## About Competitive Powerlifting Coaching

### Power Over Everything

For me, being powerful is everything. I don’t coach just to make people strong for the sake of it - I train shers, real competitors. My group is for those who want to stand on the podium, not just take selfies in the gym. If you’re chasing medals at IPF or PAO events, this is your place.

### Who I Coach

I work with men and women aiming for competitive powerlifting in junior or senior categories. You’ve got to be serious about the sport. If you just want to play around, I’m not your guy.

### My Training Style

We grind, hard. I’m on the gym floor with you, not just sending routines on WhatsApp. I watch every rep, correct your form, and push you through failures. Main focus: squat, bench, deadlift. I always say, “If you can’t deadlift, what’s the point?” Programs are structured for peak performance, with cycles like my 9-weeks-out plan. Mental toughness is a must. Injuries happen - but a *ghayal sher* (wounded lion) doesn’t back down.

### In-Person and Online

Train with me at Ultimate Gym, Bhubaneswar, with Team Khordha, or go online if you’re outside the city. Online is for self-driven athletes who can stick to the grind.

### Results That Matter

My team has national medalists, record holders, and state champs. This isn’t just talk - the medals prove it.

### Elite Level Coaching

For top competitors, I cover everything: training, nutrition, even advanced topics for those ready to push limits. This is only for those who are truly serious.

*Dara swapna ku maridie* (Fear kills dreams). Don’t choose average. If you’re ready for real power, let’s start.

## Meet your expert

[Sanjay Nayak](https://mytribe.in/sanjaypowerlifter720)

### My story

Hey, I’m Sanjay Nayak. Powerlifter, not a bodybuilder. Winning gold medals is cool, but for me, it’s about being strong, not handsome. I’ve failed plenty, torn muscles, got injured—still here. Powerlifting isn’t a hobby, it’s my life. You gotta be your own biggest supporter, even when nobody’s clapping. Real strength is showing up, no matter what.

### My work

- **Powerlifting & Strength Coaching**: I train athletes and anyone hungry for real strength. In-person and online powerlifting coaching available.
- **Strength Over Looks**: No posing, no show-off. Mind wins over heart. If you want to be powerful, I’m your coach.
- **Eat Real, Lift Real**: No 'faltu' (useless) supplements. Eggs, chicken, whatever fits your pocket—real food strength training.
- **Who I Train**: I train fighters, not posers. If you’ve got that fire, join my team of beasts.
