    The slingshot

    I've been using a similar product and have been getting results like Chum. Make sure you're really focussing on exploding off the chest, using the assistance to blast through the transfer point. That way you'll be training explosiveness, and be able to handle heavier weights for more volume.

    Big few days down here. Yesterday's highlights: TJ did some heavy singles on deadlifts, working up to 3 easy 117.5kg singles. Her technique just continues to improve. Harrison came and smashed 5 triples at 132.5kg on deads. 6 weeks ago his max was 140. Paul came back to it, starting with...

    Dean Cowan popped in yesterday to help us out with some bench overloading using the bench daddy. Highlights included Josiah hitting 140kg x 3 and 150kg x 5 to a 2 board. I worked up to 170kg x 3, then added boards and worked up to 190kg x 3 to a 2 board. The overload work was great fun and...

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Yesterday was the PTC Gold Coast Novice push/pull comp. All of my lifters did really well. Mitch is still figuring out how to bench, but wanted to give it a crack. He nailed his 65 opener but misgrooved 75 twice. On the deadlifts he hit 130, 140, 150, 160, beating his previous best by 20kg Dave...

    PTC Gold Coast Push/Pull - May 4 RESULTS

    Wasn't too bad of a turnout! There was some really awesome lifting. I'm so glad that Chris (aka Critta) finally competed. I've known him for years and have been trying to get him into powerlifting for a while. He ended up nailing a 145 bench and 235 deadlift (just missing 245 with a torn callus)...

One will go 230+ completely raw (no shirt, sleeves or wrist wraps), possibly up to 250-260 depending on how he feels. The other will hit 250+ for triples using a new product called the Bench Daddy (to rival...

    Quick update: The powerlifting team here are training hard for nationals. Those who can't make nationals are running the same programming so they can train together. Upon seeing their programs some were taken aback by some of the weights. I told them it's their own fault for doing so well at...

    Huge weekend at the GPC QLD states. Big thanks to everyone who made the event possible. The whole PTC GC team put in a massive effort, with PBs smashed all over the place. TJ went 115/65/130 310@59.6. She missed out on a 122.5kg squat, stumbling after the squat command. She missed out on...

    Is Cat in the 60's too? We're just about to test TJ's openers and seconds for squats/deads. It will definitely be a good show.
