How can I get into Olympic style Weight Lifting?
I've recently become interested in weight lifting. The only thing is, I don't know where to start!
-Should I get a trainer? If so, where can I find one?
-Am I too small? I'm 15, 115lbs and 4'10.
Thanks in advance for the advice!
There are different weight categories, and you will definitely be able to compete in one, ethically some clubs won't get you lifting heavy weight yet as you are under 16. Look in your local area for sports centres and gyms that train weighlifting, there are more than you think.
Contact your local regional development officer here: http://www.bwla.co.uk/BWLA-Regions/
