Rychlak missed it but I bet he craped himself when the bar rolled on him.

yet another fat person failing at something

those damn bench shirts are a joke. it looks like rigormortis has set in.

[juicy_brucy]

retarted. simply retarted.

[Liquidred]

???? That was 1015 lbs. You guys are acting like he was doing something easy... If your setting the world record for bench press your not going to look like a body builder. I dont think anything is retarded about it. You guys are being dicks about it.

[Smak]

Most benchers on his level could do what he did in that video. He didn't finish it, but i'll give him credit for trying. All I can say is GOD DAMN that must have hurt.

take the bench shirt off and its closer to a 700 lb bench. larry allen from the cowboys did a 700 bench with no bench shirt.

He was going to be the first man to bench over 1000lbs....which means no one else has ever done that

Yea, but he didn't do it so what's your point.

With or without a bench shirt that's still a lot of weight. Yeah a bench shirt will make a difference, but not 300# bro. I would venture to say that he could get 700# without a bench shirt too. Either way, he's got the world record already and I don't see anyone else attempting it yet.

But as far as being fat, have you ever watched World's Strongest Man? With the exception of one, they aren't built like bodybuilders either. They're not all fat, but they're still big men. And fat or not, there's still gotta be muscle there because the last time I checked fat won't help you bench/squat/dead lift anymore

But put a bench shirt on that allen character and he wont bench press 1015ibs so obviously Rychlak is stronger

[decadbal]

if he had to pick up 700lbs worth of ice cream maybe...

[Kärnfysikern]

Yea, but he didn't do it so what's your point.

he has benched 1005ibs if Im not misstake. This was just his attempt to break his own world record.

[decadbal]

man its amazing what 10 little lbs will do..

[Billyspt4]

No, Gene Rychlak Jr.'s world record is 965. Nobody has benched over 1000 pounds yet. Scot Mendelson used to have the record last year at 875. Both have tried 1000+ but never has done it yet. Menelson tried 1003 twice at a competition in Iowa a couple of months ago and couldn't get it off his chest either.

[Billyspt4]

The world record for a bench without a bench shirt is 713. Maybe someone should tell Larry Allen so he can break the world record in addition to playing football

there was a guy at the gym where i work out that was a competative bench presser. he had to put 275 lbs on the bar just so it would touch his chest. and johan how do u know that allen character wont get close to 1000 with a shirt on? i simply brought up allen because they showed a video of him on our local news actually pressing the 700. my point is why the shirt? if they take them away guys would make a huge deal out of an 800lb bench.

In the April 2005 Muscle and fitness it says he did bench 1005 and is the 1st human to bench quadruple numbers

His record is 1005lbs

I dont really know too much about powerlifting. What exactly is a bench shirt and what exactly does it do?

[Billyspt4]

Sorry, you're right. I forgot that he broke it last Novemeber. It is 1005.

The bench shirt does allow you to get more weight, there's no doubt about that, but attempting 800+ pounds without it is near impossible just based on the stress your pecs, delts are getting. I mean there won't be a person that says it doesn't help out, but it's also used for safety and technique as well as improving your numbers.

I personally would rather own the 713 record without a shirt than 1005 with a shirt. The only reason I got into this thread was because of the negativity showed, he didn't get it up, that's fine, but still no need to disrepect someone because they didn't achieve something that no one else has done

[Evil Predator]

Yup, he did 1005. They said it before his attempt, he was trying to break his own record

[TheMudMan]

I find it amazing that someone could even hold that much weight.

[SHRED]

I bet if someone held a turkey by a fishing pole over his face, he woulda def put it up!

[diponyou]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

man that looked so funny,he culdnt even move it,it jus fell.man

[powerliftmike]

I wish I could see it, but its that damned window's media player plugin. I got linux so I guess im SOL. Hopefully my next PLUSA mag with have some info on it, i saw the video of him doing 1008 it was crazy.

[powerliftmike]

Very true. Some mutant from Sweden (Anderes Johannsen i think) got 1000lbs DL up to the knees. My forearms would just blowup (along with everything else )

[mass junkie]

Damn that is alot of weight..

props to him on the attempt..and also striving to go heavier

[MuckDog]

apparently he died shortly after that

[lucabratzi]

I dont really know too much about powerlifting. What exactly is a bench shirt and what exactly does it do?

yeah i'd like to know how this helps too.

[MASTER]

hes one crazy fvcker, most people wud be dead droppin that on em

[SMYL_GR8]

man its amazing what 10 little lbs will do..

It seemed like more of a technique problem. He didn't even get a chance to push the weight. I wonder if that would have just snapped my arm like a twig.

[decadbal]

it looks like he didnt try, or the wt went to far toward his waist, i cant bring 225 back sometimes if it starts forward from where the jackoff spotting me pushes it..

[kaorialfred]

dude he didn't move either after that, or at least that what the video show. Anyone notice some UFC fighters or wrestlers in the video in the audience?

[3Vandoo]

Hell I see some people who are not powerlifters here, before commenting or critizing him, try to do 1/4 of what he does, maybe we'll talk!

haters!

[The Massacre]

He got owned on the lift.

That dude looks retarded but I guess if he's the record holder I'll give him his props.

[G-1000]

[BARLOW]

stop bashin the man, all you haters will prolly never do that much in your life..... that had to facking hurt....

[G-1000]

i dont see why someone would wont to.

i dont hate i just think that is point less

[BARLOW]

not pointless to him.......you prolly do somethings i would think are pointless, like be here ><
