People accustomed to lifting 200 pounds or more will compete for trophies and prizes during the fifth annual bench press competition at Villa-Parke Community Center in Pasadena on Saturday, Sept. 26.
Participant weight-in begins at 11 a.m. and the competition starts at 1 p.m. Applications
are still available for participants 18 years and older at the center’s front desk. Weightlifters will compete in five weight categories.
Last year’s bench press winner in the super-heavyweight division was Ricky Pickens, who pressed 565 pounds.
“The contest started five years ago as friendly competition among those working out with weights at the center and continues to grow more competitive each year, with additional sponsors and prizes,” said Bill Davis, recreation coordinator.
This year’s competition is sponsored by Max Muscle, Juice It Up! and the city of Pasadena.
Admission is free. Villa-Parke Community Center is at 363 E. Villa St. For more information call (626) 744-6523.
