Advanced Strength and Speed Strategies
Advanced Strength & Speed Strategies by Dr. Hartle is dedicated to getting you kettlebell & barbell strong—bringing your iron game to the next level!
Dr. Michael Hartle's Advanced Strength and Speed Strategies is a training system built around the StrongFirst (StrongFirst.com) principles. This idea is designed to improve the athletes performance through mobility, strength, and better programming! With this you will learn how to integrate kettlebells and barbells to enhance your training.
StrongFirst is built on precision, patience, and practice.
At the Minneapolis SFG Certification, instructor candidates refine one of the most fundamental movement patterns in strength training—the squat. Through coaching, feedback, and repetition, small adjustments become stronger positions, better movement, and higher standards.
If you're ready to sharpen your coaching eye, improve your technique, and challenge your standards, join us at an upcoming StrongFirst Certification.

While the SFL is built around the barbell, the kettlebell remains a valuable tool for developing shoulder stability, pressing strength, coordination, and resilience.
Different tool. Same standard.
Strong is strong.

Day 2 in Denver.

Bigger lifts are part of it.
But so is building a bigger cerebral muscle—focus, discipline, coaching, and attention to detail under the bar.
That’s the standard this weekend.
