Next Level Barbell Club

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas Day yesterday, ate all the food, changed into your comfy trousers and ate even more, we are back open as normal tomorrow until New Year’s Eve and then when normal life resumes why not consider getting yourself down to a gym where an Olympic champion trains, the man you see in this post… he is a smart man, he knows what’s what, he trains at Next Level Barbell Club because he knows what’s best for those new year strength gains, big changes coming for us next year too when we expand and create something even bigger for 2026, watch this space.

Who has squats today? Do you squat deep enough? Just be sure to make sure you do if you have it in comp? We have a powerlifting meet coming up in January and a strongman comp in March both with squats so don’t fall short and hit that depth

You guys competition ready? January the 10th is the first Next Level Barbell Club powerlifting comp, it’s open to novice lifters and open level lifters, have you ever considering competing before? This comps for you, come and be part of something new for Next Level, time to get your prep on.

What are you looking at in this picture? No, not the idiot in a cap, that’s just me… I mean the fractional plates, these, some might say are the most important thing you’ll find in a powerlifting gym, microloading is essential to help long term progress, they help to peak precisely for meets, they help new lifters make their jumps more assessible and safe and competitive lifters expect them, and rightly so

Deficit deadlift, which is a deadlift variation that builds solid power off the floor and increases the posterior chain strength, also does wonders for the quads.

🚨 Meet Coach Dan Cumberworth! 🚨

With 15+ years in the fitness industry, Dan brings expertise in strength & conditioning, rehab, and adaptive training. He’s coached athletes across sports from BJJ to motorsport, and even supported a GB Paralympian at Rio 2016 🏅.

A former GB martial arts competitor (multi-time World & British Champion) and Masters Olympic Weightlifting medallist, Dan knows what it takes to perform, recover, and stay strong for the long run.

We’re very happy to have him at Next Level Barbell Club 💪 — be sure to say hi when you see him around the gym!
