MSA Mr and Miss Strength & Fitness competition

Many students and staff came and showed their support as students competed for the title of the fittest and strongest man/woman at Monash South Africa on Thursday, 16 October 2014.

The Men's Strength Competition included: Bench presses and squats, and took place at 13:00 until 14:30 in the gym.

 

The Men and Women's Fitness Competition included: sit-ups, sprints and push-ups, and took place at 16:30, expected to end at 18:00 at Lekgotla Square. However, due to the sudden sand storms that caused mats to be picked up and blown across campus, the competition had to come to an abrupt end at 17:30 and was postponed, leaving many disappointed and without a declared Mr and Ms Strength and Fitness.

The competition then continued at 13:00 on Wednesday, 22 October 2014. Participants competed against each other to achieve the most amount of leg raises, press-ups and sit ups in 2 minutes.

Ross Bull won the men's competition and was declared Monash South Africa's Mr Strength and Fitness!

Thando Mahlangu won the ladies' competition and was declared Monash South Africa's Miss Strength and Fitness!
