Been a pretty hectic few weeks with more athletes coming on board and the powerlifting team gearing up for their states prep starting on the 11th Feb. Welcome newcomer Ben Young to the team! Ben is a junior lifter in the 90kg class who will compete for the first time at states with some impressive first timer numbers. I look forward to working with him and the rest of the team over the coming weeks as our training intensity increases.

Some highlights from Friday and Saturday at PTC:

Daz worked up to 102.5x7 on the bench, then did some board presses and then attempted 240kg deadlift but it got away from him a couple of times. Got to his about his knees ok then was a grind and the iron beat him in the end. Not too far off though.

Paul did some 64kg UDLs, banded good mornings focusing on that hip hinge, some DB bench up to 32.5kg and some rehab work.

Shanks is ready for out states prep now, he worked up to 160kg squats, benched up to 110kg for a single and did some strict pressing.

Lunus benched up to 122.5kg for a single with some triples at slightly lighter weight.

I back squatted for the first tiem since worlds and wanted to get some in before we begin our states prep next week. Worked up to 170kgx2 pretty comfortably.

Nathan came in and did his thing... squatting and then benched to 320kg single ply for a double.

Plenty of other athletes in going through their training which is great to see, including Kapish, Cassie, Dee, Dani, Mitch, Mike, Amy, Matt... list goes on.

The Saturday morning conditioning class is going really well with Paul instructing these classes expertly with a range of conditioning drills mixed with mobility and activation work. Anyone wanting to get that extra conditioning in should consider this class for only $20 a session its well worth it. First session is FREE!

Last night the PTC Perth Powerlifting team started their 11 week lead into the State Titles on April 28TH.

Dan is taking lead on this years team so I'll allow him to make any further announcements on the team.

The atmosphere in the gym last night was intense and it was a busy night.

Ando deadlifted 162.5kg for 5s at around 82kg.

Dave started on his corrective programming which includes an elaborate warmup, main lift, postural endurance work and conditioning.

Shanks deadlifted 195kg for 5s and block pulled up to 240kg.

In between coaching I cranked out 64kg UDLs with banded good mornings, 80kg KB deadlifts with banded resistance and some farmers.

Dazza deadlifted 170kg for 5s and block pulled to 240kg.

Dan squatted 130kg for 8s, paused squatted for 3s and finished with db lunges. His shoulder rehabilitation is really coming along well.

Spencer squatted 85kg for 8s, paused squatted for 3s and finished with db lunges.

Linus deadlifted 165kg for 5s and pulled 240kg of blocks.

Baxter squatted to 220kg with chains.

Les deadlifted to 270kg.

D squatted to 77.5kg for 5s.

Kelly Munro is in Perth for a few months and he started with us last night. He squatted to 170kg and benched into the triple figures.

So many more athletes were in last night soaking up the energy.

Good luck to our Powerlifting team at the State Titles. See you all in Victoria!
