Power lifting: Battle of the Gyms

The ‘Battle of the Gyms’ power lifting competition was yesterday. It was a great day with about 20 competitors, both male and female. A good crowd turned up to watch and be vocal!

Looks like we need a new venue for the next competition. The main free weights hall at Elite Physique was crowded and Joe wants to invites the main lifting gyms and clubs in Sydney and Melbourne next time.

Ariel (Elite Physique) won the male division. Mattie (?) won the female division.

Ariel is three weeks out from competing in the IFBB Australian bodybuilding titles. An extra factor for none optimum lifting. Mind you, being dieted down should help power to weight ratios.

Congratulations to Joe Giampaolo and the team for putting on a great show.

Drop some rolls of film in for developing today. Will post some pics during the week.
