After some time away from training and rebuilding my lifting habit, I knew it was time to find a coach I trusted to help me continue progressing. Jacob had already built up a team of trainees who made tremendous progress and qualified for big meets and that was something I wanted to work toward and be capable of as well. In just under a year of coaching from Jacob, I have made huge strides in my mental approach to training in addition to the objective load on the bar. I have reached strength levels I used to dream about and all this has made me realize is that I’m just scratching the surface.

Jacob is attentive, poised and incredibly patient. He really understands the process of training and what good progression actually means. Jacob has competed at high levels in powerlifting and is part of elite communities, so his experience runs deep. During our bimonthly strategy calls I have a chance to communicate how training is going and Jacob listens intently and incorporates the observations from those conversations into my programming. As a result, leading into my most recent meet in March 2024, we found a formula that worked very well leading to a 50lb total PR.

If you need a coach who is personable, experienced and committed to helping you grow, it’s time to develop your strength with conviction. Join the Iron Sovereignty team!
