Hi, this is my first forum post here. I am a Norwegian living in Sweden, interested in gaining strength. For some years I have been reading the Starting Strength books, articles, watching videos and forum posts and really tried as hard as I could doing the lifts and progress.
However, seeing Carl Raghavan was a turning point. Going to London from Gothenburg just to train with Carl is defenitely value for money! I was so happy when I discovered that there actually existed a SS coach in my continent.
The thing about Carl is that he immidiately recognizes your weak spots, and gives you simple and efficient cues. Typically I was also worrying about the wrong thing in my lifts. For instance I was too focused on shoving my knees out in the squat and "arching" my lower back, as I should rather focus on keeping everything tight, looking down and really do the hip drive.
Similar corrections he did to all the five lifts, and we got through them all in a two hours session. Carl also gave me many more valuable tips concerning warm up, programming, belt use and difference between bars etc.
I would warmly recommend Carl Raghavan to anybody who are interested in improving technique in their lifts, PT-training, online coaching, or just advice on strength development. He is really inspiring!
