Hello! My name is MICHAEL BRESS and I am the Head coach for the Bress and Barbell team, a registered USAPL club and my own personal business! I am a certified personal trainer through NASM, and have a bachelors degree from Michigan State University! After wrestling and playing football for 10 years of my life, I started powerlifting in 2017, starting in the 83kg weight class and eventually getting my way up to 90kg weight class where I earned my first nationals QT this past year. As a coach, I strive to not only be just a coach, but more so a friend and mentor! Bigger totals and PRs are always the main responsibility as a powerlifting coach, but I truthfully care about how I can connect with individuals just as much as I do helping them get stronger. And not only make them stronger, but help expand their knowledge of training/this sport and be a helping hand when life outside the gym becomes hard. For any interest in working with me you can contact me on Instagram @michaelbress or @Bressandbarbell or email me at bressandbarbell@gmail.com!

Hi, my name is MAX BLACKLEDGE and I’m the head coach and owner of Never Satisfied Strength. I competed in my first powerlifting meet in 2017 and started coaching athletes in 2019. I have always loved coaching and helping people become stronger physically and mentally. I offer complete individualized powerlifting programming fitted to your body and lifestyle. Community and communication are also very important to me and I highly value the relationships I have with each of my clients. I have coached many athletes at all levels. My main focus is one-on-one coaching but I also have experience coaching the Chippewa Hills High School Powerlifting team. Some of my favorite memories as a coach are watching my lifters hit lifetime PR’s at meets or in training when they didn’t think it was possible to do so. My end goal is to grow the NSS family and the sport as a whole by inspiring the next generation of powerlifters. If you would like to work together or find out more about me and the team, you can follow me and/or DM me on instagram @neversatisfiedstrength or email me at maxblackledge@gmail.com
