Handlr /ˈhandlr/

A handlr is your no-bullshit friend on a comp day.

They'll keep you pumped through the high-stress moments, handle the little things so you can lock in, and make sure you're ready to crush it.

Or if all you need is a friendly face in a new venue, they can do that too.

Why do I need a handlr?

  • Do you get flustered trying to keep track of your attempts and running order?
  • Has your performance dipped because you weren't properly fuelled or hydrated?
  • Does the noise and chaos of competitions make it hard for you to focus?
  • As a new lifter, are you intimidated by the competition environment?
  • Do you want to learn from experienced handlers how to better motivate other lifters?
  • Competing at a new venue got you stressed?

If any of those hit home for you, having a handlr at your next comp could be a game-changer. It could be the next best thing for your powerlifting.

What happens after I’ve booked a handler?

After we’ve found an available handler for you, you'll receive:

  1. A confirmation email 📧
  2. A questionnaire to provide more details, including:
    • Competition-specific timings and details
    • Relevant training information
    • Competition goals/strategy
    • Your experience level
    • Preferred handling style (lots of energy/hype, motivational, zen-like 🧘)
    • Any other helpful information you want your handler to know

This allows the handler to have everything they need to best support you on the day, so you can stay focused on your lifts.

If we can’t find an available handler for you, we’ll still get in touch within 48 hours to let you know.

You’ll still hear from us within 48 hours to say none of our handlers are available. We recommend booking a handler at least three weeks before your competition.
