About

Dr. Tyler Desplenter

Coach | Author | Researcher | Strongman

A Rare Combination

Few people combine a PhD in Biomechatronics Engineering with 13 years of competitive strongman and powerlifting experience. Even fewer have coached athletes across multiple disciplines while publishing peer-reviewed research. Dr. Tyler Desplenter represents that rare intersection where cutting-edge science meets proven competitive experience and coaching excellence.

Academic Expertise

PhD in Motion Modelling & Biomechanics from Western University, focusing on the integration of technology to aid in strength improvement. Published scientist specializing in human movement analysis and rehabilitation. Author of "Foundations of Strongman Training"—the definitive scientific guide bridging academic research with practical programming for the sport of strongman.

Proven Performance

13 years competing in strongman and powerlifting to become one of the strongest men in Ontario. 20 years of continuous strength training from development through competitive peak. This isn't someone who studies strength from the sidelines—he's lived the training cycles, competition prep, and demands of strength sports.

Coaching Excellence

Multi-discipline coaching across strongman, powerlifting, and football. Dr. Desplenter has guided athletes from beginners to competitive athletes chasing records. He has also learned from some of the top athletes and has coached athlete from a variety of backgrounds. His specialities are strength & conditioning for strongman, powerlifting, and football athletes. Evidence-based programming backed by both peer-reviewed research and competition-tested experience.

The Bottom Line

When you work with Dr. Desplenter, you get someone who has researched the biomechanics at PhD level, competed for over a decade, and coached across multiple strength disciplines. This isn't just academic theory or gym wisdom—it's rigorous science with proven real-world application.
