✨Malta International Open✨ Congratulations to who made a return to the International platform last month representing at the Malta International Open.
It was a great sn**ch day for Lewis who finished with a 👌🏼117kg. He went on to hit 147kg on his first C&J attempt, unfortunately missing the next two at 152/157kg. It’s been a big year for Lewis, but it’s great to see him enjoying every second on the platform 🏋️‍♀️ Congratulations to the team and everyone who volunteered at the event 💚🇮🇪

A reminder to all of our teens - Neil will be leading an anti-doping workshop on Tuesday evening (24 October) at 5:45 pm. Weightlifters will be asked to stay a bit later than usual, and powerlifters will be asked to arrive early. It’s important to learn what is and isn’t allowed in order to See you then!
