Background:

Miguel is a strength coach from Madrid, Spain, with 14 years of experience coaching athletes both in person and online.

Starting in bodybuilding before transitioning to powerlifting, he has worked with athletes across multiple disciplines and experience levels, including powerlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit and HYROX. He currently focuses primarily on powerlifting.

As a competitive powerlifter himself, having competed in both the 83 kg and 93 kg IPF weight classes, Miguel believes in walking the talk. Experiencing the same highs, setbacks and challenges as his athletes allows him to coach with empathy and understanding.

His philosophy is simple: athlete first, plan second. He uses flexible frameworks, RPE, velocity-based training and data analysis to understand each athlete’s response and continually refine the plan.

Miguel believes coaching is about bringing out the best in people—and continuously striving to become a better coach along the way.
