I'm Shak. Software engineer for the last five years, natural bodybuilder for ten, NPC competitor since 2023. I coach a small number of online clients out of Atlanta, GA.
I started lifting in college because I was skinny and stuck. I made every mistake — too many sets, wrong rep ranges, under-eating, two-day weekend benders. It took years to learn that progress is a function of doing fewer things, but doing them deliberately, and writing down every single one.
By the time I'd put on 40 lbs of muscle, I'd also become a software engineer. The patterns rhymed. Both disciplines reward instrumentation. Both reward small, compounding decisions over time. Both punish guessing.
I started coaching friends in 2020, then strangers in 2023 after my first show. In 2024 I built the training app I always wished I had — every set, rep, weight, RPE and check-in photo in one place. Today that app is the backbone of my coaching practice.
I take a small number of online clients at a time. I don't sell a course, I don't sell a PDF, and I don't run a closed gym. I sell my attention.
One coach, a small roster, full attention. The trial is 7 days, free, and you walk with the programming either way.
