What, if anything, do you like about Kirk's Coaching?

Kirk is great, he has been able to find my "limit" push me there and allow me to recover. I have had numerous PR's under Kirk and I can't wait to get more PR's in the future. He understands that I have a job, and sometimes I have days where I am unable to get my workout in. His ability to work with me and my schedule is priceless.
