NEW AT THE SCHOOL OF STRENGTH  | FEBRUARY 27, 2020
NEW SPECIAL EVENT 
Denver, CO | August 8-9, 2020

SECOND WIND "EXPRESS"
Russian Breathing & Relaxation Techniques for Superior Performance
The “express” version of the Second Wind seminar, delivered as part of this special event, is seven hours long instead of the usual thirteen. You will learn the same breathing exercises as in a full-length Second Wind seminar. We will save time by shortening the lecture about the science behind the drills—but you can still read about it in your unabridged Second Wind manual.

BUILT STRONG 
Build Muscle that is as Strong as it Looks
In what was considered a golden age of physical culture, icons of the iron game like Tommy Kono, Franco Columbo, Steve Reeves, and others were truly as strong as they looked. The physiques on the stage were equally capable in the “pit.” Built Strong is a return to this golden age of physical culture.

NEW ARTICLES
Geoff Neupert Kettlebell STRONG!
Getting Brutally Strong with Double Kettlebells in Kettlebell STRONG! By Geoff Neupert
Written some seven years ago by Geoff Neupert, former Master StrongFirst Certified Instructor, Kettlebell STRONG!’s goal is to get you brutally strong with a pair of kettlebells and one expertly executed exercise: the Clean and Press. Minimalism at its finest. From SFG II candidates and strength aficionados to individuals who simply prefer double kettlebell training, we get many questions. Who is Geoff? What does the programming include? Given what we’ve learned about mitochondrial functioning since its original release, are the skills and programs still valid? How does it fit within the Strong Endurance™ framework? And is it right for me? [READ]

Kettlebell STRONG! is available on our StrongFirst online training platform.

Knee Injury
PUSH Bands, Knee Injuries, and…Boink? By Brett Jones
I recently had my eighth surgery—something that I’m neither proud or ashamed of. While nobody would consider such a thing to be “good” at first, I’ve actually learned a lot about myself, about holes in my training game, and about new ways to run diagnostics on my kettlebell practice during the process. As Hobbes (of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip by Bill Watterson) so wisely noted…the progress goes “boink.”

Snatch Test
Ace your Snatch Test Training Plan By Dr. Michael Hartle
“The Snatch Test”—these three short words elicit “pure joy” for anyone who is preparing for their SFG or SFG II certifications, or even re-certifying. They tend to raise one’s blood pressure, increase their heart rate, and make their respiratory rate start to flutter. This article presents a very successful preparation method and detailed plan—not only for the weekend, but also for the impending 300 seconds of fun! [READ]
