Squat, bench press and deadlift coaching with periodised programming — led by Amanda Wren Kobus, Director of the KwaZulu-Natal Powerlifting Association, Registered Nurse Practitioner, and NPC Worldwide bodybuilding titleholder.
Powerlifting at Maddog Performance Institute is coached with the same precision and discipline that builds world champions. Our powerlifting programme is built around the three competition lifts — squat, bench press, and deadlift — and is structured to develop maximal strength, technical mastery, and competition-ready performance.
Powerlifting isn't just about the platform — it's one of the most effective long-term investments you can make in your body.
Amanda Wren Kobus is a Proteas-selected Master 1 athlete and KZN's strongest Master 1 competitor — currently ranked South Africa's third-strongest master athlete. She's also Director of the KwaZulu-Natal Powerlifting Association and a certified Coach and Referee under the South African Powerlifting Federation, bringing institutional knowledge and elite competitive experience to every strength session she leads. Her clinical background as a Registered Nurse Practitioner informs every training prescription — she understands the body not just as an athlete, but as a medical professional.
Powerlifting isn't run as a fixed weekly class — it's coached 1-on-1, as a couple, or in small groups, scheduled directly around your availability.
