Summary: Good source of real information for
Comment: When I first saw the word 'Weider' among the reviews, I thought 'great, another scam and probably same useless and harmful routines one can find in muscle comics'. But my attitude changed immideately after I opened the book and saw a quote from Dr. Ken Leistner on the first page. If the author cites Doc. Ken, this can't be all bad - I thought. And indeed, after I read the book, I can say that this is a real source of no bs information on how to boild strength without adding bulk. I learned some new things which one can't find in books like 'Beyond Brawn' or 'Dinosaur Training'. Perhaps an advanced powerlifter, who reads Milo, already knows all that stuff, but I would definitely recommend this book to everyone from beginners to intermideates who are interested in increasing their strength. Now I don't think this is the best book for those who just want to bulk up quickly (read 'Super Squat' instead) because, Pavel you have to admit that the guys from spetsnaz had better than average genetics that allowed them to grow on a protocol that you offer for mass gain; I doubt that everyone will benefit greatly from that routine too. Also its highly debatable that the anabolic diet is the best for bulking. The other drawback of the book, in my opinion, is the lack of exact refferences. Often the author says: 'a study by Prof. Zaitsiorsky...' which is ok, though it would be more helpful to specify which study. In some cases it is just 'a Russian study shows..., Or a German study...' , which is obviously not enough. To summarize, I think this book is a must read for people like martial artists who want strength without muscle hypertrophy. If you are a bodybuilder ( whatever protocol you are using, HIT, HG, Superslow...) and you want to increase your strength and don't know anything about training neural pathways, you will benefit from this book too.

Summary: This book changed my life
Comment: Since ordering Pavel's Power to the People I have increased my deadlift by 150% and have doubled my snatch and power clean. My workouts now take less than 1/2 the time they did before. And now I'm strong! Best of all I've regained the strength in my leg that I had lost after a botched knee surgery and I can walk down steep hills without assistance. (Dr.s had told me I wouldn't get better). Power to the People will teach you how to gain true real-world strength to move your couch, heavy boxes, your piano, etc. in a 15-20 minute workout you can do at home. It also explains why most popular American workouts are useless or dangerous or both. I can't recommend PTP enough. Also try his Discussion site at Dragondoor.com, as well as his articles in MILO and Muscle Media, and of course his other books, especially the Russian Kettlebell Challenge.

Summary: If you want to look like the author, buy this book....
Comment: Information contained in this book - in general accurate - could fit in a max 10 pages. First of all, I ve never in my life read a book in any subject employing so much fluffy terminology: Hyperirradiation, Irradiation, Pre Tension; you are trying to figure out on some common sense info through loads of useless terminology and hints on "secret techniques" uncovered by the author. If I were in my teens - 15 years ago when I first started training and had virtually no experience / knowledge on such issues - this book would indeed have looked fantastic in my eyes. I advise you to read the review of the reader from Alamo (Apr-13th-04); if I were to write a fuller review I would have quoted every single sentence he writes!
The only good point about the book is that's it is fun to read; it's full of "smarties" of the like: if you think that technique is for sissies, I suggest you volunteer your opinion to the 300-pound temperamental Mr x (who uses the author's suggested technique), and see how much you live...
The last 30 pages - i.e. roughly 25% of the book - and many quotes within the rest of the text, invite the reader to buy other books by the same author. Well, no thanks, I ll pass.
