Fantastic day out at the Greater London Powerlifting Divisional Qualifier for our powerlifting team!

Having done a peaking cycle through a heatwave, the team was prepared for any conditions. Although it was warm in the legendary Bethnal Green WLC, it was manageable.

Louise absolutely smashed her first comp! Not only did she make every single lift, but looked so composed and calm throughout that you would not have realised she hadn’t done this before. I hear she has the competition bug now ;-)

Praveeta and Liz also had an excellent showing, with PBs all round. Both of them improved on their previous comp totals by 12.5kg!

Videos:
Liz - Squat 115kg
Praveeta - Bench press 67.5kg
Louise - Deadlift 125kg

Members, it’s time to put your training to the test!

Sign up for our big summer event, the Push/Pull Comp 2026…

We particularly encourage newer members who have not done this comp before to give it a go, as it is a great way to find out how strong you really are 💪💪💪

*SA Strongman News*🏆

Our Strongman/Strongwoman crew have been busy with comps the last two weeks!

First up was Commando Temple’s Strongest over the Spring bank holiday. Brad, Rachael and Coach Ben all took part - in the scorching heat 🥵

Rachael was up first in the women’s event. Rachael is our amazing Ladies Who Lift Beginners coach, and this was her first foray back into Strongwoman competition for about 10 years! She had an absolute blast and definitely has the bug again 💪

Ben and Brad’s comp was the next day. They had a great time and both came away with PBs events to be proud about - particularly Brad beating Coach Ben’s bus pull time by 10 seconds despite being significantly lighter!

Just a week later, Brad jumped into another comp, along with Liam doing his first ever comp. This is the opening event in an exciting new venture, the London Strength League. Coach Ben was behind the whistle this time, refereeing.

Liam has been smashing it in training recently, and showed his progress by coming second in his first ever comp! Amazing job Liam.🥈

Well done to Coach Ben and the team for representing Strength Ambassadors so well.

All aspiring Strongfolk are welcome to our Wednesday night Strongman Circuits class. This is your stepping stone into the exciting world of Strongman/Strongwoman. Who knows, you could be doing your first comp next year...!

We got in touch with our inner Viking at Axperience this Sunday. Some revealed a heretofore unknown talent for axe-throwing, others were pleased just to hit the board!

It was a lot of fun - thank you to all who came along!

Massive congratulations to our team representatives Erika & Liz who had a fine day out at .training

Erika made 2 lift PBs and qualified for England Masters.

Liz got PBs in everything and not a single red light.

These results don’t happen by accident. Both these lifters have been super consistent and very focused in their training.

The bar has been set high for 2026!
