After just a few conversations Andy devised a custom strength program that allowed me to reach my goals and fit into my busy lifestyle. Since beginnning the program I have made solid gains in strength and size. I have been very impressed with Andy’s knowledege and am sincerely thankful for his help.

I am a former national level natural bodybuilder, strongman and highland games competitor who became very confused with training methods and had a lot difficulty adhering to a specific workout program. My goals included increasing muscular size and strength and over the last several years I submerged myself in a variety of literature from many different sources. However, the more I read, the more confused I became in setting up a training program that would help me reach my goals. Consequently, everytime I thought I had a well devised workout plan set up, I would read something from an “expert” that would either contradict what I had previously believed or would mention a more effective way to achieve the desired result. The information became so overwhelming that I began to change my routine on a daily basis, leaving me in a downward spiral of growing smaller and weaker.Eventually I came to the realization that I needed help. I knew I had a lot of potential and was determined to reach my goals. Througout my searching on the internet, I came across Kingwood Strength and Conditioning owned and operated by Andy Baker. I had been a long time follower of Andy’s online strength journal and knew he was top level drug free powerlifter with a tremendous amount of knowledge based on training principles that had been proven to work for decades. I emailed Andy with the specific goals I wanted to achieve and with the confusion I had over program design and adherance. Andy responded promptly to my email, letting me know he could help me and after a few messages he devised a workout program that would allow me to reach my goals and fit into my busy lifestyle. Since beginnning the program I have made solid gains in strength and size. I have been very impressed with Andy’s knowledege and am sincerely thankful for his help.

Training emails when Andy has something worth sending.

New articles, program notes, and the occasional answer to a question lifters keep asking.
