Mel's Belles Barbell Club

This is so exciting!!! https://www.facebook.com//a.155527484653/754752881397197/

Heads Up! Volunteers wanted! The Nova Scotia Weightlifting Association is looking for some assistance in securing volunteers who would be willing to help load for the 2018 Junior Competition in Halifax. In the meantime they are asking loaders to spend some time loading at NSWA events leading up to Juniors to get comfortable with loading a bar and then committing to part of the day itself (January 20). They will provide lunch and, if our sponsorship efforts pan out, some tee-shirts. If you are interested contact Augie Westhaver at [email protected]

On Thursday Blended hosted CrossFit Hubtown in the first NSWA league match, and what a night it was! Hubtown came with some seriously strong lifters and went home with the official win. Although it felt like anything but a loss for the Blended lifters; it was the first time competing for many of our athletes but that didn't stop them from killing it on the platform. Big shout out to Keigan Dewland our youth lifter who went 6/6 his first time ever on the platform, even securing a PR with his final snatch. For the results you can check out the link. Be sure to head over to CrossFit Ironstone Strength & Conditioning next Friday to see them take on Rocky Lake Barbell ! http://nswl.ca/event/blended-vs-hubtown/

This Thursday, June 1st marks the season opener for the NSWA League. For the inaugural 2017 season there will be 5 teams from different gyms, all looking to be the first ever NSWL Champion. On Thursday at Blended at 7pm in the weightlifting room the Blended Team will be hosting Hubtown. This months team consists of familiar faces around the gym; Michael J Billard Rilla Jordy MacKeigan JJ Rose Curtis MacIsaac and Keigan Dewland! Come on out to cheer both teams on!... Note: there will be no Mel's Belles Class at 8pm.

Good luck to all athletes competing this weekend at Nationals!
