The strongest lifter doesn’t always win… There, we said it.

You’ve ticked all the boxes and your peak for SA Champs is well underway… maybe you’ve made it this far by yourself, but don’t think you can walk into SAs without someone having your back. That’s where a handler comes in.

Competition day is more than loading up PBs. It’s strategically deciding which goals to go for and when, dealing with nerves and adrenaline, timing your warmups and keeping you fresh, cues, lifting standards, staying fueled throughout and executing under pressure. Having a handler take care of the all details, allows you to focus solely on 3 things: Squat, Benchpress, and Deadlift. Anything more than that is unnecessary.

We’ve watched favourites lose their spot on the podium because they took a greedy 3rd attempt, SA team hopefuls miss out on their Protea Colours because they couldn’t adapt after getting a red light, and lifters bomb because they didn’t time their last warmup properly.

Set yourself up to perform at SAs, not just show up thinking your training is enough.

Chantelle and Meg have limited spots still available. DM us to lock yours in.

We’ve all been there… you’ve watched the gals at VA and something just doesn’t look right, you’re not sure that’s how you’re supposed to squat and now you’re scared to try it yourself in case you look like that.

In the space of 5 minutes, you’ve convinced yourself out of squatting so instead, you’re heading back towards the safety of the dumbbell rack to do more RDLs for the glute gains…

Come visit us for a 1:1 technique session designed to meet you where you are in your lifting journey.

💪🏼 improve your technique
🧱 build confidence
😎 and feel prepared to follow movement standards that suit your body type, strength level and experience!

Now say it with me: this is the year I conquer the squat rack.
