My coaching is based on the teaching methods outlined in the book Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training, 3rd Edition. I love barbells as a training implement because they are infinitely scalable — no matter how “weak” you may be at first, we can find a place to start, and through incremental increases (following principles of progressive overload), anyone can achieve measurable improvement in a relatively short time-frame.

I begin everyone on four main barbell lifts: the squat, the overhead press, the bench press, and the deadlift. Over time, you’ll learn new exercise variations (depending on your goals), but the focus is on simplicity, technique, and hard work. Exercise selection is based on trainability (can you measurably improve/get stronger) and efficiency (can we get the best “bang for your buck,” so to speak) over the long term, rather than on what will get you hot and sweaty today.
