Question 1

Is there any parking available?

Accepted Answer

No parking at the venue. The easiest way to get to us is via train - the nearest station is Vauxhall which is a 6 minute walk away

Question 2

Can I come alone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!! Every single powerhouse that came to the last 3 events came alone.
This is exactly why we have our exclusive community space in the lead up to the event day.
Some of the women even met up beforehand to walk in together (having never met before!!). THIS is the power of this space!

Question 3

Do I need ay special equipment? (singlet, belt, sleeves etc)

Accepted Answer

Nope! You don’t need any specific gear - just your usual training clothes and whatever equipment you already use (belt, sleeves, shoes, etc.). If you want to try out comp kit, it’s a great way to practice before a real meet, but it’s 100% optional.

Question 4

Is this for females only?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This event was built with women in mind - not just the training, but the community vibe too, so to protect the integrity of this space, this is a female-only experience.

Question 5

If I've never done SBD before, but I love the sound of this event, can I still come?

Accepted Answer

Simple question: do you want to get stronger, build confidence under the bar, and meet an incredible community of women?If so, YES. This event is perfect for you!!
You don’t need years of lifting experience or the “perfect” squat, bench, and deadlift technique to join. This is where you’ll learn it!

Question 6

What do I get access to?

Accepted Answer

Think of this less like “buying a ticket” and more like unlocking a whole experience built around YOU becoming the kind of lifter who walks onto a platform with confidence. Included: Teams competition entry (optional), community chat access, pre-event online trainings, personal video package!!

Question 7

What's the difference between this and a traditional powerlifting competition?

Accepted Answer

A normal powerlifting comp you compete as an individual across all 3 lifts ( squat, bench, deadlift)
It’s your total that matters. This is not that.
At StrongHER, you'll be in a team of 3 lifters and each person takes ownership of just one lift:
→ One squats
→ One benches
→ One deadlifts

Question 8

If I've never competed before is this suitable for me?

Accepted Answer

This is perfect for your first experience!!
You’re not just competing, you’re being coached into the experience.
You’ll:
→ Learn in the workshop
→ Practice in a supportive environment
→ Then apply it on the platform
It’s a guided first step, not a sink-or-swim situation ?

Question 9

How do the teams work?

Accepted Answer

Each team is made up of 3 lifters:
→ 1 Squat
→ 1 Bench
→ 1 Deadlift

Each person is responsible for just one lift, and your scores are combined using IPF GL points.

So you’re not doing everything - just showing up for your lift and backing your team!

Question 10

Do I already need a team to come?

Accepted Answer

Nope!

You can:
→ Sign up with your own team
→ Or come solo and build your team on the day

And honestly… meeting your team there might end up being one of the best parts of the whole event ?

Question 11

What if I’m not very strong yet? Will I hold my team back?

Accepted Answer

No!!!
Scoring is done using IPF GL points, which adjusts for bodyweight.

So it’s not about who lifts the most weight - it’s about relative performance.

Every lifter contributes. Every lift matters.

Question 12

How many attempts do I get?

Accepted Answer

You’ll follow a competition-style format for your lift (3 attempts), with commands and judging -  just like a real comp.
But without the overwhelm of managing all three lifts across the day.
But you’ll have already practiced this in the workshop - so it won’t feel unfamiliar or overwhelming

Question 13

Is it judged like a normal competition?

Accepted Answer

Yes - you’ll have official refs and commands, but we'll be doing a brief on the day as well as plenty of resources inside of our community in the build up to the competition!!

This means you get a real platform experience & It’s the perfect way to build confidence before doing a full meet.

Question 14

What if I mess up a lift?

Accepted Answer

Then you learn - and that’s the whole point of this. GIRL you’re human ??

This is a low-stakes environment designed for learning and experience.
No one is expecting perfection - this is about:
→ Trying
→ Learning
→ Building confidence on the platform

That's it!! And we'll all be there to cheer

Question 15

What should I expect on the day?

Accepted Answer

A supportive, high-energy environment where everyone is there to:
→ Push themselves
→ Cheer each other on
→ Have fun with lifting

Think: competition structure… with StrongHER energy ??

Question 16

Can I do just one lift without being in a team?

Accepted Answer

Yes! 100%.
If you want to:
→ Just squat
→ Just bench
→ Just deadlift

You can absolutely do that without joining a team!! StrongHER is alllll about having fun and giving you the experience

You can:
→ Take part in the workshop
→ Choose one lift
→ And experience the platform without joining a team

Question 17

I'm nervous - is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Completely!! I've had messages before every single event with people feeling nervy - it's part of the experience, you're a human being!!

You’re not stepping into a high-pressure, intimidating meet…
You’re stepping into a room  full of women doing it with you.

Question 18

Do I have to take part in the teams competition?

Accepted Answer

No, this is completely optional.
You can:
→ Compete as part of a team
→ Do a single lift solo
→ Or simply come, learn, and enjoy the day

No pressure. No expectation. Just come and enjoy the experience, soak up the SBD masterclass and cheer along (but I WILL WARN YOU, you may not be able to resist?

Question 19

What happens before the competition?

Accepted Answer

Before anyone steps onto the platform, we’ll be running a 2-hour SBD workshop.

We:
→ Break down squat, bench, and deadlift execution
→ Go through commands and competition standards
→ Help you feel confident in what’s expected
→ Give you the chance to practice before lifting on the platform

Question 20

What can I expect from the day overall?

Accepted Answer

A mix of:
→ Learning (SBD workshop)
→ Practicing (before the platform)
→ Performing (if you choose to compete)
→ Supporting (the most unreal environment of lifters)

It’s structured. It’s supportive. And it’s actually fun.

Question 21

What does the full day look like?

Accepted Answer

The day is designed as a full experience — not just a competition.

You’ll move through three phases:

✨ VIP Morning (optional upgrade) – mindset & identity work
✨ SBD Workshop (included) – learn, refine & prepare
✨ Teams Competition (optional) – step onto the platform

Question 22

What is the VIP experience?

Accepted Answer

The VIP morning is an intimate, small-group experience before the main event.

This is where we go deeper into:
→ Mindset
→ Identity
→ How you show up as a lifter

It’s about building the athlete before you step into the room.

Question 23

Who is the VIP for?

Accepted Answer

This is for the lifter who doesn’t just want to attend…
she wants to fully step into a new level of herself.

If you know:
→ You overthink your lifts
→ You struggle with confidence or execution
→ You want to feel locked in before the day even begins

VIP is for you.

Question 24

What's the difference between VIP and the Main event?

Accepted Answer

The main event gives you:
→ Skill development (workshop)
→ Platform experience (competition)

VIP gives you:
→ The internal shift before any of that happens

So instead of walking in unsure, hesitant, or in your head…
you’re walking in grounded, clear, and ready.

Question 25

Is VIP necessary to enjoy the whole day?

Accepted Answer

Not at all — the main event is incredible on its own.

But VIP is for the woman who wants to:
→ Get the most out of the day
→ Feel fully prepared mentally
→ And experience a deeper level of transformation

Question 26

What happens during the SBD workshop?

Accepted Answer

Before the competition, we run a 2-hour SBD workshop where you’ll:

→ Refine your squat, bench, and deadlift
→ Learn commands and competition standards
→ Practice in a supportive environment
→ Build confidence before stepping on the platform

You’re not just thrown into lifting, you’re prepared
