Simon Rawlins and Darrell Swift, from Midsomer Norton, took part in the British Championships Final for powerlifting recently, with Simon coming in second.
The pair had to qualify in a Regional Competition back in March, with the finals held in Thornbury Leisure Centre, which saw 180 athletes compete over two days.
The pair train at MyStyle Gym in Chilcompton, for two hours a day, four days a week. Simon said: “Darrell is going to compete again next year. I have a Strongman competition soon and then I am looking at doing an Ironman next year.”
