There is olympic lifting coaching available. At the moment there is no coaching only times, but between 4-6 john McEwan and/or myself are in training who can give coaching advice on OL's. There are also 2-3 other guys who have good OL technique who can give you input.

At the moment I do some strongman training. In terms of equipment we have an axel, 2 sets of farmer walk handles, 140kg duck walk (can add more weight), 2 x logs and 2 x prowlers. All the kit at the moment came from JT at atlasstones, so is of good quality. We are looking at adding to the kit as we get new members. Next on the list is to get a circus dumbbell and also some jerk blocks

Really good session in the Glasgow City Barbell Club today!

John McEwan clean and jerking 130kg was the lift of the day! World Masters can't come quickly enough!

We don't have a website yet but the facebook page is regularly updated by Wullie Brown: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_182490415136233&...

Cheers.

Whilst the faciliity itself sounds second to none, the opening times Tues and Thurs 4pm-6pm and Sat 11am-1pm are the limiting factor in particular people like myself coming from work, time we would get there would be 10 mins until closing time.

The opening times would need to be extended to accomodate people who work and or work full time, for the time being the palace of art club will suffice as people coming for work can still get a workout in.
