In 2023 we joined the qualifiers of the Dutch Weightlifting National Teamcompetition. We already started january to pre-select 12 (of which 11 competed) athletes from our competition athletes and 2 trainer/coaches to be ready to compete. Also we needed volunteers and provided officials. The qualifiers were 16 april, 14 may and 25 june. We made the finals at 24 september and become 4th at only the average of -1,5% compared to the second place.

Workshops / Skills labs

All our skills labs are focussed on pinpointing your technique in a theme. The sessions are limited to appr. 90-120 minutes with a maximum of 8-16 participants. Members have discounts at our ticketshop or can use their credits to reserve a spot. See the announcements at the top.

Clubcompetitions

Members and non-members can try-out their max. lifts. Clubcompetitions are organised as promotional events. We provide for a IWF/IPF set-up with a competition platform and organise it by IWF/IPF rules, but all athletes are also asked to help out. E.g. loading the bar or help as “timer”. Another setup is lifting on your own platform in intervals of 15-20 minutes to get to 2 or 3 maximum lifts judged by a buddy. See the poster announcements at the top.

Dutch Strength NGB Meets

Dutch Strength is co-organisator of NGB offical events.
