Discover How to Reinforce Your Body—and Snap Back from the Toughest Challenge with Deceptive Ease and Strength DVD 36 minutes Resilient Advanced Kettlebell Drills and Insider Secrets for Playing Harder & Hurting by Pavel Ordering Information Reader reviews of: Resilient Average Rating: 9.6 in 8 reviews How to Become the Man Without a Weakness Life has a habit of body-slamming us when we least expect it. And the more active we are, the more likely we're gonna be wrenched, tossed, torn, torqued, twisted, scrunched, hammered and generally whacked around. Hit your forties—let alone fifties—and you can be reduced to a tangled mess of injuries and performance-crimping tensions. You get sidelined! You can't do what you want to do anymore. People don't want you on their team anymore. You can't compete anymore. You're...let's face it…washed up, as a card-carrying member of the active elite. As a man who trained the elite Soviet Special Forces in how to be physically durable as hell… As a man sought out by hardcore US agencies and services to provide the same secrets for physical superiority… As a man who spearheaded the new Russian Kettlebell invasion… Pavel knows what it takes—personally and professionally—to remove crucial flaws and weaknesses from your body armor—so you can bounce back, time and time again, from the toughest challenge life throws at you. A winner isn't someone who never falls down, never gets knocked down…a winner is that nightmare creature who keeps getting up and getting up, keeps coming back, no matter what you fling at them. It's the winner's edge. It's called RESILIENCE. It's called "don't know how to spell quit." So, in this specialized program, Pavel's put together 19 of his favorite drills for restoring and reinforcing your body's "rebound strength." Pavel's concentrated on the weak links—the knees, the elbows, the shoulders, the spine, the neck—and shows you how to change a liability-waiting-to-happen into a strength—weapon-of-choice. Discover what it really means to be RESILIENT. Add years of wiry, tensile, pliant strength back into your life—and hurt a whole lot less while you're doing it.
