MGC Weightlifting Team

The MGC Weightlifting is in full swing. Over the past seven weeks, the girls have been working hard three mornings a week under the watchful eye of the coaches at Ward’s Gym and ourselves. They have been learning the foundations of the three Powerlifting movements: Squat, Bench and Deadlift and the two Olympic Weightlifting movements: Snatch and Clean and Jerk. In such a short amount of time they have all improved so much, not just with mastering the main movements but in terms of their overall strength and conditioning. They have also developed a fantastic sense of club spirit, they are constantly cheering each other on and encouraging each other to push through each rep and each set. Next term the students will start to compete in Sub-Junior and Youth Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting competitions Victoria wide. Every single day they are breaking down the stereotypes for young female athletes all over the world, and we cannot wait to see what they can achieve!
