Tommy Twomey: Finding Balance at an Elite Level.
Today I speak with elite level powerlifter, Tommy Twomey.
Tommy has been competing for 6 years and has a best total of 910kg in wraps at 140kg and a best multi-ply total of 885kg at 125kg.
Tommy has an extensive background in Rugby League and played at a high level with the Maitland Pickers.
We discuss his background in rugby and his transition to powerlifting and the turmoil that comes from wrapping your identity up in a sport. We talk about juggling a demanding career and a young family and still wanting to perform at a high level. We delve into a bit of training history and styles Tommy has developed and learned through working with some very experienced coaches.

    As his father I’ve witnessed his journey from rugby league to power lifting the highs and lows that come with it. Tommy has a massive drive to succeed and I have all confidence that when he sets a goal he will achieve it ( that comes from his mum aswell as me) couldn’t be prouder for where he is from where he came from. Bring on Pro Raw.

    Tommy trained me for my first and only amateur lift event. Hit numbers that were amazing, especially given my medical history and the amount of time I trained with him. Absolute beast and great bloke.
