I HATE those fuckin' bench shirts. Monumental shit-lifting.

He's the fat guy who attempted a massive bench at the 2005 Mr. O, and would up bombing and even injuring himself in the process........

OH, THAT porker! Haha that was funny.
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!
GIT-R-DONE!!!

i respect him for even getting under that kind of weight but i wouldn't want to look like him in a million years, fuccked up looking dude.

What's his best raw bench?

Coleman looks like 200 pds in that pic.

Not to mention the 35 ply carbon-reinforced steel supported "shirt" that has to be wrestled on to him with the help of 5 guys and a bucket of axel grease.

He's done 765 for a double in training, Mr Intenseone who posts here was spotting him.
-
big gene is dwarfing ronnie badly, but not jay.
-
gene's a fat man no doubt, but you can't deny that he's the strongest shirted bencher in the world, as well a tank. the guy's forearms are bigger around than probably 90% of getbigger's upper arms.
on the shirt debate, keep this in mind: scot mendelson has the raw record, and when he benches in a shirt so tight he needs over 1000 pounds to touch (there's a video of him being unable to get the bar down with 1031), he's still a few pounds behind gene.
by the way, the reason he always wears sunglasses is he's got eye problems that make him extremely light sensitive.

That's insane weight but what's his best raw bench in competition? Does he bench raw in any competitions?

i heard that gene's dad is blind and gene takes care of him.
i guess eye problems run in the family.

he could crack 800 intenseone posted on the training board.
-
all kidding aside he might be able to get 600 or maybe a teeny bit more raw.

That's the excuse I use too

Due to high pressured lard achieved with bench suit.

I was gonna say, who is the fagot grandpa...
-

True that.
My guess would be maybe 600 lbs.
Epic fat pressure in that shirt.
Gene Rychlak would probably be around 220 lbs if he decided to cut. Right now he's around 440 lbs.
An epic fatso.

c'mon hedge, i figured you'd have more sense than that. he's not the fattest guy out there, and his rom is pretty long. he's one of the most consistent benchers and can out-do people with 700-ish raw presses when they're all wearing APF-verified shirts.
the man is incredibly strong, and 220 cut? come on, have you ever benched in a shirt? it doesn't push the weight for you the whole time, just off the chest. your lockout strength has to be massive to move the kind of weight he does. not to mention the shoulders and back power.
i'd agree on the 600 raw, though. he doesn't train the bottom half, so why would it be that strong? there are guys who had a 500-ish raw bench, went shirted for a long time, then came back and 315 was a struggle because all of their power went into the top half.
let me also say that lifting equipped is harder than lifting raw. it just is. now, i don't mean lifting the same weights raw vs equipped, i mean maxing out. the pressure on your body and the kind of strain you go through getting maximal lifts geared up is just shattering. you max out raw on the bench and you'll be a little winded for a second. throw on a tight shirt and after a max-out you'll be seeing stars and likely have burst some blood vessels. it's an entirely different animal, and it gets even crazier when you talk a suited up squat complete with briefs and wraps.
-
he can bench over 1000 pounds with a shirt. and that still doesn't matter. he isn't dwarfing anyone. he is just morbidly obese. You can go into any McDonalds and find someone with his build.

Your saying his shirt adds more than 400 pounds to his bench? That would be nearly a 70% increase, that seems incredibly high.
-

Well, if he can't PULL 1,000 pounds down to his chest, what do you think it adds?

I would have guessed around 200 pounds but I have no idea.
If a shirt can add 70% to a bench then the whole situation is ridiculous. How could these powerlifting federations allow such bullschit?

There goes his credibility right there!

Because, if everyone is wearing the same kind of shirt what fucking difference does it make?
-
Frank Zane is huge!

