ILU—Interruptive Linear Undulations—alternates high-intensity training with low-intensity sessions that support recovery. A lighter weight does not automatically mean low intensity: effort, volume and fatigue matter too. I use your readiness and response to training to guide the next session. Explore the ILU book or self-paced course to learn the framework.
Who I Train
- Personal training for beginners and anyone building a consistent routine.
- Strength training for learning the movements and progressing with an individual plan.
- Powerlifting coaching for squat, bench press and deadlift technique, with competition optional.
- Post-injury training adapted to your current abilities and your treating clinician’s guidance.
