About me

I come from an athletic background being a competitive 100m sprinter which introduced me to explosive plyometric training. I then moved into powerlifting and continued to cross over into bodybuilding.

I focus on correct posture and technique as I have suffered from disc herniations and ruptured ligaments and I now have developed my own style of hypertrophy/ rehabilitation training to accommodate existing injuries and still gain a symmetrical physique with full mobility in all joints in all lifts.

I have coached many clients through contestant prep who have placed extremely well across all federations of bodybuilding and have 13 years personal training experience.
