Dropping the centerpiece of my coaching — built to calibrate with your lifts, recovery, and real-world demands.

Flagship Service: Adaptive Performance Coaching
This is coaching for lifters who’ve outgrown fixed templates — where training and competition decisions adapt to what’s actually happening, not what should be happening on paper.

That includes technique decisions, guided through performance patterns, rep consistency, fatigue behavior, and cue-driven communication.
How this shows up in your training:

Programming adjusted based on performance trends, recovery, and life stress — so fatigue, missed sleep, or demanding work weeks don’t quietly derail progress.

Progress tracked across multiple signals, not just peak-day numbers — giving meaningful feedback even when load stays the same.

Volume and intensity matched to what you can recover from — protecting RPE accuracy and long-term momentum.

Intentional exercise selection to build strength, reinforce technique, and reduce overuse risk.

Clear decisions on when to push, hold, or pivot — so adjustments are proactive, not reactive.

Competition Strategy & Attempt Planning
Meet prep focused on attempt selection, attempt risk management, and momentum — built from training data.

Ongoing Check-Ins (Weekly or Monthly)
Reviewing technique trends, fatigue, challenges, training wins, block outcomes, and clear direction forward.

The goal is sustainable strength progress that fits your life —where good decisions compound instead of being undone by inflexible plans.

If you’re looking for coaching that prioritizes long-term progress, competition clarity, and better decision-making, send me a message and let’s talk.

PR total Every Meet: Mark Ranielle Dy’s Long-Term Approach. Student of the Game Podcast Part 4

Guest: Mark Ranielle Dy @markranielle

Here is the next chunk of my podcast episode with Mark Ranielle Dy. Here, we took a deep dive into his very competitive run during 2023 and 2024. This was the time when he had tight battles with notable lifters in the Philippines. We mentioned who they were and why those battles were meaningful for us. We also discussed the lessons we acquired from those battles. More importantly, we talked about how we deal with adversity during a competitive powerlifting season. Too bad we weren’t able to talk about his bench-only meets, since he also had some tight battles with some of the 83 kg benchers during this time frame.

Key Topics:

0:30 Mark Ranielle's quick summary of prominent meets in his 2023 season
2:50 Mark Dys first podium battle in a full power meet (Luzon Open 2023)
4:17 How Mark Ranielle still managed to compete and perform well despite having the flu.
7:38 Why aim for something na pwede ka mag miss?
9:48 Mark Dy’s sacrifices and character changes that led to his consistent total improvements.
13:00 Another prominent podium battle: Luzon Open 2024 first podium finish in the Open category
16:45 Why a 2.5kg increase for the next attempt is very valuable for us
21:35 The significance of his 1st podium finish in the league of the big sharks, open category
27:10 The adjustments and changes we did after this comp to make us go further beyond!
28:19 My personal thoughts about stiff sleeves
32:20 Bittersweet Meet PR: SBD Raw Nationals 2025, PR total despite an injury
34:20 My personal take on Ranielle’s resilience competing despite his injury worsening during the meet.
36:20 Why we should be careful when it comes to the negative things we say about ourselves.

Lens Ocubillo @deadliftingdonuts

In this episode I was graced with the presence of Kilo Culture's big daddy, Milenus Ocubillo, the U93kg Open National Champion at the recently held SBD Powerlifting Nationals 2026.

We discussed his best training practices that helped him recover well and maintain predictable progress.

We also talked about the training virtues that allowed him to enforce discipline and patience, especially with nutrition and load selection.

We also went into his insights on experimenting with protocols and his personal experiences with it. I truly believe this is a very insightful episode, especially if you really pay attention to Lenus' inputs. Other parts coming soon.

21:32 – Value of experimental blocks (productive or not)
28:33 – Pacing load progression (actual example)
31:41 – What maturity as a powerlifter does