Better yet, then why wear a shirt at all?
-

Same reason you wear a belt when you take a max deadlift attempt. Granted, they have taken it a little too far with the shirts.
-
I heard Gene can do slightly over 700 raw. Maybe 703 or something.
-

From what I've read in this thread he's not the strongest raw bencher so why is he the strongest shirted bencher? Apparently it's not all the same. Why the hell don't they just go raw?
-
Saw Gene Saturday. Looks a little leaner than in those pics. Dude is f'ing huge.
-
Big dude but who would want to look like him? :D
That's the question.
"Hope this helps"
-
Who's the porker? Epic Trevor Smith Syndrome!
;D ;D Cruel, but funny ;D
-
that guy also looks like a big fat ass
-
Shirted lifting is for douchebags.
Seriously.....what's the fucking point?
-
Fat gives a helluva illusion.

Wow. Fat and ugly. I'd rather look like David Spade.

His brother lifts at my gym, he is kinda weird... I have seen him train wearing baggy sweatpants, long sleeve flanel with sleeves rolled up half un tucked with snow boots on. He usually trains at night so I don't see him often since I open the gym in the morning.

You're right that is weird. He should be wearing spandex and a wifebeater and otomix boots.

True!
Do you think he could make a good figure of himself in WSM? Is he that functional?

...."owning Ronnie and J"?
WTF--nothing but respect for his lifting poundages but is he really owning anyone? I mean who would YOU rather look like Ronnie, Jay or chubzie ubzie ???

Yes. Apparently, being 400+ pounds of pure fat is enough to own the top two BBers in the world. Monster rationality.

If that's the case, Kamali owns Rychlak several times over.
-
So santa claus' kid is a power lifter
-

Assisted. Kamali does it weekly with his 10 training partners. :D
-
Gene would be a great case study for The True Adonis principles. would be good to see whats under all that fat. Much more interesting than that lame Tweeter guy.
-
What's his best raw bench?
supposed ly in the low 6's
-
Wow,Gene gets ripped for benching in a shirt.Do you people realise that ALL decent powerlifting feds allow shirts?Id be willing to bet that NOT ONE GUY here could bench 1005 no matter what you were wearing.In fact,99% of the guys' arms would shatter just holding that type of weight.Give the guy his due.Everyone wears a bench shirt,only Gene has done a legit 1000lb bench.

If it's true that his bench is in the 600's raw but his shirted bench is over 1000 don't you find it a little too much that a shirt would add 400 lbs. to his bench?
No one is saying the guy isn't insanely strong but what the hell is the point of an artificial device adding 400 lbs. to your total number? That's nearly 70%.

He looks like a wide HIPPO from the local Zoo standing next to greek statues like Cutler or coleman....hahaha

I read somewhere that Gene never benches more than 500 without a shirt. Some experts speculate he gets at least 440 from the shirt. I know he has missed 900 in the shirt because he couldn't get it to touch! It's that tight.
-

benches with a twist!
-
his gut is so huge he probably has a 2" range of motion when he benches.

that's a bit misleading, though. it only "adds" that much because his training doesn't focus on bottom end strength. i have no doubts if he was concentrating on raw all this time he'd have broken mendy's raw record by now.
if i get someone with a 405 raw bench into a shirt, chances are it'll be a long time before they can even get 500, no matter what kind of shirt it is. if i train that guy nonstop with bands, chains, and lockouts and get his top end strength high enough so he can bench 750 now, but his chest didn't get any stronger, that would leave him with a 405 raw bench and a 750 shirted.
so does that mean he gets 325 pounds from the shirt? of course not. remember at the beginning he wasn't getting even 100 pounds out of it because his triceps, shoulders, and likely lats weren't strong enough. the only way to "get" more out of the shirt is to "get" stronger in the areas most applicable to shirted benching. you dig?
it's really misleading when people read that so and so has a shirted bench 400 pounds over their raw because they think that a shirt can somehow add 400 pounds to the full ROM of the press when it's only the lower half. otherwise everyone with a 600 pound raw bench would be doing 1000+ in their shirts, but it's only two guys. not only that, but there are quite a few guys benching over 600 raw. kennelly, siders, nick winters, mendy, jeremy hoornstra spring to mind. out of them, only one has over 1000 pounds shirted (aside from gene himself).
nick's an even stranger case. he's going to break the raw record soon, probably going to be the first to get 800 raw. yet he doesn't get much of anything from a shirt. but if you listened to the message boards, he should be able to throw on a double ply denim and bench 1100.
