RESULTS FROM THE MAT
Real performance gains from wrestlers training with Mat Muscles.
“Brian helped me develop a foundation of strength, fast twitch speed, and body awareness that I still use today. He is the best strength coach I’ve had, because he knows how to train wrestlers.”
“He also is very close with his athletes. Conversations I had with Brian allowed me to have more confidence in myself. A confidence that allowed me to realize I could wrestle at a Division 1 level and get through Harvard academics.”
— Nolan Leiss, Harvard

Coach Brian has made an incredible impact on Jayden and Mia over the past three years. His training has taken their wrestling to another level, making them stronger and more explosive than their opponents.During that time, Jayden has won Fargo and the US Open, and was a Super 32 finalist, even overcoming a torn labrum with Brian’s individualized rehab and strength program. Mia has become an All-American at U17 Women’s Nationals and Super 32, and Brian also supported her recovery after knee surgery with personalized training.Beyond strength, his guidance in weight management and his overall knowledge are second to none. Most importantly, he truly cares about his athletes.We are incredibly grateful and can’t thank Coach Brian enough for his dedication to our children.

What separates Coach Brian’s approach is not just intensity—it is methodology. His training systems focus on transferable performance: strength that shows up in ties, explosiveness that changes matches, conditioning that lasts into the final seconds, and recovery systems that allow athletes to train consistently without breaking down.
Brian’s philosophy was built from years of observing what truly separates elite athletes from average ones. The difference is rarely motivation alone. The difference is structure, discipline, intentional training, and the ability to recover and repeat high-level performance consistently.
Through Mat Muscles, Coach Brian has helped athletes develop not just physically, but mentally. His systems are designed to create complete wrestlers—athletes who can handle pressure, stay composed under fatigue, and continue improving long after others plateau.
