My adductors are too weak because I feel pain in this area. I want to strengthen these inner thigh muscles. I think that my abductors are much stronger than adductors, so should I train only inner thigh without build more strength in abductors? Is it possible that this disbalance make pain in...

Hello all! With the new year comes new goals and resolutions, and I was excited to see "get stronger" on my girlfriend's list. I became a kettlebell proselytizer when I began my practice at the beginning of covid lockdown, so naturally my immediate reaction to her 2021 goal of strength...

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...

The idea I have is I'd train 3 days a week Mon, Wed, Fri, and alternate between training with barbells for hypertrophy and training with kettlebells for general athleticism and strength. With barbells, I'd perform deadlifts, bench presses, rows, squats, military press. So far I'm planning to...

Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I just finished Pavel’s interview with joe rogan and I’m extremely interested in learning more and adapting my training. I saw that Pavel has taught marines training styles and that’s the branch i’ll be going into through an officer program. I...

When cycling load should you always keep the reps and sets the same? Whenever I’ve cycled my barbell training I do it by gradually upping the weight and keeping everything else the same. I’ve done this ever since I read PTTP. Usually I do 5-3-2 reps and keep upping the weight till I hit a 5RM...

I read an article that said 'a PT from trainstrong PT could barely flip a 350kg tyre. after doing 3 months of serious TGU work with a 48kg kettlebell, he was able to flip it over easily' Pavel once wrote that a man did nothing but OAPUs and, months later, did a One Arm Chin Up effortlessly...

I’ve got a nice collection of KB’s gathering dust. I’ve neglected them since I started running 5 years ago. After a string of injuries and guessing I’m not as strong as I used to be. Injuries: glute, hamstring, soleous. I’ll be entering into another marathon cycle in February 2020, prior to...

If you train a sport that requires conditioning what is the best way to develop that conditioning? 1) Train your sport to develop conditioning and then train only strength in the gym to allow your conditioning systems to recover more optimally for sports training or 2) to train both strength...

Hi everyone, been following and enjoying strongfirsts work for a while, im also a level 3 qualified trainer from the UK. Just after some opinions here based on my official course training. In the course it says basically that someone who hasn't trained for a while or consistently ect ect...

Hi all, this is my first post and I hope I put it in the right place. First off, I am a soldier and am required to pass a fitness test of high rep push ups and sit ups. I am using Grease the groove to up my number of reps for this event. I had read that GtG only works for 2-3 weeks until...

To build stronger shoulders, a solid core, and add slight variety, could the KB side press be programed into the same week with clean and press ladders? If so, how would one add it?
