Competition Victories: Records & National Gold Medals
Talk is cheap. On the platform, the numbers tell the truth. These medals and records are the result of years of grinding in the gym, proving that hard work doesn't lie.

About Competition Victories: Records & Medals
Every record you see here—my 407.5 kg squat, the 317.5 kg deadlift—was not just about raw power. It was about programming: calculating the exact opener, managing fatigue, and staying calm under the pressure of a national platform. When you train with me, I do not just teach you to lift heavy, I teach you how to compete.
Beyond the Weight
Powerlifting is not just about moving the bar. It is a mental battle. I have been competing since 2009, and I have seen athletes stronger than me fail because they lacked a competition strategy. Whether it is raw vs equipped powerlifting, the principles remain the same: discipline and precision.
My Competition Approach
I prepare my athletes for the reality of meet day. This involves:
- Strategic Programming: We design your macro-cycle for hypertrophy, strength, and peaking. You do not show up guessing; you show up ready.
- Attempt Selection: Knowing your opener, second, and third lift is the difference between a podium finish and a disqualification. I calculate these based on your training data.
- Mental Toughness: I have competed with a 102-degree fever and come back from career-ending injuries. Bajrang Bali ki kripa se, I have learned to stay composed. We train your mind to handle the platform fear.
Why Train With Me
Sab waqt ka khel hai (everything is a game of timing) and mehnat (hard work). I don't give you shortcuts. I give you the same technical analysis, gear consultation, and programming that took me to the national level. If you are serious about breaking records and want to see how a national champion trains, the platform is waiting. No excuses, just results.
