Hi all, my name is Hasan, a passionate powerlifter and powerlifting coach dedicated to helping lifters of all levels achieve their strongest selves.

My journey to powerlifting came off the back of bodybuilding. As a teen, I was severely underweight, weighing 40kg at 16 years old, and this is when I knew it was time for change.

Being allergic to gluten, dairy, eggs, and soya, it was always a challenge to put on weight or maintain good eating habits as my options we very limited, and I didn't enjoy eating. However, once I dedicated myself to changing my health and physique for the better, I experimented with a range of diets and food options, which shifted my mindset completely. I learnt the importance of diet in performance and how to overcome any challenges.

Once I had built a solid foundation and got to a healthy weight, I fancied a more measurable approach to lifting, as I grew increasingly lost in the arbitrary measurements of bodybuilding. One day I was scrolling through Instagram and I came across Liam Newell, a young powerlifter deadlifting 402.5kg at 90kg BW, and I was like, nah, surely not. But it was real.

This spiralled into discovering more powerlifters including Rondell Hunte, Jamal Browner, and Sean Mills. Their strength and discipline inspired me to start powerlifting too.

Fast forward many years, I have tried a huge range of programmes, experienced the highs and lows of powerlifting, coached university students, and built an amazing community of gym-goers. I am constantly looking to get better as a u66 powerlifter, and my many years of experience have taught me the discipline and rewards of the sport.

My mission? To help you unlock your full potential regardless of where you start, fast-track your progress and smash your goals with confidence. Let’s get stronger, together!
