About
Competitive powerlifter turned full-time coach. I've spent twelve years under the bar and eight coaching lifters from their first meet to national platforms.
My programs are built around the big three with intelligent accessory work — no junk volume, no ego lifting. Every block is planned, every top set has a purpose, and we review your videos together so your technique earns you kilos instead of leaving them on the platform.
Video intro
Services
Full 12–16 week peaking block: programming, weekly video review, attempt selection, and meet-day handling.
Ongoing individualized programming with form checks and weekly adjustments — for lifters not chasing a platform yet.
One-off deep dive on your squat, bench, and deadlift videos with a written correction plan.

Client results
Carmen came to me stuck at the same total for two years. We rebuilt her squat from the bottom up, fixed her bench setup, and she qualified for nationals in her second meet with me.
Miguel started strength training at 42. Three years of patient progressive overload later, he pulled 180 kg at a bodyweight of 80 — proof it is never too late to get strong.

Common questions
Do I need competition experience to work with you?
No — about half my roster has never competed. You need a barbell, a rack, and the willingness to film your sets. Everything else we build together.
How often do programs update?
Weekly. I review your training videos and logs every weekend and adjust the next week's loads and accessories accordingly.
Can you coach me through Deft only, or do we call?
Everything runs through Deft — your plan, your logs, my adjustments. Meet-prep clients also get a video call before attempt selection.
