I haven’t taken the time to formally reintroduce myself since I launched the Rocket Strength brand back in March of 2023. Since then, I’ve seen significant growth and change as a coach, along with my brand, and I want to take a moment to introduce myself to those who may not know me.

My name is Jakob Hansen, and I am a powerlifting coach currently based out of Omaha, Nebraska. I have been coaching for just over four years now, after starting in late 2021. Since then, I have had the pleasure of coaching over 40 athletes across a wide range of demographics, from the local level all the way to the national stage.

I pride myself on a high-quality service structure that never deviates from one athlete to another and allows all athletes a clear and defined avenue to communicate with me, while allowing me to provide the best coaching I can. I always look to further pursue my knowledge, whether through a deep network that includes some of the brightest young minds in the coaching space, participation in formal mentorship programs, or learning from online content produced by others in the field. I am never content.

As we move into the new year, I am currently accepting clients. Regardless of your gender, age, weight class, or strength level, there is a home for you at Rocket Strength. If you would like more information on my services or to formally inquire, send me a DM or click the link in my bio! by @powerliftingwithjake

That’s a wrap on 2025

Feeling so blessed to get to coach a great group of athletes across the course of the year. This year Rocket Strength really did expand across the entire country, with athletes not only in the Midwest, but on both coasts as well! 

Time to get to work for 2026, and bring even better performances to bigger stages! by @powerliftingwithjake

USAPL Cornhusker State Games

Squat: 237.5 kg / 520 lbs (+7.5 kg PR)
Bench: 147.5 kg / 325 lbs (+10 kg PR)
Deadlift: 272.5 kg / 601 lbs (+12.5 kg PR)
Total: 657.5 kg / 1450 lbs (+30 kg PR)
Dots: 407.3 (+15.37)
8/9

Finally broke the elusive 400 dots, and a 600 lb deadlift which I missed 2x in training + the drug test lets goooo. @tsp_devan had me PEAKED. All three lifts felt insanely strong, and the only miss was me botching my third bench. There will be no more big peak and tapers, we will continue training into the meet. Got to compete alongside two of my clients and @bnelson.fit handled both them and myself flawlessly. I also want to thank @kateyliftskilos and @usaplnebraska. The improvement of both frequency and quality of meets in Nebraska since I started powerlifting has been so awesome to see, and it allows for an amazing platform and community for lifters and coaches at the local level.

Athlete Highlights - 8/7/26

@thomasfagiano with a new triple PR for the first block post meet. 525 x 3 moving very well with some room. We’ve played around with his deadlift programming slightly after essentially finding his golden microcycle and running it over and over for both of our two preps together. Pushing some rep work, specifically 6s, after this top set. Really excited to see how far we can push his deadlift by the end of the year and into next year. 

Big ATPR for @genisalwayscooked. Knee sleeve blew up on him mid rep, and he was still able to thug it out and finish the 524 x 1 PR. That wraps up the macrocycle for us. Looking to take an easy week or two before making some programming changes to all three lifts, and chasing more PRs. 

@seant196 with a new rep PR of 353 x 4. I have been a big fan recently of running some sort of ascending work on the primary squat session following a meet to break up some monotony, as well as increase the average intensity of a session. Ran this setup for the first three weeks of the block, then flipped it to a traditional top set and backdown structure for week four to prioritize the top end. Worked just as well drew it up. 

@rj_liftss with an ATPR match of 568 x 1. With all the travel and scheduling conflicts going on, we’ve found a lot of consistency in training. Moving into the final bloc of meet prep next week.

Bench: 130 kg / 287 lbs (+12.5 kg)
Deadlift: 285 kg / 628 lbs (+10 kg)

9/9

Dominic competed earlier this month at the USAPL Cornhusker State Games, making his return to competition after two years away from the sport. This meet went pretty much as perfect as we could have asked for, going 9/9, and PR’s on all three lifts on the way to a PR total day.

After competing two years ago, Dominic and I parted ways as he stepped away from the sport to focus on alternative commitments before reaching out again, around 3 months out. This did put us on a time crunch, but given the fact that Dominic hadn’t spent much of the last two years training in a very specific manner, instead focusing on general strength and hypertrophy training. This simplified things on my end a lot, allowing us to focus on the fundamentals, cleaning up some technique related issues, and to let simple programming concepts drive adaptations. by @powerliftingwithjake

@braydon66kg makes his return to Powerlifting America this weekend in an effort to qualify for University Nationals. Braydon competes this Sunday at Powerlifting America Summer Slamdown in Massachusetts. 

Prep has gone very smooth as we have continued to work to fill out 66kg. Looking forward to establishing a baseline for Braydon in this weight class as we move into the back half of the year, and working towards University Nationals. by @powerliftingwithjake

After two years way from the platform, @dom_lyfts competes this weekend at USAPL Cornhusker State Games. Dominic reached back out for coaching a few months ago after some time away from the sport, and I couldn’t wait to see what we could put together and how quickly we could get him back to all time PR territory. 

Luckily, we had plenty of training data to build off of since for both of Dominic’s prior meets we teamed up for. Prep went amazing, with all three lifts coming together very nicely the past month especially. Time to put it together on meet day!
