KCL Barbell Club

Last but not least, we have the president for 2025-26, Hamza.

The man with (supposedly) the best barber in London is not only a big bencher, but also has a big appetite.
If there is any nutritional guidance needed- please feel free to DM him (please don’t - he’s not qualified).

This handsome man alongside Alana will be the key to KCL barbell’s success at varsity, BUCS and BUPL.

Introducing our vice president, we have Alana!

Alana is not only an extremely good baker (her cookies always look so good) but also incredibly strong !

This year she will ensure the smooth running of the club, so if there is any concerns, please feel free to reach out to her.

Introducing our women’s captain, we have Iris.

Iris is not just a keen powerlifter but also extremely talented in calisthenics.

It will be exciting to see how the blend of strength sports will translate into powerlifting for the girls this year !

Introducing our men’s captain for this year, we have Hussain.

Being a thorough and detailed man (evident in the length of his warmups) he will be one of your first point of contact when it comes to programming and coaching.

Excited to see what Hussain can do this year !

Introducing Xin, our treasurer for this year.

When he is not knees deep in his MSC Computer Science course, Xin is a fellow coffee enthusiasts.

Unfortunately his milk steaming is not as good as his taste buds.
Let’s hope he does not embezzle the funds this year for his caffeine addiction.

Introducing Mr Gian Patel as our Social Secretary.

A stupidly strong bencher and also incredibly talented placing 3rd at the 2025 BUCS.
His secret ? The crowd hype will add 10kilos to his final dead.

Gian will bring forth a range of new socials- aiming to unite KCL barbell members.

Introducing Yixuan as our social media officer.

A man who has jumped ships from UCL Barbell to QM Barbell before settling in KCL Barbell- he has found his true home.

Poverty deadlifter and a dilly daller let’s hope he runs the page well this year.

Our best u105 and Varsity coach .pl is competing today! Join in to see him break some PRs!
