2021 Raw IPF Squat & Deadlift World Record Holder

Arian helped me unlock potential I didn't realize was possible.

I’ve been working with Arian Khamesi since October 2017. He’s coached me through 2 National Championships, 3 Arnold Championships, and 1 Pan-American Championships. He has helped me set the American record in the deadlift at 4 of those Championships, and the IPF World record at the NAPF Pan-American Championships in Costa Rica in 2019.

Over the years, Arian has always been available when I needed him, and I needed him A LOT. He has shown patience and understanding when I get stressed during meet prep, and helped me unlock potential I didn’t realize was possible.

I am currently coached by Jonathan Chua and the journey has been nothing short of amazing so far.

I first joined The Strength Guys as an athlete right after a short break from lifting due to the Pandemic lock down in 2020. I am currently coached by Jonathan Chua and the journey has been nothing short of amazing so far. Having just graduated from University, I had many uncertainties in life and changes in priorities. Jonathan helped me navigate and plan my trainings so that it blends with with my demanding schedule. He always encourages us to first “live life and have fun”, and to enjoy the process of strength training.

Having been dealt with minor injuries such as knee pain and general bodily fatigue, Jonathan constantly seek ways and methods to access my discomfort, and prescribe rehabilitative exercises on top of my training to ensure that I’m at peak performance. Although my lifting journey isn’t the smoothest, I am forever grateful for Jonathan’s guidance and support in my lifting goals, as a coach, a mentor, and a great friend. As they say, “A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.

My form has drastically improved, and with that also came huge PRs.

I’ve been working with Vanessa since 2019. My form has drastically improved, and with that also came huge PRs. Her attention to detail sets you up for success in competition. Not only is Vanessa knowledgeable, it’s her passion for the sport that sets her apart and makes me want to do better every day.

Cassie

I would recommend TSG to anyone who is looking to get detailed, goal oriented, and intelligent programming and coaching in order to reach the highest level of competition that they are capable of.

I first reached out to The Strength Guys in June of 2021 because I wanted more direction and expertise in terms of form, execution and training progression. I chose TSG because I have heard and seen them in the industry even in my short time/experience powerlifting and I saw that they coached many high level and accomplished lifters.I really enjoy Vanessa’s coaching because she gives me detailed feedback, including analyzing the videos I send her each week in depth, she is responsive to all my questions, and helps motivate me by showing me the progress I’ve already made, as well as my potential. In just under 7 months working with Vanessa, I was able to add 66 pounds to my meet total, all while becoming a more technical lifter.
