I’ve been looking for a BWLA club in Manchester or the surrounding area, but google and the BWLA website are proving quite unhelpful. I seem to remember a post of yours saying you were part of a BWLA club, any chance you know of one near Manc? Or could put me in contact with anyone who would?
Thanks in advance
You could try sugden barbell. It’s in adlington near Chorley, so about 20-25 miles from Manchester. I’ve seen a video of mark clegg lifting there and c&jerking 190kg! Just google it - hope that helps
I also lift at Bradford university w/l club. Depending what side of manc your at you could be there in about 30-mins
Thanks for the reply weighty, there is a gym near me with decent equipment so thats not really an issue. I’ve heard of sugden but I thought it was more a strongman type gym. I shall look into it anyway, thanks. I’m actually south cheshire so Bradford is a right treck for me.

Where in Cheshire? A mate of mine trains at a club in Crosshills which is about 20 miles east of Accrington. Mark Clegg actually trains at his own gym in Ashton, Olympic Sport.
Plenty of clubs in your area though:
Cheers ninearms, don’t know how I couldn’t find that myself. I’m south cheshire not far from Crewe, that list seems to be very helpful. Thanks again
Hi ed Ache, sorry I’ve been away
Do you still want me to ask my coach? I’d have asked my coach as he remembers this stuff!
Happy training and competiting!

If you could ask your coach, reccomendations are always better. The list ninearms has posted should be pretty useful. Got a few things to do this month but in Feb I’m gonna make an effort to join. Training is always happy, once I get some consistent coaching then we’ll see about competing
Cool Ed I’ll email my coach and see what he comes up with but he’ll probably come up with clubs like ninearms!

My coach had the 2 on ninearms list:
Leningrad Square Wythenshawe Civic Centre, Manchester
Team Manchester Weightlifting Club c/o Wright Robinson College, Abbey Hey Lane, Gorton, Manchester, M18 8RL

Thanks for the help everyone
