Gene Rychlak just hit a massive 885 bench at the apf steel city clasic in PA. Who would have thought with Mendy raising the bar so high that his number would be bettered so soon. amazing...but mendy and chabot are still my favorites...
Gene is strong mo-fo. He has hit a few bench sessions at Naz and is a very very explosive lifter, the speed he moves heavy weights is really impressive. I know he has made attempts at his last several meets with weights in the 850+ range and It is great to see the his hard work and dedication has paid off.
