At Bros vs Pros #9 on Dec 3rd, the Jakked Hardcore community provided over <strong>1600lbs</strong> of pet food to support local animal shelters. Unfortunately, the event planners failed to reciprocate as previously promised. So, to prove what kind of a hardcore community we are, we're doing it again ourselves!</p> <p>For your enjoyment, two teams will be facing off head-to-head in a two-man joint deadlift competition with an incredible 1200lbs on the bar. $10 gets you in the door and entered in a raffle to win half the prize money, with the other half going entirely to our shelters. You can also drop off pet food donations anytime between now and the show.</p> <p>Come spend your pre-holiday Friday evening with your friends at Jakked Hardcore Gym, and help support a worthy cause at the same time.

Pro Amanda Harris racked up over 100 reps in each event of the deadlift and curl medley, and young local legend Eric Lilliebridge capped off the competition by deadlifting 800lbs to win the max lift portion. Derek Poundstone gave the crowd a post-competition treat by curling 160lbs for reps, destroying one innocent laptop computer in the process.</p> <p>If you weren't able to view it live, you can check out the entire recorded stream on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Official-Bros-V-Pros-Event-from-RxMusclecom/275127265834047?sk=app_196506863720166">Facebook</a> and see videos of the <a href="http://www.rxmuscle.com/videos/lifestyle/4659-celebrity-bowling-battle-of-the-sexes-at-bros-vs-pros-9-weekend.html">unlikeliest bowling competition ever</a> and more at <a href="http://rxmuscle.com">rxmuscle.com</a><br/>&nbsp;</p> <p>This might be the last event for 2011 at Jakked Hardcore Gym, but we're already hard at work planning for 2012.
