The RUM is rocking the house so far! (No surprise there.)

Al Davis for the win !

Big Al's also a 2 x MHP Kings of the Bench Hwt. Champ and a MHP's Clash of the Titans Hwt. Benchpress Champion. This is the third show he's gone over 600 pounds raw on the press and he's a national level NPC bodybuilder.

Here's his (bodybuilding) off season diet and workout program:

Way to go Adam Zehr too. It was great having Adam lift at our first Clash of the Titans and he's an incredible pound for pound bencher.

Much Respect,
Sean

Excellent live stream. I really enjoy having the announcer call out the weights in both kilos and pounds. Looks like a really well run meet. No surprise there, I guess!

The announcer you mentioned is Niko Hulslander of Garage Ink Powerlifting and owner of Vison Fitness of PA and EO Sportsgear......maker of the best Board vest in the business.
Niko is an awesome lifter and multi time champion.
He will also be the announcer again this year at the Arnold for Powerlifting.

Great job as always Niko !

Yes, I talk with Al Davis regularly and I was planning on interviewing him in the near future. Hopefully other reporters do too.

Stay Strong,

Congratulations to Zehr. Wish Danny Thurman would have been there, I think he would have smoked the 181's. Here is a vid of Danny doing 405 off a 1 board.

Hey Mike DE Laval, I was watching on Ustream and noticed you were off center to the right on the bench. You may want to have your spotters make sure you are square and I think your lagging right arm lockout will clear up.
