THE QUICK AND THE DEAD Total Training for the Advanced Minimalist
By Pavel
|
| | You are strong. Or want to be. You take pride in your all-around physical development—but have precious little time for it. You are serving your country, raising a family, training for sport… You have been around long enough not to be fooled by pop “fitness” fads.
The Quick and the Dead is designed for an advanced minimalist like you—needing or wanting to maximize performance at the lowest biological cost, so you stay fresh and able to perform at a high level, physically and mentally, at any time.
Q&D is a culmination of four years of research and experimentation. It distills cutting-edge science to a deceptively simple protocol of two basic exercises you mastered years ago: kettlebell swings and power pushups.
You will get powerful. You will also experience a wide range of “what the hell effects.” Muscle hypertrophy. Fat loss. Endurance. Strength gains. Anti-fragility. Anti-aging.
And because Q&D will not beat up your body—taking only 12–30 minutes per training session, two to three times per week—it can make a quality addition to any athlete’s regimen or be a minimalist’s stand-alone, total training method. It spares your energy to fight, work, play, live...
Available at Amazon in the US on Monday, JULY 22.
Logistics for international availability are being reviewed. |

| | VIDEO TECHNIQUE TIP
This week's tip is from StrongFirst Certified Team Leader, Martine Kerr, to improve your pushup's starting strength. Building your pushup from the bottom isn’t only a great way to develop explosive strength. It also improves your ability to get tight from the bottom, challenges your plank’s full range stability, and helps you optimize your hand placement. Click the image below to view in Instagram.

| | | | The Tale of Two Leopards—An Excerpt from The Quick and the Dead
by Pavel Tsatsouline
...It was over in 16 seconds. The proud hunter stood tall, surveyed her surroundings the way a big boss would, and made a brief “fast and loose” victory dance. Then she picked up her dinner, which was bigger than herself, and climbed a tree with it. READ |
| Running Without Running: Training For A Half-Marathon When You Have A Full Schedule by Jean Francois Lopez
Smart runners know a little strength training goes a long way to helping improve performance and reduce risk of injury. Smart coaches know sport-specific training should be built on a foundation of good movement. Anyone having tackled the StrongFirst snatch test knows: you can improve cardio endurance with strength training. Could a program combining all those elements help a non-runner train for a half-marathon? Yes it could. |
