coach blanco


It took Blanco 2 years to lose 120 pounds—and though the outcome felt great, it was the process that changed his life. Since then, Blanco devoted himself to developing strong humans of all ages, shapes and sizes, including top performing Olympic Weightlifters on National and World level platforms.

As Head Coach of Brooklyn Barbell Club for the past 7 years, Blanco built one of the highest performing, most sought after USA Weightlifting destinations. For Blanco, weightlifting is not just a competitive sport—it provides a foundational practice for anyone who wants to be stronger in body and mind.
