The Southern Showdown sees the Southern states take back powerlifting both with a showcase of elite talent in our “primetime” afternoon session, and up & coming lifters showcasing their skills in the morning. The second yearly collaboration between Stronghold Ballarat and Compound Training & Nutrition unites Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia in a battle to decide who will be crowned best and the most improved in the South.

Or will a lifter from the North come and steal the show?

This competition will feature a large cash prize for best male and best female GL score, as well as an additional prize for the largest improvement on GL score. We welcome all lifters, regardless of home state and whether you have competed previously.
