How 10 Kettlebell Skills Turn Into 88 Million Training Sessions

These days, I join tens of thousands, if not millions of parents around the world as we facilitate our children’s homeschooling. For the sake of full disclosure, I love math. There was even a time in my past life where I fancied being a mathematician and spent my first two university years going down that […]

Five Ways to Improve your Get-up (Without Doing Get-ups)

The get-up is one of those all-encompassing exercises that covers several bases. If you’ve seen anyone go from lying supine on the ground (on their back) and moving up to standing, they’ve essentially performed a variation of the get-up. Granted, the “get-up” you saw might not have been done in the exact way we teach […]

  • [ARTICLE] A person who desires to be anti-fragile must train his or her cardiovascular and respiratory systems. If you prefer to get your “cardio” while lifting—or you are stuck indoors because of the quarantine—avoid “grinds” and go explosive. A “weight” does not have to be a barbell or a; it can be your own weight. To use the burpee as an example, you will need to make two radical changes from the way it is done in “metcon” gyms to make it aerobic. First, pop up like a spring. Second, rest between reps long enough to sustain an aerobic effort for over 30 minutes. The exercise will be aerobic if you can pass the talk test before every rep, until the very end, so adjust your rest periods accordingly. To read the article, click the link in our bio > Articles > How to Train Against a Virus - How can accurately measure your own personal daily talk test to keep some measure of consistency from one training session to another and as a way to make sure you are using an accurate rate of perceived exertion for each session? Paul Tracogna shares his insights (continued in the next comment >>) #StrongFirst #resilience #cardio #longevity #training #aerobicexercise #paveltsatsouline #talktest
  • [ARTICLE] Did you know that by mastering four kettlebell skills (and with access to only three kettlebells), you could have a different daily training session for a year and a half? So what would happen if you knew ten skills?

  • Before you deadlift, be sure you can get into the setup position safely. Here is a look inside an SFL Barbell Instructor Certification where we practice how we want instructors to teach others—with safety first. . . . If you are isolated at home, you can still practice this skill, especially with a few kettlebells. Otherwise, use a dowel making sure it stays connected with your shins. #StrongFirst #barbell #deadlift #sflrocks #safety #strengthcoach @x_fab_69 @athleticleaders
  • [VIDEO TIP: HARD STYLE SIT BACK] AUDIO ON 🔉In case you may not have read Mike’s article on ways to improve your get-up (without doing get-ups). He’s right. So many near perfect get-ups are spoiled by a late loss of control. But since the rep isn’t over until the kettlebell is safely parked on the deck, training this final deceleration with the hard style sit back delivers. It just so happens that the concentric part will help with your roll to the elbow. It’s a terrific do-anywhere midsection strengthener for controlled extension and flexion. . . . Want to learn how to get-up from home? Check out our online Kettlebell Fundamentals course. While you’ll eventually want a kettlebell to strengthen your skill, you can master the move with a shoe.

  • While StrongFirst Accredited Gyms may be closed, doing their part in helping to curtail the spread of Covid-19, many are also continuing to get and keep people strong by virtual means. This is a great drill (and movement assessment) for any squat...not just the pistol. Ankles, knees, hips, upper torso. #strongfirstgym #staysafe #pistol #squat #gratitude #staystrong Repost @betsycollie ・・・ Training folks from afar from home... I love the trust, focus, and real-time this period we are going through brings us. I wish the best for all my students who trust me with their training. My days are flying by actually because this routine is so different from my normal instruction at the gym. So thank you to those who believe in me and trust me with your programming and instruction whether it’s group instruction, private training, long distance, or just offering technique advice THROUGH THICK OR THIN... we are #inittogether
