This year 13 Air Assault made its first promising steps into the world of competitive powerlifting, jumping in the deep end at the Army Championships.
Following a brief period of training under the watchful eye of Lt Dave Williams, a team of eager competitors were selected, including Lt Williams, Cpl Young, LCpl Quinn and Pte Rocke.
The Army Powerlifting community quickly turned out to be an extremely welcoming and friendly crowd, not full of ego, but athletes wanting nothing more that to see each other perform to their best.
LCpl Quinn completed her lifts first breaking 3 Tri-Service records, winning her weight category outright and best female lifter overall, taking home two trophies. LCpl Young set new records for his category in both squat, 162.7 kg, and deadlift, 240 kg. Drama grew with Pte Rocke – when setting the new Juniors record for deadlift at 215 kg, defending record holder, Spr Ryan Roberts, RE, pulled a huge 225 kg which Rocke couldn’t match. An outstanding team effort and team venture.
For her incredible efforts, LCpl Quinn has subsequently selected for the Combined Services Powerlifting Team.

A career in The RLC is like no other in the British Army. Thanks to its 16 trade choices, specialisms for both soldiers and officers, all underpinned by an award-winning apprenticeship programme and second to none training; The British Army’s logisticians repeatedly demonstrate they are world-class, innovative and adaptable.
Working closely with Army Digital, the Corps is delighted to announce it has launched a new ‘RLC Careers’ area on its section of the official British Army website to provide previously little-known careers information for serving soldiers and officers and for civilians wanting to join or re-join the Corps.
Still a work in progress, we aim to add information about professional development opportunities over the next few months.
