Oaklands new kit has dropped, and it looks EPIC! We’ve changed the colours to the new black and yellow / gold, and went with a custom Adidas set. The team is growing in both size and depth of ability. Couldn’t... https://t.co/0iCU2upV3d
After a well deserved break finishing 2nd at the British Champs, Emma is getting back into training with an easy 120kg squat double. Bit of technical focus at the moment for Emma, always looking to improve. Many... https://t.co/3woMdjmaXz
Safe to say the new home for Oaklands, at the #CFLDN new facility is epic! We were at CFLDN before and moved with them into a huge and incredible facility. This only shows a small fraction of what’s available! The... https://t.co/8ejfRzrMW5

What an incredible day at the London Youth Games! Sharboni kicked off in the first group, one day out of Ramadan so weren’t going for anything massive. Nice outing of 5/6 lifts finishing on 52/68/120, and taking... https://t.co/RLGyUvoiWI
Big shoutout to @bogdany4 who completed the #RichianSquatProgramme today, hitting a 10kg Pb and very VERY narrowly missing a 15kg Pb! Excellent work mate, the programme has proven over and over again to be very... https://t.co/Eb1fwejjqx
Clean double at 110kg for the big fella (near enough double bodyweight). The programme is going well. Lifts are looking pretty solid. Bring on the British.
