Getbig Misc Discussion Boards / Powerlifting / Strongman / BenchMonster Kennelly wins Ukrainian All Stars with 1,036 pound bench!

Ryan Kennelly benched 1,036 pounds today at the WPO Stars of the Bench in the Ukraine. That gave Kennelly the win and the new All-Time Record in the bench press. Kennelly surpasses Gene Rychlak's 1,010 pound effort.
Rob Luyando benched 903 pounds which is a new All-Time Record in the 242 pound class, besting his own mark. Luyando hit his 850 pound opener, 881 pound second, and missed a 921 pound fourth attempt.
Scot Mendelson benched 986 pounds.
Da BenchMonster is da man!
Does this lift on a world class stage on the other side of the planet in a foreign country - he's the real deal all the way!

Your post seems to indicate that this is a raw meet.
If so, why does the distinguished gentleman on the poster look like he is wearing a Metal deadlift suit?
If he's not wearing a suit, thats the heaviest singlet I have ever seen.
Good luck with the turnout!
This show is the exclusive Olympia Expo Kings of the Bench qualifier (the pro in the photo is Matt Kroczaleski, a current King of the Bench (Silver, 2006.) This show also features deadlifting and squatting, so we wanted to use a pic that wasn't a bench photo (so at a glance readers knew that it was a powerlifting event.) I'm a fan of Ano Turtiainan's and of Elite FTS so I liked the idea of using one of their sponsored lifters. Thanks, Sean www.HardcorePowerlifting .com |

OK, I agree that hardly anyone will be readily remembered (unless someone's doing research or reading up on iron history) in the powerlifting/bodybuilding world. Schwarzenegger.......... Weider...........Hoffman .................Sandow. .............and you get the idea. I guess that the point I was trying to dramatically make is that jumping forth into the void that is eternity with a battle howl rather than the wheeze of a never was is glorious in a sense and that's basically what Kennelly's doing. It's tough for someone to grasp just how 24/7 Kennelly's power benching lifestyle is. The only example that comes to mind right now (I'm tired) is the immigrant who literally works two 40 hour jobs per week to send $ home to whomever and/or to save up for their move home. That person clocks in 10-12 hour shifts every single day their alive. Take those hours, add in the 8 hours of sleep you need to recover and you're looking at (minus travel time) about 3 hours a day to eat, clean up and then do whatever if there's time left. It's that life consuming at his level (I think that only Mendelson's there right now in the shirt benching game and I'm not even sure about that because I haven't been around Mendy in his day to day life.) Or a legit top contender in the UFC who has three 1-2 hour training sessions every day plus tries to at least work a part time job or teach marital arts classes during off hours. To be at the very top of an individual sport is crazee intense (now I'm thinking about that Ronnie Coleman DVD I watched and his round the clock eating and training and that's a good comparison too I guess only there isn't anywhere near the money in it for Kennelly as there is for Coleman so subtract the fancy cars, tailored clothes and brand new house.)
And Mendelson beat James Henderson. F drug tests. I've personally seen Kennelly drug tested by a very legitimate lab and he passed and that was in the last 2 years. If you can't beat a drug test then you came to the contest loaded to the gills. James Henderson is #2 on the all time biggest benchers list and Scot Mendelson is now #1. If Kennelly wants his place in history to last as long as their's then he needs to bench 700+ too without a bench shirt or else he's in the ranks (whether he should be or not) with all the shirt benchers who bench 800+ and that's quite a few with the ridiculous trampoline shirts they're allowing.

In a hundred (almost certainly less) nobody will give a shit what people lifted today. What you lift in life echoes for about a month until somebody lifts more than you.
People (very feew) still remember what guys lifted in the late 1800's/early 1900's because they were clean and didn't use any lifting aids.
I'm sure he's strong as an ox and I'm impressed by most powerlifters because they are crazy strong but nobody will remember his name in 10 years except for "that guy used to bleed out of his eyes."
I don't agree. Kennelly is the 1st guy to ever (shirt) bench 800 or more pounds. He's the 1st guy to ever repeat wins at the Arnold Classic and Mendelson Classic. What I do think he needs to do though, to secure his place in the all time benching hall of fame, is bench 700+ without a bench shirt. Only 2 lifters have ever done that, Kennelly's gone as high as 670 raw in the gym, but he needs to do that on a main stage and/or on TV to really lock in as being one of the very best. |

I love these guys. Their sole ambition in life is to take a ton of drugs and bench heavy weight for a 3" rep. I wish my life were that fulfilling sometimes. Simply Awesome!
Bro, Kennelly and I only work together on a business level, as my company produced his DVD, and we're not even friends anymore for a couple of reasons, but your comments reek of pussy wannabe syndrome. Kennelly is 6'1 and he's got average to long arms and he's not fat so the bar moves just as far or farther than most lifters when he benches. At the Animal Cage, without a bench shirt he benched 315x40 reps rull range of motion. He's also benched 600+ without a shirt on numerous occasions. In addition, he's been living the power benching lifestyle for over 10 years. We're talking 24/7/365 and pretty much without ever laying off. You are a piece of shit lifting wise compared to him and that's fine because every sport needs an audience. What you lift in life echoes in eternity. If Kennelly plays his cards right, people will remember his name for centuries and they'll look back and say that he was one of the best who ever was. He's already won the Arnold Classic 3 times and the Mendelson Classic twice in addition to his being the 1st man ever to shirt bench 800+ pounds. And you don't know anything about him personally so don't try and play therapist either Dr. Phil. |

I don't know what causes it. He wasn't sick.
Seanzilla is the benching guru - he would be able to explain how or why this happens.
Hey Isaac! Great photos. I'd love to use that one and some others if you want to team up with me on this magazine layout I'm working on (Because I'm going to the Arnold, I couldn't make it to the FitExpo this year so I need some hardcore pics like this!
When you're laying on your back and you take 800+ pounds out of the rack that, combined with having higher blood pressure from supplements, really boosts your PSI and your sinuses can burst open. It's not Kennelly's eyes that are bleeding, it's his sinuses. And, because they blow when he's laying on his back, it looks like the blood's coming from his eyes. Ryan was the largest he's ever been at this show (he weighed in at 320 something when he's normally around 290-308 so he really had his bloat on. He shirt benched 909 pounds so he was really pushing himself and probably getting ready for the Arnold Classic this weekend. People forget that he's been slowly increasing his bodyweight and his lifts consistantly for over 10 years in a row. This isn't some guy who got loaded up and was suddenly winning pro shows.
Isaac - Please email me about the pics, I'll get you some free ad space in trade for your website building business and we'll work on that as soon as I'm back from the Ahhhhhhhhhnold. www.HardcorePowerlifting .com |
