Firgun Strength and Performance

In light of recent information regarding Powerlifting Australia and Robert Wilks, Firgun Strength & performance is withdrawing their affiliation with Powerlifting Australia until such time that an appropriate decision is made. We are a very small collection of lifters in Bendigo. However when we spoke to our lifters about their feelings towards the current situation, we all agreed that the most important thing is to be a voice for all victims and survivors and to ensure everyone knows that this behaviour is not OK and will not be tolerated.Firgun Strength & Performance does not support or promote any kind of violence or abuse towards anyone and we will not be involved in the act of any victim blaming, we honour the voices and truths of all those effected and we feel deeply for those individuals. We are incredibly proud to be a part of a community that has spoken out against this behaviour and it has no place in our sport or our community.

Over the weekend we held the bench against bushfires event!

This morning we held #benchagainstthebushfires with our little powerlifting community, participating in the OG fundraising event created by @thestrengthfortress ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are overwhelmed with emotion at the generosity and grit that everyone who gave the challenge a crack put in! We want to thank every person who participated and who also donated on behalf of our event without participating. In such a devastating time, it’s heart warming to see communities come together in support doing what they can. As a small business it’s been amazing to contribute in any sense! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A big, big special thank you to the Bendigo Fire Brigade for coming out with the truck to say hello and show their support, we appreciate everything you guys do everyday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We raised a total of $280 and managed a total of 130 reps! Some of the donations were made on bets “if you make X I’ll donate Y” to push things a bit further and hopefully raise some more money. We’re proud of everyone’s achievements and efforts! Thanks to @5trong for creating the idea for the event as well ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To all of those affected by these bushfires, either personally or by association - from our lil Firgun family to yours, we apologise from the bottom of our hearts for your losses and have hope and faith good things will come!
