More Prizes Added to MHP's Kings of the Bench III

In addition to the $10,000 in cash prizes being paid out at MHP's Kings of the Bench III and Clash of the Titans II (  thanks to our title sponsor, MHP,  http://www.GetMHP.com  ) we now have some excellent prizes for the 2nd place finishers in the benchpress division!
 
Niko Hulslander and Mark Martin of Extreme Obsession Sports Gear are awarding each of the (4) 2nd place benchpress finishers with an EO Sports Gear Benchpress Boards Vest!  http://www.eosportsgear.com

The EO Boards Vest retails for $119 and it's the best way to train with bench boards when you don't have a third training partner to hold the boards securely on your chest. I purchased an EO Boards Vest myself a few weeks ago when I was cleared to begin lifting heavier again. I have two training partners but, due to work and family obligations, it's rare that all three of us are able to meet up at the same time on benchpress training day - enter the EO Sports Boards Vest !

With a collapsible pouch, the EO Board Vest can easily hold 1-6 bench boards. So, whether you train alone or with a training partner, this vest can be easily adjusted to fit any body type. With 3 different sizes available (and several designs and colors) let the EO Board Vest become a staple product of your bench training. It's the best way to train your benchpress lockout (and to build your triceps) when you don't have always have three or more people training with you on bench days. The words I use to describe the EO Boards Vest are durable, sturdy and useable. Niko and Mark obviously put a good deal of time into the designing of this benchpress vest.

EO Sports Gear will be running a tradeshow booth at The Ronnie Coleman Classic (in the powerlifting hall) and they'll also be giving a 30 minute seminar on the MHP Powerlifting Stage while the benchers are warming up backstage. So, hopefully you can make it to The Ronnie Coleman Classic Expo to check out this cool new product in person !
