Is anybody around and willing to participate in round 4 of the lifting league within the next few weeks?

A definite date will follow shortly.

Cheers

Guys,
This coming year, the information and communication will be slowly moving from the group to this page as its part of the new AU development plan just make sure you keep an eye on both for the next few months.

Hey guys,
Comp update:
We now have a team registered for the lifting league which kicks off fairly soon.
BUCs is also coming up so let's make sure we all get down to training, get the practice in and make it four years running!
Good luck to everyone lifting at Blitz next weekend in the Uni Series comp and also to those doing the strongman/woman one.
Well done guys who lifted at the English Championships.
So... Who said St Mary's didn't have any lifters again?
