I am the guy you go to when you want a coach whose gonna take huge risks that make sense based on current information, movement patterns and previous training history. I take big risks for big gains. I have a background in nutrition, worked as one of the coaches for Texas A&M for 3 years, and also ran track at a state level in Texas. I have a background in physical therapy although I dropped out, and have extensive resources to find the answer to your problem! Big thing I offer is a relationship/ friendship!

We chatted a bit about how I got into the sport, created Challenge Coaching, journey through coaching both classic and equipped, the battles my lifters are about to face at worlds, as well as some of the seemingly unconventional methods of coaching I use, my approach to training and programming & more

Podcast with Sianna A , where we discussed my two silver medal clients, Mike Slavic and Janee Kovacs at the IPF Open World Championships, as well as how I felt game day coaching on the worlds stage, why Mike Slabic dropped his final pull, and some programming and coaching discussions around self correction and when self correction should be leant into versus when it leads to issues.

I’ve been working with Alex since 2021. I’ve seen him grow and learn through the years. What I think is special about Alex, is you aren’t getting a cookie cutter coach. He fits the person he’s coaching so he can be motivating and serious, or relaxed and goofy. He works with equipped, raw, junior, and master lifters so he is very adaptable. He’s helped me get to a national level and other athletes to the worlds stage, which doesn’t happen just by luck.

Alex is one the best powerlifting coach in the sport. His top level athletes and results speaks for itself but at a personal level he has gotten me through injuries and into all time PRs time and time again.
