Our Story

    WE EXIST TO MAKE YOUSTRONGER

    Tsunami Barbell was born from frustration. We watched talented lifters plateau because they didn't have access to intelligent programming. We built the AI coach we always wanted.

    Our Mission

    DEMOCRATIZING ELITE PROGRAMMING

    The best powerlifters in the world have coaches who adjust their training based on daily performance. They get personalized periodization that evolves with them.

    We believe every serious lifter deserves that level of intelligence in their programming—without paying $500/month for a coach. Tsunami brings world-class periodization science to your phone.
