Ladies and gentlemen, Kettlebell Simple & Sinister, the training program that has changed the lives of thousands of people around the world, is finally available as an online course. Watch a top quality instructional video featuring StrongFirst Certified Instructors @Pavel Macek and @Justyna...

I don't know whether anyone is currently complying with this program. Started a new thread, because the previous one is closed. Here's the old Kettlebell - The Red Zone (Pavel, T. Program) and here's the program Bodybuilding Success Blueprint: The Red Zone - Weighing between this RZ program and...

I read this article; S&C Training for MMA With Simple & Sinister | StrongFirst I have a few questions: 1. What is an 'original strength reset'? I've not heard of that before 2. It mentions that He does Shadow Boxing in the fast and loose way. I know what fast & loose is (essentially...

Hi all, I wrote and shared this Pavel inspired piece recently at my blog: Random Acts of Distraction (Lessons from Pavel) Hope you enjoy it. Carl

Reason for Creating New Log A change in direction in my life, training and mental state. Age 27 Location South Jersey -- 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia Program Rite of Passage from Enter the Kettlebell Diet Food Combining similar to the Gracie Diet. I'll be logging this over in the...

Most of the coaches are saying about importance of warm up before training. From Pavel's old books I remember that he was not a big fan of doing warm up. I'm training everyday (GTG) so I do not do warm up and i feel good. In exercesises like weighted chin-ups risk of injury is much smaller than...

I’m currently following the Faleev 80/20 program, AS WRITTEN and at the risk of being one of those guys who completely changes a program and then proclaims the program not to work when the bastardized version fails, would it be possible to include hip thrusts into the program? If so, I was...

Hi everyone, I hope you are all managing to stay well and safe currently! This is my first post here and I have checked through lots of threads to see whether the question I am about to ask has been asked previously but could not see it. If it has please accept my apologies in advance, if you...

Hey guys, New to this all, just heard Pavel on JRE. I definitely want to implement this training. I am just sort of confused where to begin. I'd say I am an intermediate lifter. Does anyone of Excel or google sheet templates for the program? Please advise. Thanks

@Pavel Macek, We are the 3 guys from Israel from the Italy vicenza SFB course (november 2019). We are looking for a program to help us succeed the SFB challenge , also we would like to participate at May to SFG in Israel. we are thankful for your help!

i recently read pavels beyond bodybuilding and he displays a power cycle my question was do power cycles build or display strength and what is the difference between power cycles and peaking ? And thank you

Good similar daily program ? Maybe the justa singles programs but the problem is i can only can go 5 days a week to the gym not 7 any help and thanks !!!! Also there is this special deadlift program that pavel apparently wrote from an old thread is this for real !!!! And could a similar type of...

This is my first post for StrongFirst. As an avid reader of Pavel's works, I have decided to put one of his hypertrophy programs to the test! Beyond Bodybuilding is a treasure trove of knowledge and if you haven't picked it up, I highly recommend it! That is where this program can be found. As a...

Just wanted to remind everyone that this wonderful interview happened and it's just as good as it was 3 years ago.

Dear SFers, as the year starts to unfold I was thinking about my priorities and about the various great programs Pavel has written. This lead me to the question of macro planning. Is there an article of Pavel on planning a year or on macro cycles (or whatever it might be called)? I know he has...

This is absolute gold from Dan John. He could sell this at a premium but has linked to it free in latest post. A complete set of PowerPoint slides on Easy Strength principles and applications. Enjoy! http://danjohn.net/wp-content/uploads/New-Easy-Strength.pdf

I have started program minimum as interpreted by the free workbook Anthony put out years ago. I do gtg getups and crush curls as recommended by Steve. I was reading the talk about "a & a" on the forum, and I wondered if the increasing reps per set is still recommended. It seems that this falls...

A somewhat regular (bi-monthly) Q&A with Pavel when he is back online would get my vote. Maybe question submissions could be upvoted and then the top 3-5 questions get answered in the forum. Tim Ferriss does something similar and it leads to some really interesting insights. Just a suggestion.

Hi all, I can't be the only one wondering (and looking forward to) when we will next see something new from Pavel. I'm sure whatever he is working on will be worth the wait but do we know when we will see some new posts from him?
