"Pavel is the leading proponent of applied flexibility training for bodybuilding
and strength athletics at work in the field today. His ideas are dynamic and
fresh, he razes the sacred temples and shows the serious-minded fitness devotee
another avenue of improvement. Real knowledge for real people interested in
real progress."
“The foremost authority, critic, and writer in the emerging “science of
flexibility” is a Russian physiologist, Pavel Tsatsouline. His book
Beyond
Stretching
is without question the definitive text on the subject. It is MUST
READING for every athlete…YOU HAVE TO GET A COPY OF IT!”
"Pavel has great ideas on flexibility and strength exercises. We agree on all
aspects of flexibility."
"As an athlete, a coach, and a strength trainer who has personally done it all in
the sports world from martial arts to the NFL, I have always experimented on me
first when I read something as radical as
Beyond Stretching.
When I went into
my first, full-to-the-floor splits in ten years, after just three weeks, I realized why
this Russian was so cocky. It’s because he is so damned right"
"Here are a book and video that present a revolutionary Russian system of
stretching that's easy to do and get results fast.
I wrote in my review of Pavel Tsatsouline's book
Power to the People!: Russian
Strength Training Secrets for Every American
that Pavel's methods get results
while violating many of the "truths" that have been held as sacred for so long in
the world of strength development.
In
Beyond Stretching: Russian Flexibility Breakthroughs,
he again offers result-
producing methods, this time for increasing flexibility, while again violating what
has been held as truths ever since you were in grade school gym class.
Pavel's writing style is no nonsense, efficient and quite often funny. If you are
looking to be coddled, you won't get it from him. He tells you when something is
tough and then he tells you to do it any way. The beauty of it is when you do
what he says, you will begin seeing progress in a couple of weeks.
I have been training in the martial arts for nearly 36 years and, as such, stretching
exercises have been part of my regular routine. As a result, I'm more flexible than
the average guy. After reading this book and viewing the video, I tried four of
Pavel's exercises. Three weeks later, my flexibility had improved by about 20
percent. At this rate, I figure I'll be able to scratch my head with my big toe in a
couple more months.
"This is the only really interesting book on stretching I've encountered.
Pavel's ideas are radical, but sensible if you think them through and apply
them carefully.
His joint mobility drills alone are worth the price. Much of this book is geared
towards the elite athlete who is already far along the learning curve.
Nevertheless, as a reasonably in shape middle-aged guy with increasingly creaky
joints, I found this book to be an invaluable resource. Buy the book and the
video. You'll get your money's worth."
"Pavel's stretching protocol should be considered the first, last, and only choice
for athletes, full-contact fighters, and sedentary folks alike for achieving
maximum results in minimal time. This system actually teaches you how to reset
the neuro-muscular control of your muscles! No kidding, by following the
specialized methods in this book, even an untrained, middle aged man can
achieve FULL SPLITS in less than half a year... fighters will learn specialized
kicking drills and "dynamic flexibility" drills that greatly improve the velocity
and destructive power of your kicks while at the same time protecting the knee
ligaments from injury—even if you miss a full-power kick!
I am shocked and amazed at the quality of the results that his training methods
have produced for me. And in so little time! There is something here for
everyone, and I give this book (and all Pavel's books) my highest
recommendation. Truly, a masterpiece that belongs in every athlete's collection."
"This book is well written (even a little funny!) and has some great info about
stretching. It dispels a lot of classic stretching myths and gives some good solid
approaches to achieving better flexibility. It's helping me become more flexible a
lot faster than I was progressing using the "classical" approach. It's a must for
martial artists! Check it out."
"Lots of useful information on improving flexibility and avoiding injury. I like
Pavel's no-nonsense writing style. I got immediate benefits from reading it!"
