For the guys who think they won’t see results in YEARS of training (when you have a good program)

…you are WRONG.

And if you’re in the Soviet Strength Coaching, you’ll see every day guys crushing it and leveling up.

All you need is to stop waiting and get serious, otherwise years are going to go by and you’ll just be the same as where you are now

I recently recorded a video that I think a lot of you will see yourselves in…

It’s about one of my soviet strength coaching athletes, Sebastian.

He spent 8 years training on and off, doing random programs with no real structure.

…which meant he had no real progress.

And like most guys in this position, he thought this was “just how it is when you’re older.”

But after coaching him, this is what he said:

“After coaching, I was surprised. I improved the body and confidence. I am 50, and can now take my shirt off, and it looks amazing.”

In the breakdown video I show exactly:

✅How he went from being stuck for years


✅How to get to 40kg dips and +4kg of muscle in 3 months at 51


✅What he was doing WRONG for 8 years (without knowing)

…And what we changed in his structure, recovery and mindset.


Most guys think when you’re older, your job is just to “maintain muscle and strength."

But if you train properly, and with the right plan and actually apply the knowledge…

You can still build a crazy physique and strength that even younger guys respect.

If you’ve been training for a while and feel like progress is slow, this video will show you why…

…and what’s possible when you stop guessing and start doing things right.

A lot of us have this ONE thing we do (or think about) that gets us full of energy and motivated to train HARD 🗿…

What is it for you?

Someone asked me this week in the Soviet Strength Community if saunas really help with recovery and if it’s needed.

…and a lot of guys replied and mentioned how it’s been a game-changer for them.

And I understand why a lot of guys think they NEED it.

Because things like saunas, ice baths, special supplements… can all have the effect of making recovery faster.

But the truth is…

The legends I learned from didn’t have any of that.

Yet they still managed to get crazy strong and progress very quickly.

If you have access to a sauna…

…Use it because it’s good for blood flow and helps you relax.

But don’t expect it to be the difference between hitting PRs and getting stuck.

Because if your body needs 3 days to recover…the sauna won’t make it 2.

It’s just something extra that’s nice to have

Would you rather have a perfect front lever or a 100 kg weighted dip?

Winter is here, and for many guys this means colder weather… slower warm-ups and less motivation.

So…

When it’s cold and you’re struggling to warm up, what should you do?

A lot of guys think they should keep going in their warm-up sets until they finally start feeling warm.

But the truth is, that’s not the most efficient way, and it’s going to use up energy that you would need to have in your main workout.

Simply wearing a hoodie during your warm-up, or splashing your face with warm water before the first set…

Will warm you up much faster than doing 4–5 unnecessary warm-up sets.

Because the more warm-up sets you do,

The more energy you waste before the real workout even starts.

And so by the time you reach your heavy sets, you’re already tired, and that’s why many guys plateau.

So when it’s cold, focus on staying covered and keep your energy for the real sets…

…the ones that actually make you stronger.

That’s how you keep hitting PRs, even when it’s FREEZING outside.

Do you guys prefer training in the cold or in the summer heat?

I saw a comment on YouTube the other day where someone asked

“Bro, is your physique just genetics?”

And I get it…

Because when you see the biceps, the chest, the shape… yeah.

Some of that is genetics.

But it’s mostly how the muscle LOOKS which is genetics...

…but not so much the size of the muscle, because that’s the hard work put in consistently over time.

Because the fact that it got BIGGER and I’m now able to do skills with them...

That’s from weighted pull-ups…

…weighted dips

…eating enough calories.

…getting enough protein.

And getting stronger every single week by doing things PROPERLY!

Not by trying to learn 20 different exercises or trying to rush your progress with new plans every week

Because the truth is…

To get crazy strong, just a few exercises will go along way

P.S. By the way guys, already 17/25 spots for soviet strength coaching are gone...

If you've been at the same level of strength and muscle for a long time... you keep getting injuries... or you have nobody holding you accountable...

Apply below to get coached personally by me:
