1 in 10,000? Is this a thing?

350SQ 195BP 320DL = 865kg @104.5kg, 522.58 DOTS. 13 years in the making (2016). 350kg squat took 13 failed attempts across 5 years before finally making it. PRs in bench and DL on the same day meant I knew it was "all time" the moment I locked out the 3rd dead, a truly unforgettable feeling ๐Ÿ™

This sort of total being achieved raw (by a junior ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ˜†) shows just how far the sport has come in Australia over the last decade and just awesome to see!

A diverse range of activities can help with injury prevention, particularly for long term single sport athletes (especially static sports like powerlifting). I encourage all my masters athletes to explore new challenges (sensibly) and embrace old skills.

After helping with APA Nats set up and no longer being required for refereeing, family time on the Yarra looked like a pretty good option for the weekend!

Congratulations to all involved with APA Open Nationals ๐Ÿ‘ It looked awesome on the stream ๐Ÿ˜Ž

End of an era ๐Ÿ˜Ž

After achieving the long term goal of two decades of 300kg competition deadlifts on the second attempt, I got to have some fun and take a moment to enjoy the end of a journey that began in 2003. Not planning on saying goodbye to the comp platform forever, but an end to forcing my body to chase competition numbers.

I was later asked by what it felt like to know you are on the other side of your peak strength and the answer I was looking for is "grateful". Very grateful to have done it on my own terms as I've been around long enough to know that doesn't happen very often.

Finished as it started, a great day of lifting at a local comp with family and friends. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Powerlifting has given me so much, but it has come at a cost of training variety and recreational sport.

Looking forward to new priorities and opportunities! ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks again to all those who made that day so special! ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ
