What is the StrongFirst Lifter Instructor Certification?

At our School of Strength we take barbell lifts apart and put them back together strong.

We have seamlessly integrated biomechanical breakthroughs from Russian sports labs, intuitive discoveries of the finest coaches and lifters around the world, and insights from medical professionals. As a result, our cues and progressions lead the industry, and the learning curve of our students is the steepest.

Dive deep into the powerlifts plus several high yield barbell exercises:

  • Back Squat
  • Bench Press (plus variations)
  • Deadlift (conventional and sumo)
  • Front Squat
  • Zercher Squat
  • Good Morning
  • Military Press

We promise that you have not seen the level of attention to barbell technique at any other school.

Is the SFL instructor certification right for you?

If this is not your first barbell rodeo and you check at least one of the following boxes, welcome to the StrongFirst Lifter Instructor Certification.

  • A strength coach committed to becoming a world class professional and making his or her athletes win
  • A lifter ready for new PRs
  • An athlete seeking an edge in his or her sport by becoming a lot stronger than the competition
  • A personal trainer too proud to be delivering shoddy product common in the industry
