2008 USA World Bench Team!

Hey everybody! They have posted a new website for the 2008 USA World Bench Team. You can view it here: http://www.2008benchnationals.com/worldteam.htm. Note: they have me listed from Texas since we will be living there at the time of the actual World Championship which is June 25-28, 2008. Be sure to click on my picture to read my bio! You can also track my training progress at http://titan500.blogspot.com/.

With this competition right around the corner, I am currently seeking sponsorship donations to help cover my expenses so I can represent the USA at the IPF World Bench Press Championships in Prague, Czech Republic in June 2008. On November 18, 2007 I won the USAPL National Bench Press Championships in Denver, CO with an all-time personal best bench press of 639 pounds. This win automatically qualified me for the World Championships. This Championship is very special because it is the Open Championship which includes ALL ages. The meet I went to in Germany last past September was for Masters, which is for lifters 40 years old and up.

My survival as a teenager of a life-threatening bone infection in my right arm and my recovery from the terrible triceps injury I suffered in 2002 in my left arm to now being a part of TEAM USA at the biggest bench press competition on the planet is a remarkable story and a testament to God’s ability to bless those who walk in obedience to Him.If you would like to contribute this historic event, please mail any donations to:

Byron Nichols
222 Lighthouse Ln
Brandon, MS 39047

I appreciate your consideration and I am hopeful you will chose to be a part of my sponsorship program.

In Him,

Byron
