Ladies and Gentlemen,

"There are many ways to get strong. Most are mediocre, some are effective,
a handful are extraordinary." –Pavel

Hindsight is 20/20. And it's hard to look through historical records and argue intelligently against the superiority of the Russian system for developing enduring strength. Even despite the era of steroid use. As Pavel says "Everything else being equal—with everyone juicing—the best method still prevails."

So this week, we bring back three of Pavel's popular articles to help you dive deeper into the why of our approach.
It's results like those below, achieved with Plan Strong™ programming, that keep confirming that we are on the side of the extraordinary. 

Get the insider's understanding of how we build strength, so you can too.

Two Swing Cues to Unlock your Power, Posture, and Athleticism | Piers Kwan
There is a big difference between swinging a kettlebell around and executing a powerful kettlebell swing. Learning where and how to focus your efforts, and what power feels like can lead to a lot of ‘aha’ moments. We never get bored with those. Read on to explore two cues that might help you get that feeling. READ

Myofibrillar Growth & Conditioning—The Program | Dr. Craig Marker
Strength, speed, and a "functional" type of muscle growth. That's what you get from myofibrillar hypertrophy. It's the muscle of a lean African leopard and it's what you see in elite sprinters, boxers, and gymnasts. Now contrast that with water-injected chicken breast at the supermarket (in case you were looking for another reason to avoid poultry). That's what you get with sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. 

StrongFirst Senior Instructor, Dr. Craig Marker, shares a 6-week protocol that concentrates on lean, striated myofibrilliar hypertrophy while burning fat and building the type of endurance needed to carry 160-pound kegs up multiple sets of stairs (as Dr. Fred Hatfield described it). It came as a byproduct of a Strong Endurance™ protocol for athletes that he worked on with Pavel. Head to T-NATION to read.
