Roy Bradshaw Benches 903 at SPF Bench Press Challenge
Super Training's Roy Bradshaw reached a long-time personal goal by benching 903 lbs in the SPF Sacramento Bench Press Challenge on February 7, 2010. Roy was unsuccessful in this first two attempts at 903 but received 3 white lights on this third. His previous best competition press was 843 in December 2009. (When viewing the video, please note that Roy has restricted range of motion in one elbow. Referees were aware of this restriction.)
The meet was held as a benefit for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Those wishing to add their support to this important cause can do so by donating here.
Roy has stated that he will now take a break from competitive benching to pursue some health-related goals.
