Just looking at getting some info on the comp from people who have compete to see what it's like how it's run general stuff really!
I'm thinking of having a crack at it next year

Cheers

just thinking it looks like a good novice comp (as im only starting to compete next year) but cant see where to register or anything? or does its tend to be a few months before the comp?

IMO, it's in a great location but that's about it, poor kit, weights changed on the day, poor communication but that was the opens not sure with the novices but the kit would be the same for both.

Competed in the novice comp. it was a good event. I mainly entered it as I was going down anyway, but it was a fun little comp in front of a decent amount of people. I also went for the little seminar thing on the Friday afternoon, when most of the expo was closed to the public, which was a really good chance to look around at a nice relaxed pace. The seminar was also good in that it gave a chance to talk to mark felix (him and his Missus were running it) terry Hollands, rob Frampton and brian shaw came down.

So yeah, all in all, get on it. I had a good time of it.

Yeah, I did it! I was off my head on free pre-work out stuff some bird gave me at one of the stalls! Was only gonna give me 2 sachets but when i said i was doing strongman comp she gave me a f**kin handful!!!!

I wasn't too arsed about weight changes and s**t cos I was only doing it for fun. Persnoally thought it was a decent comp! Obvious highlight was Dave passing out!!! lol
