AMA: Weightlifting Technique, Programming, Accessories, etc

Me: I'm Ted. I've been coaching weightlifting since 2015, as Kuma Weightlifting. I'm also a DPT who focuses on rehabbing strength athletes.

As a coach, I've coached multiple people to senior national level, many of them from the very beginning. I also coach D. Irizarry, who was part of Team USA for IWF Senior Worlds in 2025. Here are some of my athlete (and patient) results Here.

I'm here to answer any questions about weightlifting technique, programming, exercise selection, accessories, etc.

I'm also happy to answer questions about any of my athlete's programming, including D. Irizarry, or what it was like going to IWF Worlds as part of Team USA.
