ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Coach Ishmael

I’m Ishmael Sandiford, known as Black Superman, born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. I started training at eight years old, building discipline through push-ups, sit-ups, and dips. That foundation took me from training at home to competing professionally in calisthenics on Fox Sports. I’m also a nationally qualified bodybuilding athlete who has been featured in Men’s Muscle Fitness Magazine.

My philosophy is simple: mental fitness through physical focus. I combine calisthenics and weight training to build muscle, endurance, and a physique you can maintain year-round. My signature Black Superman push-ups reflect the consistency and effort that shaped my own journey.
