If StrongFirst can help world champions and special operators, we have got your needs covered.
The last time I saw Prof. Stuart McGill, a couple of months ago, he told me what had happened at a recent clinic of his. A seventy-five-year old woman came close to tears on stage telling that she was about to sell her house and move to an assisted care facility. Her health was fine, but she was getting weak and was having a hard time getting up from a chair.
The professor proceeded to teach the woman several strength techniques used by elite powerlifters—and taught in our SFG curriculum. Shortly after, she was popping off the chair like a young girl. The woman was ecstatic. She could stay in her home, and not just maintain, but improve the quality of her life.
Prof. McGill consults Olympic teams on one end of the spectrum and works with “hopeless” back patients on the other. He compares this practice to that of car companies making race cars. The Ford GT, tested under extreme high-performance conditions, teaches the company priceless lessons which are applied to Ford Taurus.
StrongFirst—and the Glock—Are Chosen by Professionals
The methods of strength professionals are the best methods and they ought to be used by all. You will certainly use lighter loads—but there is no reason for you train differently and settle for inferior mainstream methods. Most hobbyists buy the highest quality professional-grade equipment if they have the means. No self-respecting amateur chef would pick Walmart knives over Global or Wusthof brands. Yet, amazingly, when it comes to fitness, people shun the methods of the pros and opt for mass-market nonsense—the equivalent of cheap plastic.
If the kitchen knife analogy is too soft for you, consider Glock. It has a rare distinction of being the choice of gun carrying professionals—and the number one pistol recommended to beginners at the same time. Today, the Glock is the most popular handgun in the world, supplying two thirds of the law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and countless institutional and private customers worldwide.
