Subject: Topics for the upcoming Masters’ call

Ladies and gentlemen, Masters,


Please join me for a call on June 2, 0800–0845 Pacific time.


Join Zoom Meeting

Topics to discuss:


       1. Teachers of Strength promotions


Let us welcome the new Masters, whom I will invite to this call in a separate e-mail.


I will then share the list of Senior and Team Leader promotions to be made public soon after our call.


       2. Proposed streamlined recertification requirements

 

Keep the technical tests.

 

Narrow the performance tests to: 

  • SFG I—the snatch test

  • SFG II—?

  • SFB—the tactical pullup

  • SFL—the deadlift

 The three TSC events cover many bases.

 

       3. Proposed medical exemptions for recertifying instructors

 

Our policy as it stands today:

 

“In rare cases, a highly accomplished national- or international-level coach or athlete may be exempt from the strength or technique tests due to chronic injury. The same exemption is available for veteran military, law enforcement, and first responders. These exemptions will be approved on a case-by-case basis.”

 

Should we extend the same courtesy to recertifying instructors?

 

If you would like to add to the list, please email me directly at pavel@strongfirst.com by May 11.


Thank you and power to us!


Pavel
