    Australian Powerlifting Championships + 2011 International Pacific Invitational

    The Sunday invitational is a must-see if you're into strength. The handpicked Aussie & NZ lifters are the only elite-ranked lifters in the region. I've seen a few of them at training and they're the ones you always miscount how much they're lifting (on any lift) because there are so many plates...
