Well, I think the praise has to be shared between Geoff Neupert and Brett Jones because I got hints of this back when running Geoff's C&P programs and the DFSQ from his KB Burns series, but nevertheless:
Although I had every intention of running S&S alongside Iron Cardio, things didn't work out...
Anybody see this yet? Aleks Salkin SFG II wrote it and Pavel Macek did the foreword. He’s got some really handy drills that make taming the different arc in the ballistic lifts a lot easier and faster.

As I practice a higher volume of heavier cleans lately I have more callusing. For years I've been swinging and cleaning with the handle at mid-hand and ignoring the calluses. Hand care is starting to look like more of a concern. I've read that the proper swing grip is far closer to the finger...
Hi.
I am currently practicing performing a right-handed and left-handed clean with a 12kg kettle-bell.
I would appreciate a brief review and comment on my form as posted in below videos.
I am still in "practice" phase, and I assume I will need many reps over months to get it right.
Random...
Hi.
I am currently practicing the kettle-bell clean. I practice with a 12kg and 16kg.
However, I must eventually transition to performing the double clean.
However, my gym does not have enough kettle-bells. It only has the following weights.
2x of 10kg
1x of 12kg
1x of 14kg
1x of 16kg
1x of...
Geoff Neupert has often written about the amazing benefits of spending significant time with the LCCJ, but few do. I have spent little time with it, but would like to commit more to it in the future.
For those of you who have spent significant time with single or double LCCJs what has been...
Good day, Strongfirst men and women!
I am requesting technique review.
In the link below, there are three videos of me doing some exercises. If you are willing, I would appreciate review and feedback.
For context:
I'm 5'8", 145 lbs
The deadlift was conducted at 295 lbs after a few sets of...
Really trying to work on getting into clean and jerks, primarily with a single kettlebell right now. I am looking for GPP.
I have looked at Hec G's programs for doubles, but I want to keep it to single bell. I know there's also a program Jon Engum put on here for martial conditioning. The one...
Hi all,
I’ve been having some trouble with my shoulders recently and experiencing some pain when bells are overhead (I’ve noticed that hanging has actually helped alleviate a lot of the pain - so thank you SF for the recent article), which has gotten me thinking if it would be sustainable to do...
Ive been doing a lot of snatches lately and really like the conditioning and power results. Specifically I’ve been following the A+A but with snatches.
Once I’ve finished the A+A plan i was thinking to add in some clean and jerks with one bell (I read a great article on martial conditioning)...
Beyond things like "Simple", "Solid", "Sinister", "Beast Tamer", "Iron Maiden", and the SFG I & II technique standards, are there any more formalized strength standards for kettlebell exercises?
What comes to mind for me is something like these: Weightlifting Performance Standards for the...
Hello all, I’m familiar with kettlebells, as I had a class in college that spent a bit of time with them. Since then, I’ve been doing some work with them and feel that my swings and get ups are in good form. Once I move on to cleans and snatches, I’m not too sure. I’m uploading a video to show...
Hello Everybody,
I wanted to start a thread on some clean and press or military press tips. Something that has helped me was kicking my hip over a little to get under the bell. Something else was remembering that the clean sets the tone for the press. If your clean is messy, you can expect...
I did the total tension complex many times: I think it's a very good training.
I thought I'd change the workout by taking the proposed exercises:
CLEAN
PRESS
SQUAT
RENEGADE
EMOM: 30 minutes
KETTLEBELL: snatch test size (2)
1st round:
1 CLEAN
1PRESS
1 SQUAT
1 RENEGADE
2nd round:
2 CLEAN
2...
I've been trying to decrease the amount of impact from the kettlebell in the rack position of the clean. It doesn't hurt, but when I compare my training footage to official StrongFirst videos or youtube videos of StrongFirst instructors I can tell there is a difference. I've tried practicing the...
