POWER-LIFTING: World Drug-Free powerlifting record-holder Helen Isaac and Ben France, who both train at Highgate Gym in Kendal, have qualified for the British Championships, which are provisionally set for May 5/6 in Birmingham.
Helen qualified at the North West Divisional heats at Bentham organised by Les Pilling.
Ben France, who has spent the last few years bodybuilding and now judges with the NPA (natural physique association), was having his first powerlifting contest.
He achieved a personal-best in both bench press and deadlift and he easily reached the qualifying total.
Helen was feeling a little worn-out after her World Championship exploits and lifted just what was required to confirm her place.
