TALL DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN SKINNY
I'm 6'6".
I spent years putting on weight nobody could see -
following programmes written for someone a foot shorter.
Building size on a long frame is a different type of problem - and it's the one I solve.
If you're 6'2" or over, you already know this..
Nobody writes about it, because most coaches have never had to solve it..
Every one of these has a fix;
None of the fixes are in the programme you're currently running.
The weight goes nowhere visible
Fifteen pounds goes on and nothing changes. The same fifteen pounds would be obvious on a shorter guy - on you it spreads over a foot more body.
Every rep is longer than his
Same weight on the bar, more distance, more work, and a bench number that looks weak next to guys you're carrying in size.
You eat more than anyone believes
An uncomfortable amount just to hold your weight, let alone move it.
The equipment isn't built for you
Pads in the wrong place, seats that don't go low enough, machines built around an average that isn't you.
The big lifts hurt in the wrong places
Deep squats and floor pulls beat up your hips and lower back, and you've been told to push through it.
Everyone thinks you're already big
People have told you that for years. You've never once agreed with them.
None of that means you can't get big.
It means the plan has to be built around your leverage instead of ignoring it.
If you recognised more than two of those, this form is worth two minutes👇
What I look for
I decide who I take on, and this is what your application gets read against.
None of it is about how you look right now.
Gets a yes
You've trained consistently for at least a year.
Nothing you've followed has ever accounted for how you're built.
You want size and definition at the same time, and you're not expecting to see it in four weeks.
You can train three to five times a week without negotiating with yourself about it.
You'd rather be told the truth about your physique than be encouraged.
You're in a position to commit properly, not to try it for a few weeks.
Gets a no
You're looking for a programme. A programme is cheap, and I'll point you to a free one.
You want to be lean for one specific date and then stop.
You've changed approach four times this year already.
You want someone else to supply the discipline.
You want the training changed but not the eating. On a long frame, that's where most of the size is.
A no isn't a judgment - most of them are just timing. You'll get told which it is.
What it is, if you get in:
Not a PDF and a check-in form.
Someone watching what your body actually does, week by week, and changing the plan before you stall.
Training built around your leverages
Your limb lengths decide which lifts build you and which ones just make you sore. We pick accordingly, then progress it every week.
Nutrition you can actually hold
Calories and protein set against your real week - your job, your travel, your appetite. Adjusted from your data, not from a calculator.
Weekly review, written by me
You send weight, photos, sleep, training logs. You get back a read on what's happening and exactly what changes.
Direct access between check-ins
Message me when something comes up. Same-day answers on weekdays, from me, not an assistant.
Form reviews on the lifts that matter
Send video on the big movements. You get frame-by-frame notes back, so the next twelve weeks aren't spent reinforcing a fault.
A build order, not a wish list
We decide what gets prioritised and what waits. Trying to fix everything at once is the reason most people stall.
Applying doesn't commit you to any of it👇
How applying works
No cost, and no call booked before either of us knows it's worth having.
1.
You fill in the form
A few questions about how you train, what you've already tried, and what you're actually after. Two minutes. Answer it honestly — a polished answer just wastes your own time.
2.
It gets read properly
Not filed, not auto-replied to. It gets read against the same standard above, and you get an answer within two working days either way — with a reason if it's a no.
Step one takes two minutes and costs nothing.
3.
You talk to Philip
Philip runs every intake call. He knows the coaching inside out and his job is to work out whether it fits you - including telling you when it doesn't. He handles those calls because every hour I'd spend on them is an hour less spent coaching my clients.
William, 20 - 8 weeks in
Where he started
6''5, 282lb, studying full time, working security.
He wasn't lazy and he wasn't clueless - he trained consistently and he knew protein mattered.
What he didn't have was any structure outside the gym.
His approach to eating was: hit the protein number, work the rest out later.
There was nothing governing calories, carbs, fats, or whether any of it actually supported the training he was doing.
What changed
I didn't tell him to eat less.
I built the diet around two goals at once: lose fat and keep performing.
Meals structured, intake controlled, and enough fuel going in that the gym didn't fall apart while the weight came off.
Then William did his part - he followed it, and he didn't switch.
Where he is now
282lb -> 256lb in eight weeks.
Twenty-six pounds off - and he came out the other side stronger than he went in, which is the part that normally doesn't survive a cut.
På han høye kan du bare si struktur og mer intent med trening
Mathis, 22 - 12 months in
Where he started
He trained hard, and he trained often - that was never the problem.
What was missing was structure.
Nothing governed how he ate, and there was no real intent behind the training: the sets got done, but nothing was being aimed at.
He'd worked through a stack of programmes off Instagram, one influencer after another, and none of them moved him.
What changed
He didn't just get a plan.
He got the reasoning underneath it -
How to eat to keep performing in the gym while losing weight,
which is the part every free programme leaves out.
Once he understood why his intake was set where it was -
He stopped switching.
Twelve months on one approach did what four years of restarting couldn't.
Where he is now
87kg -> 72kg
Whitout starving himself or losing muscle along the way
Even more importantly, he's gained confidence, structure and regained his spark for working out.
Who's coaching you
I'm 23, six foot six, and three hundred pounds. None of that was an accident, and none of it happened quickly.
Being this size forced me to work out what most coaching never has to: the plan has to fit the body it's attached to.
Long limbs change which lifts build you and which ones just wreck your joints.
A big frame changes what you have to eat to move the scale at all.
Copying what works for a 5'9" lifter is why a lot of tall guys train hard for years and look the same.
I post the training publicly because I want it judged publicly.
Coaching is the private version of that - a small number of people at a time, where I can see everything and actually intervene.
That's the only reason I'm picky about who gets in.
Common questions
Before you ask..
Why don't you just take everyone?
Because the weekly review is written by me and takes real time. Past a certain number the reviews get shorter and the coaching turns into a template. I'd rather keep a waiting list than do that.
Who am I actually speaking to on the call?
Philip. He handles every intake conversation, and that's on purpose - every hour I'd spend on calls is an hour less spent coaching the people who've already signed up. He knows the coaching properly and he'll tell you if it isn't for you. Block out the full time in your calendar and come ready to give an answer at the end of it.
What does it cost?
We go through that on the call, once we both know it's a fit. It isn't cheap and I'm not going to pretend otherwise - but there's no point quoting a number before I know what you'd actually need.
I'm a beginner. Should I apply?
Probably not yet. Your first year of training will progress on almost anything, and paying for coaching to get that isn't a good trade. Join the community, train for twelve months, then come back.
Do I need access to a gym?
You need barbells, a rack, and adjustable dumbbells. Machine selection matters less than people think. If you're working with less than that, say so in the form and I'll tell you honestly whether it'll work.
I'm not from Norway. Does that matter?
No. Coaching runs in English, and everything happens over messages and video. Time zones only affect how fast a reply lands.
What happens if I don't qualify?
You get a straight answer and usually something to go and do instead. Most of the people I turn down could apply again in six months and get a different reply.
