        Bath Uni will just be some joker of a coach though... You wanna get over to the Empire Sports club in Bristol bout 45mins from Bath ..... Train with Bradley Burrows who just broke the british snatch record @ 85kg with an easy 158kg.. A very good friend of mine who will look after you ... Other great lifters who hail from Empire are David Morgan 4th place Olympic Games 1988 and David Guest BR holder on Jerk @ 94kg with 196kg ...... The Coach Andy Sutur i think, He is one of the good guys..

Hi Mark
Thanks very much for posting that info on the current scene in British weightlifting - rather an 'eye opener",to say the least.

Mark,I'm a little curious - is Bradley Burrows by any chance related to Newton Burrowes? (winner of silver and gold medals at the 1978 and 1982 Commonwealth Games respectively).

Regards and best wishes

Mark yes yes. How are you fella? How's the little one?

So off to Thailand eh? How's training been going? What you looking for 320ish?

Good luck mate.

Good luck to you all.

I trained for 4 months with coach Keith Morgan at Crystal Palace. Top guy and coach, had some very good lifters being trained by him. John Osman, Jo Calvino and Halil Zorba, any of them going with the British team?

Best of all.

Keith Morgan is going for GB as Coach, Can(John) Osman lifts for Cyprus and is going @94kg...
