We here at Hardcore Powerlifting headquarters wanted to say “THANK YOU!” to these fine, strength training publications for their support of our upcoming Spring 2012 pro shows.

IRON MAN Magazine has ran a number of articles and interviews I’ve put together over the last six years in addition to letting me publish this blog on their website. As a media prize for our MHP’s HERCULES 2012 heavyweight tournament (Ronnie Coleman Classic Expo, March 31st, Mesquite Convention Center, Mesquite / Dallas, Texas) and our MHP’s Hardcore Powerlifting Record Breakerz (Emerald Cup Expo, April 20th and 21st, Meydenbauer Center, Seattle, Washington) IRON MAN Magazine has offered to publish a feature training interview with the powerlifter who posts the biggest three lift total out of both of our springtime showdowns.

Jeff Everson of Planet Muscle Magazine has been a sponsor and supporter of our promotions since the very first Kings of the Bench comp in Las Vegas. Carrying on with that sponsorship, PM is running a 1/2 page, full color, pre-contest press release in their upcoming April issue. Jeff’s also the media sponsor who’s provided $2,000 worth of our cash prizes! And Planet Muscle routinely runs photographs of our Hardcore Powerlifting pros so THANK YOU PLANET MUSCLE for all your sponsorship and support!

And, in their March 2012 edition, Powerlifting USA Magazine has ran a 1/2 page, full color press release to add even more octane to our marketing machine. PLUSA has been covering our contests since 2006 and we’ve gotten featured on a number of their covers. Big thanks to Mike Lambert and the rest of the PLUSA for their continued coverage and assistance with our promotional efforts.
