Gene Rychlak hit a 1005 lbs bench press.

Actually, I heard it was 2 ply. To insinuate that Gene is the only person in powerlifting who holds a record that is on AS is insane.

1005 lbs is 1005 lbs......just like Mike Miller's 1200lbs squat. Congratulate them, don't try and discredit what they do.

well i kno people who kno him!! it was a 4 ply. and i can say what i want about them cuz i dont use a shirt peopel who use shirts are liers cuz i doubt he can do anything over 700 raw!!!!!!!

I respect anyone who would unrack that type of weight, i could give 2 shits if they are wearing a hydraulic press on their chest, 1005 lbs is 1005lbs.... much props to him.

also, hitting anything close to 700 raw is awesome as well.

arguing over shirts is like telling tiger woods he has to tie a rock to the end of a stick and go win the pga tour...give respect where its due. you don't see just anyone go buy a shirt and instantly break records.

Hard to see the lockout.

Why was there such a long pause at the top to end the lift?
