OSTRAVA, Czech Republic – Andy Childs, a former two-time Canadian Powerlifting Champion and member of three Canadian Powerlifting lifting teams posted a personal best combined 775 kg weight lifted to take the bronze medal in the 110 kg division at the World Masters Powerlifting Championships this October.

Childs’ individual event lifts included:
Squat – 297.5 kg, 2nd place
Bench – 197.5 kg, 6th place
Deadlift – 280 kg, 3rd place

“Pain is temporary, but pride is permanent,” says Childs, an A.C.E. certified personal trainer and owner of Phoenix Fitness, in Ancaster, Ont. “That was my philosophy as a competitor, and that’s the approach I want my clients to adapt as their personal approach to training.”
