For optimal effect, please make sure to read both the following excerpt and article in an ominous I-must-break-you Russian accent: ...we refuse to chase our tails in pursuit of the next novelty, only to discard the tired yesterday’s fad. We are inspired by the ancient builders who built on a solid foundation and built to last. I envision a society of strong and proud people. Where every woman can do a pullup and every man can deadlift at least two times his bodyweight without a belt. Where strength is built not in pursuit of vanity but duty. Ancient Romans made exercise a legal requirement for all male citizens aged 17 to 60. I dream of a society where it is not a legal mandate but a moral imperative for all citizens, men and women, and way past 60. Where it is incredibly uncool to be weak. - Pavel Tsatsouline, the Russian strength coach who youll either thank or scold for reintroducing both the kettlebell and his unique Russian training philosophies into modern/western strength and conditioning.
