I think he was wearing sunglasses.. and it was IPA

 

[Tiervexx]

why did the first guy lower the bar so slowly? seems like a big wast of energy

 

[BigWh1tey]

he was wearing sunglasses , and Miller was at 815 not 805. He brings it down slow to stay in his groove.

 

[IronLion]

did rychecks lift count I couldn't tell if he paused at all?

I can't imagine what 800 pounds feels like off the rack....jeez

Gene's bench was turned down..... irongame.net

 

[Liftbig]

wrong meet, rev he had an 802 turned down at a meet around amonth ago, but this weekend was different.

 

[Liftbig]

lol, i guess april 19 is a little more than a month ago. but still two different meets.

 

[BigWh1tey]

gene made 2 attempts at 810 , the first one was red lighted, on his 4th attempt he did a textbook bench.

 

[Powerlifter-148]

bigwhitey, were you there?

 

[BigWh1tey]

yup

 

[Powerlifter-148]

Maybe i saw you there, who knows

 

[WarriorPL]

Impressive lifts, but was Gene's lift redlighted? I saw no pauses.

 

[Liftbig]

from the video genes bench looks good. strong lockout.

It didn't look like Gene paused at all. Mike was given a real long press command to it seemed. I'm not saying anything really. Just an observation.

 

[BigWh1tey]

i think the video of genes lift was his 1st attempt at 810 , but his second attempt was more than successful. paused and pressed up clean ....definately non-controversial...he has earned and is ( for now ) the holder of the strongest bench press ever.

whoops ...i just read the post about Mendy ... wow... what a weekend in powerlifting history !!

You right it''s a hudge wawte of ATP.. But i used to take 11 seconds, I'm down to 5 so I'm getting better.

 

[Powerlifter-148]

i think the video of genes lift was his 1st attempt at 810

nah, its definately the 2nd attempt

 

[BigWh1tey]

weird angle then .... the lift was beyond reproach...
