"Congratulations on your book Beyond
Crunches. I found several of the insights and expressions to be very interesting and
thought provoking (The Ab Pavelizer is just one). I will be implementing some of them into
my own abdominal workout schedules."
-Dennis B. Weiss, author of
Mass!, Raw Muscle & Anabolic Muscle Mass
"Expect to find some of the most grueling
stomach-busters that you have ever experienced-Tsatsouline advocates low-repetition
intensity over high-repetition "burn" exercises, and introduces us to the Ab
Pavelizer, a machine of his own invention that allows for perfect sit-ups. Beyond Crunches
has many new and challenging drills, making this a great manual for anyone who needs some
variety in their workout routine. Included is the Flag, Bruce Lee's favorite abdominal
exercise."

"As someone who has been crippled twice by
injuries to my spine and had to rebuild my body from scratch twice, I have two things to
say: 1) serious abdominal conditioning is *mandatory* for anyone with back pain and anyone
who intends to push their body in sport or martial arts and 2) Pavel's book is, by far,
the best book I've seen on this vitally important and neglected subject."
-Ken McCarthy, New York
"This book took me from having a back that
everyone told me was too weak to ever do heavy lifting and that was in almost constant
pain to no back pain and new PR's in the deadlift and Squat. Pavel's ab exercises are the
stuff champions are made of. Clear, concise directions and radical new ideas make this
book well worth the money spent. And it's for every trainee with a desire to succeed. I've
heard that you must already be very advanced to begin the exercises in this book, but I
recently began training my 50 year old father-in-law using these techniques and after
about a month he was doing Janda situps with the best of them. Not to mention he no longer
complains of back pain and has better posture. Get this book and throw out all of your
others on abs!"
-Chris Dudzik, Hollister, CA
"Pavel delivers once again! This book details
the mechanics of abdominal and oblique development in an easy to understand, user-friendly
format. Learn to either build up your midsection, tone it up, get a prominent six-pack,
and/or increase your punching and throwing power by learning to integrate your powerful
midsection! There is one particular exercise that I found to be super productive in adding
to punching power, and this is the only book that has it... It is extremely simple and
easy to understand. Pavel explains how to protect your spine and perform the
"perfect" situp. All in all a great book by a great author, definitely a
must-have for any fighter and lifter. My punching power and deadlifting strength went up
very quickly on this program and I am very pleased."
- Sean Williams, Long Beach, NY
"I've bought the TV advertised training
devices and a bundle of ab books-tried them all. But, doing the routines Pavel Tsatsouline
presents in this book is the way I have achieved solid abs! Pavel offers a great deal of
knowledge in an easy to digest manner. His writing, while colloquial, is founded in
research and deep understanding of physiology and kinesthetics. I highly recommend this
book."
- Linda Crawford, Minneapolis, MN
