👉 “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the SFL (StrongFirst Lifter Certification) should be mandatory for anyone teaching athletes to be better/safer lifters. CrossFit coaches, high school and college coaches, and personal trainers, please consider attending a StrongFirst workshop or certification. It will be the best thing you will ever do for your athletes.” —Team Leader Mark Valenti

Finished up another good hard exercise walk today. Nothing like a little exercise to clear the mind. In the middle of my second PhD now, almost ready to be Dr2. One step at a time.

Currently working on my dissertation topic, focusing on HA1C levels and exercise — specifically kettlebells. Research in motion!

✓ Earn a certification that sets you apart as a strength professional
✓ Join the StrongFirst community of dedicated lifters and coaches

You’ve likely heard that the SFL manual’s programming section alone is worth the price of admission, and here's why.

We spend over 4 hours breaking down how to:
✔ Adjust training for real-life demands
✔ Optimize volume for steady progress and peak performance
✔ Build strength and muscle with proven programming cycles

No fluff—just real, effective strategies to help you train smarter and get stronger for the long haul.

Dr. Michael Hartle will be leading the SFL programming discussion at three StrongFirst SFL Certifications this year:

📍 NYC – June
📍 San Diego – October
📍 Nashville – December

Don’t miss the chance to learn from one of the best in strength programming. 🏋️‍♂️ Click the link in bio for sign-up details!
