Good for Gene......despite the criticism he takes, (and the criticism I am expecting in this very thread, lol) he keeps on doing what he does, working hard, and accomplishing special things.

Just curious, what criticism does he take?

 

[Adam07]

wow. That is impresive. He has been on top for along time. I know Mendy had the record right before this but gene held it with 1005 for quite some time

36drew.Most of the stuff I have heard that is criticism is about his shirt and about his weight.

Sweet Christ, I just googled this beast up. The article I read said he weighed in at 140 or 160 pounds during Freshman year of high school at 6 foot even. Wow. I wonder how many cows and chicken this man has eaten in his life time!

most criticism is about his shirt, and sometimes about his lockout, or lack there of. often times it looks as though he doesn't get the weight completely locked out, before he starts to rack the weight. but, if he gets 3 white lights, then who is to argue?

Yep, that's what I meant.....plus on a hugely commercial board like this, there is always at least 1 idiot who says he is "fat" or who feels they could bench 1,000 lbs in a shirt or with juice, you know.....the typical stuff, lol.

 

[Protobuilder]

I can't imagine what 1000 pounds feels like on your shoulder girdle. Absolutely ridiculous.

Should I start the equipment debate? LoL

 

[Cynical Simian]

Bunch of fat, juicing, equipment-dependent powerlifters in this thread.

 

[Smurfy]

I wonder if he's healthy? Like how is his physical conditioning? And is he willing to come over here, strap a Grand Piano to his back and carry it up a flight of stairs for me?
