Good stuff Like the others have basically said, max strength is important. Lots of reps will help you add bodyweight, but not necessarily strength. Add in some more strength stuff. Keep things simple, no need to do a million and one exercises. I'll do a vid of squatting and deadlifting when I next do them mate.

You can still come though and try just the events that you feel you can do. You can even come as a guest i.e. not actually competing as such, and we can lower the weights for you so you can at least have a go. Ok mate cheers, i'll do that. gonna be deadlifting again tomorrow so i'll post a vid so you can see my form.
