Robert King

I am an entrepreneur, writer, and coach. My current project has been focused on creating and developing an online community for women called Women Who Lift Weights. For the past 9 years I owned and operated Heavy Weights Training Center, a gym focused on strength training, powerlifting, and body transformation. Most of my clients consisted of women. Coaching I have a remarkably diverse background with regards to coaching. I was the Team Canada Head Coach for the 2019 Masters Equipped World Championship that took place in South Africa, the 2019 IPF World Open Championships in UAE Dubai, and the 2019 North American Powerlifting Federation Championships in Costa Rica. I was also assistant coach for Team Canada at the 2019 World Bench Press Championships that took place in Tokyo, Japan. I have coached thousands of people from varying sports and fitness levels. My major focus has been women’s fitness and bikini; recently, I have put more of my attention on powerlifting and strength training. Writing I have had the pleasure of writing for some of the top fitness websites and magazines in the world. Some of the magazines include Strong Fitness Magazine, Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Inside Fitness, Muscle Insider, The PTDC, and Elite FTS. BigBenchas.com, T-Nation.com, and Schwarzenegger.com are just a few of the websites. Competing I have a diverse background in strength sports, martial arts, bodybuilding, weightlifting, and powerlifting. Currently, my focus has been competitive powerlifting. I have competed in more than 50 powerlifting competitions and was selected to represent Team Canada 13 times. My best accomplishments on the Platform are: • five-time World Medallist • three-time Commonwealth Champion • five-time NAPF (North American Powerlifting Champion) • Pan Am Champion • Commonwealth Deadlift Record Holder and National Record Holder • Multiple Time Canadian National Champion In June of 2018 I had a total hip replacement. A year and a half later, in October 2019, I competed at the IPF Equipped Masters Worlds Championship in South Africa where I was also the Head Coach for Team Canada. I took home three World’s medals that included a bronze in squat, bronze in deadlift, and bronze for overall. It was a lifetime achievement to get on the World’s Overall Podium.
