about me

Hello, my name is Finn O’Farrell, I’m a 20 year old full time powerlifting coach and a competitive powerlifter.

As a quick recap of my powerlifting career so far, I competed in my first powerlifting competition in December 2022, and it went terribly and I was on the verge of quitting the sport and not competing at British nationals but I had a long think about it and decided to compete, which was the best decision I ever made. This spiralled into a British nationals win and becoming a powerlifter for team Great Britain.

I turned the passion I got from competing in the sport into starting a coaching brand to try and help others using my knowledge gained from my years of competing and years of self research and mentorship.

I started coaching in the middle of 2023, and since then I have coached over 50 clients, and coached clients through more than 30 competitions. And during this time I have been constantly learning and updating my knowledge constantly by 1-1 powerlifting coaching mentorship, self research and advanced biomechanics courses, and I plan to carry on pursuing education.

My coaching philosophy

My programming is science backed and evidence based, by using training history, evidenced backed guidelines and an AB testing method that uses trail and error to find the best program for you. My coaching is very data driven, with every change being done for a specific reason for a specific outcome.

I also always have the clients enjoyment of training in mind when programming, as most of the time training is kept mostly the same once the “perfect” program has been found , some people may find this enjoyable some people may not, so I cater to the phycological needs of the athlete by making changes when needed to keep enjoyment high, but in a way that progress is still being made to the highest degree.

And my goal as a coach is not only to help you progress but to make sure you are progressing as soon as possible, so not stalling on making changes, and getting changes done swiftly.

What do i offer?

As an online powerlifting coach, it is my goal to help you pursue all of your strength and gym goals, here is how we will achieve that.

    • Personalised programming designed to maximise your progress as efficiently as possible, whilst keeping you as injury free as possible. Also included with this will be block plans, this is where I sketch out the plan for the block, so you have an idea what the next couple weeks of training will look like.

    • Weekly 30 minute call, where we discuss the past weeks training and review your last weeks training footage to see if any technical adjustments need to be made. And on this call I will also input your next week of training and the goals for that week.

    • Daily contact throughout the week through whatsapp, where you can send in all of your training footage to be reviewed, and where you can ask any questions you may have or anything you need help with.

    • Access to my whatsapp community group chat, where you can talk to other lifters in the community, send in your lifting videos and more.

    • Meet day handling, to help you have the highest performing and smoothest competition experience possible.

    • The price for this package is £80 per month.

Client competition recaps

    2nd place at British bench press nationals for Tyler, achieving an 170kg bench press alongside that.

    Jude’s first competition working with me, achieving a massive 565kg total with an 100kg total PB and an almost perfect 8/9 day.

  • Patrik

    A great competition for Patrik, achieving a 525kg total and a 20kg total comp PB and an 8/9 day. His last competition did not go to plan, so we took a step back, made some programming changes and he came into this feeling stronger than ever and it showed!
