His clients include a wide range of individuals, from Division I college athletes to the elderly and essentially anyone in between.
Andy’s online coaching practice focuses on competitive and non-competitive powerlifting, physique development, and sports performance for a wide range of athletes.
In 2022, Andy was proud to take long time client 71 year old client Shelly Stettner to the IPF Masters World Championships, where she won 1st place in the M4 63kg and set multiple world records.

PPST3 seeks to clarify the differences between Exercise and Training, and walks the reader through the detailed mechanics of programming for long-term progress in the weight room. PPST3 clarifies the concrete differences between Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced Trainees and outlines appropriate training programs for athletes at various stages of advancement.
