Brian benching 600 lbs in the 165 lb class

May 2008 -    "After having my total ranked #1 on Powerlifting USAs top 100 list for the 148 lb. class for the past 6 years and breaking the all time total twice I finally have accomplished my long time goal of making it on the cover. Thank you to Dave Tate and Jim Wendler for making me a part of the Elite Team, Sakari Selkainaho for performing the interview, my training partners for getting me to where I'm at today, and my wife for putting up with me. This means a lot to me." - Brian Schwab
