Graham Mattison, Site manager at RDF Building Services is enjoying a couple of weeks break before he begins his preparation work for the Power Lifting World Championship in Finland. He said:
“I’m having a couple of weeks off as I just competed in the British Championships then I’ll start my preparation work soon. I’m hoping for a top-three finish.”
RDF managing director Rick Firth has sponsored the Yorkshireman this year enabling him to purchase better equipment and helping him to prepare perfectly for the big competitions. Graham has ben in training for five years after his coaches at his gym gave him positive feedback.
“I originally went to their gym to keep fit but seeing all the pictures on the wall, it inspired me to start training. I asked both Andy and Brian if I could get involved,” said Mattison.
Graham hopes to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis unint at Leeds General Infirmary along with his Brother Antony and son Bradley.
He said: “For the last three years I have raised £1,400 each time by getting people to sponsor me £10 here and £5 there in my competitions. People have also sponsored a pound for eacbh kilo I lift.”
Graham has been featured in the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Good Luck Graham!
