Brandon is a thoughtful and dedicated online coach. I came to Brandon after having undergone cervical spinal fusion surgery. After powerlifting and training hard for years, my surgeon told me I was not allowed to lift more than 100 lbs (including the bar) and I could not lift overhead. I didn’t know how I would continue to train until the restriction was removed. This was no problem for Brandon. He came up with a fantastic program for me that kept me in the gym, kept me training, and kept me fit. As I healed-up and the weight restrictions came off, Brandon helped me build back up, and I am able to deadlift over 400 pounds again and am squatting more than I ever have.

Better still, I feel stronger and less beat-up from training than I used to before I started using Brandon’s programs. With Brandon’s help, I am now training for my first powerlifting meet and am looking forward to new PRs.

I first met Brandon in the winter of 2013, around the time Purdue Barbell started and at the very beginning of my competitive powerlifting experience. The FIRST DAY I ever met him, he cleared up all my most glaring squat-problems and deadlifted 500 lbs in a regular workout in a commercial gym with a horrible bar. Ever since then, things have only been MORE impressive. Having experienced Brandon’s personalized programming myself, I can say, without a doubt, that he can and will take you to the next level. Even further, as the Founder and President of Purdue Barbell, I can say I’ve seen him work with many more than myself. He brings together a personable character and a knowledgeable expertise.

All of his programming and coaching is rooted in science, but, more importantly, has been tested in the trenches by himself and at least several of his clients. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Brandon, both as an athlete myself, but also as the leader of Purdue Barbell.
