IPF/EPF 74KG POWERLIFTER CHRIS WONG
During the IPF European Classics I met Lawrence who was my handler and coach of the day. At this point I was looking for an online coach.
With Lawrence’s extensive career and track record training champions I knew he was the man for the job. During Lawrence’s guidance we did regular check ins and video feedback for all my lifts. I was introduced to fresh ideas and techniques to work on which resulted in several training personal bests.
If you have plateau in your lifts or just looking for an knowledgable coach that will take charge of your training then I highly recommend Strength Coach Farncombe.
IPF/EPF LLIFTER NATE SHAW
Coach Farncombe has a reputation, in powerlifting, as being one of if not the best coach in Britain. After working with him for only 10 months I won the All England Championships, the Commonwealth Championship and set two national records . I am currently ranked 9th in Europe and the World.

As a coach and lifter I have learnt so much from Coach Farncombe, not only has Lawrence coached me to win British and European championships he has always placed me in the best position and at the right time to allow my lifting career to grow.

Developing as a lifter and the coach is all about learning, I cannot think of better coach to learn under them Lawrence, he has probably coached more lifters to international level then any other GB coach. This is not to mention his vast experience he has at international level coaching the GB team to numerous successive championships
JOZEF MALIK - POWER LIFTER
I always wanted to compete in power- lifting, but was not necessarily the most gifted when it came to relative strength. Needless to say I had a hunger, and with Coach’s knowledge he helped me gain the strength I needed to win several divisionals, and placed 4th at the British Championships. I can’t wait for my next comp.
72kg LIFTER EMILY WILLIAMS
I can honestly say Lawrance is one of the most passionate and dedicated coaches I know.
As well as programming all my training, with his extensive knowledge, he has taught me how to perfect my technique in all three lifts in such a short period of time. He has a specific eye for detail, which has really helped with my progress in my first year of powerlifting.
Sessions with Lawrance are always filled with a balance of focus, hard work, laughs and banter. This is what has made learning from him incredibly easy!
IPF POWERLIFTER PELIN BAYKAL
BRITISH, EUROPEAN AND WORLD CHAMPION
Before my first ever powerlifting competition I was told by my therapists I would never lift enough to be a competitive powerlifter, Lawrence said to me 'forget about any limitations others put on you, no one can tell you what you can and can’t achieve take it from me'. Since then I have competed at the highest level of powerlifting winning too many British championships to count getting Bronze/Silver and gold medals at the IPF 2015-2016 world championships. can honestly say Lawrance is one of the most passionate and dedicated coaches I know.
Daniella Summers
I’m a newcomer to the powerlifting but love this sport! Under Coach Farncombe's guidance my technique and numbers keep going up. I have learnt so much in such a little space of time, which is invaluable to me as a personal trainer. Coach Francombe’s knowledge of training methodologies is truly mind blowing.
NATASHA GROSHER
I had a good athletic base from competing as a junior, but did not achieve my potential in sprinting, I showed an interest in power lifting, then my coach, Lawrence Farncombe really gave me help and pushed me to achieve a great deal in a very short period of time. Within 2 years I won silver in the British raw power-lifting championship and set a record in the squat event.
TIM TRAN
Coach Farncombe was recommended to me as a prestigious S&C coach. Within 6 weeks, I competed in my first competition winning the All English Championships. He helped me do this through teaching the importance of body biomechanics and techniques which enabled me to perform stronger lifts, I was able to lift up to 15% on my total with almost no strength work in a very short time.
