Ok. Got this book in a lot of books I purchased off Ebay. Thumbed through it, and wasn't really impressed. Reading another thread on here earlier where someone asked advice on recommended reading, and this was a book suggested by someone. I decided to check it out again, and am intrigued by the theories inside. Anyone use this training method?? Any success?

Pavel Tsatsouline is on par with Matt Furey.

Much of what is stated in “Power to the people” falls into one or more of the following categories:

* Obvious.

* Exagerrated.

* Rehashed old school.

* Complete bullfuckenmonkeyshit!

I didn't know Pavel was nearly as despised at Furey. I guess Matt's just more obnoxious and easier to mock.

I cant agree that Pavel is on the same level as Furey, thats just not true.

I was wondering if there was going to be the comparison to Furey. The back of the book is loaded with other "programs".

I don't know, man, I've been wondering that myself, but too insecure to say anything, since it seemed he was so highly regarded here, and I know very little about him.

But his kettlebell book is good, right, Entropy?

What resource do you guys who work out with KB's use to structure your program?

[rickdog]

I have used KB's on occasion and I actually used the programs from "Power to the People". I really never thought of him on the same level as Matt before either but i'm starting to wonder.

Entropy, can you explain why you have Pavel on the same level as Furey, in more depth please.

I don't think that comparision is fair since Pavel hasn't unleashed his theory of gorilla-like strength yet.

It is a beginner book and I would rather have someone reading that then muscle and fitness and it has some interesting things in it. Since it is a beginner book, i think being obvious and rehashing old school thinking is expected. It isn't obvious to some beginners. The book doesn't have much information in it per page and it has a lot of ads and costs a lot, so that is the Matt Furey comparision. Urban's workout has some things in common with it. I got it for free so I don't mind. Send me a PM if you want ot know where to buy it for really cheap ;) .

Pavel is a gimmick-monkey for sure (hahah, get it? god I am sooo witty) but he's not as bad as Furrey. The only guy as bad as Matt, is John Wood with his "functional handstength".

Beware all leters/articles that start with "dear friend" or "dear disgusting capitalist pig....I mean comrade"

[Flounder]

Thanks for the input guys. Maybe I'll try the Power to the People program for a while. I'm a beginner, and need to build some core strength, and I'll see how that goes.
