 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6844 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Sparrow said: Like it or not, Adlington always has been and always will be a weightlifting club. The powerlifters are a bit like ugly cousins, who nobody really likes, but they are tolerated.  I have to disagree, powerlifting is as much a part of Adlington as weightlifting. Without the powerlifters in the dark years of Adlington it may well have ceased to exist, there was a long spell where Adlington was weightlifter-less. Likewise since we lost Alan, it is the powerlifters in the main that have kept the club going, and for that I am forever in their debt. Weightlifting has always been at the heart of Adlington, maybe just maybe powerlifting has been the soul. Ugly they may be, stink indeed they do, talk a lot and train slowly most definitely, but I could not imagine Adlington being there without them | ||

Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts | I couldn't think of a better venue to host an old fashioned themed gentlemen's competition in strength athletics Wearing appropriate clothing such as waistcoats or top hats etc etc there could be the strength set and the three disciplines of weightlifting During this time the smelly ones would practice throwing things for distance and "odd" lifts All for a good cause Maybe one day...somewhere | ||

Hasn't Littler taught you anything? FWIW Adlington was a powerlifting club as far as I was concerned when I first joined - there wasn't a weightlifter in sight! Now, bench only specialists, I'm not exactly sure where they fit into the equation... | ||

Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts | Doubtful but I learn quick even online Bench specialists I think would be looked after... Definately. Especially if they competed | ||
