“Powerlifting became part of my life in high school, as a tool to train for football and other sports. After high school I competed in college sports while working towards my degree in kinesiology. I dedicated my free time away from athletics to master powerlifting programming and coaching. In 2018 I created the University of Wisconsin Powerlifting Team, in which I became head coach. Within two years we went from an unranked, irrelevant club to placing second in the nation, beating scholarship schools in the process while we offered none. In 2020 I officially established Lemieux Training Systems, with the specific goals of providing the highest quality coaching services. I have always viewed powerlifting as a tool to improve your physical and mental health. The great thing about it is anyone at any age of any background can progress if they work hard and train smart enough. With that being said, the basis behind the creation of this organization is to promote work ethic, individual responsibility, smart decision making, and above all else, honesty and integrity.”
