Day 2 in Denver.
The work continues at the StrongFirst SFL Certification.
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.
Day 1 in Denver is in the books.
I’m out here with coaches and instructor candidates at the StrongFirst SFL Certification putting the barbell standards to work.
Day 2 starts now.
Real quick—
I’m headed to Denver this weekend for the SFL certification. Looking forward to a strong weekend teaching alongside great instructors and motivated students.
Plus—I get to spend time with my new grandkid. Bonus.
