## Description

Total Training for the Advanced Minimalist You are strong or used to be. You take pride in your all-around physical development—but have precious little time for it. You are serving your country, raising a family, training for a sport… You have been around too long to be fooled by pop fitness "high intensity" fads. The Quick and the Dead is designed for an advanced minimalist like you. A culmination of five years of research and experimentation, it distills cutting-edge science to a straightforward protocol of only two basic exercises you mastered years ago: kettlebell swings and power pushups. Q&D delivers. A highly ranked pro boxer sums up its effects: “I had even greater speed and explosiveness and I was able to maintain this for the whole match… I had gas to sell.” A military special operator, on the wrong side of 40, reports: “a speed increase in all my powerlifts… pain relief in all of my injuries… an increase in my endurance while doing combatives… increased striking power…” Q&D can be a minimalist’s stand-alone total training regimen—or be plugged into any athlete’s regimen. It takes only 12–30min, two to three times per week. Additional benefits may include: Increased testosterone Decreased cortisol Improved heart rate variability Reduced body fat Improved soft tissue quality All this without getting "smoked"—because you need energy to fight, work, play, live.

Review: Good - Pavel is the best
Review: Great minimalist program for those who are already strong enough - First thing first. It has been written again and again, but it is good to repeat: this is not a book for for beginners. You need to be strong enough to benefit from Q&D. Sure, it is possible to do the exercises and follow the program even without a good strength baseline, but if you cannot high express power at every rep, it is useless. If you are not there yet, get Strong First. (kind of strong is enough, no need to be a powerlifter either). For those who are there, this is a great way to train power, with minimal time and minimum equipment. I followed the snatch program (under his former name Plan 044C) while I was staying at a hotel every week. I only needed a 24kg kettlebell and less than 20 minutes per session. I was able to keep training strength on other days. The result: an easy snatch test (100 reps in little more than 4 minutes, with a 20kg kettlebell, at 65kg bodyweight). Talk about an effective AND efficient program! The book is very well organized to provide the why, what and how. The science is digestible and references are provided for those who want to dig more. A great masterpiece from Pavel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Highly Recommend Training Protocol
*by A***Y on 3 February 2021*

I’ve been following the Q&D Protocol to the letter, 3 x per week, and have been doing this programme for 6 weeks now. I’m experienced in training and am a Professional Boxing & Kickboxing Coach, and have been a Full-Time Gym Owner for the past 30 years. This year I wanted a minimalist training schedule for myself, so after a few weeks of research and studying Pavel Tsatsouline methods in this book, I knew that this would be a good fit for me. I originally brought Pavel’s first book ‘Enter the Kettlebell’ back in 2004, so knew about him and his straight forward methods. What I really like is his no nonsense approach to training, because the fitness industry is full of fads & gadgets which promise a lot, but the Q&D book has a lot of interesting data which is backed up by results. This book isn’t for someone who is constantly looking for that next fad or trend, because you’ll soon get bored! I find my 3 x ‘Q&D’ Practice Sessions per week almost meditative and afterwards I feel recharged. As a Coach it’s very easy to put your own spin on someone else’s programme, and I’ve been guilty of doing this myself in the past, by tweaking sessions, however with this I’ve not done that, this timeI’ve treated Pavel’s words as gospel, and that he’s my Coach and I’ll do what he says to the letter! Results wise I’ve lost body fat, feel a lot stronger, and my dead hang Pull-up’s have increased when I did some the other day, and I don’t feel run down or beaten up by the end of the week, which is usually the case when I’m following a strict Training Programme. As a older athlete, I’m turning 50 in a few weeks, the ‘Q&D’ Protocol is really good, I’ve had over 100 Competitive Kickboxing & Boxing Bouts, Ran Marathons, Ultra Marathons, Done numerous Extreme Mountain/Fell Running Events, Triathlons, and many other fitness based events etc, and I’ve got a lot of wear & tear on my body from over 30 years of competing. But this programme is perfect and doesn’t add to that wear & tear, it’s all about quality over quantity, and I would recommend anyone to give it a go! Many thanks Pavel for such a great book & training schedule! Andre Daltrey.
