Why it hasn’t worked
  • You know how to train. You did it for years. The problem is the eleven other things that now come first.
  • Every program you find assumes six days a week and no commute, no kids and no deadline.
  • You start well, miss a week, and the whole block falls apart because nothing was built to absorb a missed week.
  • Nobody has ever told you why a session is written the way it is, so when life forces a change, you have no basis to make one.
What you actually get

Coaching, not a PDF.

Everything below is included every month. No upsells, no tier you have to upgrade into.

01

A program built for your week

Written around the days you actually have, the equipment you actually own, and the injuries you actually carry. Rewritten every four weeks.

02

Delivered in Manifest Athletics

My own training app. Your sessions, demo videos, logging and history in one place, not a spreadsheet and not a PDF in your downloads folder.

03

Weekly check-in

You send the week's numbers and how it felt. I read it and adjust the next week. This is the part that makes it coaching.

04

Monthly video call

Thirty minutes to review the block, look at your lifts on video, and decide what the next four weeks are for.

05

Message access

Gym's packed and the rack is taken? Message me. You get an answer the same day, not next Monday.

06

The reasoning, every time

Each block comes with a short note explaining what it's driving and why. You should be able to make your own call when the week goes sideways.

Inside the app

This is what a week looks like.

A real four-day week for someone training around a full-time job. Tap through it.

Week 3 · Hypertrophy block
4 days

Lower: heavy

Mechanical tension52 min
Back squat4 × 5 @ RPE 8Add 5 lb from last week if all sets moved at 8 or below.
Romanian deadlift3 × 8 @ RPE 7Stop the set the moment your lower back rounds. That's the rep count, not the number written.
Bulgarian split squat3 × 10 / legWeaker leg first, and the strong leg matches it.
Standing calf raise3 × 15Three-second lower. Rushing this wastes the set.
Why this dayHeavy, low-rep work in the 4 to 6 range is where mechanical tension is highest. This is the day that actually builds the squat, so protect it, and skip the accessories before you skip the first lift.

Illustrative week. Your program is written from your assessment, not from this template.

How it works
  1. 1

    Apply

    Ten questions, about four minutes. It's a real filter. I take a small number of clients and I'd rather turn you down than take your money and do a poor job.

  2. 2

    We talk

    A thirty-minute call. Your history, what's failed before, what your week genuinely allows. If I'm not the right fit I'll say so on the call.

  3. 3

    Assessment and build

    You send movement video and your current numbers. I write your first four-week block and load it into Manifest.

  4. 4

    Train, check in, adjust

    You train. You check in weekly. Every four weeks the program is rewritten against what actually happened, not against what the template says week five should be.

Why me

I program from mechanism

Under the bar since 2008, and every block I write is driven by something specific (tension, damage, metabolic stress) that I can name and explain to you.

I publish the reasoning

I write about the physiology in the open. You can read exactly how I think before you pay me a cent. Very few coaches will let you do that.

I built the app

Manifest Athletics is mine. I'm a software engineer as well as a coach. When the tool needs to do something for your training, I change the tool.

Proof

I’m not going to show you someone else’s before-and-after.

Online coaching is full of transformation photos belonging to people the coach never trained. I’d rather tell you the truth: I’m opening this coaching programme now, and the founding group is how the results on this page get made.

Six founding clients. Reduced price, locked for as long as you stay. What I ask in return is that you actually do the work, check in every week, and let me publish your numbers honestly, both the ones that moved and the ones that didn’t.

Not ready yet

Take a four-week block for free.

The same structure you just tapped through, written for four days a week and a commercial gym. No call, no application, just the program and the reasoning behind it. If it works for you, you’ll know where to find me.

Questions
Is this for me if I'm starting from nothing?
Yes, and it's often easier. What matters is that you can commit to three or four sessions a week and tell me the truth in the check-in. If you've never trained, the first block is about building the capacity to train hard later, not about training hard now.
What if I travel, or miss a week?
Your program is built to absorb that. Tell me in the check-in and I'll adjust rather than have you try to catch up, because catching up is how people get hurt. Travel weeks get a hotel-gym or bodyweight version.
What equipment do I need?
Whatever you have. A commercial gym is ideal, a home rack and dumbbells works fine, and I've written useful blocks for people with adjustable dumbbells and a doorway pull-up bar. The assessment asks exactly what you have access to.
Is this nutrition coaching too?
Not primarily. I'll set habit and protein targets within my scope, and if your goal needs more than that I'll tell you plainly and point you to a registered dietitian. Training is what I do well.
Can I train with you in person?
In Dallas, yes. Ninety-minute sessions at $75, added on top of coaching. Outside Dallas it's online only, which is genuinely most of what I do now.
What happens if I want to stop?
You cancel. It's month to month, there's no notice period, and you won't have to get on a call to do it. You keep every program I've written for you.
