I'd been lifting pretty regularly for 5+ years, mostly doing various highly dogmatic powerlifting programs (Starting Strength etc), and despite being under various coaching tutelage, I didn't feel like I was getting good results for all of my efforts. This has completely turned around since I started working with Dane.
His method basically is individual programming based on your goals and restrictions, but he pretty much programs everyone in the gym at once, despite everyone doing different things. It feels like a crossfit gym when you walk in, but everyone is doing a different workout. (and somehow he manages to keep track of everyone in his head which still baffles me)
After going there for 6 months (only once a week or so, supplemented by my own workouts when I'm away), I've put an inch on my arms, hit the elusive 3 plate deadlift, and alllmost managed a 225lb bench (soon!). And perhaps the ultimate endorsement - a bro compliment from a random dude at my Brooklyn gym saying that I was "looking big." (I am not a big dude. Also, I am comparatively old.)
Anyway, go here. You will be completely destroyed after the first few sessions, but it's worth it. read more
