I’ve witnessed powerlifters perform a wild laundry list of methods to make weight such as saunaing in their cars wearing layers of clothing in 30 degree heat, spit to the point of your tongue bleeding, cycling on an air bike at maximum heart rate, starve and dehydrate themselves for weeks leading into competition, cutting hair to reduce weight just to name a few. For these people making weight is arguablythe easiest part of their competition day, performing on the platform after performing a last ditch effort weight cut is where they fall short. It irks me to see lifters waste months of hard work in training to perform blind practices and be beaten by the scale.

Not being in control of your weight weeks and the days of competition shows a lack of care and due diligence for a weight class based sport. Yes, there may be some circumstances and situations where things do not go to plan but missing weight is entirely on you and is unacceptable no matter what lengths or efforts you take to try.

These are the practices that I use as a coach and an athlete to help numerous competitors at the state, national and international levelmake their weight class. “

This week marks a pretty significant moment in my coaching journey.

@sox_lifts is flying over to Warsaw, Poland to compete at the 2026 IPF Bench Press World Championship

She will be my first athlete to compete internationally and put on the Green and Gold

What makes it cool is that I was in this same position as 2 years ago competing and Bench Only Worlds

As athletes, one of the most prestigious things you can do is compete internationally and represent your country

But to help guide my own athletes to that same level hits different

None of this would be possible without Soko putting in time and dedication to her own training

So let’s get behind her as she steps on the platform for the first time to represent Australia, her family and Team Output.

Good luck have fun to everyone else on the team 🇦🇺

- she competes on Thursday, time + livestream details TBC

Some people have asked me what we see on the Jury table, here are the angles that we see on replay and some feedback from the weekend 😌

Main thing is film your training videos from the front and don’t take 40 seconds to set up especially if you are prone to getting a rerack 👍🏽

Less troll attempts / hard misses from junior lifters and their coaches this year too, nice 👍🏽

Not much is said about how you subconsciously communicate to yourself, to yourself.

Improving your body language in training and competition is the one of the easier ways to improve your performance.

People who look like exude confidence when attempting a weight, generally make less mistakes because their body tells their mind that everything will be okay. As a result, these people generally make less mistakes or misgrooves because every action towards and and under the bar is performed with deliberate intention.

Compare this to people who look defeated. These people generally struggle to come back and feel disinterested for the back end of the meet when things don’t go well early.

It’s okay to be nervous, deep down we all are. But at times, especially game day you gotta sometimes fake it til you make it 😂

Here are why push ups are one of my favourite assistance exercises 
 
• You can handle a lot of volume and intensity 
 
• You can build higher muscle endurance to handle more higher intensity bench work loads 
 
• Great muscle builder if you are lagging in upper body mass 
 
• From my experience female athletes benefit greatly from doing push ups 
 
• Can take it to failure safely when doing it higher rep 
 
• Gives you a pressing stimulus without a board on your back 
 
• Great teaching tool to teach you where to push with your hands 
 
• Great warm up for actually benching

Always so proud to see team Output up on the national stage.

Big thank you to @dooffin.lifts for the assists all weekend 🫡

2026 APA Open Nationals Post Championship thoughts

• Good to see the lower and higher weight classes have a full podium

• Really interesting to see the strategies of Carpino vs Head to Head vs PR total coming into the day

• There needs to be more people at Nationals, we can’t just have 8 83’s 😭

• The jury was good, but maybe should’ve chilled a bit on some sessions

• Doing preps at the back end of the year can be tough for some, and some people have to add a lot of keys to the total to just make top 12, but then ran out of gas to make it to nationals 🥀which is probably why we saw a higher rate of competition withdrawal

• There should be an entire session of all “B flight lifters” across all weight classes capped to 28 spots and that’s the first session of the competition.

🧠 Lemme know your favourite battles and thoughts on this years nationals
