Bench press challenge 2008 to now

Entries closed for the 4th Annual 2011 Drive Fitness Bench Press Challenge on Friday 25 February. We are now within 5 weeks of competition day and from all reports everyone's training is going great. This year we will see the most participants to compete in a Drive Fitness Bench Press Challenge ever with an estimated 50 competitors taking to the flat bench.

On the 31st May 2008 the first ever Drive Fitness Challenge was hosted by the Tarragindi studio (the only Drive Fitness studio at the time) with a total of 7 male and 4 female competitors. With a return to the Tarragindi studio in 2009 we saw the field grow to 9 male and 10 female participants, with more female than male competitors remaining a trend right up till this years competition. 2009 was also the first ever Trainer Team Challenge with Team David winning the title. The 2010 competition was hosted by the Mt Gravatt studio and  once again we witnessed an increase in participation with 15 men and 20 ladies giving it there best.on the bench press.

Now in 2011, the new Seven Hills studio will host our 4th and biggest Bench Press Challenge. The Trainer Team Challenge returns this year and David has been very vocal about intending to win the team challenge for a second time, will he and his team be successful? With the biggest lift and best relative score growing in both male and female divisions every year so far, will we see these results continue to improve in 2011? Will we see a new male champion after having the same winner in the men's division for the last three years? We will see a record broken by having the same female champion two years in a row? Could this be the first year that the trainers are outlifted by participants? So many questions all answered on 2 April 2011.
