Barbell Geisha’s Female-Only Novice Comp

Our girls Mia and Elle competed over the July long weekend. Both girls are not even a year postpartum + C-section. Absolute Super Humans and women of strength! The dedication and commitment they put into this prep was admirable. Seeing them show up for themselves and their training even when it got hard makes me so proud to be their coach.

Mia’s first-ever comp:

8/9 lifts and PR’S on all lifts

Squat: 50kg

Bench: 37.5kg

Deadlift: 60kg

This was Elle’s second novice comp, adding a huge 57.5kg onto her total in 16 weeks.

Squat: 130kg

Bench: 60kg

Deadlift:140kg

Some of our 12-week challenge participants celebrating their confidence at the ‘no vacancy studio in St.Peters. We had a ’70s fluro theme, which was a great excuse to allow our inner child to take over. We went all out, using unicorn bubbles, leg warmers, tennis balls, leotards bubble gum and many other odd combinations to create our themed shots. We had so much fun stepping outside our comfort zones and being one another’s hype!

Judgement Day Novice Comp

5 of our girls recently competed in South Coast Barbelles Novice Comp. We had a successful day as a team, all of us achieving new personal bests and Biancia taking 3rd place for overall female lifter. The support among the girls was unmatched. All of them cheered and supported each other through every single moment, whether on the platform, during warmups or in the lead up to the day. Our community stood out as a team and that’s what we were most proud of.
