Often in our lives we take the little things for granted. How often have we all said, "ugh I have to still go to the gym and get a workout in"? Well I am here to say that lifting is a pleasure. Especially in our gym. Where else can you get sweaty, grunt, and yell at one another?
So next time you feel too tired to lift, just remember how fun it can be!
This is the first post of the new Melbourne Weightlifting blog. I just want to start of by saying that we have the best gym just about anywhere. I have traveled the world lifting and this "box" as Coach Burgener calls it, is fantastic. Just the right amount of "roughness/raw" yet organized and well maintained. If you haven't yet experienced it, then you are missing out and need to stop by asap. Besides having the best "box" we have some of the best coaches around. Continually striving to improve themselves in the lifts as well as their knowledge.
As you can see in this picture, you don't have to have any special skills to do the Olympic lifts, just the desire to do the most complete exercise ever, as well as the patience and willingness to listen.
Oh and to all you crossfitters on the other side, you can come over and try it too, but be careful its contagious.
