Legend has it, this will add at least 10 kilos to all my lifts. No pressure 😉

Next competition lined up.

This week's group training schedule:

Bootcamp Monday and Friday at 7 pm. Trainer's choice but usually consists of full body strength with some cardio, just how much varies!

Teen Fitness Tuesday at 3 ( until end of August) and Friday at 5. Learn how to train safely and effectively in a gym environment. The focus is mainly on strength training and includes dumbbells, kettlebells, machine weight and bodyweight with a strong emphasis on technique over weight. Athletic ability is not as important as the teen's coachability and ability to listen and follow instruction.

Circuit Training Saturday at 10 am. Full body circuit training offering you a mix of strength, cardio and flexibility training ensuring you get a balanced work out to develop general fitness. Progressions and regressions offered so all levels are catered for. Ideal for anyone looking to develop general fitness, tone or build muscle, get stronger, lose weight and/or learn to train in a gym.

All classes have drop in rates if you or your teen want to try it out first and packages of multiple classes are available too.

Personal training and small group slots are also available for the week ahead.

Message Conor here at this page with any questions you may have.

All sessions are held at DFC Gym, in the Galway Lawn and Tennis Club on Threadneedle Road in Salthill. Parking, showers and changing facilities are available here.

Enjoyed loading at the European Masters Weightlifting Championships in Waterford on Tuesday.

Had the best seat in the house for some great lifting and it was fantastic to see a major international weightlifting competition held in Ireland

Hopefully there'll be more to come as Weightlifting Ireland did a great job in running it. There was a very good atmosphere throughout the day and the whole thing went smoothly. A good day!

And a word for Waterford, a great location. Fantastic facilities at the venue and nearby Tramore provided some stunning scenery for what was a very enjoyable couple of days.

Connacht Open done and dusted.

Not one of my better ones, it was the worst I've clean and je**ed in a good while.

On the plus side: Got a total, more experience on the competition platform and warm up area and, arguably most importantly, I enjoyed it.

Now to get the nose back to the grindstone for the next one.

That's the next competition in the crosshairs.

My competitive year got off to a great start today at the Munster Open at Waterford Warriors Strength and Conditioning.

I finally managed the elusive 6 from 6 performance on the competition platform and made competition pbs in both the sn**ch and total.

That's 5 competition pbs in my last 2 competitions. Needless to say I'm delighted with today's performance and my overall progress.
