BASALT
BASALT
LoadingTwenty-four years of coaching physique athletes, and the only coach here who will spend an hour on how you stand. Sergei runs the Thursday morning session.

Sergei has coached physique athletes since 2002, first in Brooklyn and since 2018 in Jersey City. He is the person members are sent to when the training is working and the presentation is not.
His speciality is the classic end of the sport — proportion rather than mass at any cost — and the last ten days before a show, which he treats as a logistics problem to be planned rather than a gamble to be improvised.
He also takes non-competing members who want to look like they train. His posing sessions, he points out, are the only ones at BASALT with a mirror requirement.
