WEYMOUTH powerlifter Nigel Orme has extended the two British records he claimed in Frome last month.
Competing in the HiRep Bash, an exclusive invitational competition that has been established for more than 30 years in Folkestone, the Fitness World Weymouth member bench pressed 92.5kg and deadlifted a whopping 152.5kg in the men’s 70kg masters’ category.
Following the performance, which earned him a new British record certificate and two gold medals, Orme told Echosport: “I felt very tired but elated.
“It’s a great end to this year and I’m looking forward to starting qualifiers in March 2015 for the British Champion-ships.”
