PART 3 — Set-Up Considerations 💪

Jonas will talk through the set-up considerations and how to correctly position yourself before even thinking about lifting the bar:
1️⃣ Eyes under the bar (for most people)
2️⃣ Make sure elbows aren’t catching on the wide part of the bench
3️⃣ Strap between hip and knee
4️⃣ Feet in a wide position to ensure stability when benching

📌 For more official rules and regulations, check out Para Powerlifting Australia / WPPO guidelines online.
📎 There’s also a direct link in the Facebook event group once you register — so you can access everything you need before comp day.

If you’re keen to get into para powerlifting and train under true competition conditions, guided by an experienced Exercise Physiologist, we’re the people to talk to.

On Wednesday, some of the Ascend Allied Health team attended the Clinical Societies – Queensland ADHD Reforms event in Hervey Bay.

We’re committed to staying up to date with our professional development and ensuring our clients receive evidence-based, best-practice care. The evening focused on supporting primary care to assess and manage ADHD across the lifespan, with insights from paediatric, psychology and psychiatry perspectives.

Staying informed on the latest developments ensures we continue delivering high-quality, evidence-informed care to our clients and families.

It was a valuable opportunity to strengthen our knowledge and connect with other local disciplines, supporting collaborative and well-rounded care within our community.

Thank you to Country to Coast, QLD (CCQ) PHN for hosting and continuing to provide these important education events.

Exercise Physiology + FND 💪🧠

First of all, can we talk about Merryn’s handmade FND Warrior shirt?! 🔥💪 So cool, and such a powerful reflection of the strength and resilience she shows up with every week!

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a condition where the brain has difficulty sending and receiving signals properly. This disruption can lead to a variety of symptoms, including weakness, tremors, changes in gait, fatigue, non-epileptic seizures, and reduced exercise tolerance.

Exercise for FND can sometimes trigger temporary symptom flares, but with the right guidance and progression, it becomes a key part of recovery.

Exercise Physiology supports this process through:
• Graded, symptom-informed movement retraining
• Strength, balance, and coordination work
• Reducing fear-avoidance and rebuilding confidence
• Nervous system regulation strategies
• Improving overall functional capacity

Rehab for FND isn’t about “pushing through” it’s about retraining the brain–body connection with the right load, at the right time.

FND warrior energy always welcome here 💛

PART 2 — What we need from you on comp day 💪

If you’re competing at our Para-Powerlifting Development Comp, there are 2 key things we’ll need from you:

1️⃣ Your opening weight
This is your starting lift.
We generally recommend around ~80% of your goal weight. You’ll have 3 attempts, so start smart and leave room to move up. 💪

2️⃣ Your rack height
This is usually set in line with your wrists at full elbow extension while lying on the bench.
Not sure what yours is? That’s completely fine, we can help you work it out on the day 👌

If you’d like to read more about official rules and regulations, they can be found via the Para Powerlifting Australia / WPPO guidelines online.

📎 There’s also a direct link available in the Facebook event group once you register, so you can easily access everything you need before comp day.

If you’re keen to get into para powerlifting and train under true competition conditions, guided by an experienced Exercise Physiologist, we’re the people to talk to.

🍽 How to build a balanced plate ⤵

This is the go-to formula from our dietitian for creating nourishing, satisfying meals that fuel both body and mind:

🍅½ vegetables - for fibre, vitamins & colour
🍗¼ protein - to support muscle & satiety
🍠¼ whole carbs - your long-lasting energy
🥑+ a bit of healthy fats - for heart health & flavour

Whether it's lunch or dinner, this simple structure helps you stay energised, satiated & balanced all day long.
