    Yes, the rules for BA3 will be single ply shirts only and drug tested.

    We're getting quite a few of the top ranked benchers signing up to compete; like Brian Siders, Ryan Kennelly, Beau Moore, Joe Mazza, Wade Hooper, Tiny Meeker, Bill Gillespie, ect. This year's competition should be intense!

    Mendelson recently broke the non drug tested, no bench shirt record by benching an official 715 at the Atlantis Foundation's New England Classic.

    He hasn't officially signed up for BenchAmerica 3 though. BenchAmerica 3 is drug testing all cash money winners, but I don't know if that's a factor in his decision.

    Rychlak has not contacted BenchAmerica to say that he's gonna compete. It's my opinion that he would have a very poor chance of winning any $ if he did.

    Seriously though... there are not that many people who can squat a grand... let alone bench it. The fact that he can just hold it at a locked out position is truely amazing, same goes for Mendy.
