Competitions

[Marcel Erasmus]

Can somebody please tell me when there will be a competition that anybody can enter and has got a novice category. Cheers

We're approaching the end of the competition year now, so there aren't that many shows left. My suggestion would be to check out our Event Calendar and look at the shows that ran this year - that'll give you a rough idea of what will run when next year.

As far as the novice category goes, they'll all have that. The only question is what class you want to enter - physique, athletic, etc. And the criteria for that changes from federation to federation.

The only competitions left this year are NZIFBB Nationals, NABBA-WFF Nationals and NABBA Nations. Maybe some INBA shows not sure.

Actually both Nabba NAC and NZIFBB both have 1 more comp after the nationals. They are a really early qualifier for next year. Nabba WFF nationals don't require qualification to enter so there 3 comps available in the next month or so.

But if you're not in shape to compete just yet there are usually the first few shows start in about April next year so that should give you plenty if time to prepare.

Cheers guys. I am about 4 to 5 weeks away from being totally competition ready.

There is the North Harbour Body Building Championships on 20th October... I think Tom will be competing, plus there are a few I know from Waikato travelling up...
