1,000 pound Bench Press failure at Mr. Olympia

[thelion2005]

I watched the Mr. Olympia on PPV and looked forward to the 1,000 pound bench press attempt.

The guy comes out appearing very fierce and ready.

And fails.

The way that bar came down on the angle was scary.

I felt sorry for him. HHH tried to get the crowd to recognize how difficult this was and how brave the guy was .... and they all sat on their hands.

Fill me in please .... Who is the guy and what happened?

gene rychlek. his wrists got ahead of his elbows and the bar fell out of its groove. he didn't suffer any injuries and was spotted at the buffet the following day

 

[Micker]

Yeah, Gene already broke 1000, I think it was 1015 he was going for there.

 

[Throw2Far]

Ya the bar left the suits groove... what a joke...

After that heavy negative I can imagine he would need a spot at the buffet.

Yeah what a joke. That shows you how much the shirt helps. He should have been laughed off the stage. The shirt he uses doesn't even have a back to it. Like what's the point if it doesn't even resemble a real shirt. Uh, this odd contraption I'm wearing doesn't lift any of the weight for me, I just like to let my back breathe and walk around with my arms straight out like a zombie.

yea, everyonve knows that by wearing a shirt, a 135lb raw bencher can add 500lbs to his bench

When benchpress shirt helps 25-40% (or more) then it's gone way too fucking far. Have I ever heard audience laughing to this shirt clowing? No I have not, probably because the sport doesn't have any audience.

 

[Tweakle]

not too far from the truth, I know a 400lb bencher who puts up 700 in a shirt. THAT is a farce
