Who this is for

You’re a lifter. You got hurt, or you’re stuck in that grey zone where it’s technically “healed” but the bar still feels wrong.

You’ve tried the usual advice. Rest it. Stop deadlifting. Do some clamshells. And the second you loaded up again, it came right back. Classic flare-up loop.

You’re done being managed. You want this fixed, and you want to be stronger on the other side of it. That’s my people.

Who this is not for

  • ✕You want someone to tell you to rest and wait it out.
  • ✕You’re hunting for the cheapest option, not the one that works.
  • ✕You want a template to run on your own.
  • ✕You want to keep working with another coach at the same time. I only coach people who are all in with me.
  • ✕You don’t want to hear it when you’re your own problem.

No hard feelings. Check out my free resources instead.

Why me?

Dan deadlifting 600 lbs

Three physios told me I’d never lift again after I blew out my back. So I became a physio myself, rebuilt from scratch, and pulled 600 pounds.

I’ve spent the last 16 years sharpening that plan with thousands of lifters stuck exactly where you are. That plan is this program.

Who I’m looking for

I coach a limited number of people, so I’m looking for the best to join me. You need to:

  • 1.Be able to train 3+ days a week.
  • 2.Want to get back to lifting heavy weights again.
  • 3.Be friendly and coachable.
  • 4.Be able to keep a secret.

Our model is simple

Six months · Four phases · Assess → Overcome → Build → Perform
Phase 1 · Month 1

Assess & Evaluate

Find out why your body keeps breaking down under load.

  • A personal 1:1 game plan session to set your goals and go through your movement screen results
  • A movement and load tolerance audit that runs through the first month
  • Flare-Up Pattern Analysis™
  • Capacity testing

You know exactly what’s going on, and what we’re doing about it.

Phase 2 · Months 2 to 3

Overcome

Break the flare-up cycle so you can train again without setbacks.

  • Gradual reintroduction of load
  • Remove protective patterns
  • Improve tissue tolerance
  • Rebuild confidence under load with the Traffic Light System™

Pain moves to the back seat. It stops making the decisions.

Phase 3 · Months 4 to 5

Build

Rebuild your strength so your body can handle real weight again.

  • Structured progressive overload with the 16-Lever Progression Engine™
  • Expand movement variability
  • Keep building tissue tolerance
  • Close the strength gap

The weight on the bar starts looking familiar again.

Phase 4 · Month 6

Perform

Get back to PRs without your injury holding you back.

  • Train heavy, consistently
  • PR or competition focus
  • Peak for performance
  • Full confidence under maximal load

You’re back, and you know how to stay there.

How it works

  • ✓Your customized program, built around your injury. No templates. It lives in my custom coaching app and gets updated every week.
  • ✓Weekly check-ins. You tell me how the week went. I tell you what changes and why.
  • ✓Video reviews. You film your key sets, and I review them.
  • ✓Live coaching calls. Monthly, with two in your first month.
  • ✓Me, directly. Message me any time. You’ll always hear back within 48 hours or less.
  • ✓The frameworks I use, so you can keep doing this long after we’re done.

The investment

$800 CAD / month

for 6 months

or $4,200 CAD paid in full (save $600)

6 months is how long it takes to do this properly. After that, we’ll go month to month for as long as you’re loving it and making progress. Most clients set a new goal and keep going.

If this is you, and you’re ready to get back to heavy lifting

  • 1.Apply. It takes about 5 minutes and tells me about your injury, your training, and what you’re chasing.
  • 2.I read it myself. If it looks like a fit, I’ll reach out to book a quick 15-minute fit call. If it’s not, I’ll tell you straight.
  • 3.We get to work. If we’re both in, you enrol, we book your 1:1 game plan session, and you’re off.
Apply for 1:1 coaching

P.S. As soon as you join, you’ll get set up in the app, film your movement screen, and we’ll book your 1:1 game plan session, so you’re never sitting around waiting to start.


P.P.S. Any time you put money into a coach, there’s a risk. What if it doesn’t work? What if it’s not what I said it would be? What if I’m just a guy with a nice camera and a Canadian accent? So I’ve taken the risk off your plate with three guarantees.

#1The Taco Guarantee

Not for you? Anytime in the first 14 days after your first payment, let me know and I’ll refund 100% of what you’ve paid. I’ll even throw in an extra $5 so you can grab some tacos, as a thanks for giving it an honest shot.

#2The Canadian Swagger Guarantee

Between day 15 and day 30, if you decide coaching isn’t for you, for any reason, even my Canadian swagger, that will end your agreement. You only pay for the first month, and we call it square after that.

#3The Pain-To-PR Guarantee

At the start, we set your Comeback Number together: a specific lift at a specific weight. If you do the work and haven’t hit it within six months, your payments pause and I keep coaching you for free until you do. Otherwise, you and I will be working together for free for eternity until it works.

Doing the work means logging your workouts, sending your videos, doing your check-ins, and showing up to our calls.
