Each day of the Expo we will be centre stage showing the public the most exciting of our movements!

First place in each weight class will win prize money of $500 and will also be awarded one of StrongMelbourne’s fantastic trophies!

Weight Classes:

Women u72.5kg u82.5kg and Open / Men u90kg u105kg Heavy Weights

This is our first year working with the Expo and we will have a reduced number of weight classes this year, if our competition goes well then in 2017 we will hope to incorporate all weight classes and get event more exposure!

All competitors will compete all 3 days to get the most exposure possible for men and women. Each day will start at 2pm sharp and carry on untill 5pm, so athletes must be at the marshaling area 30 minutes before this to warm up and account for themselves.

Weigh ins will be on Thursday, we will allow video weigh ins at gyms we confirm to allow as wide as field as possible from around the country. You can also opt to weigh in on the day.
