⚡️ SHEFFIELD PRIDE DEADLIFT PARTY IS BACK… and we’re bringing the noise! 🏳️‍🌈🔥

On Saturday 26th September, I’ll be heading to the Sheffield Pride Deadlift Party...and this marks 3 years volunteering as chief bar loader 😉💪✨

The Deadlift Party is more than just a day of lifting heavy. It’s a celebration of LGBTQ+ strength, visibility and community, whilst aiming to raise at least £2000 to support Sheffield Palestine Cultural Exchange (SPaCE) 🏳️‍🌈❤️

What started as a celebration of strength and belonging has become one of my favourite events of the year. It’s a place where everyone is welcome — whether you’re a seasoned lifter, brand new to the barbell, or just want to come along and cheer people on.

This year I’m bringing some of my clients down too — some to spectate, some to get involved and take on the deadlift platform themselves!

If you’ve never been before, this is your sign to come along:

👀 Come watch some epic deadlifts
🔥 Cheer on lifters of all abilities
💪 Have a go yourself and see what you can lift
🤝 Meet an amazing community

Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or an ally, a powerlifter or a complete beginner - there’s a place for you here.

📌 Layco Works, Smithfield, Sheffield S3 7AR
📌 26th Sept 2026
📌 12-5pm

All proceedings will go to Sheffield Palestine Cultural Exchange (SPaCE). They work with grassroots organisations in Palestine to improve the lives of young people in Gaza and the Occupied Territories.

I’ve been trying to find the right words, but I don’t think there are any really.

I worked with Alice for 2 and a half years as her coach, but over the last 12 months, when my personal life started going through big changes she became a friend (and cocktail buddy 🍸)

She was always up for a laugh, always game for a group social, and loved having a big deadlift! 🔥

A highly regarded member of the team. Her energy, laughter and kindness will be missed by so many in Mud & Muscle.

I’ll be sure to raise a glass to you my friend🥃🥃 cheers!

This is exactly why I do what I do 💪

As a woman, being "strong" isn’t just a look.

It’s a mindset to break through stereotypical norms.

Its a new standard of life that you set yourself,

and it will positively impact every area of your life, not just in the gym.

I really appreciate messages like this and thank you for being part of it 💪🏼
