Frank Caminita, who has acted as spokesperson for the APF Scot Mendelson Bench Press Classic which will be held February 16 at the Fit Expo in Los Angeles, announces the prize money distribution for the event. The Lightweight (198&below) winner will receive $5,000, Middleweight (198-259) winner will receive $1,000, and Heavyweight (259&up) winner will receive $5,000.

Caminita explains the large differential in payout to the Middleweights, "Middle weight class is less because he hasn't received hardly any applicants therefore the competition is slim". As of January 1, discussions are ongoing to redefine the weight classes and prize money.
