Over the weekend we exhibited at the 2015 Health and Fitness Expo held the convention centre. We shared the expo with 91 other exhibitors and the range of products and services displayed was fantastic, there was something for everyone!
At our stand we show cased the new Loaded Lifting lever belts, ran a competition to win a membership at PTC, exhibited our services and talked to a lot of people about strength training, Powerlifting, sports preparation and about the gym. Thank you to everyone who came by and talked to us and entered our competition, which, we will draw this week and announce the winner!
Over the weekend Powerlifting Australia hosted a men’s and women’s local competition plus an invitational competition which had a long list of elite Powerlifters including Blaine Sumner, Jennifer Weed Thomson, Brett Gibbs, Cameron McKenzie and Kelli Thor Clarke! Blaine Sumner totalled 1002.5kg RAW to break the world record! Congratulations Blaine.
We would like to shout out to Rob Murrell and his crew at Barbarian Strength and Conditioning for putting on an excellent show which show cased some of the best local and international Powerlifters. We look forward to next year!
PTC had one lifter in the local women’s competition. Liisi Kreen squatted 115kg (5kg PB), benched 60kg (2.5kg PB) and deadlifted 145kg (30kg PB) for a total of 320kg@55.95kg (37.5kg PB total).
