I see online that there were quite a few StrongFirst instructor certifications all over the world this past weekend, December 2023. Welcome to all newly certified StrongFirst instructors! The StrongFirst message and methods continue to spread through your abilities and willingness to pass it...

Hey everyone, I'm a coach from Portsmouth, UK, who owns a studio called On Form Fitness Studio. My goal with training is to learn through myself what it takes and requires to get stronger, be fitter, and move pain-free. I then pass this on to my members so they can live better lives. I'm going...

Hi! I use the "corkscrew the shoulder" cue a lot with my clients but recently I was thinking about the way it functions and I couldn't figure it out. Because when I corkscrew the shoulder I feel (of course) a lot of tension in my lats (and the rotator cuff is probably working hard as well). But...

I was reviewing the Tactical Pullup Standard: I notice in my own Pullups that I'm lacking the "last 5%" to get my upper chest touching the bar on the top of the Pullup. As a regular deskworker the muscles in my back are probably to weak. Are there support exercise I can do, e.g. some kind of...

So I have really been wanting to attend the SFB course. The one thing that has stopped my is my absolutely horrid ankle mobility. I had a lot of ankle sprains when I was younger and grew up in shoes all the time and as a result I have really poor ankle mobility. Worse than the normal person...

Hey guys, I've been absolutely loving the pistol since attending the SFB workshop about a month ago and have recently began a slightly altered training phase where my primary points of emphasis will be on the pisol & OAPU. Regarding the pistol, I really covet the skill and love the idea of...

Hey guys, First off, yes, I was trying to have everything in the title start with 's'. Since March, I have made great progress, learned a lot, and surprised myself with the ability to get to the point where I am regularly swinging 32kgs with one arm as well as training the get up with 36 &...

Hi guys, I will attend the SFB certification in Italy next December. I am practicing GTG for the OA(OL)PU in the NW. Before the press (I am doing dead start now) I tense every muscle but I want to ask if is normal that the gluteus of the leg opposite to the pressing arm lose a little of tension...
