I’m looking for some advice as the discount deadline rapidly approaches for the Bodyweight Cert at the end of May in Boston. Here are the details of my dilemma:
1. Local (i.e. Boston) certifications are ideal for me right now and I don’t know how often the Bodyweight cert comes back around. Don’t want to wait and find it won’t be back in my area for years.
2. Just passed my SFG 1 at the end of September and am hungry for some more StrongFirst knowledge, plus a Bodyweight cert could be invaluable to my clients.
3. The flip side to this was that it took me *years* to finally take the SFG cert because I’m a planner (and a bit of a worrier) and wanted to have the skills 100% down before attending.
4. As far as Bodyweight skills go, I’m good with the pull up. OAPU is on a railing and no lower. Pistol is my nemesis due to ankle and hip mobility and strength.
5. I know I can test the skills after the cert but wouldn’t have attended my SFG “not ready” under any circumstances - it felt disrespectful to me to not have done my due diligence and understood what skills would be tested and then train properly for them. (Just my opinion.)
6. The Bodyweight Course seems like a more reasonable place for me to start but we’re back to #1. Local is best and I don’t know how often that course comes around my area. Don’t see any on the docket as of now.
