Powerlifting Coaching That Gets You to the Platform
Personalized programming, expert meet-day handling, and a coach who's been in your shoes. Based in Columbia, SC — coaching athletes nationwide.
Who I Coach
First-timers
"Never stepped on a platform? I'll get you meet-ready without the guesswork."
Returning Lifters
"Stalled total or coming back from a layoff? Let's rebuild momentum with a real plan."
Competitors
"Chasing a qualifying total or a podium? Precision programming plus meet-day handling."
How It Works
Intake & Assessment
"Fill out the intake form. We talk goals, training history, schedule, and where you want to compete."
Custom training blocks
"You get 4–6 week personalized blocks, weekly check-ins, and video lift breakdowns."
Meet Day
"Attempt selection, a full meet-day plan, and me in your corner running the platform."
Meet Your Coach
I'm Josh — a powerlifting coach in Columbia, SC, coaching since 2018. I've put up a 1912.5 raw / 2044 single-ply total, and coached everyone from first-meet lifters to national-level competitors. No cookie-cutter templates — every athlete gets programming built for them.
FAq
-
Nope. Plenty of my athletes train for strength and structure, or for their "someday" first meet. But if the platform is the goal, that's my specialty — and I'll help you pick the right meet when you're ready.
-
Absolutely. I coach lifters from their very first session up to national-level totals. Beginners often make the fastest progress with good coaching, because we build technique and habits right the first time.
-
Coaching is fully online — I'm based in Columbia, SC and coach athletes nationwide through custom programming, video review, and weekly check-ins. If you're local, in-person sessions and meet-day handling can be arranged.
-
Personalized 4–6 week blocks built around your goals, schedule, and equipment. Every block includes weekly check-ins, video and lift breakdowns, and a review of the prior block so we're always adjusting to your real progress.
-
I build your attempt selection and a full meet-day plan, then handle you at the platform — warm-up timing, attempt calls, and keeping you focused so all you do is lift. Just need one meet handled without full coaching? The Handling Package covers that (5-week minimum notice).
-
The Standard Package is $100/month with a 3-month minimum — real powerlifting progress shows up over full training blocks, so three months is the floor for meaningful results. After that it's month-to-month.
