Olympic Weightlifting

Hi,

I'm looking to learn the correct techniques for the C+J and Snatch. Are there any clubs, coaches or gyms in auckland that you recommend for a noob? I live in West Auckland and closer is better, but I'm keen to learn so I'm willing to travel.

Thanks for any help.

Gillies Gym. Hopefully Big Mac sees this, he'll be able to give you more info.

Yes, either go to Gillies Av gym or give Millennium Institute a call and organize to meet one of the Olly boys that train there, however Gillies would be closer for regular training once U get sorted. There is also a club in Counties but not sure on where etc, any of the other clubs would be able to point you in the right direction.

The North Island Weight Lifting Nationals are coming up in August too, venue TBC but it will be at one of the Auckland clubs, so you should head to that.

OH YEAH 1000TH POST BABY, WHAT A DESERVING TOPIC/POST TOO!

Thanks so much guys, I appreciate the info. Looking forward to checking out a decent gym; my current one is ok but I'd be surprised if they let me get away with dropping weights

And Laver, glad I could help you in return 1000 posts is prodigious, and no doubt everyone a gem

Counties Manukau Club have relocated to Ellerslie, from what I know.

We have a few guys coming from West Auckland to Millennium to train (PM me for a number of the current coach).

Gillies will be good, but it'll depend on what time the master lifts or other lifters turn up to train and help you with technicque (there's no set coach at Gillies).

Laver, just to further re: North Islands, Im fairly sure that the competition will be held at Millennium Institute.

As a side note, got told off for dropping weights at Auckland Uni gym the other day.

Gotta qualify bro, currently sitting on 180kg total, will have 195 total by round 7 but need 3 refs for it to be offical....

But yes will see you there regardless!

I haven't got Xen's PM.
