“Strength is a skill.” That StrongFirst principle became the foundation of my preparation for Denali (6,190 m). - Sebastian Satke, StrongFirst Certified SFB Instructor 
„Although our team had to turn back before reaching the summit due to weather and logistics, the expedition reinforced something I had been discovering for years: strength training is one of the most valuable tools for high-altitude mountaineering.

I’m a mountain guide and have summited Aconcagua 30 times. In 2022, I also attempted Makalu (8,485 m) without supplemental oxygen, sherpa support, or a climbing partner. At high altitude, success demands far more than endurance. It requires the ability to produce force repeatedly, manage energy efficiently, and maintain precise movement under extreme conditions.

My preparation has evolved over the years. I once relied mainly on cycling, but strength training completely changed my approach. Barbells built my foundation, and after a knee injury I discovered kettlebells.

For Denali I trained primarily with the swing, snatch, single-leg squat, bent press, and Turkish get-up, using Pavel Tsatsouline’s Kettlebell AXE method. Heavy ballistic work developed power and endurance, while slower practice refined control, breathing, and technique.

What I value most about StrongFirst is its philosophy: strength is a skill, and training should stay far from failure.

In the mountains, success isn’t about pushing yourself to exhaustion. It’s about building the capacity to move efficiently, carry heavy loads for hours, preserve technique, and keep performing when conditions become unforgiving.

StrongFirst taught me to practice strength, respect technique, avoid unnecessary fatigue, and trust the power of small, consistent improvements. Those lessons have become just as important in the mountains as they are in the gym.”

Strength has a greater purpose.
Power to you Sebastian!

“Bent pressing leads to proficiency in all other lifts…In bent pressing every muscle of the body is used…It requires and develops strength in every part of the body. It teaches most of all balance, timing, coordination, and endurance…”
— Bob Hoffman, York Barbell

Not to mention exceptional thoracic and shoulder mobility and resilience. The bent press is also a surprisingly powerful lat developer. It is a perfect postural antidote to hollow position training. For an advanced minimalist, the bent press is the go-to drill, which covers many bases.

A great way to reestablish the tightness for the jerk is re-cleaning kettlebells before each jerk: the so-called “long cycle clean-and-jerks” or simply “long cycles.”

The long cycle, while being even more brutal than the jerk alone, happens to be safer because it keeps “reloading” your muscles. It is harder to generate leg drive from a wider stance; deal with it.

Long cycles are as hard as exercises get, due to the heavy weights and a long distance the bells have to travel. Vorobyev (1978) has investigated the energy expenditure in different lifts and exercises practiced by weightlifters: snatches, C&Js, presses, power cleans, back and front squats, etc. He found C&Js to be the most energetically demanding. Peary Rader knew it a quarter of a century earlier: “If you think a heavy squat program is work just try high reps “puff and pant” clean and jerks. The clean and jerk involves nearly every muscle in the body—more so than any other exercise we know of.”

“Strength is a decidedly individual pursuit. You may have a coach and training partners, but when it comes down to it, it is between you and the iron. Do not be afraid to be alone with the iron.” — Pavel
