One of the founders of Manx Powerlifting, Lisa Grant has become a three time British Champion as well as securing her the deadlift record of 190.5kg.
Lisa competed at the British Masters Championships on June 9 in Belfast.
The British Masters Championships is a competition for all those competing in Powerlifting over the age of 40.
She competed in the 76kg category as an Masters 1 lifter and achieved remarkable results.
Powerlifting
A powerlifting competition consists of three squats, three bench press and three deadlifts.
Lisa successfully completed all three lifts in each discipline, ending in a nine for nine competition.
She placed first with a 125kg squat, 72.5kg Bench Press and 190.5kg deadlift, and has now become a two times British Champion.
Most incredibly on the day Lisa’s 190.5kg deadlift secured her the deadlift record in her category.
If anyone over the age of 40 has been inspired by Lisa’s achievements, Manx Powerlifting are holding their very own Manx Masters competition on July 13 at Fusion Barbell, Douglas.
