Books by Pavel Tsatsouline
“Tsatsouline, a former fitness instructor for the Soviet Special Forces, immigrated to the United States in the 1990s. He is largely responsible for popularizing the kettlebell, a piece of strength training equipment that basically looks like a round iron purse with a short strap that’s also made of iron. This book gives a simple, sophisticated, direct, and useful introduction to kettlebell training, which is an especially accessible type of strength training, especially for people who want to train at home. This whole book is built around a minimalist program of two moves, the kettlebell swing, and the get-up. The writing is witty and engaging, with serious concern for safety, conveying the fine points of proper exercise form with impeccable descriptions and lots of photos.” Read more...

In this conversation, he reflects on that journey and introduces five books that illuminate strength and guide us on how to become stronger.
