Leadership | Relationship | Creativity
At it's heart, good coaching has three main pillars -- Leadership, Relationship, and Creativity. Our entire coaching process is built on this foundation.
Leadership is about providing athletes clear guidance and reinforcing good judgment. Whether it's sticking to your RPEs in training, deciding about weight class changes, or managing a difficult schedule, we can help provide useful, detailed guidance to athletes.
Of course all leadership must be built on a foundation of a quality coach-athlete relationship. Many decisions depend on the details of an athlete's preferences or life circumstances. Beyond tactical decision making, pushing into PR territory can be a difficult road at times, but it's much easier when you have a good coach to share in the journey. We understand that you are a person, not just an athlete.
We pride ourselves on being able to find solutions to any problems that arise. Each athlete responds to training in slightly different ways. For maximum results, it is important that training be tailored to fit the athlete. We individualize programs top-to-bottom and even come up with new solutions if previous solutions don't adequately get at the core problem.

Training that is truly tailored for each individual
We're ready to support your pursuit of strength!
Athletic Vision Casting
When you first sign up with RTS for coaching, you will go through what we call the Athletic Vision Casting process. This is where you will meet with your coach and talk about your goals and what you would like to get out of the coaching process.
We value knowing what is important to each of our lifters. Each lifter is a different person and will have different goals. With this information we can be of better support in directing your efforts. While goals are important, having a plan of action to work towards those goals is paramount if you want to reach them. Failure to plan is planning to fail.
During this call we're able to learn about you as a person and what kind of training is best fit for you. This allows us to create a unique starting point that is specific to you, your current abilities, and needs. As we're able to collect more data on your training response, we will follow that trail of individual response!
The Emerging Strategies Approach
Programming with Emerging Strategies is our primary method of developing radically individualized training programs. This is a bottom up approach that allows training to be specifically tailored to your unique response. Each lifter responds to programs in slightly different ways. Our process is optimized to find your best training responses and capitalize on them.
We have coached over 15 IPF World Record holders. The majority of them trained with an Emerging Strategies approach.
Key Emerging Strategy concepts
- Individualized block lengths based on your unique Time To Peak (TTP)
- Data collection and review process to use the volumes and intensity zones that produce the best response
- Exercise selection based on what shows the most reliable and consistent progress
- A method of training that flexibly meets each lifter where they are at in development.
Radically Individualized Training!
RTS Athletes also have access to a supportive community!

HAVE WE MET?
I'm Mike Tuchscherer.
I'm the founder of Reactive Training Systems.
The thing that connects all Powerlifters is the pursuit of the PR. Whether you're new to the sport or an advanced lifter, achieving a new PR is the proof that you are getting better; that you're the strongest you've ever been.
The thing that I enjoy the most about powerlifting is the puzzle. The tinkering, the figuring it out. (If you want to thrive as a powerlifter, you need to figure out the process that works best for you.)
Powerlifting has evolved a LOT since RTS started in 2008 and so have our methods and processes. We are always learning and improving our methods to help our athletes improve even more.
Whether you're experienced or just starting out, we want to help you figure out your own training puzzle so you can set PRs and be stronger than you've ever been.
