Get stronger with a system, not a template

I dig into your goals and coach you one-on-one. Your training and nutrition get reviewed every week against what you actually did. Not a one-off PDF — a coach in your corner.

About me

I've been lifting for about 12 years. My own training is a powerlifting–bodybuilding hybrid: the main lifts run on wave-loaded strength progression, everything else is there to build muscle.

Right now I'm preparing for the CMS (Candidate Master of Sport) standard in raw powerlifting, 93 kg class. Clients with competition goals train on the same system I use myself. For everyone else, the system is built around the goal — strength, physique or fat loss.

My goals and numbers are public, and you can follow my prep on Instagram. I coach remotely in English and Russian.

How it works

One training block runs 12–14 weeks. The plan doesn't sit still, though: before every new week I review it against your results.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Free, by message or call — whichever suits you. We talk through your goal and whether this format fits.

    Questionnaire

    Body measurements, health and limitations, how much time you have, nutrition details, goals.

  3. 03

    Your plan

    Analysis, training program, nutrition plan and how to track progress — with the reasoning behind each part.

  4. 04

    Train and log

    You train and log your weights, reps, how you felt and how you recovered.

  5. 05

    Weekly adjustments

    Before each new week I update the program based on your actual numbers and feedback.

FAQ

How many sessions a week?

As many as genuinely fit your life. I set the number from your questionnaire — your goal, recovery and the time you actually have. The program fits your schedule, not the other way round.

Is this for beginners?

Yes. We start where you are: technique is built step by step, I review your videos frame by frame, and the difficulty grows with you. Experienced lifters get the same system with competition-style periodization.

What if I don't have access to a proper gym?

Tell me what you've got — a home gym, a hotel gym, a basic commercial gym. I build the program around the equipment you have.

How do the weekly updates work?

You log your weights, reps, how you felt and how you recovered. Before the next week I go through your log and feedback and adjust the load. At set checkpoints your working weights are recalculated from your current form — no unnecessary max testing.

What do you need from me?

An honest questionnaire, logged sessions, videos of your sets when I need to check technique, and feedback. The rest is my job.

Can I train with an injury?

I adapt the program around old injuries and problem areas. Medical questions go to a doctor, and I follow their recommendations.

How do I pay?

Message me and we'll find a method that works for you. Payment is monthly, upfront.
