Ladies and Gentlemen,

With the festive season upon us, finding a meaningful gift for your loved one(s) can be a challenge. We believe that the gift of strength can be the most remarkable of them all. Not only because its value grows over time, but also because it shows that you want their strong company for years to come. Whether your loved one is new to strength or is more seasoned, we’ve got you covered with our top gift suggestions.

BEGINNERS: Give the gift of new skills and a fresh perspective to strength and fitness. 

PARTNERS: Time spent with you could be the best gift ever. 
♦ How about learning a new skill together at a one-day LIVE course?
♦ Or sharing the journey towards your next instructor certification

MORE ADVANCED
♦ Books: The Quick and the Dead and Reload
♦ Giving a strength aficionado an expertly customized program is like handing them the keys to their next personal record. Recruit the Plan Strong team’s expertise to craft their individualized plan.
♦ There is no doubt that double kettlebell work delivers strength gains. Just in time for the holidays, we’ve released Kettlebell STRONG! on our online training platform (see below).
♦ And finally, for your technology and data buffs, who would appreciate objective feedback on the quality of their training, we have The Push Band accelerometer.

Power—with our Season's Greetings—to you and yours.
KETTLEBELL STRONG!
ONLINE TRAINING
Kettlebell-STRONG-Online-Course
There comes a time in every kettlebell student's journey where he or she excitedly asks: what's next? Whether you've arrived through a solid practice learned from a live StrongFirst Kettlebell course, its online counterpart Kettlebell Foundations, training with a Certified Instructor, or any other path, proficiency with single-arm skills has set the perfect stage for its natural progression: mastering advanced techniques and additional load requirements from double kettlebell work. Enter Kettlebell STRONG!

Double lifts will seriously challenge your strength, conditioning, and power while being extremely time-efficient and literally, twice the fun. Whether you want to amplify your strength with heavier loads, are working towards the SFG Level I certification—where double cleans and front squats are required—or are ready to take on the SFG Level II skills, Kettlebell STRONG! delivers.

We are excited to work with former StrongFirst Master Certified Instructor Geoff Neupert, adding his very successful program to our online training platform. When Geoff retired from the fitness industry, this very popular DVD, released in 2012, became a sought after commodity. Seven years later, it continues to be quoted as a top-quality resource. Kettlebell STRONG! offers Geoff's particular take on training double kettlebell lifts, developed from a foundation of StrongFirst skills and principles, personal coaching experience, and weightlifting background. It is an excellent resource for anyone ready for the undisputed results it delivers.

NEW ARTICLES
Article-Floor-Press
Angles and Arches—Using the Floor to Strengthen Your Press by Piers Kwan
If you haven’t encountered the kettlebell floor press before, think of it as a bench press performed on the ground with a few technical adjustments. Effectively used as a strength, mobility, and stability exercise in its own right, as specialized variety for your bench press or other skills (military press, pushup, get-up to name a few), the floor press is worth exploring. READ
Article-Timeless-Solution
The Timeless Solution for Swings, Snatches, and More by Brett Jones
Density, as a training variable, means compressing a given amount of work into less time. And while a formulaic increase in density can certainly be successful, the failure of any training plan comes when we increase the workload on paper faster than our actual physiological progress. We know this happens when we feel burned out and our progress hits a wall. Thankfully, we have a different approach that produces excellent results for snatch tests and sinister goals without the clock-chasing downside. Enter the Timeless strategy. READ
