Awesome work Piki!! Well deserved.

Southern Powerlifting's first ranking list! I have a list of everyone's top Wilks scores (not age adjusted or anything) from competitions of all levels this year and here are our top 20 lifters so far in 2017. A special congratulations to the few novice lifters who made it to the top 20!

If you would like the chance to make it further up the list and/or into the final top 20 for 2017 then you can do just that at our next club/novice lift in mid November. It will be a 3-lift rather than a push/pull so your score will be eligible for this list :)

So proud of our Juniors! They finished there 10 week training block yesterday.

An awesome bunch of kids who really worked hard and we had fun doing it.
The growth and development in these kids has been huge.

Thank you to the parents for giving your kids the opportunity to develop correct movement patterns, good training habits, and building determination and GRiT!!
This combination will be so beneficial later in life as young adults and toward their sporting goals of any code.

Well done IBC Juniors.

* I will be running another training block for kids so keep an eye out for dates to come soon.

Huge day of competition, a massive congratulations Piki. You're definitely a super star and an awesome athlete to coach🏅

Five months ago Piki decided to give competition Powerlifting a go, during that time she managed to qualify for and yesterday competed at the NZ Powerlifting National Championships in Dunedin.

Piki put up massive competition PB's on all lifts which placed her 2nd overall in her category.

Back Squat - 210kg
Bench - 85kg
Deadlift - 220

Piki went for a gutsy NZ record attempt on her last lift/deadlift of the competition by this stage 2nd place was already secured - 236.5kg but couldn't quite stand it up.
She fought well and hard. Emptied the tank but the impressive thing was she never compromised her technique in order to win the lift. Piki knows where the line is to keeping her body safe and that's important. A brave call by Piki to let that lift go!

Well done Piki.

And a big thanks to her supporters that travelled up, friends and whanau. All very proud.
