the events are all doable for novices.i did the ministry of muscle novice comp in 2008 and they had 100kg log for reps and 280 yoke for distance.also 90kg farmers which was to easy for most of the competitors.my feeling is we need to slowly bridge the gap between novive and opens or novice and 105 otherwise once someone wins a novice where will they go from there.please ring me on 01322 222284 to sign up for the comp please as need to get details off you.also prizes have been confirmed.
1st place wins trophy,£100 and some multipower supps
2nd place wins trophy,£50 and some supps
3rd place wins trophy,£20 and some supps

If you try to bridge the gap between novice and open to much you will just put off new comers from giving it a try.

Most novice comps yokes start at around 240kg.

The transition from novice to inters to open needs to be regulated properly and would be if a governing body was formed to put something down in writting.

As a general rule they say inters (open weight) are the same as U105kg qualifiers not that novice (open weight).

I do like the look of the rest of the comp though.

Who is 'they'?

Lots of us are doing the Unit 20 Novice comp with a Yoke of 280kg and a 260kg frame carry. Don't see many complaining that its too heavy, in fact the comp has 25 places and has been oversubscribed.

Promoters need some license to run their own comps, that's what makes this sport interesting.
