Beginner looking for online coach.

[Slic3y]

Hi there, I'm thomas 19yo, 6"2, 93kg. I've been fooling around with a barbell for about 8 months now. It's something that's really grown on me and this new years I want to get a lot more serious about it. I would eventually like to be at a power lifting level. Even know they don't compete where I'm from. It's more of a hobby to me. I want be stronger in the gym than anyone else.

What I ask:

Someone who has preferably competed in a power lifting competition and knows what they are doing.
Communication via email or Skype.
Someone who will take the time to workout what's best for me. And adjust anything that needs adjusting.
Someone who has trained others is preferred.


What I can offer:
On time payment via paypal
Whatever you throw at me ill give it my best.

Limitations:

I just have a rack with barbell bench, pull up bars and a pulley.


Cheers, and can't wait for your replies

I charge $5,000 for 12 months of email/Skype correspondence.

Honestly, if you are willing to pay someone I would look up a well known powerlifter that offers online coaching, or talk to Hamburgertrain.

Not sure if there is anyone on this site that does that, but some people that you might want to look into (i would personally consider these people if i had the $$$$ for a coach)

-Clint Darden (check out his youtube page to see how he helps clients, etc.) http://www.clintdarden.com/ (scroll down bottom to see link to youtube channel, also know for a fact that he skypes all his clients

-Brian Carrol http://briangcarroll.com/

-Matt Kroc http://www.mattkroc.com/shop/

I heard really good things about the first 2, the last one has only been offering his coaching services for like 6 months, but is a World Record PLer, that is very knowledgable.

Email alll 3 of them and see what you think they can do for you and then make a decision (since you are a beginner though i think the first 1 would be most beneficial.)

you have a lot of coaches here(bb.com powerlifting forum) that do not charge, provided you don't post stupid threads and videos and follow the general guidelines

[SPFjudge]

I considering telling him this but i dont think it will help him, he is looking for 1 on 1 coaching, and since he is a beginner he will have a tons of questions. He will want the same person answering his every question and that probably wont happen on a public forum and then there is the people who give horrible advice or criticize the OP for making the thread.

well if he reads the stickies and all the info in them a lot of his questions should theoretically be answered.

beyond that posting a log would be huge

I have worked with Clint in the past, and can recommend him.

Agreed, he should just buy mark rippetoes starting strength book and run that for a while then think about a coach, but to each his own. Some people like to search and learn by theirselves, others like to be taught and told what to do.
