O bombeiro adolescente mais pesado da Europa

At just 19 years of age, José Enrique Guirao has just become the firefighter who has lifted the most weight in Europe – within his category – in the powerlifting squat category. “I compete in the category of athletes under 82.5 kilos and I have lifted 182.5 kilos in a squat”, sums up José Enrique, after winning the European Games of Policemen and Firemen that have been held in Torrevieja.

The best benefit for José Enrique is the personal satisfaction of having exceeded his physical limits, to win the victory in this modality of the Games. All this, after undergoing strong training routines that this teenager has alternated with his work shifts as a forest firefighter at the BRIFOR base in the regional park of El Valle and Carrascoy, the green lung of Murcia.
