Just looked at for an hour or so.
If you haven't been to the RKC it's a definite buy. Lot's of the best form "tips" are all there for each lift. Also good stuff off the forum. So even if you have the RKC book, there's way more in terms of form and problem spotting here.
It's "limited" in terms of drills, which I think is good and on purpose. It's supposed to be how to do swing, snatch, clean, press and TGU right. Pretty much like the cert. There's plenty of other resources for everything else.
Lot's of program design stuff. I had an oppurtunity to put my 2 cents in on this when Pavel was writing it and I think it's really good for the guy training w/o a trainer. High rep ballistics and low rep grinds, some dice throwing ideas, intensity cycling etc...
There's an RKC "Rite of Passage" 200 snatches with 24kg in 10 minutes and press the KB closest to 1/2 BW w/ both arms, and how to train for it. Seems like a pretty good combo to me.
I would say it's not as good as BBB, but that's no insult. BBB to me is just unbelievalbly loaded. This is a more like a much better RKC manual. If someone's using mostly KBs to train I don't see how you don't buy it. If you're getting into KBs it's way better then the RKC book and I'd have to assume the DVD is way better.
Does someone like me "learn" anything from it, no, maybe a reminder or two. But for someone who has hasn't been to any seminars or the RKC there's good stuff.
