25.01.2022 A big congratulations to everyone who competed in yesterdays "Pro Strength and SA Weightlifting Club Open". It was a big competition with 2 sessions and a great turnout of people to show their support to all the lifters. It was also great to see so many ladies lifting in this competition and taking up a whole session of their own.. Special thanks to our visiting lifters from Queensland - Jessica Edge, Lukas Gardner and Ebony Gorinco. You are most welcome in our gym anytime a...nd it was great to watch you all lift! Also it was great to see new lifters on the platform. Lisa Tran, Kacie Reynolds, Anastasia Pascoe, Maik Boger and Ju Sung Han. Overall it was a great competition with 13 SA Weightlifting Club members, 3 from Port Adelaide Barbell, Ian MacDonald from Crossfit East Adelaide and three from the very impressive new club at OlyTech Dynamic Strength. Results and video of all lifts to come soon so we can check out all of the quality lifting. Thanks to all the volunteers that helped organise this competition and helped out on the day! Without you such great events could not happen! Also thanks to our friends at Pro Strength & Conditioning for supplying us with such a great venue to train and hold competitions in!

25.01.2022 Busy night at the club tonight. Lots of good lifting. Here's Mitch so close to getting 110 kg..

24.01.2022 Looks like we have a big competition ahead of us this Valentines Day - we have 16 lifters entered! With lots of athletes competing this drains my availability of helpers.. If you are available to help me in the morning setup, load weights, MC or do videography let me know!

24.01.2022 We are looking for a new home! Thank you to Pro Strength & Conditioning for having us over the past 2 years and especially Arjun Tokhi for his expert coaching this year. We hope the opportunity comes around to have you back with us soon :) SA Weightlifting Club is the only registered Not-for-profit Weightlifting Club in South Australia. Everything we do is for our current and future members. All proceeds are put back in to benefit the Club and its members.... If you know of any facilities that would be suitable for the Club to set up some weightlifting platforms and weightlifting equipment, please get in contact with us. We have all of the equipment we need. The basic requirement is a level floor and a toilet, indoors, open space preferred, however we'll work with anything... Sheds, warehouses, vacant office or shop spaces are ideal. If you are aware of any existing Sports Clubs that may be able to accommodate weightlifting, please get in contact with us. We are working hard on trying to secure a space asap - if you can be of any assistance we'd appreciate your help!

22.01.2022 We have available Sports Vouchers for Primary School aged children, that covers the joining fee for SAWC! Classes Monday and Friday evening, there's a kids' squad happening :) If you have, or know of, any Primary School aged children that would like to participate in learning weightlifting, then if not used already for this year, they can use a Sports Voucher!... Go to the SA Government Sports Voucher website http://www.sportsvouchers.sa.gov.au, then follow these 5 simple steps:- 1) select the Sports Voucher (PDF) link - http://sportsvouchers.sa.gov.au//00/157521/2016Voucher.pdf; 2) fill out the voucher; 3) scan or take a photo of the voucher; 4) email to [email protected]; 5) feed the kids a healthy snack and bring them (and your completed voucher) down on a Monday or Friday night between 5-7pm! 6) have a peaceful night after training as the kids wind down and sleep peacefully* *individual results may vary ;) ;) Our Coach, Arjun Tokhi, is a Level 3 coach under the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme, the highest available accreditation for Weightlifting in Australia! He has coached athletes from beginners right through to elite competing at the International level in the Commonwealth Games. We look forward to bringing the next generation of Aussie weightlifters through the South Australian Weightlifting Club :) Thank you to the Office of Recreation and Sport for providing a wonderful program for children to get involved in sport, the Australian Weightlifting Federation and the South Australian Weightlifting Association for providing a solid and positive platform for Weightlifting in Australia and South Australia

Saturdays competition will be divided into two sessions. First session Females starting at 10am then the men at 12am. Preliminary entries are shown below (subject to SAWLA approval).

17.01.2022 Hi guys - we have hired a truck and will be moving training and competition equipment from SASI to our new location. If you are free Sunday morning come down and give us a hand. The more bodies the easier it will be.. I will get the truck at 8am and then be at SASI around 830. Afterwards we will do a bit of a busy bee at pro strength to clean up and get ready for competition. For those who volunteer their time - James will be giving an informal Q&A session on nutrition afterwards for those interested. The guy knows his stuff and has managed diets of many power based athletes (and good looking people) so make sure you have lots of questions for him!

15.01.2022 Great competition today. Thank you so much for everybody's help. Especially all those that help set up the gym for competition and put it back in even better order when done. Also thanks to all who referee'd, loaded, MC'd, operated the computer and coached! Results from todays lifts can be seen here: http://www.awf.com.au/resultsrankings/rptcompresults.aspx...
