British Record

This week Natasha Grocher Branch's British Unequipped Squat record was formally registered by the British Records Registrar. After weighing in just over 60kg, Natasha competed in the 67.5kg class at the British Unequipped Powerlifting Championships, held in Bournemouth on 10-11th October. The lift of 122.5kg, was part of a 317.5kg total that included a 57.5kg Bench Press, and 137.5kg Deadlift, to place second in the class. The squat was a big personal best, exceeding the original record by 2.5kg. Natasha began training at the Club during the 'Introduction to Powerlifting' sessions held at the Club under the London Playsports Summer of Sport.
