02:18 - What is the StrongFirst podcast? Another opportunity to get great StrongFirst information out there. Will bring a lot of guests who will talk about how StrongFirst has helped them and how they use it in their practices.

Plan Strong - a methodology for using strength and keeping you healthy.

Strong Endurance - a system that aids conditioning.

This is another way to educate and serve the audience - people both within or outside the StrongFirst Community.

05:08 - What brought Scott to StrongFirst? He decided to pick up a Kettlebell after reading Pavel’s book Enter the Kettlebell. After a workshop, he realized he was doing everything wrong. The methodology he learned from Pavel has been game-changing. After years training as a bodybuilder, he’s been reintroduced to the barbell. It’s been a journey and a big part is helping other people do the same.

09:00 - What brought Craig to StrongFirst? He started learning how to strength train through bodybuilding magazines. When Pavel wrote articles in magazines, they were completely different. It was a challenge to him to do the certification and then become a kettlebell instructor.

Some clinicians will speak to talk about kettlebell use for rehabilitation and “pre-habilitation.”
