The 2017 Stack City Fitness Push/Pull Contest is on December 9, the third strongman competition this year at the Barkly Hotel venue.
However organisers say the Push/Pull Contest is the first powerlifting competition in town for 20 years.
A Push/Pull contest consists of the bench press and deadlift with three attempts each to lift the maximum weight you can.
The heaviest weight of the two events will go towards your overall total.
There will be men and womens categories and after weighing in competitors will be divided into weight categories (three for men and three for women) and trophies will be awarded for the winners of each.
There will also be an overall men and womens winner using the Wilks formula.
Entry is $35 ($25 before November 15) and to register go to https://form.jotform.co/72750857094869
The event starts at 10am.
