“...I came to him with a chronic back injury. Steven gave me drills to help me recover and created a program tailored to me. Working with him has helped me find my passion for lifting again. …”
Foster Sweetnam
“...With his help, I went from not being able to squat a red with significant pain to matching my best singles within a couple of months…”
Jesse Tran
“…I have worked with him for over 8 months and we have made incredible progress. Not only in my strength but also as an overall lifter. We were able to increase my total by over 130 pounds injury free…”
Spencer Mann
“…What I like about having Steven as a coach is his speedy response time. These responses are well thought out and keep me level headed, making sure I don’t overthink little things with my training…”
Andrew Dinh
“...He has always been extremely attentive to my training, life factors, as well as any and all other variables. I’m nowhere near his strongest athlete but I always felt that I was being heard and given just as much care as his strongest athletes in his roster…”
Cole Ivarson
“…I feel like over my 2 years of getting coached by Steve, I have gained a lot of everything, from strength, to technique, and even knowledge of the sport in general…”
Gunnar Gronski
“… I started with a 525 lb. squat, a very ugly 315 lb. bench and had never even gotten close to a 500 lb. deadlift. As of right now, my all-time best lifts are a 640 lb. squat, a 425 lb. bench and a 677 lb. deadlift…”
Vince Dela Cruz
“…Having him in my corner has been the best decision I’ve ever made in my powerlifting career. His knowledge for the sport is unmatched, he cares deeply about the development of his athletes, and his charismatic and kind nature leaves a lasting impression on everyone he comes across…”
Jason Potter
“…The mental check-ins are also a plus. Steven makes sure I’m right in the head and shows me that he cares and that it’s not all about powerlifting at the end of the day…”
