Bullet-Proof Abs : 2nd Edition of Beyond Crunches

Rating:
Summary: Very clearly written & illustrated
Review: This book includes a lot of unique & rare info. I particularly liked the info about breathing techniques to use with the exercises. Pavel includes a wide variety of techniques from various disciplines including yoga & martial arts, plus a lot of stregnth-training type exercises. I ended up buying the Pavelizer equipment he discusses in the book, and it is very effective. I also liked the fact that it does not strain my neck. As a belly dance teacher & performer, I'm obsessed with abs, and I've recommended this gem of a book to my students.

Summary: An Infomercial in a Book
Review: This book is just an advertisement for the Pavelizer, a piece of equipment designed to isolate the abs. I feel somewhat angry that I spent $... just to hear this guy try to sell me his "gizmo." He also spends a lot of time criticizing crunches, basically claiming that he has a corner on the market of scientific information, and telling you to ignore what the rest of the world says. He does cover some other "non-Pavelizer" exercises; but still, hardly a page goes by where he doesn't mention the need for his device. If you enjoy paying for infomercial books, then this is for you! Don't let the cover fool you though, despite the high price, the book is thin with cheap paper and bad black and white photos.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This is a great book it has many unique exercises that will harden up your body and make your core muscles much stronger. Some of the exercises are very hard in a good way. My stomach is stronger than when I done 65 situps in a minute

Summary: Great
Review: This is the best book on abdominal exercise ever. The results are great. Don't waste your time doing hundreds of crunches and situps. Why? Because you won't make many gains and you can seriously hurt your back. This is the safest, most effective way to get a six pack.

Summary: Not Worth the Price
Review: What a disappointment. There were no reviews to help me out when I bought this item. I discovered upon receiving it that I'd spent $25 on an instruction book for the very expensive piece of exercise equiptment. It's of no use to me.

Summary: Simply The Best
Review: Without a doubt, the best book on the market today, for training the Abdominals!!!!! While other trainers are "wannabes", Pavel is a "has been", as in been there, done that! The training methods he used for the Russian Special Forces are now available to the layperson. Bottom line, BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
