Your coach

Patrick Rice

I don't just write programs. I'm a competitive strongman athlete who took 2nd place at USS Strongman Nationals, a former nationally ranked powerlifter, and I've been training for more than 20 years.

I have a BS in Kinesiology from SUNY Cortland and I'm NSCA-CPT certified. Every online program is written and reviewed by me, the same way I coach my clients in the gym.

Questions

FAQ

Anything else? Call or text (516) 524-3420.

Can you help me prepare for a meet?

Yes. Send me your meet date and federation, and your training will be planned around it, including peaking and a plan for meet day.

Do you help with attempt selection?

Yes. We plan your openers and attempts together based on how your training has gone.

I've never competed. Can I start?

Yes. Plenty of lifters start online coaching to get ready for their first meet. We'll make sure your lifts meet the standards and you know what to expect.

How does lift video review work?

Film your sets from the side and upload them in the app. I'll send back cues on what to fix and what to keep doing.

What equipment do I need?

A barbell, plates, a rack and a bench. A commercial gym or a home gym both work.

Is there a contract?

No. Online coaching is month to month.
