We recently got the chance to preview Scott Shetler's new book, Kettlebells for Sport, Strength and Fitness.

Scott owns the Atlanta Barbell & Kettlebell Club and Extreme Conditioning & Fitness.

We've been unhappy with the quality of self-produced kettlebell books. Scott delivered one hell of a surprise. The book is great!

On first glance, you'd think it's too thin to contain much info... and you'd be wrong. Scott really did a great job introducing the history of kettlebell lifting and its application to powerlifters, football players, and those needing power and strength.

There are lots of pictures describing the primary kettlebell drills (Scott tends towards the competition style of lifting from the Valery Federenko camp) and well written instructions.

The book concludes with several solid training programs to remove all the guesswork.

Our favorite part of this book is the fact that there is only 1 page of advertising for other products. At least a third of most other kettlebell books on the market are filled with marketing fluff. Not so with Scott This is a superb addition to the library or coffee table of any serious kettlebell enthusiast.
