Christmas Bench for Charity

Wednesday night I helped and did a local bench contest to raise toys for local kids. I posted earlier that the gym that puts it on had been burglarized and vandalized and all the toys had been stolen. Well, when we showed up you would have never known. If I heard correct there were over 150 bicycles donated and over 1000 toys... It was the biggest collection they'd ever had. It was awesome.
Here we're maybe 20 girls and guys benching and my wife Mindy had the biggest bench for the girls with 215. I had the biggest for men with 555. I tried 575 which would have been a 2lb pr but I dumped it. One of my training partners Andrew Kneib got a 20lb pr bench of 450. All in all it was a fun night and it was really cool to see all the support for something like that. Sometimes I think that this country is gone to hell but then you'll see something like this and maybe there is a chance...
