5 secrets from Pavel Tsatsouline and Jim Wendler to make you stronger

These two are titans of strength training which you will find all over the internet with different pieces of advice. While Pavel takes a functional approach to strength using kettlebells as his main tool of punishment, Jim is a big fan of the compound lifts as he was a powerlifter and football player. When you combine Pavel’s ideas for your warm up with the Wendler 531 program I personally think you get a very nice well-rounded program which makes you a better athlete.
