Masters Weightlifting

All that talk on the Home Page about making your child a weightlifter...what about us "old" guys and gals?
 
CWC has several Masters-aged lifters (including this webmaster).  Masters Weightlifting is designed for anyone 35 years and older.  There is no requirement to have performed these lifts in your past to join CWC.  If you have reasonable coordination and desire to try, contact us for an initial visit and introduction to the lifts.  
 
Many weightlifting meets will have a Masters division.  Within this division the standard weightlifting weight classes are used for both men and women.  Additionally, age brackets are applied to each weight class to "level the playing field".  An example of how a Masters division would be broken down follows:
 
Womens 48 kg (ages 35 - 49)
Womens 48 kg (ages 40 - 44)
Womens 48 kg (ages 45 - 49)
etc....
 
 
Womens 58 kg (ages 35 - 49)
Womens 58 kg (ages 40 - 44)
Womens 58 kg (ages 45 - 49)
etc....
Mens 69 kg (ages 35 - 49)
Mens 69 kg (ages 40 - 44)
Mens 69 kg (ages 45 - 49)
etc....
 
 
Mens 77 kg (ages 35 - 49)
Mens 77 kg (ages 40 - 44)
Mens 77 kg (ages 45 - 49)
etc....
