I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is any comps held for anyone 50 or over.

Iv not been training long about 10 weeks for strongman and i competed in my first comp about 2 weeks ago and really enjoyed it.

My father in law trains with me and hes 56, for his age hes as strong as an ox hes only lacking on deadlift as he only started doing it when he started training with me.

He really got the bug at the comp and maybe fancys competing, i have confidence and believe he could enter a novice comp and do well but hes not as confident so i suggested id have a look and see if theres any comps or if anyone knows if there is any for the slightly older generation.

Boar competed well into his 50's so just get him to do some novice comps.

The Salt Ayre Classic does have a masters section I believe. Have a look for it in the comp section mate.

Would be great to have a Masters category available, have it 40+ like other sports.
Think it would do really well (and i wouldn't have to compete against people younger than my kids lol!!)
