Not everybody loves kettlebells: “This book has fooled many unknowing Americans”

Here’s a new review of Pavel’s Enter the Kettlebell! Apparently the kettlebell is now dying out in Europe and only the foolish Americans are still being conned by this fad:

Desagrad vel! Rated 3 out of 10

I have been a high level trainer with gymnasium equipment for many years now. I had hoped this kettle bell phase started by this Russian man would subside by now. It has died a death in Europe where it bearly started at all, because we understand the value and appreciate true scientific training.

This book has fooled many unknowing Americans into thinking that kettle bells are good for stregth. Kettle bells are just no good because there weight cannot be changed in enough incriments. Resultingly, many of the people who started to use these kettle bells are still using the same kettle bell many years later.

This system is also quite dangerous as presented in this book. The constant strain on your back from all these snatches will wear down the spine, and the way of pressing shown is in danger of irritating of even dislocating the thumb. But for other exercises and free weights this is not true. The kettle bell may even hit your face and break your nose or teeth, not to mention crash up your place of abode. So I give the ideas three becasue they are dangerous and older fashioned, and I will also say that the true writing in this book is huge so that the book itself is massively over priced as sold by this American company. The book is less that twenty page long when shown in true.

I also have been told that this company will not post negative or honest critiques of their products will not be posted. I have downloaded my criticism and many of my colleagues know that I intened to post, so if it does not appear the truth will be revealed on line for all to see.
