Read below and choose the right workshop for you or register for the combo and join us for the full day to experience how we put our training principles in practice across modalities!
Kettlebell 101: Simple & Sinister™
Accept no compromises.
Between power and conditioning.
Between strength and flexibility.
Between being an athlete and looking like one.
Enter the kettlebell—the only training tool able to deliver all aspects of extreme fitness with no compromises.
No-one knows how to wield this tool better than StrongFirst, the kettlebell ground zero.
Taking the Kettlebell 101 workshop is like walking into the pages of Pavel’s ground-breaking book Kettlebell Simple & Sinister. You will learn the kettlebell exercises that deliver great gains while having the steepest learning curve:
The Swing—build a back of steel, sprinter’s glutes, fighter’s conditioning, and a blue-collar grip
The Get-up—forge resilient shoulders and bullet-proof abs
The Goblet Squat—develop a killer blend of strength and flexibility
Kettlebell safety and other boring stuff that pros swear by and amateurs ignore at their own risk
Insider strategies for long term sustainable training to reach your goals
Pavel’s “Alt-S&S” programming—totally in line with the book, yet with unique wrinkles
The day after the workshop you will be able to hit the ground running towards your goals.
Sign up and power to you!
Barbell 101: Power to the People!
Either you never touched the barbell, or you dabbled in the past.
Now you choose to be strong and to do it right.
At our Barbell 101 workshop you will learn:
Develop total body strength with just two highest yield lifts (Fact: some of the strongest athletes in the world are ultra-minimalists)
The Deadlift—the most “functional” strength exercise and the most hardcore lift of all time
The Bench Press—the undisputed champion for building upper body strength faster than any other exercise
The Bridge Floor Press—a favorite of old-time strongmen and wrestlers, it is a bench press with no bench
Perform these lifts like a pro—with techniques perfected for maximal strength and longevity
Keep gaining strength non-stop for up to a year with state-of-the-art programming that blends Soviet science and American ingenuity
Build quality muscle “organically”—along with strength
Experience minimal fatigue and soreness—because you need energy outside the gym
Power to the people!
Sign up and power to you!
