Hi Guys,

I'll be using this to keep a log of the development of PTC Sydenham and it's athletes.
 
With Powerlifting Australia having hosted the Australian Raw Sub-Junior, Junior and Masters Powerlifting Championships over the weekend, I'm proud to announce the results of the boy, men and woman I have had the privilege of working with.

In the under 63kg Junior Women we had Pocket Rocket Ariel Symon smoke her own national record squat with 127.5kg!
She backed that up by adding 10kgs to her own national bench press record with an easy 80kg, followed by a 142.5kg deadlift.
This put Ariel at a 350kg total which again, was another national record!
Dominating her division and winning gold, a big congratulatory fist bump goes to Ariel.
17 year old Baby James Konda went 8/9 squatting 185kg, bench pressing 110kg and pulling 220kg. This outstanding 515kg total won James a gold in his class while also breaking the national sub junior u74kg record! Syncharitiria Re!
Charlie Hanna has had better days in the office but came in and squatted 200kg, benched 120kg, deadlifted 250kg and JUST missed 270kg. Charlie still smoked his competition, winning gold for his class too
Last but not least - The Man Mountain himself Mr. Stefan Pizzardi.
Stefan opened on an easy 275kg squat which broke the national record. 287.5kg came up next and was possibly the first (and maybe last) time ive ever seen Stefan slow down during a rep. A gargantuan 300kg squat was attempted on his third but unfortunately was not there on the day.
Stefan nailed a bench PB at 145kg with plenty more in the tank.
Finally, he opened the deadlift with a comfy 290kg which was 17.5kg above his national record and although his second pull at 310kg looked good to most, received reds from the side.
Stefan took 317.5kg for a third and was 3/5 of a bees dick from locking out. Unlucky.
Regardless, a big thumb up to Stefan who finished the day with a new national record squat, new national deadlift record and the national SHW junior total record with 722.5kg!
A special mention to members Sam North and Trent T-Rex Graw for doing everything in their power to handle, spot and load. Jay Rovacsek for being an absolute animal, John Paul Cauchi for being an all round cool dude (kinda strong too) and Nathan Baxter for being inspirationally enormous.
Congratulations to everyone who competed over the weekend, hope to see you all at Oceanias!

Congratulations to Dennis Dcold on his efforts at the Clean Health Performance Center powerlifting meet held today.
Dennis is the guitarist in the hardcore band Relentless, and after touring the US for 2 months he was only left with 7 weeks to train. Dennis ended up with a huge total PB taking gold in his class with a monsterous 275kg squat, a conservative 142.5kg bench and a 275kg deadlift!
It will be scary if he can keep this momentum going.
Dennis will be moving to Perth at the end of the month and so we wish him all the best with everything he does.
Stay strong lads.

Records broken left, right and centre!

The past 2 weekends have been filled with our members taking what are rightfully theirs; national records :')
Last week there was Gary Young (author of the MF method e-book) at the Team Xtreme Power Challenge. For those who haven't seen, Gary's been killing it in the gym with PBs all over the place. Gary competed at the lightest he had ever weighed in at at 73.15kg. He went on and won his class, opened on a national record squat and then broke it with 227.5kg. Gary benched 155kg and deadlifted 252.5kg to finish the day with the u74kg national total record with 635kg and best overall male lifter. Just wow.
Based on Wilks Points, these comp results rank Gary as Powerlifting Australia's 5th best lifter!
