The group of lifters is made up of athletes which are part of the National Team, others who compete at an advanced level, and also the beginners whose level is called “escuelita” (little school).

This sport has rendered the Club important participations at the national and international level, like the Olympic Games, World Championships, Panamerican and Southamerican Tournaments.

Records at various levels have been established by our athletes, who have allowed the Club and the country to attain great esteem.

The “escuelita” comprises club members starting at the age of 11 who are eager to learn, to develop their skills and to enjoy themselves.

Adequate facilities are made available by the Club for the practice of this sport, as well as a set of instructors who offer a wide experience acquired within the country or abroad.

The benefits of the practice of weight lifiting are:

•  A comprehensive physical development which allows:
•  an increase in physical strength and power
•  the development of suppleness and flexibility
•  the development of bodily motor coordination
