weightlifting (n.): 'The lifting of heavy weights in a prescribed manner as an exercise or in athletic competition.'
The Aberdeen University Weightlifting Club aims to provide the opportunity and means to all students associated with the University to train with weights appropriately and effectively to enhance performance and meet personal goals, with the opportunity to compete if desired. The cl
ub is not just for the more advanced among us, but is multi-purpose – whether you want to get bigger and stronger for your sport, weights provide a great potential for genuine improvements in sports performance. Whether you want to get taught proper technique and just generally become more aesthetic or whether you want to compete in powerlifting or olympic weightlifting at a higher level..all is possible with the AUWC. The AUWC has many goals included in its mission but it predominantly aims to gather like-minded people in one place to empower each other to excel more than we would by ourselves. It aims to greatly surpass the reasons for training yourself or with a partner through the use of sound training methodology, a positive and intense atmosphere, practical programming and correct technique on specific exercises.
