Olympic Weightlifting

• Training

  With the guidance of our amazing coach, Lee Page, you will be assisted through a combination of movements. Although they have peculiar names and seem a little overwhelming initially, they soon become instinctive. After a few months of training, whether you are on the 2, 3 or even 4 day a week programme, the opportunity to compete may arise although this is entirely optional.

• Events

  Competing is optional and up to the preference of individual members. Whatever your ambitions the club will support you.

  Apart from training, the club holds many social events for example movie nights and pot-luck dinners. Frequent meetings discuss the aims of the club, its progress and selecting new committee members through elections. The weekly Wednesday night social is a great time to mingle with members of both the weightlifting club and other university-associated sports clubs.

• How to get involved

  Whether you are new to the sport or an experienced lifter, already attend the University or if you are thinking about attending, please get in touch to register your interest and find out more about our club.
