Hands must be wrapped around the bag, NOT hooking your fingers underneath.

Event 5 – MYSTERY EVENT

CLASSIC from us I know!

A mystery event is a surprise event that won’t be revealed until the day BEFORE of the competition.

You won’t know what it is ahead of time, so you can’t prepare for it specifically. It could be anything, strength, endurance or a mix of both!

The idea is to test your adaptability and have fun with the unexpected.

Get ready for the unknown and give it your best.

But for now get your entries in. Each person will be given a competition t-shirt, in the entry form you’ll pop your t-shirt size in.

See you in May!

Hey! Looking forward to seeing you all in action on Sunday

Just wanted to send all the details over to you again, because I'm sure people have lost the previous email: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HJGPP7q0zJ8PLrgZma62uLP26rWR7doyoGnzLciusTg/edit?usp=sharing

Other details:

1) Mystery Event Announced Saturday - 9am on the instagram page. Follow @agfstrongest

2) We'll post a walk through where everything will be on Saturday too, so please make sure you follow us on the instagram page

3) Live results links will be sent out Saturday too and will also be on the instagram! (It will NOT be on Strength Results - as if you were at the last comp it was a pain in the ass, so one of my amazing clients has built this incredible platform, which looks great and much more user friendly!)

See you all Sunday

Peace!

18 Days To Go ! - Media Packages 15th Apr 2026 1:06pm

Just a quick reminder that there are still a limited number of media packages available, so make sure you grab yours here:
https://snappedbytom.pixieset.com/booking/

Because let’s be honest… who wouldn’t want a new profile pic pulling a minibus? Or a video to show your nan what you’ve been up to?

And come Monday morning, when everyone’s talking about their Aldi shop, you’ll be the one saying you spent the weekend pulling a minibus… proof included.

If you don’t have the footage, did it even happen?
