« on: November 26, 2006, 03:00:55 AM »
Hey living in Australia, NSW ive realised we dont seem to be so keen on advertising BB comps and such, now im not saying im gonna go compete anytime too soon (gimme bout 3-6 years ) but it doesnt hurt to know were to look if i  ever wanted to take the oppurtunity.
so anyway, does anyone know of any bodybuilding type shows or comps in australia?

Youve missed the boat for this year

pick up a copy of FLEX or musclemag...in the back it should list the event dates and pomoters to contact. I'm sure theyd be happy to put you on their mailing lists.

Thanks for the website and ill definately pick up a copy of 1 of those musclemag magazines u mentioned, hopefully when i get into good enough shape and im ready il definately consider joining up with 1 of those comps.

lol it would b a nice way to put everyone who reckoned i couldnt do it on the spot, also a good motivation. ;)

Give the ANB a miss altogether. Didnt even know it still existed.

NABBA run there comps in May 'ish
IFFB in October and some other time.

NABBA obviously has less quality than IFBB.

Musclemag has all that info.

Dont bother looking on the net. FLEX AUSTRALIA wouldnt know if their fucken arse was on fire. Update ya site ya lazy pricks.

The quality is pretty good, IMO.

INBA is much better. ANB is a diluted version on the INBA
