Do we need to start a powerlifting only thread?

I understand that lots of people in the gym dont give a rats about strength, but if there are enough that want to know about powerlifting, training, comps, gyms in each state etc, we'll do it

For those that dont know I am the President of GPC Australia (Global Powerlifting Comittee)

I also own the only professional powerlifting Fed ever in Oz, ProRawPowerlifting. We gave away $13,000 in 2011

I also started PTC (Performance Training Centre) in Frankston. We now have a PTC in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney with Adelaide opening up around Christmas. They are all strength based gyms, all involved in powerlifting

Let me know your thoughts

If any of you guys feel like helping out some of the NSW peeps that would be great.

They have just started a thread for all of them to get healthy.

Seems to be a lack of good info other then exercise.

Drop in and give some tips if you have some free time

Google 'definitive guide to fat loss and body recomposition' then find Markos' PTC newsletter. Link them that. Even though is not write their aim (since it's from a weight lifter's perspective really, and focuses on muscle retention) it's definitely what they need to see.

This sounds like a great idea. Would be keen for you to share your knowledge in there as I'm a PT, but I would like to study more strength and conditioning type work (I'd like to work with athletes eventually) so powerlifting-specific training interests me.

You should open a PTC in Canberra :thumbsup:

Been doing a new training routine, I am a big boy so open to criticism :P

Bent Row 3 x 10

Powercleans 3 x 10

DAY 4

REST, go running, I run on any day I feel upto it really.

DAY 5 Restart cycle again.

That's awesome news Markos. Without a doubt it would skyrocket the popularity of powerlifting here in Canberra.

The only gym I have been to that has a decent setup for that sort of stuff is the actas gym in lyneham.

I'd get into it a bit more if the facilities were available and it wasn't twice as expensive as other gyms!

Elite Physique is hands down the best PL gym in Canberra, and it has quite a few elite powerlifters training there

They are in the process of buying more specialist bars, they already have a monolift and a platform

Katie Foster trains there, she deadlifted 182.5kg@75kg at the Nats

The owner, Billy, is possibly Australias best deadlifter, trained at Westside in Columbus, Ohio

Unfortunately from what I hear all too often, there are a few too many stereotypical twats at Elite for my liking :( not to say that there aren't the same kinda douchebags at my current gym because there certainly are, it's just something that puts me off the idea of Elite. Seems just that touch too close to 'franchise' gyms which is also understandably hard to avoid.

I almost (jokingly) convinced Billy to swap me his ZR1 for my R33 at the traffic lights one time. That car is amazing....and struck me as a REALLY awesomely nice guy too, wasn't egotistic at all and very friendly. Definite +respect for Elite.

Pretty happy with my chest/tri session today!

Got out 4 sets (8,8,7,6) of the 37.5kg dumbells on incline bench and then the same on flat bench straight after. May not be big for some, but I'm stoked on it!

Followed that up with cable flyes, weighted dips, cgbp and skull crushers. Bring on the doms!

I like it (extra points for the powercleans, jump squats and clap push ups... I love that stuff!)... no overhead or specific shoulder work in there though?

Thanks Nick,

that's a good point, what do you reckon ? there are a few exercises that hit the shoulders in there as a secondary sort of thing.

Also GW Mitcho

So one of my closest friends is currently in hospital undergoing all these different scans etc.

Yesterday after doing his stupid style of training he finished and passed out now he can hardly speak and has developed a crazy stutter that makes it pretty much impossible for him to speak.

He was doing a stupid leg thing where he presses his shoulder against a pole and holds onto it while lifting his legs in the air. So he looks like a plank.

He calls it calisthenics.

The guy he does it with has no clue how it could have happened but both of them are amateurs and have no clue about where nerves are or correct style etc

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
