Questions people actually ask.

Will I get bulky?

No. Building the kind of muscle that reads as ‘bulky’ takes a certain genetic make-up, years of dedicated and specialized strength training, and, in many cases, anabolic steroid use — and even then, most people still cannot build that physique. What strength training does is make you look leaner, stronger, and more defined.

I’ve never lifted before. Is this for me?

Yes. Most of Robert’s clients are complete novices or “forever novices” who have never actually trained properly despite consistent gym attendance. The method is designed to teach the movements from day one.

I’ve been lifting for years. Is this for me?

Also yes. There is a strong possibility that you are a “forever novice” who has not yet been exposed to carefully planned training despite going to the gym and lifting regularly. We define experience based on measurable progress (i.e. are you stronger than you were last year? Do you have more muscle mass than you did last year?)

Truly experienced lifters also benefit from a coach who can identify weak points, learn their body quickly, and course correct to give a program that moves the ball forward. Robert has coached lifters from their first session to national-level competition.

What if I can’t do a chin-up?

Not a problem. You cannot train a range of motion the body cannot get into. We provide a lat pulldown machine to simulate the chin-up range of motion with loads lighter than your bodyweight, then progress it like any other lift until you are strong enough to pull yourself up — and you will be.

What if I can’t squat deep?

Also not a problem. Many trainers will tell you that your ankles are inflexible or that you “lack mobility.” This ignores the reality that you are likely not strong enough to support your bodyweight in the bottom position. Similar to the chin-up, you cannot train a range of motion your body cannot get into.

We use a leg press machine to train the muscles involved at the bottom of the squat with loads lighter than your bodyweight, and progress accordingly until you are strong enough to squat deep — and you will be.

What Strong & Sleek clients say.

The method works for first-day novices, experienced lifters who’ve hit a plateau, and physique-focused clients who don’t care about competing — they care about how they look, how they feel, and how they move. Same five lifts. Same nutrition framework. Different starting points.
