The Hardcore Kings of the Bench III and Clash of the Titans II at The Ronnie Coleman Classic Expo will be available for viewing on Bodybuilding.com in streaming video a week after the live contest. Both events will take place on April 18th, 2009 at The Mesquite Convention Center just outside of Dallas, Texas. Clash of the Titans II will offer full powerlifting while The Kings of the Bench III will again test some of the strongest benchers in the world.

There will be four weight divisions and the event will be a super open (no age or gender specific classes.)

Up for grabs at the events will be $10,000 in cash prize money. The winner of each division in each competition will be awarded $1,000 cash plus the overall biggest bench and total of the show will each win a bonus $1,000 (not to be determined by formula.) This contest will be in the classic format and though wrist/knee wraps, belts and chalk will be allowed on the platform, bench press shirts and powerlifting suits will not.

Anyone who attends the expo itself will get the opportunity to witness these strength superstars live and in person on the MHP powerlifting stage in Tradeshow Hall B. This will be the fourth professional promotion put on by Hardcore Powerlifting.com and already the event looks to be a stellar showdown of some of the world's top iron athletes.

Past professional competitors have included: Brian Siders, Nick Winters, Jeremy Hoornstra, Matt Kroczaleski, Joe Mazza, Joe Luther, Ray Hickman, Al Davis, James Searcy, Geoff Butia, Trey Scott, Adam Zehr, Dave Marchant, Gunny Green, Brad Tripp, Brandon Cass, Germany's Holger Kuttroff, Levi Van Dyke, Chip Edalgo, Chase Martin, Russell Kitani, Ben Graves, Dustin Gibbins, Lynne Boshoven, Jeremy Brinkley, Anthony Cooper, Jon Grove and Rock Lewis.
