The United Powerlifting Association put on a strength competition this weekend called "Prove it on the Platform". Shane Heinze entered the competition's Open Division for the Bench Press and absolutely dominated, throwing up 365# on a strict Bench Press (lower the weight to your chest in a controlled manner, pause until the bar comes to a compete stop, push the weight to a locked out position). He then faulted at 375# because his butt came off the bench, but his original lift was still more than enough to walk away as the winner in the Open Division (due to the fault he wasn't able to complete his final lift, but he's thrown up 400# or so...just FYI). Now if we can get him hooked on CrossFit, we'll have a REAL monster on our hands. Oh, and he doesn't know it yet...but he's getting entered into the Deadlift competition next year. Awesome job brother!
