NEW AT THE SCHOOL OF STRENGTH | JANUARY 31, 2019 |
| INTRODUCING RELOAD
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Cycling. Unless you are new to the strength game, you've likely heard of it. Powerlifting cycling was born in the 1970s as a joint Russian-American venture. It produced some of the strongest men in history. Other than the Soviet Olympic weightlifting system of the same vintage, no other method has ever asserted such decisive and lasting dominance on the lifting platform.
At StrongFirst, we enjoy the challenge of polishing the chrome of classic methods. We stand by “cycling” as one of the best ways to build barbell strength. We also recognize that even timeless methods benefit from periodic updates.
|
| Cycling works great for many. But it can fail others by imposing a cookie-cutter rhythm of progression that does not fit the individual athlete. To tackle this pitfall, we have developed a series of straightforward tests and instructions for you to build your own custom power cycle, while respecting the original system’s spirit and simplicity.
Introducing RELOAD: Your Barbell Strength Blueprint. This purposefully concise digital book (US$5.99) takes one of history’s most successful strength training methodologies and shows you how to customize it and make it nearly foolproof. One caveat—this program is not intended for beginners.
Barbell power to you.
