Here are the guys in action:
Eddie Suarez
Vince Mallace
Vince and Eddie not only brought home a couple trophies from this weekend’s IPA South Philly Push/Push but also managed to break a few Pennsylvania state records. Eddie also bested his personal record in the bench press.
Congratulations to both guys! We’re proud to have athletes like Vince and Eddie on the Max Power team – not because they win but because they have a champion’s mentality. The day after they broke their records, both guys were back out training (see pics below).
