As a sport powerlifting is growing in popularity and participation year on year so it was great to chat with the dream team behind Barbell Coalition, who are pushing the standards higher and higher, Ibrahim Dridi, Stephan Karidis and Mahin Zafar. 

Seeing the passion and love for the sport of powerlifting from these guys it’s clear they are driven to spread that feeling with the athletes and coaches they work with. You only have to look at the results they are producing and the content and information they put out there.  

In this chat, as well as a lot more topics and tangents, we covered: 

• Working as a team of coaches, as well as the wins and challenges 

• Developing powerlifting athletes from universities 

• Professionalism in powerlifting
