Real Results, Not Promises

Ulfr Molette, 34, teacher and strongman competitor

"I couldn't go down stairs when I joined, now I'm contending for a world record. I know Ari will make me a champion."

Plateaued completely - chronic fatigue had fried his CNS, and knee pain kept him from walking down stairs. In 4 months: zero knee pain, energy back to normal, a new dumbbell state record, and 30kg/66lb added to his deadlift (280kg/617lb), 15kg/33lb to his overhead press (170kg/375lb), 20kg/44lb to his bench (200kg/441lb), and 20kg/44lb to his squat (240kg/529lb).

"I learned so much about training with Ari, fixing my shoulder was just a bonus."

Repetitive shoulder pain stopped him from properly pressing, and poor technique capped him at a 140kg/309lb deadlift for 8 reps, and a 200kg/440lb 1RM. In 6 months: shoulder pain resolved, pressing 91kg/200lb overhead, deadlifting 140kg/309lb for 20 reps with a new 1RM of 229kg/505lb, significant form and technique improvement across all lifts.

"Having Ari as a coach changed the way I see training, so happy I made this choice."

Ulnar nerve impingement had stalled his program completely. In 5 months: first pain-free 100kg/220lb bench press, deadlift up 30kg/66lb (160kg/353lb to 190kg/419lb), clean pain-free form, and 5kg/11lb of muscle gained (with 5kg/11lb of fat lost as a bonus on top).

Jake Sheppard, 30, Army medic

"I was honestly surprised by the progress I made, I didn't expect it to be so... potent."

Plateaued with lower back pain on deadlifts - 111kg/245lb bench, 184kg/405lb deadlift, 125kg/275lb squat at 73kg/160lb bodyweight. In 6 months: gained 7kg/15lb of lean muscle, 188kg/415lb squat, 147kg/325lb bench, 200kg/440lb deadlift, and a 98kg/215lb strict overhead press. Zero back pain.

Johnny Custer, 36, parts specialist

"I can work and move with my shoulder now. Thank you for giving me my life back."

Hadn't pressed anything overhead in 4 years due to a torn labrum - an injury limiting basic daily activities, housework, and his job. In 3 months: pressing regularly again, full overhead range of motion reclaimed, and his first 184kg/405lb deadlift in years.

Jonas Loreen, 32, teacher and CrossFitter

"Ari taught me so much about training, strength, recovery... best choice ever."

No time to train, completely plateaued. In 3 months, training just 4 hours a week: deadlift +20kg/44lb (180kg/397lb), bench +25kg/55lb (115kg/254lb), squat +40kg/88lb (160kg/353lb), clean & jerk +20kg/44lb (100kg/220lb), noticeably more efficient in metcons, improved endurance, and 6kg/13lb of lean mass gained.

Paul Reimann, 38, CFO and CrossFitter

"Coach Ari is someone you 100% want on your corner."

Stuck with poor form and lower back and knee pain limiting his lifts. In 6 months: form corrected across all lifts, front squat +20kg/44lb, power clean +30kg/66lb, bench +20kg/44lb, back squat +30kg/66lb, and 5kg/11lb of lean mass gained.

Ralf Dirttert, 41, project manager

Already working with a coach when we started, but too much volume and too little actual coaching had left him plateaued. In 6 months: learned Olympic lifting and gymnastics from the ground up, added 30-50kg/66-110lb across all his compound lifts - and dropped 20kg/44lb along the way as a welcome side effect.

Tomislav Vampatich, 24, retail - former powerlifter

Had quit powerlifting due to a shoulder injury. In 3 months: shoulder fully resolved, squatted for the first time in years, added 30kg/66lb to his deadlift, bench pressing bodyweight for reps pain-free - and lost 10kg/22lb along the way.

Younger than our usual client - proof the method holds even outside the typical 30-45 range, when someone's serious about the work.

Carlos Lopez, 40, engineer and strongman competitor

"I benched 20lb over my bodyweight for 11 reps today. Couldn't bench half of this for a single 4 months ago."

Completely plateaued - both patella tendons inflamed, shoulder impingement, elbow pain, and hip sciatica all at once. In 3 months: every injury resolved, training consistently again, closing in on new PBs, and now training toward a strongman competition.
