    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Here's a video of TJ hitting 65kg and 70kg leading into next week's states. 70kg has been a bit of a demon for her so we're stoked she finally got it! She's also getting much better at keeping her bum down (since the vid was filmed). BXriPu0y8kg

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Another busy week down the coast. TJ started training with us. TJ is a young lady who got introduced to the sport by Scott. She plays gridiron and is aiming to play on the QLD LFL team. She's a blessing to the gym. Amazing attitude, super strong, really good work ethic. Ticks all the boxes...

    PTC Gold Coast Open Day and Novice Comp, March 30, 2013

    PTC Gold Coast is not a GPC gym. The deadlift comp is not a GPC comp. The eating comp is also not a GPC sanctioned event.

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Been a busy week with a number of lifters coming in and testing their maxes on a few lifts. Taz and Mike H tested their squats. Taz hit his previous PB of 170kg with no problem at all. He set that at the novice comp 4 weeks ago. After that he jumped to 180 and got it fairly easily. He narrowly...

    Are back-off sets useful after a strength workout?

    They definitely have their place. Particularly in helping to develop the ability to grind.

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Lordy, Paul, Taz and I all hit squats and bench. Paul did some front squats and jerks as well, leading to a PB of 90kg, and a very close miss at 95kg. Harrison did day 1 of his 4 week max cycle. Smashed out 5 sets of squats like it was nothing. Lordy managed to rip his 5th pair of pants in...

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Massive sessions. Taz, Paul, myself and Mike H each did deficits, bench, then deads. It's been the hardest session of the program so far. Josiah came in and kept smashing his bench sets out. Harrison joined up and started with some deads and cleans. He did really well, cleaning up to 60kg...

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    We all had an awesome session last night. Highlights: Taz, Paul, Mike and myself all lots of benching and squatting. A new lifter, Mitch, came in to continue to work on technique. Mitch is going to be a seriously strong dude in no time!

    6 weeks no lifting

    I wouldn't freak out about it too much fluff man. Personally, I'd recommend something high volume/frequency for the 16 days. The reality is that no matter what you do in that time, it isn't going to have a huge impact on your training/lifts overall.

    Hamstring strength

    You hamstring to quad strength ratio should be the same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns. Seriously, post a video of your squats or deadlifts and we will be able to see how much hamstring you are using and if you're overcompensating in your quads. Size doesn't necessarily = strength. Of...

    lifestyle health clubs open tomorrow?

    Pretty sure they are all closed (unless you're a 24h member). Go to PTC. You won't regret it.

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Quick shoutout to Taz. 4 weeks ago Taz maxed out with a very shaky 185 on deadlifts. Last night (on his week off) he pulled 170kg for an easy 3x3.

    PTC Gold Coast - What's happening

    Saturday was the first PTC Gold Coast comp. 17 lifters competed, including 2 girls (there were 4 originally, but 2 dropped out). It was a really really great day, with lots of broken PBs, a big crowd and lots and lots of sweat. It was a really good day for my lifters. Taz went 170/120/185...
