“I’ve had the privilege of mentoring many talented coaches, but few match the precision, dedication, and integrity Amir Hamada brings to his work.
What sets Amir apart is his ability to turn complex methodologies into practical systems—for elite athletes, post-rehab clients, and everyday professionals reclaiming strength and mobility. His CSES System reflects deep knowledge, clinical thinking, and a no-compromise approach to results.
I fully endorse Amir and the CSES team as leading voices in modern strength and conditioning.”
