Most modern powerlifting coaches aren\u2019t actually building athletes; they are running a digital marketing business wearing a singlet, chasing short-form algorithm clout while hiding behind RPE charts and endless combo rack squatting. World-champion coach Steve DeNovi spent fifteen years getting hurt, building an elite roster, and learning why the current online coaching ecosystem is quietly killing real strength progress. The fix for a collapsing squat or a plateaued bench isn\u2019t another high-tech fatigue metric or a louder verbal cue\u2014it\u2019s stripping away the digital noise, fixing the physical center of mass, and returning to the hard-earned principles that actually keep lifters on the platform. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Velocity Apps vs. Real Intent: Why objective data-tracking devices make most athletes overthink, sandbag their sets, and trade actual training intensity for a screen. The Online Coaching Delusion: How isolating lifters into individual combo racks and virtual spaces created a fragile, hyper-neurotic community that lacks real gym culture. Center of Mass Mechanics: The simple physics framework Steve uses to evaluate raw technique, identify force leakage, and fix bad movement patterns without destroying a lifter\u2019s confidence. The Tested Sport Turnover: Why most modern lifters drop out after three to five years, and how coaches must shift their soft skills to build long-term platform survival. The Business of Powerlifting: The brutal marketing truth about client retention, why short-form content breeds zero loyalty, and how Steve built a sustainable coaching brand without selling out. MEET THE GUEST Steve DeNovi is a powerlifting coach, owner of Progressive Resistance Systems, and co-founder of the Powerlifting Now education platform. After early career-ending injuries forced him to master the mechanics of getting beat-up lifters back onto the platform, he built a fifteen-year coaching track record that includes four IPF World Titles, an IPF World Champion of Champions title, twelve national championships, and coaching the top drug-tested female powerlifter in the world. Holding an MBA in marketing, Steve combines hard-nosed platform experience with high-level business strategy to educate the next generation of strength coaches.
