Bansal started powerlifting in 2006. After receiving coaching, he
began participating in inter-club competitions. Following seven
years of rigorous training, he competed in the 100kg category at the
British Powerlifting Championship in 2013. He managed to lift 185kg
in the final, securing the championship title. In 2014, he repeated
his success, improving his lift by 5kg compared to his previous
record.
In 2015, due to shoulder and elbow
injuries, he finished fourth in the bench press at the European
Championship in Ukraine, where he also faced racial abuse during the
tournament.
In April 2016, he won the
British Drug-Free Bench Press Championship, his third win in four
years. Bansal trained at Muscle Masters Gym in Wolverhampton and
believes that hard work always pays off. His final lift of 192.5kg
was more than 20kg heavier than anyone else in his weight class.

Bansal’s final lift of 192.5kg was more than 20kg heavier than
anyone else in his 100kg weight class. As a result, Harbans has been
crowned as the British Bench Press champion for the third time in
four years.
Bansal expressed his happiness with
the way he executed all his lifts in a cool and relaxed manner,
stating that being relaxed makes a massive difference in big
competitions.
