In this episode - I interview British Strength coach Alex Miller, who shares insights from his journey working with Kabuki Strength and Chris Duffin and developing the first ever AI App for strength coaching mechanics.

Alex is a coach, strength scientist, and systems architect whose work combines biomechanics, physiology, and adaptive programming. Drawing on models of fatigue from Noakes, Marcora, and Enoka, he develops falsifiable, stress-indexed frameworks for training that have been applied to multiple world-record level athletes.

He is the mind behind LiftLab, a platform that unifies neuromechanical profiling, force-vector taxonomy, and autoregulation with real-time data from velocity tracking and pose estimation. He also develops CueUp, an open-source Python engine for automated exercise analysis and program generation. Grounded in critical rationalism, his work treats every prescription as a testable hypothesis, bridging sports science, philosophy, and engineering to advance evidence-driven strength training.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of sleep, simple nutrition, and foundational fitness, while also highlighting the value of critical thinking and continuous learning in the fitness industry. Alex also introduces upcoming educational resources for coaches and athletes - we also spoke about-

Conditioning for First Responders

Physical Preparedness: Mental toughness is crucial, but physical readiness is non-negotiable for roles like firefighters and police officers.

Sustainable Training: Simple, consistent cardio and strength training can significantly improve performance without overwhelming busy schedules.

Lifestyle Factors: Quality sleep and proper nutrition are foundational for enhancing physical capacity and overall well-being.

Skool Platform: A fantastic resource for educational content and community support, spearheaded by World Record Holder Chris Duffin.

Monthly Books: Upcoming releases packed with practical information, like power training for athletes over 40 and innovative uses of blood flow restriction (BFR) training.

I hope these highlights spark your curiosity and entice you to dive into the full episode. Alex’s journey and insights are truly inspiring, and there’s so much more to explore in our conversation.
