About
Andrew Blackwood
I am the head coach and founder of Evolution Powerlifting. Outside of coaching, I am an experienced powerlifter, having won multiple medals at World, European and National level. Throughout the years I have been surrounded by elite athletes and coaches alike. Now through my coaching system, I condense the lessons that I have learned and share them with my own team of lifters.
VISION
I want to see an evolution in the way that powerlifting is approached. I have a holistic view of training that extends beyond what you do in the gym. Focusing on improving nutrition, mindset and other lifestyle variables to help you reach the highest of your capabilities.
My hope is that athletes are able to learn more from me than just squatting, benching, and deadlifting. The ultimate goal being that the lessons learned from this process transfer over to the rest of your life as well.
Mission
I am dedicated to helping my lifters work towards self-sufficiency by giving them the tools that will allow them to build better versions of themselves. Aiming to educate them, so that they understand the motives that underlie their training.
My coaching philosophy is underpinned by empathy and compassion to ensure my lifter’s feel supported through all stages of their training. All in all, my objective is to provide for others the things that I wish I had when I was beginning my journey in powerlifting.
