Well done to Mitch on his Broncos Selection -
see - http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/sport/nrl/story/0,26746,26779466-5003409,00.html
Mitch was one of the first athletes that Ben coached when he worked at Iona, and has always been very dedicated in trying to improve his technique and learn new skills.
We have also tried a bit of Crossfit on him - he has a 2.10 Grace and a Muscle Up to his name and we are trying to get the banana pull reverse curl clean from hang out of his system :)

Help with Lift to gym
One of the TID lifters who lives in Browns Plains needs a lift to the gym,
they will help with the petrol cost - Can anyboy help ?
Competition
I would firstly like to thank all the people that came down and helped during the day
Damo and Zack - were particular standouts and helped all day.
Now regarding the lifting -
Lad's 155 snatch was an awesome lift and Luke's technique was much improved.
Ben was burnt out from the last few weeks of PB's but still managed a
very good 130 165 and had a good crack at the Qld record in the snatches.
Josh Wu also lifted very well and lots of the other lifters got good 6/6 attempts
Also it was good to see the TID lifters on the platform for the first time

ASADA Geranamine
ASADA wishes to advise all Australian athletes subject to doping control against the use of supplements, particularly those containing Geranamine.
A warning about supplements containing Geranamine was issued by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) in 2009. Geranamine is a concentrated extract of Geranium oil and is credited with stimulant and fat-burning properties.
A constituent of Geranamine is methylhexanamine which is categorised as an S6 prohibited stimulant under the World Anti-Doping Code. Athletes in possession, using or attempting to use this prohibited stimulant potentially face serious penalties, ranging from a warning to a two-year ban for a first offence.
Athletes subject to doping control should avoid the use of supplements as they pose significant risks to them and their athletic career. Supplements may intentionally contain prohibited substances or they may be inadvertently contaminated with prohibited substances. Geranamine is an ingredient contained in some supplements which have resulted in anti-doping rule violations in several countries.
Jamaican athletes Yohan Blake, Marvin Anderson, Allodin Fothergill and Lansford Spence were suspended for three-months after each returned positive tests for methylhexanamine from samples taken during the June 2009 Jamaica National Track and Field Championships.
Athletes are at risk of committing a doping violation if they choose to use supplements, as they always bear the ultimate responsibility for the products they ingest.
ASADA and the CCES are members of the Association of National Anti-Doping Organisations
