Interviews From Critical Bench
Interview With Bench Presser Edward G. Dudley-Robey, M.D.
As told to CriticalBench.com by Ben Tatar - September 2007
CRITICAL BENCH: Welcome Edward, tell us about yourself.
I'm a 33 year old physician who has a happy home life with two dogs, four cats, big screen HDTV, and motorcycle.
CRITICAL BENCH: Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Three years ago, home became Bakersfield, California
CRITICAL BENCH: What exactly do you do? What motivated you to becoming a Doctor and how do you like being a doctor?
My road toward becoming a physician started early. During high school, I volunteered teaching Red Cross CPR classes, then upon joining the U.S. Army served in the medical corps. After an honorable discharge I worked up the ladder from nurse, to naturopathic physician, to graduation from medical school this last June.
Having the ability to help people is very rewarding. As for the future, if all goes as planned, I'll enter a residency program next June.
CRITICAL BENCH: What was it like winning a Bronze Medal in the bench press in the 181 pound class at the 2007 American Powerlifting Federation's Senior National Championships?
It was a dream come true. Not only to compete against the best in the world in Brad Heck, but to earn a chance to represent the United States in Russia, was the culmination of five years striving.

Interview With Powerlifting Promotor Sean "Zilla" Katterle
by Mike Westerdal of CriticalBench.com - September 2007
Critical Bench: Sean Zilla, tell us about yourself and your background in the Iron Game dating back to Monster Muscle Magazine when we first met.
Sean Zilla: I've lived my 35 years up and down the west coast, spending most of my time here in Portland, Oregon but also a few years in San Diego, California and in Spokane, Washington (working for PowerMag and Monster Muscle magazines.) My childhood was a dream and I'm really thankful for my parents turning me on to reading books and being social rather than spending my time wasting my brain on video games and television hidden away in my room (of course, back then the internet and mobile phones were unheard of we didn't live in the virtual world.) In my teens and into my very early 20's I got into more trouble than I really had a right to get into. From playing drums in thrash metal bands to living in punk rock pseudo condemned housing (see the 1980s cult movie Suburbia for reference) I pretty much wasted every economical advantage I'd had in front of me and so, when I finally got serious about my future, I had to punch the clock 40-50 hours a week while also attending community college part time for six years like the rest of the blue collar world. I guess in retrospect, it was good for my character but it definitely wasn't good for my bank account!
