Keep Swinging Low

Weightlifting is a sport where you’re constantly fighting against gravity. Gravity is a force that we face in our every day lives that we must constantly counter and resist. When trying to hoist more kilos overhead, our bodies are always going to be fighting harder against the effects of gravity.

Competition Recap

Our very own Mountain Man (AKA Richard Condon) recently competed at the American Masters Championships in Buffalo and had a record breaking competition. Not only did he successfully complete all six of his attempts, but he increased his competition total by 6kg which earned him a second place finish in his class. More is in store for Richard as he prepares for Masters Nationals!
