POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

First sets of non-trapbar deads since tearing my soft ass at CAPO Nationals in August.

I’m hoping I don’t pull up with weirdly crippling pain tomorrow, because I have to get at least one 300kg deadlift in my 50s next year, and I’d like to be able to use this weird ConMo style that I enjoy. It usually breaks my left hip eventually but if I keep it light and consistent and do my RDLs maybe fate will provide. taken in Below Parallel Barbell Club by @beaub_bpbc

Happy birthday to Assistant Coach Stacey! Coffee provider, handler extraordinaire and BP gym mum (bully).
She will force you to succeed, but will also be your loudest supporter when you do. @zombie_bait29 by @beaub_bpbc

What an adventure! Won the 40-49 category, got a squat and bench PR and missed out on taking the number 1 M2 raw 100kg total in Australia by 1.5kg 🤣 @oldmanstrength_coogee remains undefeated since 2016, and continues to be a living legend.
The BPBC team absolutely destroyed almost everything they came to do:
@zombie_bait29
@justcoconuts_lifting_diary
@n.hull22
@ Greggles who doesn’t have insta.
3 golds, 1 silver and 15 PRs

Thanks to @capopowerliftingwa for an enormous week of lifting and all the coaches, athletes, spotters and loaders, refs (special mention to @jess_refs for preventing my potential demise on squats), the table and livestream comedy team.

Extra mention to @jonny_bbad @jamiecougan and everyone at @fortitudebarbell who relentlessly step in to keep CAPO events running

Lastly my biggest support at home @vanjmok and the boys and my family who allow me to adventure off to the Wild West to earn trinkets and hurt myself for fun ❤️ taken in Fremantle, Western Australia by @beaub_bpbc

Did a bunch of stuff and didn’t hurt myself! Walking out squats was comically terrible so I won’t be doing that again.
Bench was significantly better than my last 150. Shoulder stability drops to zilch after about 4 reps at any weight about 60, so a bunch of nice singles was fun.
4.5 weeks until nationals and everything is somewhat on track…for a change.
Also @sueby18 reminded me I could update the PR chalkboard which isn’t something I thought I’d do again, so there you go. 6 months from 50 and not dead yet (in a powerlifting context). taken in Below Parallel Barbell Club by @beaub_bpbc

Gus won nationals so he gets to go to worlds, but he has to pay for it.

CAPO States on the weekend was pretty huge for all the team. Not perfect, but 2 placing for overalls (opens and masters) and a glut of medals and some WILD PRs was very satisfying.

There were a few well noted issues on Day 1, but we move ever onwards.

Got asked if I was competing a few times, and I’m not. Not this year anyway. Turn 50 next year and there’s a loosely formed plan to have a crack at Bradley Cooper’s 745 total, which is the number 1 spot in Australia at the moment. Good chance I won’t make it, I have on/off hip issues which get worse with bigger lifts, knee and back things that are usually fine but annoying, and the same in the shoulders. String together enough good luck and it could theoretically happen, but if not, I won’t lose sleep (except from neural stimulation and stimulants of course). Anything north of 700 would be top 4, which is fine as a geriatric 😅

Anyhoo, here’s 4 x 5 @ 165, minimal hip catching. Just have to deadlift a few times between now and 2027 and we’re good! taken in Below Parallel Barbell Club by @beaub_bpbc

Happy birthday to our mama!
1000’s of nappies, dinners and loads of washing balanced by rosé, GYG and Hokey Pokey.
We couldn’t dream of a better mum (mom) nor I a better partner. Love you.
Let’s try to get at least one more dinner like this before Christmas x
