Strongman Coach & Athlete
“I couldn't imagine using any other app”
Connor Phelps is a strongman coach and competing athlete who has been using Winning Strength Blueprint for years. He's used spreadsheets. He's used a variety of training apps. He's stayed with Winning Strength Blueprint.
Why he moved off spreadsheets and other apps
Like most specialist strength coaches, Connor didn't start with software. He used spreadsheets, then trialled a range of training apps as the technology improved. What kept him on Winning Strength Blueprint was the breadth of what it does in one place.
“I used to use spreadsheets and I've used a variety of different training apps. Winning Strength Blueprint is second to none.”
What it does for him as a coach
Connor uses Winning Strength Blueprint to deliver professional-looking programmes quickly, track client readiness, monitor nutrition and overall well-being, send payment links, share notes, and have ongoing conversations with athletes — all without leaving the app.
The marketplace feature also turned his programming into a second income stream. Any programme Connor writes can be sold to other lifters directly through the platform.
“As a coach, it allows me to deliver a professional-looking programme in a timely manner. I can keep track of clients' readiness, their nutrition, their overall well-being. I can send them payment links. I can send them notes. We can have chats — a variety of features other apps just don't have.”
Why he uses it as an athlete too
Connor competes himself, and uses Winning Strength Blueprint to track his own training. Rest times, session structure, readiness scores, sleep, exercise reference videos — all in the same place he programmes from.
“I can keep track of my own progress because it's there in front of me. I can see my readiness, my sleep patterns. I have exercise reference videos ready whenever I need them. I simply couldn't imagine using another training software — for myself or for my clients — purely because none exist that are this good.”
Coach the way Connor does
Programming, communication, readiness, payments, marketplace — built for strength sports.
