I have been an online coaching client of Chris for the past two years. I’ve been competing in powerlifting for roughly the last 8 years, and while I always did pretty good programming myself, my training really took off when I started working with Chris. I got connected with Chris after the 2017 USAPL Raw Nationals. He liked a video on my Instagram and after seeing the number of people at that meet that had coaches I decided I needed to get a coach to take my lifting to the next level. Chris listens to feedback well and I thoroughly trust his judgement when it comes to the program. He’s not afraid to tell me if something is a bad idea and I always feel like he has put me on the best path for success. He is also an accomplished meet handler and I have had the privilege of experiencing that at Raw Nationals and the Arnold. Since working with Chris I have been able to accomplish the following:

• 2 MN State Records in the Bench and Deadlift – 105 KG

• 1st Place at the 2018 USAPL MN Twin Cities Open – 105 KG

• Prime Time and 6th place at 2018 USAPL Raw Nationals – 105 KG

• 2nd Best Overall Male Lifter at the APF/AAPF Twin Cities Barbell Holiday Throw Down V, Won $750 – 110 KG

• 3rd Place at the 2019 Arnold – A7 Raw Challenge – 105 KG

• 2nd Best Overall Male Lifter at the 2019 Arnold – A7 Raw Challenge, Won $500

• 1st Place and Best Overall Male Lifter at the 2019 USAPL MN Twin Cities Open 105 KG

I think the results that I have been able to achieve speak to the effectiveness of his programming and I will continue to have Chris as my coach in the years to come. We are working together to continually modify my programming and working towards finding the perfect program for me. I don’t feel like I have ever gotten a ‘cookie cutter’ program, and it has always been custom to my needs
