Check out the guns! Kitty benching 50kgs for sets of 7 tonight with blocks under her feet because not everyone has long legs! Definitely a PB for reps!

Mackenzie has made it very clear to her mum, Peta, that lifting is her passion. That's literally what she said, 'It's my passion.' Kenzie is the youngest of three, very headstrong and knows exactly what she wants. 😂 She didn't want to do hip hop, she wanted to train even though we haven't run kids classes for a while. She works with Steph for 30 minutes once a week and comes in with her mum for one other session a week. Kenzie is learning how to brace and control her body now. There's no reason for her to lift heavy weights, but watching the way she focuses and tried her hardest we just know she is going to be one amazing little lifter before she even reaches her teens! Today we focused on learning how to sit back in the squat and bracing her core with some ab and breathing work to finish. Mackenzie knows that if she focuses on the small things now she'll create some good habits to build on later down the track.

We love this! The physical and mental growth is undeniable when you focus solely on what your body is capable of, instead of what it looks like. Set some goals, follow the plan, and stay consistent. JUST STRONG. #Repost @christineciar with @repostapp ・・・ I've reached a point in my training life where I train because I freakin love it. Not because I feel the need to work off my food or because I want to change how I look - I'm actually more comfortable in my body than I have been in a long time, despite being heavier than my comp days.. So, what happens when you become free from the restraints of the physical expectations you put on yourself? You allow yourself to learn and enjoy what your body can do. I can sincerely say I have found that freedom. #JustStrong

Comraderie. Find a friend who backs you 100%. Then get them to slap you on the back before that heavy deadlift for the ultimate psych up. Adam moved to VIC not long ago and since then has been an awesome asset to our team. After his first week with us he put his hand up to help at the Pretty and Powerful Comp, then apologised for not staying all day. Ummm..ok! Here he is helping Kane psych up for his last dead on the weekend. Kane finished on a PB of 227.5kg. He's also responsible for the best smoked beef you've ever tasted. We're so grateful for our team here at Iron Strength Sports! Credit to SebInc Photography. Thanks for coming down!

Darren deadlifting a 20kg PB of 220kg in his first session here. Before today, his best deadlift was 200kg. We tweaked a few things, mainly getting him amped up and lifting in a supportive environment, we also added a proper belt and deadlift bar. These things, while they may not seem like a huge deal, definitely help make the difference between good results and GREAT results. Aspire Pursue Succeed
