NEW AT THE SCHOOL OF STRENGTH  | NOVEMBER 13, 2018
Ladies and Gentlemen, 

This week we honor our Veterans for their service so it is particularly fitting to have Al Ciampa, U.S. Army Veteran and Trainer for the U.S. Air Force, as our podcast guest (see below). 

As well, the final results for our October 2018 Tactical Strength Challenge (TSC) are in. Congratulations and thank you to all participants, hosts, and judges for joining in this day of worldwide strength, spirit, and camaraderie. The event could not happen without you. View the TSC Leaderboards here and visit the TSC Facebook page to see the day's highlights.

Power to you.

HOW TO SYNC YOUR BREATHING FOR MORE KETTLEBELL POWER | Brett Jones
Kettlebell ballistics have very little to do with the kettlebell—and everything to do with how you move your body. When it comes to rhythmically repetitive power work like swings, snatches, and cleans, your best performance comes when you’ve synced your breath to the movement pattern. Better, more athletic swings mean you get more out of your training time and practice. READ
