party trick is probably the piston squat, when you squat down with one

The twins will 29, compete in the same event for the first time at the National Amateur Body-Builders' Association (NABBA) North West show. If successful, the sisters will both go on to the national finals and then NABBA Universe 2016.

The twins were born just seven minutes apart and grew up in Staffordshire's Newcastle-under-Lyme. Jenny, right, who works and a personal trainer and who now lives Wigan, has been competing for three years and has made NABBA Universe before, while Lucy, left, who lives in Stoke-on-Trent, started just a year ago
Jenny, a personal trainer now living in Wigan, said: 'People think of twins as being weedy, we come from half an egg after all, but we've always been athletic and good at sport.
'We liked cross country and volleyball and always saw ourselves as a team, supporting each other.
'It's the same today. We encourage each other, I am just as happy to see Lucy do well as I am to succeed myself and I know she feels the same.'

Jenny explained: 'If you didn't have the few days' rest between and worked on all your body parts at every workout, they would still ache and you would really struggle.
'This way, by rotating them, we give our bodies a chance to rest and recover.'

Jenny (left) and Lucy (right) are also taking to social media, having launched their Instagram account less than two months ago and already boast 5,000 followers. Jenny says she is extremely competitive
Jenny said: 'I am extremely competitive, I want to win and if I don't, I am immediately at looking at how I can improve.
'I have always wanted to go on the TV show Total Wipeout but I know if I didn't win, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
'If I come away from a competition and I haven't won, I really beat myself up.'
She added: 'When it comes to Lucy though, I am happy if I came second and she came first, and I know she feels the same way.
'If I had to pick though, I would obviously want myself to win.'

Lucy, right, said: 'We get plenty of attention when we are out. 'The guys are usually a bit shy, a little intimidated perhaps. They get a bit nervous when you challenged them to an arm wrestle.'

She added: 'When we were growing up, girls on the whole were not muscular or sporty; it was as if they thought they had to look a specific way.
'But things are changing and more and more women are getting into body-building - I hope we can inspire some of them.'
