Hi all, please do shout at me if this is not the right thing do do, however in about a month me and my partner will be moving to York (UK's York that is). We found a nice house with a built-in garage so it means my already-at-home workouts will be a lot more productive with a dedicated space to...

Quick thanks to everyone in the Strongfirst community and of course Pavel! I am currently going through a rigorous course in the military where every day has some type of maximal effort test. Last week we had an exercise involving carrying a 60kg load all day on top of whatever sadistic tests...

I watched a video and was intrigued. The gentleman speaking was talking about how he takes between 5 and 15 minute breaks between sets. I have never taken more than a minute between sets so this sounded ( as I am getting older) like a smart move. I also if I am correct think i heard Joe...

Hey StrongFirst friends, So I came across this study in my research for a presentation for class and at the last NSCA conference. Its a preliminary study looking at strength benefits of kettlebell training in comparison to barbell training, I'll post the study so you can look at the methods and...

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'm interested in hearing thoughts and experiences of stopping most sets based on when speed starts slowing down. Is this as hard as StrongFirst recommends pushing a set outside of record attempts? My focus is higher rep bodyweight basics (chins, dips, skater squats). I come from...

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?

After an amazing three days at The Dome this year, the long drive home was ripe with summation of the weekend and contemplation of what I just became a part of. This is what I wrote on the way home: In the lifting world there has been a history of ego and an unspoken standard of needing to...

Hey, What would you guys suggest for leg conditioning for boxing?

I own several books pavel wrote, and a few others too. I would like to know in your opinion which book conveys the philosophy of training used by StrongFirst best? The is to get a few copies to give my friends as gift. Or folks who wonder why I train differently. Thank you.
