Master the Secrets of The Super-Strong Using Bodyweight Exercises Only
The Graduate Course In Instant Strength Gains
"I went from 5 to 10 pullups in one week."
"I could do one wobbly one-legged squat
[Two weeks later] I did 5 clean, butt-to-ground pistols."
"Last night I did 15 one-arm pushups with each arm.
Two months ago I couldnt do one complete rep."
Have you noticedthe greater a mans 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 timewhen your body is your only tool.

Rating:  - Enter Warriors Only Circle
For those of you who read my hat goes off to you. For those of you who actually apply what you read are priceless actions from noble spirits. Especially Fitness Training books. The Naked Warrior is a book for True Warriors not you people who thought that they could get results by just reading. Buying a book or training equipment and not applying them DOES NOT produce results to write a review. (Enter poor reviews here) You actually have to train to get those results. This book is by far second to ... Read More
Rating:  - Awful presentation on what is a decent strengthbuilding program
As in most of Pavel's books, there is a lot of empty space, generalities and relatively useless motivational writing (comrade). There is no real workout outlined here, no routine template to go by.
Furthermore, I question the safety of the 'pistols' one legged squat, regardless of one's age (and definitely not for those of us over 50!). Be especially careful of his advocating holding one's breath during the lift or the ValSalva technique! This could dangerously raise your blood pressure ... Read More
Rating:  - KEEP YOUR MONEY
Although a good treatise on one arm pushups and one leg squats, this "book" is really nothing more than a "pamphlet" with VERY big pictures and VERY big letters. Dowse this lack of content with some "secret Soviet Spetznaz" hoo-ha and you have an instant hit for the low, low price of.......well you get the picture. Oh, and if that is not enough hoo-ha, there are plenty of pages dedicated to all of the other "secret soviet" programs that Pavel peddles for ridiculous amounts of money. Unless you are simply ...

Rating: - Bodyweight tension for limbs. None for the spine.
I review Pavel's book with my irresistible personal prejudice that stems from resenting unreal mentoring. Yet, Pavel proved himself by appealing to a majority of people who have been left out of the athletic world by virtue of the commercially motivated health clubs. Pavel benefits from the great opportunity of having a vast majority of customers hungry for motivation and challenge.
Many people have found a niche in Pavel's Kettlebell contests and exercises that enhance the upper body. It would ... Read More
Rating: - Strength as a Skill
These great body exercises will get you into shape in no time. Lose the exercise equipment and learn how to use your own body to build your strength.
