Altrincham Weightlifting Club

As long as it takes…

The answer although vague is it depends ‘on you’

There are so many individual variables that will affect how quickly you become ‘good’ at weightlifting.

Training frequency, mobility, athletic background, patience, confidence, your strength base to name a few.

However it is also what you think is ‘GOOD’.

Some people equate good being big weight on the bar but for me consistent GOOD technique replicated over set and reps, session to session is what makes someone good.

The big weights will come… just be consistent.

Lastly BIG weights is individual to you.. some people will top out at 50kg sn**ch… some at a 150kg sn**ch.

Although we train as a team at AWLC, weightlifting is an individual sport. Your team can support you BUT you are the one who has to lift the weight!
