The best weightlifters and para powerlifters from across the UK descended on Birmingham's NEC arena across the Friday 11th - Sunday 13th July for the 2025 British Championships. With the next Commonwealth Games nearly a year away and qualification for the Team Wales squad being fiercely contested, it seems fitting the location for such a prestigious event is held on the same site as the previous Commonwealth Games in 2022.

From setting the scene and with all the rigorous preparation undergone by all athletes, it was now time to call the action. A total of 25 Welsh athletes qualified for this year's British Championships, comprising of 23 athletes as Seniors and 2 as Masters.
