What you get
Built for
strongman
Strongman isn't just lifting heavy. It's events, technique and conditioning, planned around your next contest.
Event video review
Send video of your stone loads, log cleans and carries. You get cues to fix technique and waste less energy.
Use what you have
No yoke or stones? Your program uses what you can get, like sandbags, kegs or barbell variations, to build the same strength.
Contest prep
Event practice, peaking and a plan for contest day, from your first local show to nationals.
Weekly check-ins
We go over training, recovery and how events are feeling, and your program is adjusted every week.
All in one place
Every session on your phone with sets, reps, loads and notes. Log it all and track your PRs.

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.
Do I need strongman equipment?
No. It helps, but your program is built around what you can use. Sandbags, kegs and barbell variations can build the same strength, and we'll get event practice in when you have access to implements.
Can a beginner start strongman online?
Yes. We start with the basics and build up. Video review means your technique still gets coached on every event you film.
Can you prep me for a specific contest?
Yes. Send me the contest date and events, and your training will be planned around them, including event practice and peaking.
How does event video review work?
Film your sets on your phone and upload them in the app. I'll watch them and send back cues on what to fix and what to keep doing.
Do you coach women in strongman?
Yes. I coach women at every level, and I run a women's strongman group at the gym in Carle Place.
Is there a contract?
No. Online coaching is month to month.
