#399 Powerlifting Rivalry 2026: This Pro Athlete is Making a Massive Mistake | Zachary Zeus Smith

Zachary "Zeus" Smith is the owner of Flex Gym (Virginia Beach) and a veteran Powerlifting Coach who has spent a lifetime in Rugby and Combat Sports learning exactly which "investments" actually bear fruit. Whether he's building high-performance athletes through elite gym culture or "generously" using Joe Jackson's horoscope to predict his rival's inevitable downfall, Zeus's coaching is rooted in high standards and higher stakes. He specializes in developing lifters who perform when it counts, proving that while horoscopes might be a joke, the Legacy he's building is anything but.
