You want to see technique, and explosive power, f**k weightlifting, those Halibut Hurlers are awesome.
Not Lemon Fresh mind, not by a long shot...

im lucky enough to live in Yorkshire so as you say its well organised. i haven’t looked for any other divisions, perhaps its harder in other areas and clubs might not be as welcoming.



This is an interesting conversation. I've searched for results or comps and have found very little. Managed to find London and SE division, and East mids division. However, I then found out EM is discontinued as the EMWLA was all powerlifter based and now they're GBPF it leaves little to do WL-wise.

So now apparently Essex is coming under LSE now as above so I can compete at crystal palace.

Re coaches, through my research I emailed a fella from the EM sight and he said there is nothing going on anymore re Oly lifting in our area. However, he is head coach of one of 8 schools in GB who do Oly lifting. And, turns out its the school I went to as a kid! (They didnt do it back then).

So when I asked about coaching, he said he is happy to coach me for a few sessions at his club with the kids there or without, and wouldn't charge me a thing! Just a bottle of red if I feel his coaching deserves renumeration. He has coached several kids to British champion.

So thats very lucky too I feel. Atleast just to see someone 2-3 times for pointers.

Other than that I watched the worlds on sky plus and rewound and slow-mo'd it over and over learning the form. Geek.

bodybuilding isnt a sport, in the same way beauty pageants aren't sports

so lifting up big round stones is a bona fide sport? (for the record I do think curls in the squat rack are very gay)

were you referring to bodybuilding as a sport that required you to take steroids to get to the top hence my comment about strongmen. Apols if I got the wrong end of the stick.
