Matt was my introduction to Starting Strength. I showed up for an open house and he showed me how to deadlift. His explanation of the lift was done in a way that was easy for a complete beginner to understand. He also coached me for my intro session and the experience was the same. Matt explained the squat and press in a way that was easy to grasp. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Matt and he is a great coach and great to work with.
Matt was my starting strength coach for a year and a half. With Matt I was able to go up in my deadlifts to 485 before I actually switched over to rackpulls. My squat went up to 375. Matt ensured I was successful with my lifts and allowed the grinds to happen as well and rarely if ever let me fail my squat or deadlifts lifts before he modified my program. Matt is a great trainer and would recommend him to anyone who wants to perform the right mechanics to each lift and simply get strong in the process. I owe so much of my knowledge in lifting to Matt’s instruction.
I can highly recommend Matt as an experienced SS coach from my time as an intermediate-level senior, on-line client. Matt knows his stuff, he’s professional, a clear and concise communicator, able to adjust for my capabilities and shortcomings, helped me train through a previously acquired injury. I was confident in his cuing and feedback, and programming decisions. He got me stronger. Money well spent. Wish I had his coaching a year or two ago as I worked in novice and intermediate levels. Wish he could coach me in-person.
