My prep for the last Powerlifting comp of the year is just about into its final week. Tonight I simulated a comp day warmup for the deadlift, which culminated in what will be my first attempt (of three), if everything is goes to plan.

Since Nationals, I’ve had a bit of a mental issue with deadlifts, and after scaling back the weight a bit, I’ve regained some sort of confidence. The 220kg I get here is the heaviest I’ve let myself lift since June. That little hurdle has been cleared now, and hopefully I push back into PB territory on Sunday week.

PS- on December 8 at OnyxFit in Bibra Lake, the strongest lifters in WA will be fighting it out in the Power to Weight State Titles. We’ve got World Champions, National Champions, and State and National Record holders in the field, so it’ll be a cracker of a show!

Over the past 10 weeks our Girls Who Lift class have been undergoing a powerlifting program. The girls have shown great improvement over these 10 weeks and all accomplished new Max’s on the 3 main lifts; Squat, Bench and Deadlift.

Today's post is a shoutout to Ngarangi Hansen who at 16 years old has managed to get a 140kg squat, 140kg deadlift and 70kg bench. Over the past 10 weeks, Ngarangi has also watched her nutrition, fuelling her body with the correct nutrients and has managed to drop 13kg of weight 💪

A month focusing on my relative weaknesses in the bench press (sticking point an inch off the chest, and general shoulder stability) after Nationals seems to have worked with a new all time PB of 130kg. That betters the 127.5 I did just before I blew out my left shoulder back in January 2017.

I had a crack at 132.5, but missed that on a technicality... my butt cheek lost contact with the bench. The accidental ‘slo-mo’ vision on this attempt makes it look like I’m seriously struggling, but I’ll get it next time for sure!

I think it’s pretty safe to say that my shoulder is doing pretty well, and stem cell therapy works 👍
