Strength photographer and videographer.

So not posted for many months because basically th So not posted for many months because basically the camera has been swapped for a barbell. I took up lifting 12 months ago and had no idea what I could do. My aim was to try and lift my body weight (99kg) before the end of 2022. I managed 150kg in November last year but it was a grind. This was my lift in January 2023. Much better! 200kg is the next target.

Massive thanks to @phoenixperformancetraining and @naomi.phoenixperformance for their coaching, help, support and being amazing friends. Massive shout out to my amazing training partner @imogen.house.3 for pushing me to train hard. She is a great inspiration and gives great support. 

Finally thanks to the Phoenix Performance crew for their help, support and friendship. Especially Dave and @jackiel135. 

Finally a shout out to my youngest son @joshs1ms. By training with him he set me on the path to try powerlifting. Love you mate and proud of you.

Bit late posting but picture of the winners from T Bit late posting but picture of the winners from Tuesday of the A/BPU Brits. @phoenixperformancetraining only had two lifters in these flights. @doc_rob1972 did a solid job with some excellent lifts. Dave L. got his 500kg total for a competition which is something he has set his sights on for some time. Both guys were superb. 

A great days lifting.

Very quick photo from Day 1 of A/BPU Brits champio Very quick photo from Day 1 of A/BPU Brits championship. @tehyaleonie on her squat lift. Experimented with using a GoPro camera to capture a different sort of shot. Extra wide angle and all the action from the lifter, judges and spotters/loaders.

What a fantastic days lifting at the A/BPU Full Po What a fantastic days lifting at the A/BPU Full Power Powerlifting Championships. The ladies put on a superb show. Records both British and World were broken time and time again. A tremendous performance. As ever the @british_powerlifting_union were absolutely on point with their organisation and efficiency. Congratulations to all the lifters. 

A very strong performance by the @phoenixperformancetraining powerlifting team with British and world records taken.

I have been able to train alongside @naomi.phoenix I have been able to train alongside @naomi.phoenixperformance which is a fantastic experience. She is starting her prep for her next competition in the States. The camera has been left at home a few times now I am lifting but I still have the phone and snapped this shot of Naomi deadlifting. 

I wanted a different angle, low and ultra wide and the new iPhones work well!

A bit of a different post from the normal photos o A bit of a different post from the normal photos of lifters but decided to show that I have decided to take up powerlifting. 

I have had a lot of support and encouragement from the @phoenixperformancetraining powerlifting team and also from Tom and Naomi to give it a go. So about a month ago I decided to lift!

It’s been great to try something new, something I would never have imagined I would do. Fantastic coaching from @phoenixperformancetraining and @naomi.phoenixperformance and the entire team. Am really enjoying the team training sessions and training along with other team members. 

This is just a post of me deadlifting to show I have actually embarked on something new. 

My feed will not be full of lifts from me but just to show I understand a little bit more what you as lifters go through. I think it makes me a better photographer.

It’s been a very busy time and I am way behind P It’s been a very busy time and I am way behind Powerlift Media website work and not posted in ages here. 

A quick post with a couple of photos from Team Training sessions at the Phoenix Performance gym. Great to snap different pictures and a couple of Naomi and Tom in action. They are fantastic and hugely supportive coaches, they have built a great team atmosphere and welded together a great powerlifting team. 

They, along with the team have inspired and motivated me to have a go at some powerlifting so yes I am doing some training. Might post a video at some point.
