About Ben

I got into powerlifting at university in 2017 and never really stopped. What started at DMU Barbell working with a few friends in person has turned into a coaching career that's taken me across the world . I've handled athletes at over 10 international meets as a GB Coach, working with lifters in 15+ countries and watching athletes I coach step onto world championship podiums.
 

As a competitor I've earned 2x European Silver Medals and competed at Worlds twice. But honestly, what keeps me going is the coaching side. Seeing a beginner hit their first competition total or watching an experienced athlete finally crack a plateau they've been stuck on for months, that's what it's about.
 

I coach athletes at every level. Complete beginners who've never touched a barbell in competition, intermediate lifters building toward their first or fifth meet and elite athletes pushing for podiums on the international stage. The approach changes, the commitment doesn't.
 

TeamPape isn't a coaching template. It's a relationship built around your training, your schedule and where you want to go.
