Not only did they compete against people from Dubbo, but also against people all across NSW.
Hannah McDonald, MC of the day says the GPC sanctioned event was a push pull competition, with central west competitors showing no shortage of talent.
Some of the best lifters come out of the central west so there was over 10 national records broken on the day. There is a lot of talent coming from this area.

“We were actually going up against everyone else in the state, so we get a state position as well.”
Local competitor, Dylan McDonald had some of the heaviest lifts of the day, and was placed up against National and World Record holders.
