The IFBB British Grand Prix & Fitness Expo weekend is nearly on us...

... Just take a look at the amazing fusion of strength and fitness that will be on show. Some of the strongest, leanest, meanest, fastest, most elegant and top class athletes ever gathered under one roof.

Richard Vint from World Gym Challenge.com attempts his long awaited chance to break the existing three year record set by former Royal Marine and now Firefighter (Neil Cameron) on the World Gym Challenge, using Life Fitness equipment.

The chance to set the record time will be boosted by an appearance by Sam O' Sullivan from Wales, runner up in last years Fit Brit who will give Richard a real run for his money on the day.

Who knows, there may even be a surprise entry from one of the thousands that are competing and showing of their fitness and strength abilities who may even try and show what they are made of. It all waits to be seen.
