in my opinion a novice is somebody whos only in their first-third comp....and dl's over 250kg i think intermediates should be entered however saying this freaks of nature that have walked into the gym and pulled that kinda weight first time they ever deadlifted (like hollands) so it's a hard area to define.

robs call at the end of the day, its his comp and im sure he'll weed out any non novices trying to get in.

this is my first comp so i am very excited! wishing all that enter luck x

The deadlift is only 200 anyway?? This will be my second comp, i've pulled a 240, but 90 overhead is going to be hard for me.

Dont panic Flynno - I am in the same boat.

As far as I am concerned, Rob will make sure its a great comp. Concentrate on using it to do YOUR best and gain some experience.

I always go into things with the mindset that I will give 100% and I love beating the guys who are much bigger than me!! On the same note, I dont mind being beaten by someone who is genuinely better as long as I know I have done my best.

This is a nice comp, not excessively heavy but a good test in several different areas - strengths and weaknesses will be revealed.

Just going to have a laugh, get some piss taking from Rob and the Strength-tec bretherons and break some PB's!!!!

Can I add my deadlift is my best event, but also MY overhead is crap incant even do an120kg lift and as this would be my second comp I'm still classed as a novice, I did Severn valley first timers last year and iv had some good gains since then, what you going to do ban everyone that has a chance of winning this comp??? Anyways it's totally up to rob at the end of the day, someone has to win and as fat as a 300kg squat erm yeh, it's a massive squat I'm still only a 240kg squat plussy bench overhead is crap, plus I could be lying about my big three to make myself look bigger then I am lol my deadlift is only 200 really Happy

think everyone will have their strengths and weaknesses and surely if youve never come top 5 in a novice comp you must still be a novice?
