Last week our team had the privilege of chatting with students at Maryborough State High School about the exciting career opportunities available in allied health ๐Ÿ‘

Jonas, our Clinic Manager and Exercise Physiologist, Madi, our Occupational Therapist, and Chloe, our Dietitian, shared insights into their roles and the different pathways to get into each profession ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ’ผ

It was awesome to see so much curiosity and engagement from the students as they explored how they can turn their interests into meaningful careers helping others ๐Ÿ’š

Thanks for having us, Maryborough State High, we loved being part of the conversation! โœจ

It is with a heavy heart that we farewell Henri as he departs Ascend to relocate to the Sunshine Coast ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธ

Some of you may remember when Henri first joined us as a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed student way back in 2023 ๐ŸŒฑ Since joining the team as a fully fledged Exercise Physiologist in March of 2024, Henri has become a beloved and indispensable member of our team ๐Ÿ’š

In fact, Henri was the winner of the inaugural Ascend MVP ๐Ÿ†, and coiner of the honorary position of โ€œAscend Allower Generalโ€ (Itโ€™s a long story) ๐Ÿ‘‘

Henri has helped many people and created cherished moments with both staff and clients alike over the past 2 years, and will be sorely missed ๐Ÿฅฒ

Kiitos! ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ And good luck on your next chapter ๐Ÿš€โœจ

Question Time with Jess ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Exercise Physiology isnโ€™t just lifting weights, itโ€™s about building confidence everywhere.

Jess has been working with Ascend for 5 years, in the gym, her home, and in the community - turning everyday tasks into real wins ๐Ÿ™Œ

From workouts ๐Ÿ’ช to washing the dishes ๐Ÿงผ to filling up the car โ›ฝโ€ฆ it all counts.

Because the goal isnโ€™t just to exerciseโ€ฆ itโ€™s to live better ๐Ÿ’ฅ

PART 5 โ€” Rules & Cues ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

In para powerlifting, there are a few key commands from the referee you need to follow during your lift. Listening for these cues is essential for a successful attempt.

Hereโ€™s the basic sequence:

1๏ธโƒฃ Wait for the โ€œSTARTโ€ command
Once the bar is lifted out and held steady with arms extended, the referee will give the START call. Only then can the lift begin.

2๏ธโƒฃ Lower the bar to your chest
Bring the weight down under control.

3๏ธโƒฃ Pause on the chest
The bar must come to a clear pause on the chest before you press. No bouncing.

4๏ธโƒฃ Press the bar to full elbow extension

5๏ธโƒฃ Wait for the โ€œRACKโ€ command
Once the bar is steady at the top again, the referee will give the RACK call before you return the bar to the rack.

๐Ÿ“Œ If youโ€™d like to read more about official rules and regulations, check out the Para Powerlifting Australia / WPPO guidelines online.
๐Ÿ“Ž Thereโ€™s also a direct link in the Facebook event group once you register, so you can access everything you need before comp day.
