Intro to Powerlifting Workshop

Ye asked, and now ye shall receive...

I'm going to run this for you guys and girls probably sometime in mid-March and it will most likely take place on a Sunday (19th or 26th). The venue is sorted (the committee at the Hercules Club in Dublin City Center have been good enough to offer their facility for the event).

We'll have basically everything we need, calibrated plates, eleiko bars, ER Racks, a monolift for anyone that has never used one before and a space upstairs to sit down as we run through the talky bit.

So first things first...


Who is this for?

New/novice lifters, Anyone who has never competed before but thinks they might want to at some stage in the future, anyone that wants to compete but is waiting until they are 'strong enough' for whatever reason etc, anyone who is new to the sport, is worried about their technical ability, basically any powerlifting wannabe or newbie


How much does it cost?

I'd love to do this free but as always when people see 'free' they treat it as something with no value, cancel last minute or take the p*ss altogether and just don't turn up. So I'm going to get you all financially motivated and suggest a donation of your choosing to Crumlin Childrens Hospital to attend.

Sound fair?

After all you're going to get a full days workshop and it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun.


(MODS - I assume this isn't against the charter?)


So.. if you love to lift, and don't hate sick kids then read on!


What do I need to bring?


A pen and paper, training gear, belt, wraps, whatever you train in or might need when on the platform.

What time?


Assume 11-4 (ish) might start earlier, might finish later.


What will we be covering?


I haven't worked out the exact flow of the day but assume we'll start with an intro to the actual sport, the rules, the feds, the equipment, what to expect on the day of a competition... then do some squat/bench/deadlifting (technical stuff, not testing), talk programming, accessory work and have a Q&A.

Who is this not for?

I hate having to add this part so lets keep it short: 'Coaches'/Personal trainers looking to up-skill this isn't for you - sorry. Powerlifting veterans - nope not for you guys. Anyone who's thinking 'I want to lift but I have no interest in competing' - no, sorry, not for you either. Lets keep this one about the sport and keep the spaces for those who need it the most.



So all that being said...


A) Who wants in?

What date works best?


Once you register interest and I set the dates for sure I'll PM you to confirm your slot (strictly first come first serve!)


* DISCLAIMER *


Spaces for this will be capped to ensure everyone gets playtime and you must be 18 or over to attend.
