'You're never too old to try something new'

摘要

MY motivation for starting was WO1 Dave Heath (AAC). He has won world titles and one day in the gym he asked if I was interested in powerlifting - it began there. I've always lifted weights and, having previously served in tne Infantry, felt I had to be strong to climb over walls and carry equipment. When I joined tne Army 23 years ago the emphasis was on getting your kit on and going for a long run, but attitudes have changed now. It is important to look after your body and health - we play hard, fight hard and train hard. I'm not getting any younger and you're only as good as your last cock-up. It is my duty to be fit and I hope to inspire the younger generations behind me.
