2020 PA EVENTS UPDATE

THE POWER OF BELIEF IN MASTERS POWERLIFTING PA cl

THE POWER OF BELIEF IN MASTERS POWERLIFTINGPA club Real Strength in Castlemaine and Coach Dean Mawby were the subjects in a newly published research report which examined the belief blockers to mature age females taking up Powerlifting and how to overcome those. Older women were missing out on the health benefits of progressive whole body weight training because of previous poor progress with unqualified trainers, fear of injury, perceptions that lifting is “masculine” and just poor self confidence. However the subjects in this study revealed that skilled, supportive coaching from a PA accredited coach was able to take away those misperceptions and draw out physical and psychological progress that they had not previously been able to conceive or achieve. The lessons in this article are vital for not only Coaches dealing with oldr populations but for all Powerlifting Coaches striving to develop their proteges to their full potential.Full report : https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08952841.2020.1782159

Then the open AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS will be a clearcut event held entirely at the Crest Hotel in touristy St. Kilda in Melbourne. Note also that the usual qualifying criteria for all the Australian Championships will be relaxed.This will also be the 2020 OCEANIA CHAMPIONSHIPS. Teams from New Zealand, Nauru and the Pacific will take on Australian teams in an elite open only event, incorporating both that international contest and the Australian Championships. Thus if you make the Australian team you will be lifting simultaneously in both the Oceania and the Australian Championships.

The AUSTRALIAN JUNIOR & MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS will

The AUSTRALIAN JUNIOR & MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS will be held in Brisbane at the newly equipped, all Samtek, Brisbane North Barbell, your host Mr. Dave Napper, on September 25 – 27. Entries will open in June. If you have already entered that entry will be carried forward but you will be contacted soon to confirm your place. Should there be any difficulty with that Brisbane location Powerlifting Australia has alternative venues secured and the date will not change.
