How did you get into powerlifting?
I fell into it, really. I played rugby as a teenager and trained with weights to build my strength. After getting injured, I gave up rugby but continued with the gym work. When I was 33, some mates invited me to watch a powerlifting competition. I discovered I was pretty good at the bench press, and it went from there.
