So 8 weeks on from the last fitness test and some very impressive numbers being put up. Lots of members moving up in weight which is great to see, Graham Duncan is the first to have a go with a 20kg moving up from the 16kg and lots of the ladies now snatching the 14kg bell. We have had some new members to the club testing for the first time, Chris Coles scores a massive 265 with the 16kg, definitely ready for the 20kg next time Chris! Technique is much improved and clearly strength and conditioning is better too. Great work everyone!
