About

My evolution
as an athlete

In 2015, I started weight training with the goal of building muscle. I was far from imposing in size. (55kg at 1m70). After about a year and a half without really progressing, due to a lack of knowledge and a real, intelligent program, my performances were:

Squat 80kg, Bench 50kg, and Deadlift 120kg for a bodyweight of 58kg

It was with a real program that I finally started making progress, and today, 9 years later, my best performances are:

Squat 227.5kg, Bench 150kg, and Deadlift 305kg in my Senior -74kg category.

I love Powerlifting because it's a numbers sport. The kilos on the bar are cold. Either you're strong enough or you're not; the loads won't lower themselves to your level, it's you who will have to improve. It's a sport in which it's easy to quantify data and play with it to fine-tune the program as well as possible, to keep pushing our limits ever further.

My journey as a coach

After spending years researching, reading, listening, absorbing, testing on myself… I realized that there was no coach in France who matched the values I associated with Powerlifting training.

So at the end of 2017 I decided to start coaching about ten people, free of charge, immediately seeking to push my athletes to surpass themselves. I also cared, right from the start, about building intelligent programming, as professional as possible, and always striving for excellence in the services I offer. Very quickly, seeing how much they were progressing, these people advised me to start commercializing my services and to take on more people.

Since then, I've earned my state diploma as a sports coach, and I've had the chance to work with hundreds of different profiles, whether virtually or in person. Some of my athletes are also members of my own powerlifting club (the One Rep Club), so I'm able to coach them in competition.

I've now been training people who want to improve physically for over 7 years, whether through aesthetics or performance. I have always done, and will always do, everything possible to help the people who trust me progress as well as they can. For more details on my services, head over to the coaching and follow-up page.

Why trust me?

I invest 100% with every athlete who works with me. Your level won't affect our relationship. Only your motivation and your commitment matter to me. I've had the chance to work with hundreds of profiles. I've been able to test many methods; I know what works, what doesn't, and I know how to periodize training according to different profiles and different challenges.

I make personalization and active listening a top priority. If you have specific goals outside of pure Powerlifting, the program will obviously be adjusted accordingly. I'll analyze your bone and muscle structure, as well as your posture, to build your program, and I'll also personalize your warm-ups and stretches according to your own specific issues.

I make myself available every day to correct your executions, answer your questions, adjust your programming in case of the unexpected, and to build a strong bond with my athletes, beyond the coach/athlete relationship. Communication is a key factor in coaching working well. If you have a problem, we need to talk about it to find a suitable solution! All my athletes can also ask me for my number to reach me in case of a problem.

I never stop learning. I've understood that no one has all the answers, and I know my opinion will never be a single, irrefutable truth. I keep devouring books on training, running experiments, and learning from every profile I get the chance to work with.

It's your trust that allows me to make a living from my passion. It's simple. If I'm lucky enough today to make a living from my coaching, it's thanks to your trust in my services. And I have ABSOLUTELY NO reason to want to break that trust.
