This is the very last qualifier for the A/WPC European Championships 2026, entries for this will close pretty much immediately after this competition. This is also a qualifier for the full power A/BPU British Championships 2026 which is the only way you can get to the AWPC World Championships in Manchester, UK and WPC World Championships in the USA.
Our qualifiers at the Strength Therapy are very special. Not only is it the baby and lair of the the famous Polish lifter Andrzej Roszkowski it is also home to one of our best UK lifters Tom Martin. The venue has outstanding equipment and most people who lift here are well versed with the awesome atmosphere this creates.
The venue is very compact so we limit the number of entries to a quite small number for us of 30 lifters only per day. This venue suits the more experienced lifters who know the ropes or those who are maybe at the start or mid point of their powerlifting journey who want to lift amongst the big names. You will find this a very accepting but powerful environment so be prepared to get carried away with an electric atmosphere.
Entry forms are below but please be aware this venue gets sold out very quickly.
