    Gene Rychlak is the man... afunny looking man, but none the less the man. I am sure his bench is still impressive even without a shirt...

    I think mid 700's without the shirt. And that should be reason enough to outlaw them from powerlifting!

    @%$@#@ Bench shirts!

    totally agree with you.. there have been raw benches in the high 700's.. which make them better than gene if you're right about his raw bench.

    Dude looks like he's wearing an exoskeleton. He can barely even walk with that thing on! How's that legit? (not that I could even approach half that weight)

    Very impressive.
    But the shirts are BS. Why don't they just let them use the cargo loader from "Aliens" that she used to kick the ass of the head alien??
    No shirts, or it's crap.

    I compete with a shirt but I agree it's getting out of hand. It's no longer about who is stronger, it's about who is better at using their equipment. I use equipment because I like to compete, and all the raw federations are drug tested, and I won't compete in a drug free organization because it's unfair to the other natural lifters.

    I think the biggest official raw bench in a meet was Scot Mendelson's 722. He benched 876 in a shirt.

    By the way Gene's shirt is so tight that it takes him 45 minutes to get it on. Takes me about 30 seconds to put mine on. After he did that lift, he laid down in the warmup area with icepacks tied to his triceps because the shirt had cut his arms open. I'm not taking anything away from him because he's on another level when it comes to shirt benching, but it is kind of getting out of hand.

    Did you guys hear that the best all time squat is now 1200. That's some impressive weight but you'd still think it would be a lot higher than the best bench. The shirt and squat suits help alot, but still 1/2 a ton would break my wrists for sure.

    Meat: You get your shirt on in 30 seconds? What kind do you use? It still takes me about 10 min with my single open back denim, and it takes forever with a poly. Have you seen Gene's arms in some of his adds, they're all scarred where the shirt cuts into his arms.

    I use the black inzer open back denim. Shirts don't need to be super tight. You need to be able to manipulate them. You can wear them high so you can touch weight, and when you go for something heavy you pull it down in the front.

    Bro I've seen his arms in person. They're open sores.

    The guy didnt bench 600 lbs 5 yrs ago. He lifted at my gym in Pa. Hes gases out of his mine, and a total ****ing idiot. He takes off the shirt....or should i say shirts.....and he is lucky to pull 700lbs.....and thats the truth....bc ive seen it.........plus he might only have to take the bar down 10inches bc hes so f*****fat

    Im not into powerlifting, but have always wondered exactly how the shirt helps them....is it mainly for support? I guess its also helps when they have a big barrel chest and short lil stubby arms.

    I'd bet a million dollars that Big Gene can't hit 700+ raw.
    Only 2 people have:
    James Henderson--711
    Scott Mendelson--713

    Gene's shirt is ridiculous, even by powerlifting standards.

    if this is true... then the shirt is pushing 300 lbs at least... thats some strong a$$ fabric... almost as strong as i am......

    I hate shirts, I hit 550 for two raw, and I would rather have a 550 solid bench than a 1000 lbs shirted bench. I know its part of the sport, but adding 300 or so lbs to your bench is ridiculous, and takes the power out of powerlifting.

    My second link won't work because f u c k is part of the file name and the site bleeps it out. If you want to see it, copy and paste the link in your browser, then change the asterisks to the f word.

    i guess his legs look skinny compared to his upper body or something, or maybe i saw them in a bad light...


    the second site with the "f word" doesnt work when you change the ast. to the f word by the way... i think the "..." after "scot" is messed up

    I give up. If I keep trying to figure it out I'll get frustrated and something around the house will get broken.
