ICYMI TSF won the challengers bracket at TSF Team Champs 😭😭🤩😍😍😤😤😤🥰🥰🥰🥰💛

So much work over so many years has gone in to this result. We are so damn proud of not only the team, but the whole club who have worked together and supported one another to achieve this result.

kaley really set the tone for the day when she locked out a huge PB squat with 110kg. The squad was on 🤩 She went 8/9 with PBs in both the squat and deadlift, securing four points for TSF on day one.

Paul Llanes sent his total in to another galaxy with a 57.5kg PR total and a perfect 9/9 day. His result secure six points on day one, and second place in the 83kg class overall, behind only the competitions overall best male lifter.

Bernie lifted valiantly. She was phenomenally strong on the day and a few missed lifts meant her result didn’t really show what she was overall capable of. Alas her huge 385kg total put her in fourth place at the end of day one.

Sealing the deal at the end of the day was Dani, who possesses the character that is able to shoulder the weight of all of the hopes and dreams of the club 😂 Dani’s final deadlift secured the win for TSF. 9/9 day, PBs on all lifts, and hit the nationals qualifying total all in one go.

We could not be more proud of this quad, Joshua Luu for his tremendous leadership, Jeremy Borzillo for his unrivalled support, and everyone at TSF who has brought energy, inspiration, support and love to this club and this team. While the four lifted the bar, this was a result of the passion of a whole club.

So inexplicably proud of this whole team ❤️

the best of team champs 💖💛✨

We had 116 volunteer roles to fill over three days, and we did it with ease and surplus help.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who made this past weekend possible. Team Champs and powerlifting meets at large are such a labour of love. Impossible without the people who love it too.

Guys, the action doesn’t stop 😁😅

Head Coach flies out to Lithuania today to compete at the IPF Open World Championships. Words don’t come close to describing how we feel about this guy.

We’ve partnered with Barbarian Brewery and they’ve agreed to put Powerlifting on their big screen for us 😁

The Sunday 5pm session features four Australian lifters competing across the 52kg and 66kg classes.

All who love powerlifting welcome for drinks, Sunday roast and PL at the pub 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

76 year old Carol working on some plyometrics — 30cm drop into 60cm broad jump.

Note; this is something Carol has built towards over weeks.

She has a solid strength foundation and so working on some speed and power means she has even more agility for every day life. That means capacity to hike, ride her bike and move through the world independently for many years to come!

Coupled with strong bones and muscles, it means her risk of falls and injury is incredibly low ☺️

Love your work C dub 😎

Meet Amy 😁 She’ll be stepping on the competition platform for the third time this weekend.

Amy began training with us online, way back in 2021, and a short (🤪) three years later, she finally moved in to the gym to train with us face to face. Her training really took off then.

To say we’re proud of her work ethic would be a massive understatement. What a brilliant human to have among the team 🦋
