StrongFirst Foundations

“If mankind knew how easy it is to develop strength, there would be no weak people at all.”

These words of iron legend Ivan Lebedev ring truer than ever today, given the advances in training techniques and methods.

Come to the StrongFirst Foundations workshop and see for yourself. After a few hours with one of our world class instructors you will walk away noticeably stronger—guaranteed.

For this entry level workshop, we have cherry picked a handful of exercises and techniques—kettlebell, barbell, and bodyweight—that combine the highest yield results with a quickest learning curve:

  • Power Breathing—the secret to lifting heavy, hitting hard, and looking the part
  • StrongFirst Plank—our state-of-the art plank has been measured to recruit your six-pack 3x more intensely than the conventional plank
  • Barbell Deadlift—the #1 “functional” exercise and the most hardcore lift of all time
  • Hard Style Pushup—an anytime, anywhere strength and muscle builder (the only thing it shares with the traditional pushup is the name)
  • Kettlebell Swing—for hard charging power, ruthless conditioning, and aggressive fat loss

What do you have to lose except your weakness?

Sign up and power to you!





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!
