Having been with the weightlifting team at both St Andrews and UCL I can confidently say that weightlifters are some of the nicest people I have ever met. The sport itself has also given me so much in terms of mental health and personal development. For this reason, I want to see weightlifting continue to reach more and more people, especially within my community, and I want to contribute to this growth by becoming Weightlifting Captain for the club next year.
If elected, I would continue the great work done by the committee this year and have regular group training sessions as well as post-training team socials. I will assure well-structured organisation of both novice comp and varsity (where we will continue beating King’s). For those looking to compete, I will provide information on competitions, and answer queries on registration and all things BWL-related. I also want to make it clear to non-members that they can try out weightlifting during any group session and not be limited to GIAGs at the beginning of term 1. Hopefully this will increase the number of people who want to join throughout the year and we will see LOWA looking more packed with every session.
Let’s have a really good time :)

The squat racks full!” “The bar is bloody!” “I don’t know how to enter the competition!!”. All valid complaints. And all issues I’ll be there to solve. As a 1st year, I’m still passionate and excited about the sport ever since I started training 10 months ago. With each session I’ve grown to love the sport more and more and I can’t wait to help encourage all of you who feel the same way.
As a gym-goer, specifically Blooms fitness, you’ll know how difficult it can be to find a space. It’s almost bad enough to quit and join powerlifting… almost. Anyway, worry no more, I want to work with the gym staff to ensure Weightlifters will have a designated training time in the gym on the racks. The idea would work by confirming sufficient numbers for using the squat racks and spots. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
I’m also planning on stepping up to the task of organising the external sessions at gyms like LOWA, with advanced and up-to-date schedules. I also want to work with some IT officers/tech members able to make a UCL weightlifting website.
Split or squat jerker, new or old, I want you to vote, so move that mouse and vote for your next Weightlifting Captain.
