Evidence based
With 10 years of formal education in nutrition & exercise, hours spent working under other successful coaches, thousands of hours meticulously reading research and textbooks, and hundreds of hours spent in an actual academic lab, all of my decision making is backed by science, and evidence. To put my money where my mouth is, if you ever ask me “Why?” regarding a detail of your plan, I will ALWAYS have an evidenced based explanation.
Practically developed
Aside from my education, I have been in the coaching arena since I was a teenager. I started out in Division 1 collegiate strength & conditioning, where I quickly became in charge of my own teams.
At the same time, I began coaching friends and writing training plans and diets for free, for anyone that would take them.
Since then I have been a head strength & conditioning coach for D1 collegiate teams, assisted world class powerlifters with diet and supplementation, help national level USA Weightlifters repeatedly make weight for national meets, had clients win bodybuilding shows, and help drastically improve the general health and function of numerous clients.
My coaching philosophy is simple..
