My younger brother, Paul and I, at a local 2020 USAPL event in New York State.
About Me
Welcome! My name is Henry George, and I’m proud to call Monroe, New York (Hudson Valley) my home. I created this site to share my personal journey in weightlifting and powerlifting, hoping to inspire and guide others along the way.
My Story
I first started lifting weights as a teenager, and those early experiences as a teen athlete shaped me in ways I’m only now able to fully appreciate. After a long break, I rediscovered my passion for training in my late 30s. As a full-time professional, husband, and father of three, I understand the challenge of juggling life’s commitments—but I’ve found that consistent strength training continues to benefit me, both physically and mentally.
My Philosophy
Teaching Youth: I love introducing young teens to weightlifting. My mission is to teach the right way to lift—safe, effective, and enjoyable—setting them up for lifelong success.
Cutting Through the Noise: After 10+ years of reading, researching, and personal trial-and-error, I know what works: a straightforward barbell program built around 5-6 core exercises plus a few smart assistance movements.
Leading by Example: I train consistently and compete in powerlifting, showing that progress is possible at any age.
Achievements
USA Powerlifting competitor since 2020.
New York State Masters Division champion in 2023 and 2025.
I continue making strength gains as a Master's lifter, and my official meet results are available on the Open Powerlifting Website.
My Coaching Mission
My goal as a strength coach is simple: help you achieve your best and keep you safe and healthy, whether you're an aspiring athlete, a parent, or just getting started. I’ll teach you the most effective exercises, proper form and technique, and give you guidance you can use for a lifetime.
Thank you for visiting my site—Henry George
