Powerlifting
CFG will host Scotland’s first ever CrossFit Powerlifting Trainer course on the 18th and 19th of October with Shane and Laura Sweatt of CrossFit Conjugate and Westside Barbell.
CrossFit Conjugate’s team “Conjugate Black” finished second overall in the team division of the 2014 Crossfit Games after only one year of affiliation while Laura Sweatt, powerlifting competitor and coach, has been hailed as the world’s strongest ever woman. Together with Shane, they represent the best opportunity to gain the deeper understanding of the Conjugate method that has made Westside Barbell the world leader in competitive powerlifting. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for both aspiring CrossFit competitors and coaches.
