NEW AT THE SCHOOL OF STRENGTH | OCTOBER 24, 2019 |
| | | | Are you ready to test your TSC mettle? |
| | In 2002, our founder and Chairman, Pavel Tsatsouline, created The Tactical Strength Challenge to help military and law enforcement personnel prepare for the physical demands of their duty.
As others outside of these specialized fields aspired to “test their TSC mettle,” they quickly recognized its perfect blend of strength and conditioning for all individuals—regardless of background, profession, gender, or size. Add to that the need for focused training and a healthy dose of competition—personal or otherwise—and the TSC gained popularity amongst our entire community as a goal worthy of their training efforts.
The TSC is our triathlon and represents each of StrongFirst’s strength development modalities: barbell, kettlebell, and bodyweight. The three events test a unique trade-off between various abilities. In general, the barbell deadlift favours heavier people. Lighter individuals get a relative strength advantage in tactical pull-ups. And kettlebell snatches represent the strength-endurance component of a well-rounded strength and fitness profile. Excelling in one event is impressive. Two—praiseworthy. Three—awesome. But the TSC’s true spirit reflects in each person’s progress, as a result of the actions they took to get there. And for those setting their first benchmarks, we applaud your courage.
Saturday, October 26th, 2019
This weekend, over a thousand competitors will meet at more than 100 facilities across the globe for our 2019 Competitive Edition of the TSC. While all divisions attend and compete, overall 2019 TSC champions will be crowned from the competitive divisions.
If you are competing, in any division, power to you!
If not, you may have a local TSC happening nearby (see the hosts here). Whether you have a few free hours to fill, love to watch competitions, or are curious about what makes StrongFirst a community, why not stop by to be part of the event’s cheering squad? The supportive crowd at any sporting event, contest, race, or meet undeniably contributes to and elevates the atmosphere. We guarantee, you’ll find yourself rooting for someone, if not everyone. |
