Book Reviews of The Naked Warrior

Book Review: A TON of Good Information
Summary: 5 Stars

Pavel's naked warrior is an absolute goldmine of information. Some people may be disappointed that the book does not cover dozens or hundreds of different exercises. Pavel's book covers only 2 exercises: the one-handed pushup and the one-legged squat. However, the other information surrounding it is absolutely golden.

I'm a very inquisitive and analytical person. I like to know why I'm doing what I'm doing. If I don't understand why, I won't do it. Pavel tells you WHAT to do, and WHY it works.

His idea of greasing the groove alone should be worth triple the price of this book. To give you an idea, I implemented greasing the groove for pushups, and went from being able to do only about 35 up to 71 in a matter of 4 weeks. I implemented greasing the groove with deadlifts, and went from a 1RM of 280 up to 325 in about 6 weeks.

I can not say enough good things about this book.

Summary of The Naked Warrior

Master the Secrets of The Super-Strong Using Bodyweight Exercises Only

The Graduate Course In Instant Strength Gains

"I went from 5 to 10 pullups in one week."

"I could do one wobbly one-legged squat.
[Two weeks later] I did 5 clean, butt-to-ground pistols."

"Last night I did 15 one-arm pushups with each arm.
Two months ago I couldn't do one complete rep."

Have you noticed-the greater a man's skill, the more he achieves with less? And the skill of strength is no exception. From the ancient days of Greek wrestling, to the jealously guarded secrets of Chinese Kung Fu masters, to the hard men of modern spec ops, warriors and allied strongmen have developed an amazing array of skills for generating inhuman strength.

But these skills have been scattered far and wide, held closely secret, or communicated in a piecemeal fashion that has left most of us frustrated and far from reaching our true strength potential.

Now, for the first time, Russian strength expert and former Spetsnaz instructor Pavel has gathered many of these devastating techniques into one highly teachable skill set. In The Naked Warrior Pavel reveals exactly what it takes to be super-strong in minimum time-when your body is your only tool.
