ABOUT THE COACH

Are you tired of relentlessly pushing toward your fitness goals only to hit plateaus, not seeing the results you deserve? Imagine a world where every effort transforms you into your best self. That's exactly what Russell—known in these walls as Coach Thick—helps his clients achieve.

With over two decades of elite-level coaching experience, Coach Thick has propelled athletes to National and World Champion titles in both powerlifting and strongman competitions. Yet his expertise extends beyond elite athletics, empowering everyday individuals who simply want to look, feel, and perform their absolute best.

Grounded by a degree in Integrative Physiology from the University of Colorado, with specialties in nutrition, biomechanics, endocrinology, genetics, and neurophysiology, Coach Thick expertly crafts scientifically-backed programs tailored specifically to your unique needs. His advanced training from N1 Education and J3University has honed his mastery in anatomy, biomechanics, advanced nutrition, sleep optimization, stress management, health monitoring, pharmacology, and progressive overload techniques.

As a relentless innovator, Coach Thick’s competitive credentials are matched by his inventive spirit. He holds multiple patents, including the groundbreaking DEADLoad Arm System. His 23+ years as a competitive powerlifter, along with significant achievements in arm wrestling, equip him with unparalleled insight into peak human performance.

Yet, credentials alone don't define him. Coach Thick is a compassionate and dedicated mentor who genuinely cares about your personal journey. He builds more than physical strength—he cultivates resilience, accountability, and an unwavering mindset, supported by wisdom gleaned from industry legends like Denny Taylor, Adam Miller, Kassem Hanson, Dr. Pat Davidson, and IFBB Pro John Jewett III.
