    We have a number of new female lifters with us now that are progressing really well. Elise (my wife) has now been training with us for 3 or 4 weeks.

    PTC Gold Coast Push/Pull - July 6 RESULTS

    Another great competition. Unfortunately Coco was feeling pretty sick, so didn't put up his best performance. Andrew Roberts came and made all his lifts look like warmups, as usual. Tegan killed it on both lifts, very impressive lifter. Jordan will definitely be a lightweight contender if he...

    Chin up ROM / form and shoulder health Q

    People generally focus too hard on trying to get their chin over the bar, which causes them to roll their shoulders forward. The rolling increases the ROM but is totally unnecessary. You just want a full contraction of the lats. The aim should be to pull your chest towards the bar, contracting...
