British Disabled Lifters Association

Jason Irving

I started training for Powerlifting after 'having-a-go' at the Rotary Games in 1992.
My first selection for the GB Team was the European Championships in Budapest, 1993.

I currently  hold both the disabled and able-bodied senior British bench press records in the -60kg class @ 172.5kg & 170kg respectively.
To ensure my selection for the Paralympic games I dropped my  bodyweight , moving down from the 67.5 kg class into the 60 kg class, where I broke the British Record twice in four weeks.
My targets now are to set a new IPC European record, which currently stands at 180kg.
Finish with a medal at the Commonwealth Games 2006.
Finish in the top 5 at the World Championships 2006.
