Online should not mean generic
A spreadsheet alone is not coaching. The value comes from the loop around it: the athlete records useful information, the coach reviews it, and the next decision reflects what happened.
For a beginner, that may mean more explanation and regular technique review. For an existing competitor, it may mean tighter management of fatigue, performance trends and competition timing.
- Individual training plan
- Check-ins and progress review
- Video feedback on key lifts
- Adjustments when training data or circumstances change
What you need to make it work
You need access to the equipment required by the plan, a practical way to record key sets and enough communication to tell the truth about how training is going. Perfect camera angles and a home gym are not required.
Online is especially useful outside Greater Belfast, where a suitable specialist may not be nearby. It can also suit experienced lifters who prefer to train independently but want better decisions around the work.
- A gym that supports your main lifts
- A phone for occasional training videos
- Consistent check-ins
- Willingness to ask when something is unclear
What the first conversation should settle
Before committing, confirm how often the plan changes, how video feedback works, expected response times and what happens when pain, travel or missed sessions disrupt the week.
