Strongman Coach · LSC Gym
“If you're still using a spreadsheet, dump it”
Brandon Larkin coaches strongman athletes out of LSC Gym. He's blunt about what moving to Winning Strength Blueprint did for his coaching: it was a massive game changer.
The shift away from spreadsheets
Brandon is direct about the comparison. If you're still running your coaching out of Excel or putting together basic programmes by hand, you're working harder than you need to — and your athletes are getting less.
“If you're still one of those just using an Excel spreadsheet or basic programmes, you really should dump it and come over to the Winning Strength Blueprint.”
The features that matter for strength coaches
What Brandon highlights are the details that actually matter when you're programming for strength sports — not generic gym features.
Rep schemes the way strength coaches actually write them. Rest timers built into the session. Time under tension surfaced clearly. Session duration estimates that account for tempo, so athletes know what they're walking into. Articles you can attach for athletes to read between sessions.
“It provides all different rep schemes, rest timers, shows time under tension, shows the amount of time the workout should take based on whether you have tempo installed into the programme. You can even download articles for your athletes to read — and so much more.”
The bottom line
“It has been a massive game changer in the way that I coach my athletes.”
Built for how strength coaches actually programme
Tempo, rest, time under tension, rep schemes — done properly.
