Is there a minimum weight I should be able to lift before entering a competition?
Also do you have a list of who will be competing?

[Jay]

hi i have a list but they are local lads who have only ever done this show in the past, as for minimum weights i would say you need to be reasonably confidant of doing a rep or two with the log and deadlft if not give it some more "gymtime" before competing.

Address of competition


EGERTON PARK
LEICESTER ROAD
MELTON MOWBRAY
20 MINUTES FROM J21A MI

COMPETITORS BREIF 11.30 START AT 12.00

THIS COMP IS PART OF A LOCAL CHARITY FUNDAY IT IS NOT TOO SERIOUS THE EQUIPMENT IS NOT FANTASTIC BUT IT "DOES THE JOB"

[Bigguns]

Competition sounds great...........i have never done one before as i dabble more with body building - would i disgrace myself i lift the following : full standing barbell presses 95kg 6-8 reps.......deadlift 170kg and bench press 170-180kg...........never used any of the equipment you mention just the standard bars - am i in the ball park ??

[Phil Secure]

this a perfect little show for first timers to have a go. Anyone who wonders what its likr 2 compete should flock to these type shows and they will be hooked!

I notice its on the same day as Allhallows so there will be perhaps a lack of support that would have normally been there but well done for allowing new talent to try strongman.

I can do a couple of reps on a bar but I imagine a log would be totaly different. I wouldnt want to enter any comp until I had least tried lifting a log.

[britishstrongman]

what's the difference between a normal bar and this "t-bar" that's being used in the deadlift?

[Jay]

it is a trap bar you stand in it and lift like a wheelbarrow handles are abouttwo feet apart.

[mark copley john wyard]

me and brotherinlaw would like to have ago at comp if thats possible.
