 leg squats. The thing with this book though is the wealth of knowledge on how to get maximum strength fast. Lots of technique and skill training knowledge crammed in this volume. Pavel has been accussed of writing books that are adverts for his products,that may be so, (don`t most other finess authors shamelessly plug their way,diet etc)but this is crammed with information that will get you stronger as quickly as possible.It`s a must for any training library.
