Paul_D		Which comp?	08-04-2009 @ 15:04
Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Basically i'd just like some advise on which competition i should do as my first one? The only thing is, i'm in Exeter from the 27th April (for 10 weeks) at uni, then i'll be back home (in Cheadle, Staffordshire), after that for a fairly long time (at least 3 months). I don't mind travelling really, as long as the comp is easily accesible via train travel. On the specific type of comp, i really don't mind, i'd just really like to compete. I have however never had the chance/priveledge to use "strongman" type equipment and feel that this would be a massive disadvantage (i have no access to this type of stuff). Chances of winning are not too important too me, i'd just like to get involved and compete (obviously doing well would be nice). Another note, i currently am hovering at just under 75kg, i would like to focus on bulking this year and get up to a respectable weight (I am 5ft 7" btw) of around 80kg, but if you suggest a powerlifting comp, it would obviously be in my best intrests to stay under 75kg i would assume. So, after that unnessecarily long post, any one got any ideas? Paul

Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	No suggestions fellas? I was just looking through the comp archive and the Adlington OH and Pull would be right up my street. Any plans on running anything like that in the near future? I'd make a day trip up to sugden/adlington or wherever. Paul

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205 497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator	I'm sure there will be an Adlington comp this summer... they're probably just waiting to find a good date for it which will be a touch tricky with all the comps on in summer time. Keep a look out on the forum and I'm sure one will be announced enough.... Rob and Boar make a double come back maybe??!? GBPF Lancs and Cheshire 24th May is a perfect first comp in my opinion... if you could get up North for that it would suit you down to the ground.... friendly atmosphere perfect for comp debut. All the best with it mate

Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Rob: Thanks alot for the reply, the GBPF Lancs and Cheshire does look like it would be a good first comp, not sure i'd be able to get up there due to uni commitments etc though . But just out of intrest, what would the qualifying total be for an under 75kg under 23 year old? Also, would i need to sign up to the GBPF? Paul

Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Boar:- Thanks, the 440 seems high (compared to the equipped number), but i'm sure i could nail it. I'd be looking for a 460-470kg total (not too good i know, but this is what i'm pretty sure i could get). Just another completely stupid question.... Would i need to "qualify" for this comp? Paul
