Weightlifting Clubs in Oregon

Oregon LWC – Official Site of Oregon Weightlifting

Heavy Athletics WL Club – Creswell, OR.

Franco Sports Training – These guys are over on the west side.  Lifters include my friend, Mighty Kat.

Five Rings Jiu Jitsu – While their prime focus is martial arts, they also have a weightlifting club.  They start their training at 5am!  Now, that’s dedication.

Shoes, Singlets, and other Equipment

VS Athletics - This is the first place I send people who are looking for shoes.  They have a couple types, and they are cheaper than most.

Pendlay Barbell - Glenn Pendlay’s site. He sells shoes, plates, bars, etc.

Risto Sports -  I bought my new shoes from these guys.  There are custom made in pretty much any color you want, so it takes a while to get to you.  But, their sweet!

Dynamic Fitness – Adidas  shoes, singlets, and a lot of other stuff.

Werksan – Shoes, singlets, plates, bars, etc.
