Stanley Murkland
Hello my name is Stanley. I am a strength coach from the Los Angeles area with a passion for helping others become the strongest versions of themselves, not just in training or on the platform, but in life.
I specialize in Powerlifting training, having coached athletes to the local, state, and national level ( in multiple federations) as well as helped athletes break state and national records.
I have been coaching professionally since 2016. Since then I have helped dozens of individuals work towards and achieve their competitive and personal goals and am now building a community of athletes/trainees all focused on self-improvement and empowerment with Sovereign Strength.
Having always been an athlete I began weight training at age 15. Over time, strength training overshadowed all other athletic interests, and the pursuit of strength became my primary focus and obsession. As this passion grew, I went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from Skidmore College in 2016. Now with over 16 years of strength training experience and 8 years of competitive experience in Powerlifting and strongman- I have amassed a raw 1817lb total and placed Top 10 in the nation in the 125kg Class in 2024, as well as a top 10 placing at Strongman Nationals in 2021.
