About

Movement coach focused on wrist alignment, grip calm, and joint-friendly training in shared spaces. I evaluate handle diameter, knurl quality, balance, and rattle to keep lifters consistent without flaring aches or waking neighbors.

Core Beliefs

If gear calms your joints and nervous system, consistency follows.

Perspective

I prefer neutral-friendly grips, slightly thicker well-cut knurling, and minimal mechanical play.
