Muscle-man Martin Green is ready to take on the rest of Europe after completing a hat-trick of British bench press titles.
The 26-year-old, from Didcot, bettered his own British record by 5k with a lift of 200k to triumph in the 90k class at the British Championships at Swansea.
Martin, who has already represented his country at three European championships, is now hoping to get among the medals for the first time when he competes in Helsinki from August 17 to 20. He took up the sport when he was 16 and - with regular training at Wantage's Manor Gym - Martin has also won five British under 23 crowns as well as competed in two world championships.
He is keen to gain sponsorship for his Finland mission later this year, and anyone wishing to back him should contact him on 01235 210670.
