Australian Weightlifting Nationals

This year RAW Barbell Club was very happy to help and assist 4 lifters achieve a grade to both qualify for and compete at the Australian Weightlifting Nationals. We had already had a great showing at Masters Weightlifting Nationals earlier this year, so to be able to represent our State again at Senior Australian Weightlifting Nationals was just cherry on an already delicious cake 😉 A big congratulations to all the lifters that competed including our friends from all the weightlifting clubs around. Special mention goes to Kush, Adi and Yannick (from Shred Barbell).

Now that the congrats for the athletes are out of the way our biggest thanks must go to the rest of the Sandbag gang who took time off from work, training and families to come out and watch us compete on the big stage. As much as RAW Barbell Club is about training, sandbagging and having fun; we are also about family. It makes my job so much easier knowing that we are a family that will go above and beyond to support and encourage our fellow team mates. Thank you to all that came all the way to QLD to watch and support us!

Thanks as well to Rowena and Aaron from CrossFit RAW Iron for letting us train at your awesome gym!
