    Powerlifting Plus Crossfit. Can they co-exist?

    Kind of following on from Rob's thread on conditioning. Powerlifting fundamentally is a skill based pursuit based on the expression of maximal strength, which often combines power training with bodybuilding. Crossfit is probably the most efficient activity for creating a solid fitness base...

    A legend lost

    I’m saddened to hear that our good friend Frank Manning passed away late last night. Whilst Frank wasnt a lifter himself, he was a coach, a world accredited referee, and played a pivotal role in the growth and success of the powerlifting comps I hold. Thank you Frank for your contribution...

    A new international federation was announced at the Sydney Fitness show this past weekend.

    Squat shoes

    What squat shoes do you guys reckon are any good for powerlifting? Looking for something that won't cost $300 or some retarded price like that. Something $100-150 or less would be nice, with a elevated heel for squat depth and bench press.
