Bodyweight Demo:
STRONGFIRST Bodyweight techniques will teach you how to get a powerlifting-quality workout anywhere, anytime, using your own bodyweight as resistance. These techniques distill the principles of STRONGFIRST and reverse-engineer the body language of the strong. These principles have a great range of applications towards lifting various implements and generating force in athletic skills.
The curriculum was developed by Pavel Tsatsouline, and will be demonstrated by select members of the STRONGFIRST instructor cadre.
Come to the StrongFirst session and learn:
State-of-the-art abdominal exercises.
Learn progressions for the “bodyweight powerlifts” the one-arm pushup, the pistol, and the tactical pull-up.
The principles of an effective bodyweight strength program design, refined and condensed from Russian methodology.
Kettlebell Demo:
Meet the AK-47 of exercise equipment—the kettlebell. It is the beginning to your education in moving strong.
No matter what your goals are, the kettlebell is the most effective weapon you can add to your strength and conditioning arsenal. Subtleties taught using the kettlebell have been instrumental in helping powerlifters reach breakthroughs in strength while making back problems a thing of the past or in helping people lose weight without the shame of aerobic classes.
Come to the StrongFirst Kettlebell Demo and learn:
Kettlebell training safety procedures.
Essential joint mobility exercises.
Sophisticated breathing techniques for strength, back safety, endurance, and reducing stress level.
“Hip-centric” movement, a must for strength and back health.
Strength Stretching™ principles and key exercises which enable greater expression of strength while dramatically reducing the back, hip, and knee stress.
“Lat-centric” shoulder mechanics which protect the shoulder while significantly increasing strength.
The single most beneficial exercise anyone can do—the swing.
The most foolproof squat—the goblet squat.
A number of foolproof program design tools and sample programs for a variety of training goals.
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Suicide Circuit Competition
The Suicide Circuit involves functional training at high-intensity with low impact on the body.
“This is the polar opposite to Crossfit which incorporates high impact with high-intensity.”
The Suicide Circuit mimics an MMA fight in the sense that there are 3/ 5-minute rounds with 1-minute rest in between. If you think you are an athlete, this program will push you to your limits mentally and physically.
“The pros train like this…and so should you!!”
For only $25 you get to compete for more than $1,000 in prizes. The fee also includes free admission to the LA Fit Expo AND FREE SUPPLEMENTS!
