I initally hesitated to embark on powerlifting, considering myself a retired athlete due to a previous injury that forced me to quit my sport. I still recalled the amusing questions I posed to Nic during our initial call, and he patiently responded, offering reassurance to me.
Nic possesses an exceptional ability to comprehend and accommodate my unique needs. A lingering shoulder injury significantly hampered my bench press capabilities. However, Nic adeptly worked around this issue, continuously checking in and adapting exercises to ensure a pain-free bench press experience tailored to my circumstances.
Under Nic's guidance, I learned to trust the process, myself, and him. In a mere six months of coaching, I transformed from an individual oblivious to the concept of RPE, plagued by bench press pain and woeful squatting form, and relying solely on brute strength for deadlifts, to confidently approaching my desired numbers across all lifts and securing a commendable 2nd place finish in the Junior Nationals. Astonishingly, I even obtained the opportunity to compete in international powerlifting championships (Asian/Pacific/African Powerlifting Championships) as a representative of Singapore—an aspiration I had never dared to dream.
Thanks to Nic's approach, my powerlifting journey has been immensely enjoyable. I assure you that joining NTS will grant you an engaging and progressive powerlifting experience, just as it has for me.
