Abs was deadlifting tonight and managed 255kg for 7.

Paul is on this second cycle of PAULOV FSU and did 140kgx7x5 squats pretty comfortably, in his usual balls to the floor nature.

Heaps of other dedicated people training... Estee, Roberta, Dee, Courtney and more! Great to see our female population on the rise, and getting strong.



We also received our new calibrated scales (god damn these are pricey)... so our athletes can be confident that our scaled are 99.999% accurate for comp prep.



On another note we have our Twilight Bench Comp on this Saturday, the action starts from 4pm so come down check it out. If you are keen on lifting get in contact with Dan on 040 360 8056 ASAP to register. Please not the gym will be closed from 11am to prepare the venue for the event.
