For 30 years, Portland, OR was my world.

It’s where I bought my house, built deep roots, became a climber, runner, competitive bodybuilder and powerlifter, and built a strength coaching business.

Leaving my community and saying goodbye to my clients to start over at 55 was hard enough. But doing it while watching my dad suffer through a sudden, terminal mesothelioma diagnosis, facing a terrifying heart condition with my 9-year-old dog, and prepping for the North American Powerlifting Championships was an overload I never saw coming.

The gym has always been my sanctuary. But when grief hits this hard, the body keeps the score. My strength completely disappeared. I couldn’t lift. I couldn’t fake it.

Withdrawing from Team USA and stepping away was devastating, but it was the most necessary act of strength I’ve ever performed.

Today, my dad is at peace. My dog got a pacemaker and is thriving like a puppy. I’m re-establishing my coaching business here in NY and online, and my strength is returning.

To anyone holding massive loss or transition right now: grant yourself the grace to stop fighting your body. Give yourself permission to go slow. Grief isn’t weakness—it’s human. And when you are ready to pick things back up, the strength you thought you lost will be there waiting for you. 🤍

We know heavy lifting makes us strong AF. But here is what happens off the gym floor when you stop fearing the heavy weights.

Walking into every room like you own it.

Never asking for help with the top shelf or the 50lb bag of dog food.

Shifting from “How do I look?” to What can’t I DO?”

Standing tall without thinking about it.

Playing on the floor at 40, 60, and 80.

Trading the mid-afternoon crash for real stamina.

High stress? Meet the distraction of heavy steel.

Building an internal shield against aging.

You were NEVER meant to shrink.

It’s here: Built for More Strength Collective — six months of online coached barbell training that works around your schedule, not the other way around.

This is for people with some barbell experience — you’ve squatted, benched, and deadlifted before, and you want real coaching without losing control of your week.

Train on your own schedule, at your own gym — remote coaching that meets you where you are.

A 2-day or 3-day program, rebuilt every 4 weeks across 6 phases.

Weekly group call (recorded to watch anytime) + monthly 1:1 + weekday chat, Mon–Fri.

Intelligent programming, high-level coaching, and a tight-knit community moving together towards peak strength.

Capped at 30 lifters to ensure deep individual attention.

Everyone starts on the same date for maximum group momentum.

Lock in your spot today. Inaugural cohort starts October 1.

We’ve got morning spots opening up in Portland for semi-private in person training!

Curious about the barbell or want a coach’s eye on your form? Coach Juan is ready to sign you up! Link in bio to schedule a free consult.

Juan’s favorite part of coaching is watching people realize they’re capable of more than they ever thought possible. He believes great coaching is about building confidence just as much as building strength. He currently has a few spots available for semi-private strength coaching—if you’re looking to get stronger, move better, and train with purpose, he’d love to help.

Lo que más disfruto de ser entrenador es ver a las personas descubrir que son capaces de lograr mucho más de lo que imaginaban. Creo que un buen entrenamiento no solo desarrolla fuerza, sino también confianza. Actualmente tengo algunos lugares disponibles para entrenamiento semiprivado de fuerza. Si quieres hacerte más fuerte, moverte mejor y entrenar con un propósito, me encantaría ayudarte.
