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

those damn bench shirts are a joke. it looks like rigormortis has set in.
Ripped, not bulky
retarted. simply retarted.

???? 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.
Anabolic Member
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.
Retired: AR-Hall of Famer
But put a bench shirt on that allen character and he wont bench press 1015ibs so obviously Rychlak is stronger
AR's Midget Beater
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.
Associate Member
He was going to be the first man to bench over 1000lbs....which means no one else has ever done that
AR's Midget Beater
Yea, but he didn't do it so what's your point.
Retired: AR-Hall of Famer
he has benched 1005ibs if Im not misstake. This was just his attempt to break his own world record.
Associate Member
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

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.
Retired: AR-Hall of Famer
like billy said its mostly for safety. Il rather se shirts and 1000ibs benched than faild atempts at 800 and ruined shoulders.
and you cant just pull a shirt on and bench 300 more ibs. It takes alot of practice to bench with a shirt thats why I say allen cant put one on and bench 1000ibs.

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

man its amazing what 10 little lbs will do..
Senior Member
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.
Associate Member
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.
Anabolic Member
In the April 2005 Muscle and fitness it says he did bench 1005 and is the 1st human to bench quadruple numbers
Retired~ AR-Hall of Famer
His record is 1005lbs
Associate Member
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
Member
I dont really know too much about powerlifting. What exactly is a bench shirt and what exactly does it do?
Anabolic Member
yeah i'd like to know how this helps too.
Associate Member
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
Anabolic Member
you're also wrong about the raw record. medelson owns it wih 735 if i remember correctly.
Associate Member
I was thinking it was higher than 713, but I couldn't find anything that said otherwise. I am not sure, but either way, it's still more weight than I'll ever do or think of doing.

You are 100% corect Bro.
As far as I'm concerned the only world record for bench press stands at 735 lbs. The bench shirt records don't mean squat to me and are killing the sport of powerlifting.
Senior Member
Yup, he did 1005. They said it before his attempt, he was trying to break his own record
Senior Member
Yep, he did it. Here is some pics
Retired~ AR-Hall of Famer
I find it amazing that someone could even hold that much weight.
~Elite AR-Hall of Famer~
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)

Damn that is alot of weight..
props to him on the attempt..and also striving to go heavier
Associate Member
He didn't, which makes the poor guy so pathetic. I sure as hell wouldn't go on TV and attempt this without having done it before, he just made an ass out of himself I think... I don't mean to sound too harsh, but those "shirts" are pathetic, if they want to impress me, bench 700lb with no shirt... otherwise get real and get a life.
Retired~ AR-Hall of Famer
Ummmmmm yes he did hold the weight......
Retired: AR-Hall of Famer
Calling the world strongest bencher pathetic is a bit over the top. Im sure hes not doing it to impress you
He probably wanted to do it on tv to get the extra boost. Just like most pr's are broken on meets.
