What is the StrongFirst Lifter Instructor Certification?

At our School of Strength we take barbell lifts apart and put them back together strong.

We have seamlessly integrated biomechanical breakthroughs from Russian sports labs, intuitive discoveries of the finest coaches and lifters around the world, and insights from medical professionals. As a result, our cues and progressions lead the industry, and the learning curve of our students is the steepest.

Dive deep into the powerlifts plus several high yield barbell exercises:

Back Squat
Bench Press (plus variations)
Deadlift (conventional and sumo)
Front Squat
Zercher Squat
Good Morning
Military Press

We promise that you have not seen the level of attention to barbell technique at any other school.
