JACKSON WON'T BE 2010 WORLD'S STRONGEST BODYBUILDER

New champ to be crowned at 2010 World's Strongest Bodybuilder Challenge


May 14, 2010

FLEXONLINE
It’s official: the second annual World’s Strongest Bodybuilder Challenge will crown a new champion. WSBBC 2009 winner Johnnie Jackson has decided not to defend his title, setting up a showdown between 2009 runner-up Ben White and 2009 NPC Masters National super-heavyweight and overall winner Stan “Rhino” Efferding, who owns the current highest raw powerlifting total of 2,221 pounds.

But the plot thickens! Despite not competing, Jackson has offered to train White in hopes of dashing Efferding’s chances of walking out with the title. (Sounds an awful lot like Rocky III, doesn’t it?)

“Nothing is concrete, but teaming up with Johnnie could definitely happen,” White said.

The contest focuses on two lifts: the bench press and the deadlift. Last year, White posted a 650-pound deadlift and 573-pound bench press. Those numbers, as impressive as they are to most mortals, make the mighty Rhino yawn.

“One week before the ’09 Olympia, I benched 606 and deadlifted 794 for a total of 1,400 — raw. So it’s not even close,” Efferding said in a phone interview. “As far as those two working together goes, it’s just one loser helping out another loser.”

Both monsters told FLEX they’ll lift whatever it takes to emerge the winner, and with bragging rights and the chance to take home $15,000 on the line, there’s little reason to doubt it. We’ll have to wait for Olympia Weekend this September in Las Vegas to settle the dispute, but for now, White gets the last word.

“The title says ‘;World’s Strongest Bodybuilder,’ and that’s what I am #&151; a bodybuilder,” he said. “Stan is a powerlifter who occasionally competes in bodybuilding shows, usually placing somewhere in the top 17, if he’s lucky. One way or another, I’m coming out of this one victorious.”

2010 WORLD'S STRONGEST BODYBUILDER CHALLENGE PRIZE MONEY BREAKDOWN

Winner for highest bench press: $2,500
Winner for highest deadlift: $2,500
Highest combined overall total: $10,000
Runner-up: $5,000
Total purse: $20,000

Well, White will let the Rhino kick his ass for 5000$ (the runner up prize).

The winner win money, the loser win money. I don't understand it :D

^^ I'm more disappointed that JoJ isn't showing up. He needs to get his arse handed to him by Stan after all the BS last year.

^^ 2009 Tampa Pro I think. He came 5th, but not exactly a strong line up in the open (202 was a good line-up) as Dennis James won while looking shockingly ordinary.

Would be interesting to see what kind of suited bench numbers Stan puts up.

They also should have the squat competition in there as well.

Stan has his Pro card so this would make no difference.

It'd make it interesting if Matt Kroc gets a pro card...

Hehe, Stan would have his work cut out for him.

I dunno, Matt doesn't have the raw strength that Stan has... but it would definitely be a good comp.
