"How Pavel and John Twisted the Arm of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion Steve Maxwell Until He Finally, Reluctantly, Submitted and Agreed to Share His Formerly-Private and Unyieldingly-Secret Workout Regimes for TOP DOG, LORD-OF-THE-MAT, ALWAYS-WIN Strength and Endurance--Using the Astonishing Leverage and Dynamic, Ballistic Power of Russian Kettlebells" Stephen Maxwell's Cruel and Unusual Kettlebell Exercises for Real Men Video/DVD 35 minutes Stephen Maxwell's Cruel and Unusual Kettlebell Exercises for Real Men Three brief but incredibly intense kettlebell routines By Stephen Maxwell Hey, you don't get to be a two-time world champ wrestler and supreme athlete by sitting on your duff all day and fantasizing your way to fitness. Particularly if your name is Steve Maxwell. When you look up "dedicated" in the dictionary, you'll find yourself staring at a picture of Steve. The man is constantly, constantly pushing his envelope--striving for the ultimate physical edge, the honed, rugged, wild-animal, don't-mess-with-me body that screams champion from every cell. When Steve heard about Pavel's Evil Russian Kettlebells he leapt at them like a starving leopard. Holy Gamole! His competitors could be heard running for the hills while they still had time. And his home town has never been the same since. After word got out that Steve's cutting-edge Maxercise studio was generating some blistering new fitness stories, it wasn't long before The Philadelphia Enquirer did a feature on Steve and the poor fella can barely sleep for the barrage of eager phone calls. But back to my story. You see, Steve has a fatal flaw. He's modest. He just doesn't appreciate what a goldmine he has to offer the world. Here's a man who has dedicated his life to the Holy Grail of developing the perfect fitness-workout. And has two world championships in a brutal, brutal art to prove it. Would ya think there'd be a few people out there who'd want what Steve has? I'd say! And so did the Evil One. So, at the Arnold Classic, Pavel and I sat down to dinner and breakfast and dinner with Steve and drubbed him into agreeing to put his hard-won secrets onto tape. Phew! Glad it didn't get physical! Fortunately for all of us, the patented Anglo-Russian gentlemen's gang-tackle worked. We got Steve convinced. Those of you who already have Pavel's Russian Kettlebell Challenge will appreciate and love the new routines and startlingly-intense techniques that Steve has welded together. In fact, Steve wowed Pavel and all the participants at the Russian Kettlebell Certification Workshop with these same workouts. Cruel and unusual is definitely the by-word! Steve and his awesome wife D.C. (also a two-time world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) put this video together at their studio, Maxercise. They've done a nice, clean job of presenting the workouts in easy-to-follow fashion, with flashes of classic humor and a driving pace. Here's the champions' own description of what you'll get: "Three brief but incredibly intense kettlebell routines that puts America square in the middle of the Russian map of kettlebell lifting! Each workout is well rounded, blending elements of kettlebell and bodyweight exercises with the distinctive style that has established Steve Maxwell as one of today's most popular workout constructionists. Workout One: This workout builds strength, flexibility and endurance. Steve starts with core kettlebell movements and complements them with key bodyweight resistant exercises to create the kind of workout that can transform a competitor into a champion. Workout Two: This workout is the stuff of warriors with movements like the Gladiator and the Turkish Get-up. Master this routine and your body will be prepared to march to any battlefield and then explode into battle. Workout Three: This routine begins with Kettlebell Circles and ends with Kettlebell Swings, but the trick is making it through the exercises in between. If you do, you get dessert….Leg Raises, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu style. Special Bonus Workout for survivors; Steve Maxwell's Killer Cardio Kettlebell Snatches for Power/Endurance."

Rated 10 out of 10 I really enjoy this DVD. As a hard style kettlebell trainer I'm finding these movements especially useful. They really help to "balance" my practice. For the older lifter like me this practice is a great and I think necessary addition to one's daily routine. They help to counter the little aches and pains from a lifetime of hard training. As one gets older, joint and organ health is increassingly important. This DVD is just the ticket. It's fun and energizing. And It's good for you! Just do it. Chris L - Aurora, CO. USA This is awesome Rated 10 out of 10 This technique is awesome; I have never felt so great in such a short period of time by applying just one set of joint exercise from this magnificent manual. In a matter of two weeks an annoying sharp pain on my spine has disappeared almost entirely. Thank you very much for providing support and a complete variety of techniques for pain sufferers. I will certainly share this type of exercises with my friends and family. Gabriel Cruz - New York
