So it's been a while since I've updated this and I sincerely apologise. I'll do my best to update on everything that has happened since last time.
We hosted the GPC ACT State Titles Sunday March 16. Full results and a write up can be found
here. There was some massive lifting on the day highlighted by Alex Lowe going 300/220/320 for 840kg at 99.6kg. Alex is in a class of his own at the moment.
We have Antony "Physio Detective" Lo presenting a 5 hour seminar on mobility and movement patterns this weekend. More info and tickets can be found
here.
Our first 3 lift Novice & Improvers Powerlifting comp will be on Sunday April 13. Entry forms are
here and can be emailed to
sherro@ptccanberra.com.au. In preparation for the comp I will be running Powerlifting 101 this Sunday April 6. The course is designed to introduce people to the rules and regulations of powerlifting competition. All are welcome. More info
here.
Quite a few of the guys are coming towards the end of their first full training cycle. The highlight so far is Mike. At 53 years old Mike tested at 180/175/190 when he first arrived. This week so far he has squatted 190kg in just a belt, benched 180 and deadlifted 200kg. Mike will be stepping onto the platform for the first time at the first full power novice meet next Sunday. He should go close to 600kg in his first comp. Old man muscle is the key.
The gym is really starting to take shape. If you haven't already check out the walkthrough I put up
here.
I will endeavour to keep this thread as up to date as possible. I have setup a fortnightly email newsletter that will have some updates but also training and nutrition articles and other random fun stuff. You can sign up for said newsletter
here.
I think that's all for now.
