Summary: All you need to know about effective ab training
Comment: Like Pavel's other books, this one is short, easy to read, and straight to the point. The value of the information far exceeds the price; I've read many other books on abdominal training, none of which has information of comparable value. The most effective exercises for the abdominals, obliques, and other muscles of the torso have been collected here and explained, along with the principles of effective ab training. He explains why "going for the burn" with endless sets of ineffective crunches is a waste of time, and what works better. I thought my abs were in pretty good shape from doing some other well-regarded programs, such as Health for Life's Legendary Abs, but Pavel's program is more effective.
Many of these exercises are not covered in other sources in much detail; you'll have to dig pretty deep to find much on Full Contact Twists, Janda situps, why squeezing an object between your knees magnifies the effectiveness of abdominal training, and a number of other gems. The breathing exercises are rarely covered in most ab training books, despite their usefulness.
The author does not "make" you buy his device, either; he simply explains why it is an effective way to do Janda situps, an amazingly demanding and effective exercise that truly isolates the abs, which crunches purport to do but can't. Having done Janda situps with a partner and with a Pavelizer, I can say that the Pavelizer is more effective; it doesn't try to help you, as a partner often does.
Elite powerlifters and other strength athletes have high praise for Pavel's program, because it works. Ignore the whiners and buy it if you want to learn real ab training.

Summary: Very clearly written & illustrated
Comment: 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: Great, But...
Comment: As a college student I don't have alot of money. His product the Ab Pavelizer seems like a good invention, but costs a lot of money. The Janda situps, that Pavel recommends, is a great strength builder, but you have to have the contraption or a partner.
However, he has some other strength builders, and his approach to excercise is refreshing. Well written and easy to understand, Pavel's book is worth the money.
