Bring Out Your Inner Centaur

Are you ready to redefine your max? We are dedicated to helping you obliterate your strength training goals!

We offer custom training & powerlifting coaching in order to maximize your potential!

Our Approach

Centaur Strength is about achieving the legendary, mythical, and epic versions of yourself that you didn’t know you could become. We focus our training on complete warmups to prevent injuries, perfecting form, proper breathing techniques, and using a variety of specialty barbells to target specific muscle groups.

Powerlifting Building Blocks

Centaur Strength uses the teachings of Louie Simmons and the power-lifting school he created of Westside Barbell. Our six main lifts increase complete strength: squat, bench-press, deadlift, overhead-press, row, and pull-up. This makes our programs and sessions highly adaptable to both a gym setting and a "garage gym" setting.

Customized Packages

We offer customized training packages so that you can receive top techniques and feedback. This is an excellent way to obliterate your PRs using our strength training & power lifting coaching!

Strongman Lifts

Strongman is a complete strength sport with varying challenges. These challenges always revolve around carrying, lifting, tossing, hinging, pressing, and gripping. Let our coaching help you improve in these three main lifts below!

Atlas Stone

Atlas Stone

The Atlas Stone is a staple movement of Strongman, it is a phenomenal way to build up all the posterior chain muscles. These include forearms, biceps, shoulders, and core. Lifting stones requires good technique as injuries may occur if it is done incorrectly.

Log Press

Log Press

The log press is truly a full body lift that starts with a dead lift and row. It continues with an explosive squat, hip thrust, and finishes with the pressing of the log over the head. Events with log press are done for either max weight or max reps.

Yoke Carry

Yoke Carry

A yoke carry is a phenomenal way to train core stability and leg strength. The posterior chain muscles, upper back muscles, and the abdominal wall take a serious toll as they are all constricting in order to stabilize the walk with a heavy load.

The Next Level Of Coaching

Centaur Strength uses the methods taught in the Russian and Bulgarian weightlifting powerhouses of the 70s and 80s and is perfected by Louis Simmons Westside Barbell. This style of training is called The Conjugate Method and it is fundamental for maximal strength.

I’ve been working with Stephen for a couple of months full time and a couple of months prior to that with strongman training. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Stephen is absolutely the best strength trainer in the KC metro area. He pushes and encourages me to lift heavier and fight for that "one more rep".

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

 

~ Isaiah 40:29-31
