When training is fun , even though it was a m**o heavy ass day and its real late grinding it out at the local 24 / 7 gym... like 11 pm !!! But that's how it goes sometimes. Gotta keep hitting the total body killaz and achieve monthly targets
Building slowly and beginning to add some exercise variety to the routine ( the same old accessory lifts become a little mundane at times ) ... in this case , Hex or trap bar lifts as a full body conditioner where its possible to rep a little heavier in a full body exercise ... iron ass gluteal chain conditioner ;)

192.5 kg (423 lb) trap lifts singles

Ali. B knocking out 112.5kg / 247 lb triples !!!

Always a pleasure to assist in training someone as dedicated to their goals as Alison is .

The slow march continues .... 2 kg at a time

‘You don’t feel the size. You feel the power’: The largest wave ever surfed It took 18 months to measure, but Germany’s Sebastian Steudtner has officially ridden the biggest wave ever surfed.

So we are back training again and it feels like I'm 132 years old 😁 So sore .
Sadly no lifting training for the longest time yet due to ongoing shoulder rehab but happy to be on the training track to some extent
Building strength, speed, agility, mobility and stretching with clients in an athletic manner as we climb back to toward the full training grind ;)
11 or so months of shoulder and elbow rehab ahead and hopefully will be ready to actually train properly again because seriously a severe case of ants in the pants ... Truly champing at the bit to be genuinely active. Steady she goes .
Actually started back 13 weeks ago with planks, shuttle runs , bike , stair drills etc.
Down 20 kilos from comp weight and striving to regain fitness. Peace # #

Soft work

Week 5 Day 2

Stair drills 2 x 10
Shuttle sprints 5 x 5 x 25m
Core stables 10 x 30 seconds
Step ups 3 x 10
Wall squats 3 x 10
Farmers walks 3 x 100 m with 10s 😄

Short rest periods and high intensity working at a baseline of around 155 bpm

Shoulder rehab has begun... said no to the injections and going about it the right way
Approx 16 months of baby weights and stretches xx
I'll be back

So a torn Supraspinatus(rotator cuff) . Awaiting medical imaging to gauge the degree of tear. Hoping for a grade 1 so it's non-surgical but shall wait and see .
Onwards to injections.... physio .... and fn rehab :(
Regardless of the degree of injury.... I will not be giving up on this powerlifting journey and will be back 100 percent . So ill share all the various things that happen over the next few months and anyone who experiences a similar issue may be able to glean a thing or 2 from the upcoming journey.





MY POWERLIFTING COMP RESULTS

Months and months of brutal hard grind came to a head on Saturday and I went to test myself against the best natties in the country on the bench press . :)
Started out so excited and turned into a disastrous day at the office haha. Id blown my shoulder out partially approx 3 months ago and nursed it all the way to the meet on limited training .
Up at 5 am or did I sleep.🤔... I dont think I did lol.. nervous as all hell. Ate like a pig . Vitamisn water ... all good. Lots of foam rolling before warmups . Rolled in for 7 am weigh in and warmed up for lifts around 9 . Felt good warming up and a huge comraderie around the other lifters with a great bond forged between the super heavies( the big fellas like lifting against other big fellas ) . Went out for my first press with a kratos stripe painted on my face and a nice snug lycra number as is the norm in this game.
Looked at the crowd and felt totally at home and confident ....
A total newbie mistake on the first lift ...missed the commands and just pressed lol. Foul
2nd bench approx 5 cm off the chest on the way down.... the shoulder tore a little and flattened me . Dropped the bar on my chest and saved by the spotter . Foul
So disqualified in my first outing.
Regardless I learned a lot . This is no place.for the feint of heart because if it were easy ... everyone would do it and they don't. So I rest easy in the knowledge that I attempted a very difficult task.
Preparation for a powerlifting meet has to be on point. Lesson learned. Next time ..
Its phone off for a month in advance .
Never lift injured if it will screw your year up... lesson learned lol. Have worked out the comeback already.
A competition lift and gym lifts whether paused or not are light years apart when standing on the platform in front of hundreds of excited people when you're wearing a kratos God of war stripe . Lesson learned ....but ill still go as Kratos in the next meet . Its my thing now.
Conclusion ...it was a sh*tload of fun regardless . Professionally run by Raw Strength Tasmania and a great atmosphere.
Lifted against Brendon Moroney and he took the national 45-49 year SHW record with a 196 kg epic lift . We laughed afterwards and smoked a couple of ciggies sharing stories of war and committed to competition against each other again. Great fella and a super heavyweight bond established.
Wash up.... I was disqualified for no lifts and wore a decent extension to the shoulder injury but heh physical rehab was the game this week regardless and I won't die wondering if I could have or should have lol. Its happened and a great lesson overall. I won't be a newbie next time will I :) Still.... it left me in a mass downward funk until about an hour ago :)
Regardless of how things panned out . I've realised that competing in a sanctioned meet and becoming an actual powerlifter that i did hit some goals, joyously meeting them with open arms.
I cant compete at the nats because I didn't get a lift but that's no big.
So it's time for early shoulder rehab for a few weeks . Get this right for round 2 and onwards to December for another crack . Ill add another lift ... deadlift . So push/pull (bench and deads)next time with the same goals and a view towards full 3 lift meets next year .
Tyvm to my team for supporting the hell out of me and for being there always when others fell off the pace at the first sign of pain or difficulty. They're a courageous bunch if I ever saw a courageous bunch xx and ty to you my followers for encouraging the effort . I was as gracious in defeat as I will be in victory... guaranteed .
Ty to Matt McKay for the competition. It was a blast and ill be back soon . Stronger, faster and better than before .

'THE ABILITY TO HURT '

Training is mentally and physically taxing. A beloved former coach called this an “ability to hurt”. “Anyone can suffer, they all do in training. But when they’re in pain, some guys fold with one move ... but you will never fold.
When people try to defeat you, they’ll have to try again and again and again. You'll suffer, but your mind stays in the game.”

So ... 3 days out from competition. Nearly time to don the obligitary one piece lycra and push up the best lifts possible on the day.
My training lead up for this event ( Raw strength open) has been regularly interrupted with some insignificant and some significant injuries. But really...? I would imagine that everyone competing will be paddling that exact same boat and doing their best :) Zimmer frames ahoy ;)
Bench press looks like a seriously hot item with a quality natty contingent lining up for both the Mens and Womens events... A few PA champions and record holders in that mix. A great day to be amongst it in Tassie.
Will be back on at the end of the week . A few vids and pics of the not so flattering attire and actual comp. Hopefully I press a decent qualifier for the Nationals and Masters Games.
Feet up - eating and resting for the effort ahead
Shout out to my awesome team for the last few months of effort we've put in together.
See you all soon with a couple of vids and some pics of the event and ty for following my efforts to date. # # #

Hardly any leg drive with injuries curtailing that critical part but happy with upper body strength holding at a reasonable level. Matt McKay at Raw strength Tasmania is a very patient coach indeed. Babysitting my sorry ass through the session.....again:)

Yo freak bi***es ;) # # #
