"I hired Dale Keith because my progress as a lifter overall had stalled out. Following a traditional linear progression program on my own had worked well for a while, but eventually I found myself spinning my wheels for a couple years—trying out a variety of intermediate training templates and not really getting anywhere. In particular, I wanted to significantly improve my deadlift performance, and I wasn’t sure what to try next. I was also interested in building more muscle in my upper body, and I wasn’t certain what would work best for me nutritionally or training-wise. Dale’s approach to helping me reach my goals was evidence-based and personalized. He individualized my training and nutrition programs according to my goals, schedule, equipment, and personal preferences. And he closely monitored my progress and adjusted my programming based on how I responded to it. Working with Dale is always a pleasure. He is very responsive and extremely helpful whenever you have questions. And thanks to him, within months, my deadlift was stronger than ever. I’m now pulling weights for multiple reps that I previously couldn’t budge. With Dale’s help, I also cleaned up my squat form, which resolved a chronic elbow pain issue. And I’ve significantly increased my upper body mass while remaining within my desired body fat percentage. What I appreciate most of all, though, is that Dale helped me develop a solid understanding of the hows and whys of my programming and which strategies work best for me."
