Whether it’s a 150kg squat or a heavy deadlift, I record your working sets and make immediate biomechanical adjustments to your form. If you’re training with me at Muscle Tech Fitness in Chikkabanavara, I’m right there to spot you, but I also provide full video analysis for my online clients to ensure every rep is safe and effective. Building raw strength isn't just about how much weight you can move; it's about how well you can move it. My programming is built around the "Big Three": the Squat, the Deadlift, and the Bench Press. These compound lifts aren't just for powerlifters; they are the foundation of any balanced, strong physique. ### Why the Focus on Compound Lifts? Isolation exercises have their place, but nothing builds full-body power like a heavy squat or a deadlift. These lifts recruit the maximum number of muscle fibers, boost testosterone naturally, and improve your functional strength for daily life. When you master these, everything else gets easier. ### The 'Old School' Approach to Safety I’ve seen too many people wreck their joints by chasing numbers they aren’t ready for. My style is old-school. I emphasize controlled eccentric movements—don't just drop the weight, own it. We prioritize: * **Immediate Feedback:** If you're training with me at Muscle Tech Fitness, I'm hands-on with tactile cues. * **Video Analysis:** For online coaching, we use video checks to fix your grip, foot placement, and bar path before you hit that Personal Record (PR). * **Discipline:** Motivation gets you to the gym, but discipline gets you through the set. Whether you're looking to hit a 150kg squat or just want to feel stronger in your own skin, we’ll build that foundation together. No fluff, just work. ## About Anish Varghese I didn't come from a textbook; I built my life in the gym through failed attempts and big lifts.
