When I set out to start StrengthAxis, I aimed to add meaningful contributions to the world of Hardstyle Kettlebell Training. I’ve sought to work within the standards of StrongFirst while innovating high-output chains, complexes, and programming.
I’m a believer in minimum effective dose (MED) training. I only program movements that offer functional carryover to power, strength, and conditioning without the burden of superfluous volume or intensity. StrengthAxis focuses on peak precision.
In this post, I relay the Tactical Snatch and the Tactical Cycle. These complexes offer high power demands with a sprinkling of finesse. I have chosen movements which cover broad human movement patterns and can be performed standalone in a session.
Although foreign to some, a training session can feature just one exercise. In doing so, we provide ample practice to the unique lift while saving valuable time for life’s demands. I’ve made it a goal to promote these MED values. After all, they work.
