Whether we work online or in-person, I analyze your biomechanics, review your lifting form via video, and calibrate your macros weekly based on your actual progress. My job is to move you from just 'working out' to actual, disciplined training that fits your life, not the other way around. Transformation isn't about one lucky break; it is about 'riyaaz'—a daily, disciplined practice. My journey from 147kg to a strength coach taught me that motivation is fickle, but consistency is a system. ### Why My Approach Is Different I don't believe in crash diets. If you are training with me, we focus on three pillars: physical activity, calculated nutrition, and sleep. My coaching is built on data and biomechanics, not guesswork. * **For Online Clients:** You aren't getting a PDF file and a 'good luck.' You get form audits, weekly video check-ins, and adjustments to your calorie and macro targets based on your weight and performance data. * **For In-Person Clients:** We meet in the gym to master the heavy compound lifts—squats, deadlifts, and presses. I am there to spot you, correct your form in real-time, and make sure you are hitting failure safely. ### What You Get My coaching is based on my CSCS expertise and my own decade of trial and error. I teach you the 'why' behind every exercise and meal. You learn how to handle social events, manage your macros, and train efficiently, whether you are at a commercial gym or home. If you are looking for a coach to pamper you, I am not the one. But if you are ready to put in the work and stop making excuses, let's get started. ## About Pravar Srivastava I’m not here to sell you a 6-week fix. I’m here to teach you how to train, eat, and build the kind of discipline that sticks around when motivation vanishes. I’ve lived the 147kg struggle, and I know exactly what it takes to climb out.
