THE SCHOOL OF STRENGTH | APRIL 2, 2020 |
| Adapt and Overcome
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our school of strength, our certified instructors, and their students are staying strong.
March-May 2020 Events Postponed and Rescheduled
StrongFirst and our licensees adhere to the regulatory directives in the countries and regions where our events are held. The situation remains fluid. Please visit our calendar for the list of currently scheduled events.
Early Registration Pricing Reopened on Some Events
We are optimistic that, given the global efforts to contain Covid-19’s spread, most of our events scheduled for later in the year will remain unaffected. To support those who have been waiting to register, we have reopened the early registration pricing on several events. Check a particular event page for details.
TSC on May 9, 2020 Moves Online
Since many competitors may not have access to all the required equipment, we will allow participation in any one, two, or three events. Your “host” facility will be judging your online submissions, and we will crown individual event winners. Given the new format, we have re-opened the registration for hosting facilities until May 2 and participants until May 9th.
Power to us!

| | | How 10 Kettlebell Skills Turn Into 88 Million Training Sessions By Martine Kerr
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 rabbit hole. So working through problems and showing my son the cool things math lets us figure out—like how many different training sessions you can plan using 10 exercises—is a welcome distraction from the many other, less stimulating subjects (for me at least).

| Five Ways to Improve your Get-up (Without Doing Get-ups) By Mike Perry
The get-up is one of those all-encompassing exercises that covers several bases. It is a skill that requires mobility, stability, strength, and coordination. For some, it comes fairly easy; but for others, it’s quite a challenging feat. Regardless of where you are at in your strength journey, you can practice exercises and drills that will improve every building block that goes into a solid get-up. Here are my top five. [READ] |
| Simple Strength for Difficult Times: An 8-Week Progressive Plan By Fabio Zonin
These are difficult times for everyone. But it doesn't mean that we shouldn't continue to have training options whether we are practicing social distancing or in full-blown lockdown. Master StrongFirst Certified Instructor, Fabio Zonin, shares the flexible 8-week strength plan that he designed to keep his strength sword sharp from home, with a limited array of tools. Simple to implement: one squat, one push, one pull, and with eight exercise options for each movement pattern, this plan can be used by anyone. [READ] |
| Pregnancy and Training: Yes but Stay Inside the Line By Yoana Teran
If you’ve ever been pregnant, contemplated being pregnant, or train pregnant women, you’ve likely heard conflicting advice about exercise during this miraculous time. Yes, growing a baby requires a shift in your priorities—being pregnant isn’t the time to chase PRs or gruelling certifications. But neither is it the time to throw all your healthy habits out of the window, staying on the couch and eating whatever you want. [READ] |
| Forging a New Path to “Functional” Hypertrophy By Fabio Zonin
Whether you have focused your training on building your size and intimidation factor for sport, on adding girth to your glutes, on chiseling your midsection, or on balancing out your musculature for enhanced symmetry (i.e. larger shoulders to visually “taper” hips), chances are you followed a bodybuilding approach. And if you found your movements affected for days afterward from soreness, chances are you were following a traditional approach. Effective—yes. But not without serious tradeoffs. We have a better option. [READ] |
