Strength . Movement . Education
Strength:
As is quoted by StrongFirst, “Strength is the foundation for developing the rest of physical qualities,” - Prof. Leonid Matveev.
​
It is a skill that needs to be practiced, and is expressed through a variety of tools - Kettlebells, dumbells, barbells, bodyweight and more.
​
Movement:
Strength is both harder to develop and has a lower peak if not built on a base of movement competency. Mobility and control of mobility are essential in creating a rich learning environment to build strength and capacity upon. Move Well before you Move Often.
​
Education:
Underpinning all of this is health. Nutrition, sleep and stress management are always fundamental to your training. Being educated and aware of where you are now and where you are going is key.
