We are hosting a max push/pull event for first-timers and novice lifters. This will give people who either have no or little competition experience a chance gain some confidence before taking on more all-around comps.
Athletes will start with the allocated opener before then choosing the weight for their next 3 lifts on Log press and Axle Deadlift.
There will be Men's & Women's category A & category B. Category A is for lifters with none or 1 competition under their belt. Category B is for novice lifters with slightly more experience.
