Looking for online coach with some special considerations

[RobInMA]

Hi, I’m looking for an online coach who can help me through this program. I’m 55, and I have some limitations that need to be accommodated.

I have experience with a similar program from 25-30 years ago (Stuart McRoberts’ program with some coaching from David Maurice). Since then I’ve been through the wringer.

I’m not strong enough for pull-ups, I have flexibility and ROM limitations. I plan to squat with a Marrs Bar, do lat pull downs or chest supported rows until I’m strong enough for pull ups, and I’d like to do trap bar dead lifts to get started there. I have ordered some adequate equipment to get going.

I tried going to the coaching page, but found it difficult to find someone suited for an older client with some training limitations.

Thanks for any help finding the right coach.

Thanks. I hadn’t found that on my own. I’m excited to see what turns up!
