London Playsports - Introduction to Powerlifting
In each of the sessions participants were taught how to perform each of the three lifts, and received advice on their technique. As part of the scheme, participants are now able to continue training at the Club free of charge in September, and a number are now setting their sights on the divisional competition, the Greater London Powerlifting Championships, on 5th December. The Club hopes to run a similar scheme in the Winter, so anyone interested in attending future programmes is encouraged to get in touch with the Club. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Throughout
August, the Club has been holding free open sessions, with the aim of
introducing new people to the Club and the sport of Powerlifting, as
part of a range of events across the Capital, under the London
Playsports scheme. There were five free open sessions, on each of the
Saturdays in August, with fourteen different people attending across the
month, nine of whom were new to the Club.
