SQUAT.
Bracing, stance, bar position, depth and a repeatable set-up suited to the lifter.


POWERLIFTING COACHING · ASCOT VALE
Build the three lifts with stronger positions, purposeful programming and coaching that makes the next adjustment clear.
STRENGTH YOU CAN REPEAT
Powerlifting rewards force, but it also exposes weak positions, poor set-up and programming that asks for too much at the wrong time.
George coaches the squat, bench press and deadlift with attention to the person lifting—not a single textbook style. The aim is to make each lift more repeatable, place training stress where it belongs and organise the week so strength can develop.
WHAT THE COACHING FOCUSES ON
Coaching turns the broad goal into practical decisions you can repeat, review and progress.
Bracing, stance, bar position, depth and a repeatable set-up suited to the lifter.
Stable positions, consistent touch point, bar path and the strength needed to finish the lift.
A controlled start position, efficient force transfer and programming that respects fatigue.
Frequency, volume, intensity and variations chosen around current strengths and limitations.
WHO THIS SUITS
You do not need to arrive as an expert. The plan should reflect where you are now and what you are ready to build.
Newer lifters who want to learn the three competition lifts properly from the beginning.
Gym members moving from general strength training into more specific powerlifting work.
Experienced powerlifters who want a technical review or a more coherent training block.
