Great Britain Senior Powerlifting Squad

Ben Banks, no longer a Junior lifter, was invited to attend the GB Senior Squads as a taster for the future. With many lifters not reaching their prime until their late thirties or even mid forties, Ben still has a long time left in the sport to build his lifts up to level to make selection for the Senior team. Ben was joined by another Junior lifter, who was also invited along, as a way to encourage the lifters to stay focused and tackle the jump in level from the Junior competitions. Hopefully with the support and training environment at the Club, Ben will be able to continue all the way, possible even being challenged by some of the other lifters on the British Barbell Team!
