Three days. Heavy, light, medium.

You do not need five days a week or a perfect plan. You need a simple routine you can repeat for months. Three days to start. Four days or more when you are ready.

Train

Three full-body workouts a week: one heavy day, one light day, one medium day. Bands and bodyweight exercises can be included too. The 6 week challenge will be built around your equipment and goals.

Eat

Measure and track your food, learn your macros, and make small changes. Plain-language calories and macros, no extreme diets.

Be consistent

Show up to every workout. Progress comes from consistency. I will support you along the way. Just follow the footprints in the sand, see you on the beach.

The free 6-week challenge

Three workouts a week, food tracked every day, and one goal: show up for all 18 workouts. I'm not promising any result. I'm promising a clear plan and someone doing it with you.

Hi, I'm Robert

I started training because I wanted to build muscle and lose fat, plus I wanted to get stronger. Father time is undefeated and you start to feel it as you age. I've been lifting on and off for 8 years, and I coached high school and youth wrestling and cross country for many years.

I'll be on this journey too. I've trained in a commercial gym as well as in my garage for the past 3 years, with basic equipment, to show that you don't need a fancy gym to make progress. But if you have access to a commercial gym, that works too.

  • Down over 35 lbs in about 3 months
  • Working toward 12-15% body fat
  • Possible Men's Physique show in the future?

Questions

Do I need a gym?

No. I train in my garage with a bench, a barbell with plates, and a cable station. Bands and bodyweight exercises work too. That said, a gym is nice and I recommend it if you have one. Commercial gyms have more machine and cable options than most home gyms.

I'm a beginner. Is this for me?

Yes. The plan starts with three full-body days a week for building muscle, plus a 15 minute measured cardio session four times a week. I tailor the plan to you, using whatever equipment you have available.

What does the free challenge cost?

Nothing. It is six weeks of workouts, learning to measure and track your food, and support along the way.

What does coaching cost?

Pricing is shared on a short call. Text (209) 730-3399 to set one up. Payment plans are available. You can cancel any time; if you cancel in the first 14 days you get a refund minus any weeks already coached.

Is this medical advice?

No. I'm not a doctor or a registered dietitian. If you have an injury, a health condition, or take medication, talk to your doctor before you start.

Where do you train people?

I'm based in Galt, California. Coaching is online, and I'm willing to train clients in the surrounding area in person. In-person sessions are by appointment only.

Where to find me
