To stalk with easy strides, alert, supremely confident and utterly relaxed? Able--in a split second--to surge into action? To have blazing speed, ferocious strength and appalling power? Would you like to dominate in a crisis? Be in total control? End the threat--fast and furious? If you want to survive in SWAT, or in any life-or-death situation, you better be ready. Soviet Special Forces Conditioner, Pavel Tsatsouline, transformed his crack Spetznaz troops into lethal beasts. Pavel's secret? A brutally effective cocktail of cutting-edge science and ancient martial arts. When one second can mean the difference between life and death, it's no time to screw around with half-assed theories and so-so workouts. You gotta put up, or die. If it don't work, you're history. A SWAT team operative needs life-saving speed and power. And not just for him and his mates. If he's too slow or too weak, innocent people may die. How would you like to have that on your conscience? No surprise, then, to find the SWAT teams beating the door down to learn Pavel's Russian combat-training secrets. In an info-packed barrage, Pavel recently rocked the elite Texas SWAT units into another dimension of combat-readiness. Said Jeff Martone, "Pavel taught us in one day what it took me ten years to learn from my Kung Fu Master. Unbelievable!" Fortunately for you, the Texas SWAT teams allowed Dragon Door Publications to film the entire by-invitation-only training. We got it all--every last tip and secret. Every darn thing that could make a difference to your combat fitness. Now, for the first time ever, you can get what the elite SWAT teams got--a complete program to supercharge your strength and power--and make you fighting fit. What does it take to survive and peak-perform as a SWAT team operative? Read on and see what you'll get, when you order Rapid Response--The SWAT Strength & Conditioning Program by Pavel Tsatsouline: Volume One: The Fundamentals of Combat-Effective Strength Training * Get a fail-safe formula for instant gains in arm strength. * Discover how to be super-strong, yet light as a cat. * Develop a jackhammer punch--and flatten your opponent's NO ENTRY sign with one killer swipe. * Discover the secrets of blasting more firepower into your muscles. * Get a dominant performance edge by mastering the techniques of high-tension training. * Learn the fighting stance that turns you into an unbudgeable ten-ton rock. * Amplify your strength gains when you learn the true secrets of leverage. * How to break the strength-barrier with crushing, squeezing and bracing. * Protect yourself, avoid injury with these special tips on body mechanics. * Reduce shoulder rips and tears by knowing how to CHASE THE CIRCLE. A SWAT body needs to leap, climb and run with amazing speed. A SWAT body must erupt with explosive force. You simply cannot afford to be a stack of blubber, or stiff, or slow, or less than hellaciously strong and make it safely in the world of SWAT. Stay as you are--and the wife will be taking out extra insurance on you--because she knows she's gonna collect! In Volume One you'll discover how to re-engineer yourself into panther-like strength. You'll own the strongest and lightest body you possibly can. (The only reason to be a bodybuilder in SWAT is if you're looking to commit suicide--but have some class, man, your death wish may take others with you. If you have to puff yourself up with meaningless meat, quit SWAT while you still have a head.) The bigger you are, the more you have to lug. The more you have to lug, the more likely you'll hurtle to your death. Or be slow to respond when the gunman swivels a bead on you. AND TOO SLOW CAN MEAN DEAD SLOW! Apply what Pavel teaches on Volume One and experience a 30 to 50% increase in your strength within minutes! Don't believe it? You'll see actual SWAT team members getting those gains right on tape.

Discover how to re-train your nervous system to recruit more strength from the muscle you already have. Right now, you're like a V8 operating on only two cylinders. Learn what it takes to get all eight cylinders firing together--and watch your strength explode. When gym-rats cheat on their lifts, they're ripping themselves off. When a SWAT officer cheats on his strength technique, he could be endangering lives. Pavel shows you how to cut out being a cheater (read "disaster waiting-to-happen") and make the switch to cheerleader. Your muscles--and your mates--will love you for it. (Feel free to substitute fatigues and tank tops for the pom-poms and frilly skirts.)
