Huge congratulations to Ben on achieving an incredible milestone - bench pressing 100kg! This is an achievement that puts you among the top group of general population in terms of strength.

Research shows that only about 1-2% of men can bench press 225lbs (approximately 102kg), making Ben's accomplishment more meaningful. This achievement represents months of dedicated training, proper form development, and consistency.

Weightlifting offers tremendous benefits beyond just building impressive strength numbers. Studies consistently demonstrate that resistance training improves bone density, enhances metabolic health, boosts mental resilience, and increases functional strength for daily activities. The discipline required to reach this level translates into improved confidence and mental fortitude in all areas of life.

At we're proud to support athletes like Ben who push their limits and achieve extraordinary results.

Keep up the outstanding work, Ben - this is just the beginning of your strength journey!

I want to make a massive shout out to Ned Clarke who competed in his first powerlifting competition on 20 December. It’s been pretty busy since I got back so I’m just getting to write this now.

Ned started a training block about 12 weeks ago after expressing a desire to try Powerlifting and he has done everything possible to perform exceptionally well in his first competition

Ned squatted 175 kg bench pressed 107.5 kg and dead lifted 180 kg. This is an impressive return for a 12 week training program at 17 years of age and just under 80 kg of body weight.

When I first started powerlifting and powerlifting coaching a very experienced lifter said to me you’re not a Powerlifter until you compete. You’ve never been tested until you’ve stood on the platform and nothing counts unless it’s on the platform.

I was really proud of Ned on the weekend for standing up following instructions and showing great grit and determination despite an extremely hot day and having some nerves which were expected.

When I program a novice lifter, I always think it’s more important to achieve every lift than it is to find your absolute maximal effort on the First competition. Part of competing is getting over the nerves, listening to the referee instructions and and getting to know all the rules.

Well done Ned, really proud of your effort. Looking forward to seeing what happens over the next few years.
