Joseph - Member Journey

Meet Joeseph Lu

Joseph started his coaching and physiotherapy with Strength Tribe in December 2020 working with Tommy. He had just come off the back of a Novice powerlifting competition, had a few persistent niggles and looking to really dive into strength training and powerlifting. Fast forward to 2023 Joeseph has competed in 2 state level competitions and 2 national level competitions. He is the definition Mr Consistency and never misses a beat in training, this is mainly due to his self awareness around RPE and knowing when to auto regulate loads and intensities to make sure that every session is productive.

Joeseph is studying to be a Chiropractor, so for the majority of the year he works with us via online coaching, then during semester breaks he comes and trains at Strength Tribe. He has made some incredible progress over the past 2 years and his progress doesnt seem to be slowing anytime soon as he is already looking forward to 2024 APL nationals.

His first sanctioned competition in 2022 he secured himself a 555 kg total and an invite to the 2022 APL nationals event.

In June 2023 he competed in his second APL nationals competition and secured himself a massive 645 kg total made up of:

Squat - 230 kg

Bench - 135 kg

Dead - 280 kg

Amazing progress and journey Joseph, thanks for trusting us with your Coaching and Physiotherapy!
