BUCS '26

HUGE CONGRATS to our '25-'26 captain for competition at the British unis championships.

Having been injured mere weeks ago, Ricky shows his true colours and not only added 42.5kgs to his total, making for a whopping 752.5kg!! He also took first place in his category 🏅

At one of the most competitive meets a student can compete, he showed that his discipline and grit pulled through.

We're all proud to have called him our captain, and cant wait to see where his journey takes him

Love and gains 💪💪💪
