In this episode of Coach Em Up, Tim and Zach sit down with elite weightlifter and coach Dylan Cooper for an unfiltered look into the world of athletics, obsession, and personal growth. Dylan shares his journey from missing a 135-lb squat to becoming a national weightlifter and competing internationally. They discuss the balance between raw strength and perfect technique, the mental toll of competing under pressure, and how injuries shaped his path as an athlete and coach.

Dylan opens up about the realities of training like a pro, from maxing out four times a week to learning the hard way about the importance of rest, nutrition, and mindset. He also breaks down the secrets behind building an online coaching business while staying true to your athletic roots.

Whether you’re chasing your next PR, striving to become a better coach, or just looking for inspiration to push through life’s challenges, this episode has something for you. Don’t forget to subscribe to never miss another episode of Coach Em Up!
