Project
Outtotaled by Knowledge
A book by Delia Gerber (BSc Physiotherapy) and Julian Kohler.Neither of us had great genetics for powerlifting. That's exactly why knowledge had to become our advantage.Close to a decade coaching and competing, treating patients and making people stronger taught us one thing: the athletes who go furthest aren't the strongest on day one — they're the ones who understand why something works, and what to change when it doesn't.This isn't a program to follow blindly, and it's not a stack of studies with no context. It's a working method for building your own training system and knowledge. Leverages, programming with RPE, attempt selection, and training for the long game. All in one place on 180 pages.Fail usefully. Adjust. And then outtotal the ones who maybe had an easier start but never learned these lessons.

Client Testimonial
Andrea
"I started working with Julian 7 years ago shortly after I started powerlifting. Over the course of these 6 years I did my first powerlifting meet, won my first national championship. Just like my needs and challenges as an athlete changed over time, Julian's approaches to solving them evolved. Amongst my biggest successes so far is my win at the western European championships in 2022 as well as many other international medals. And I am not done yet..."

Frequently asked questions
What is included in online powerlifting coaching?My online powerlifting coaching includes weekly programming in our own app where you can also upload your training videos. At the end of every week there is a review of your technique, a technique analysis and a check in on your progress. Of course during the week we will be in contact through messages and if you have any questions or need support you can always reach out.
Is online coaching good for beginners?Especially beginners profit a lot from coaching. You learn good technique and experience productive programming to not only get coached but also learn how to train in your future career.
Is the coaching only for competitive athletes?
The coaching is for everyone who wants to get better and stronger at the barbell lifts or in strength sports like strongman, weightlifting or powerlifting. Competitions are optional.
Can I work with you even from other countries than Denmark or Switzerland?
Yes absolutely! Since I am based in Denmark and Switzerland it is easier to meet in person but I have worked with athltes from all over the world from the US to Vietnam. Online coaching is a good fit no matter where you are or live.
Do you offer personal training?
Yes. If you are coached by me you always have to option to do an in person training if geographically possible. A lot of my athletes come visit me in my gym in Olten and we do focused technique sessions. If your competitions are close I also offer meet day handling for everyone who is a client of mine.
How do I choose the right powerlifting coach?
If you are currently looking for coaches make sure you pick a coach with specific powerlifting experience. A coach should have a history of competing themselves and also a history of working with athletes that achieve their goals.
