Andras Csiszar is a "Ten Times" Hungarian National Powerlifting Champion in the senior 75Kg bodyweight division, and still the official record holder for the deadlift in the 60Kg division, lifting 222kg in 1995 over 3.5 times his own bodyweight.

Andy started his powerlifting career in 1998, competing in his first competition in 1990. He is currently the 2007 BWLA 75Kg Senior British Powerlifting Champion with a total of 700Kg.

As a chef by trade, sports nutrition is of great interest to Andy, who is currently working on recipes to make what are normally considered the bland ingredients of a powerlifters diet - more interesting.

Andy now trains at the Hi-Rep Gym in Folkestone Kent, and can be seen there most days preparing for the World Championships, to be held this October in Austria.

Andy is currently looking for sponsorship to help take him to the World Title, if you are interested please contact Andy - csiszi100@citromail.hu
