Strength-Training Coach, done properly — from anywhere in Paço de Arcos
Strength coaching is the discipline of adding weight to the bar without adding chaos to your joints. Maddy's programming is built on the big patterns — squat, hinge, press, pull — trained in low rep ranges with loading prescribed as percentages of your current numbers, not random heavy-ish days. Blocks run in a simple periodized shape: accumulate volume, intensify, peak, deload every fourth week. Accessory work is chosen to fix your specific sticking points, which your logged sets reveal within a few weeks. Check-ins review bar-speed notes, effort ratings, and completed sets, so the next week's percentages are set from evidence rather than ego. If you have never tested a max, the first block builds technique and establishes honest training numbers safely. Whether the goal is a first bodyweight squat or a long-stalled deadlift, the path is written down and progressable.

Common questions
Do I need to know my one-rep maxes to start?
No. The first block establishes honest training numbers through submaximal work and technique coaching, and percentages are built from those.
Will heavy lifting hurt my back or knees?
Load is not the enemy; load your technique cannot handle yet is. Progression is percentage-based and earned, technique is coached before intensity climbs, and pain reports at check-ins change the plan the same week.
How fast will my lifts go up?
That depends on your training age, recovery, and consistency — which is why the plan reads your log instead of quoting you a number. Newer lifters typically progress block to block; advanced lifters fight for kilos, and the programming respects the difference.
