Women urged to try powerlifting by British champion
Briefly

"Honestly try strength training. I competed the first time at the age of 51 and now, aged 54, I'm an international medallist for GB and England. This really is for you."
"What I really love about powerlifting is you really notice, really quickly, you can build this goal. My back squat is 155kg, my bench press is 90kg and my deadlift is 190kg."
"It's not just about losing weight or gaining weight to go to the gym. It's about the community, it's about the mental health aspect and how your body feels."
"I want to encourage other women who are like me, other women that are over 40 and sitting on the couch thinking, 'Oh, I only did that at school' or 'that's for other people'. This really is for you."
