Friday, May 8th, at The NPC Emerald Cup Expo
The Meydenbauer Center, Bellevue, WA

All competitors must have completed on a posing stage at least once, over the last 24 months, to qualify for this "Bodybuilding bench contest."

$1,300 in CASH Performance Bonuses For The Men + $1,100 in CASH Performance Bonuses For The Women
Trophies For 1st Place In Each Class + An Overall Winner's Trophy
Complimentary t-shirts, tank tops, ankle socks and War Hammer brand compression shorts for all of the athletes.

Two Divisions For Men: Bodybuilding and Physique
Three Divisions For Women: Bodybuilding, Fitness/Physique and Figure/ Bikini
Eight Body Weight Classes for Men and Six Body Weight Classes For Women
This is an “Old school”, classic, raw benchpress competition. NO benchpress super shirts allowed. Elbow sleeves/wraps are also illegal. Wrist wraps, chalk (hands) and weight lifting belts are acceptable. There will be a “Start”, “Press” and a “Rack” command. The bencher’s butt and shoulders must remain in contact with the bench pad at all times. The heels of the foot can be up or down, but the feet cannot slide around on the floor. Athletes can get a hand off out of the rack, but the “Start” command won’t be given until the hand off person has let go of the barbell and moved out of the way of the head judge. The bar must come to a full stop on the chest, before the head judge will issue the “Press” command, but an extended pause is NOT required. The “Rack” command will be given once the bencher’s arms are fully locked out at the conclusion of the lift. Each competitor will get 3 max bench attempts. Safety spotters will be in place. This contest will not be drug tested. The weigh ins will occur 2 hours before the lifting begins on stage. No one wearing any brand of “Competition tan color” will be allowed in the warm up area or on the benchpress stage. These tanning creams and sprays coat the barbells and benches and they are a safety hazard in addition to having the potential of making a mess of the competition grade, benchpress equipment.

This guy is a beast and not talked about enough. NOt good enough to win big shows, but crazy build for a guy his strength.

I've got some pretty nice ones made out of Styrofoam that I'd love to use there.

not the right time and place to be performing an exorcism...

I agree Ron and would be pumped to go if I lived in the area.
Reminds me of the old AAU meets that included a strength or lifting event along with the bodybuilding contest.
Cool that it's raw lifting without those absurd modern bench shirts.
It seems silly that anyone would try to insult Sean K, Stan E or make fun of this event?

:)
-
Is it open to pro's?
Yes. IFBB pros are welcome to enter.
-
Pretty cool event...
Thanks Ron. We're hoping that this is a good addition to The Emerald Cup Expo.

That's Joe Luther. He's not a bodybuilder. But he did raw bench 420 pounds at 165 pounds of body weight at The 2006 Olympia Expo.

Thanks Howard. I've been involved with organizing and running these classic powerlifting / power benching comps since 2001. So my skin's pretty thick at this point. Getting smart ass remarks from guys who were in grade school, when I began my career, doesn't affect me too much, ha! They'll come around once they see how much fun our shows are and how nice it is to finally be rid of the goofy bench shirts and squat suits (14 years ago our sport was a mess.) And we're hoping that the bodybuilding community will appreciate getting to compete on the bench without having to take on the benchpress specialists. Plus the question "Who's the strongest bodybuilder in the community" is an interesting one to me and hopefully to others as well.

Howard, what were you able to bench in your younger days? You look like you could have thrown some heavy steel around in this picture...

I'm pretty sure such a gentleman would have them bad boys tailored for maximum "effect".

most getbiggers carry a .45 everywhere we go. ;D
Getting back to topic...
Stan's the man... he's been consistently crushing weights at top level for over a decade now. Age can't touch him!
I wish more companies did the crowd-involvement thing like this.

Back in my early days of bodybuilding in the eighties in South Florida. Used to be bench press contests in all of the local gyms. Great times.

;D
