LOL, why would you judge a world record weight lift by whether or not it something that would occur in every day life...THAT'S WHY IT'S A WORLD RECORD...IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY. What a stupid thing to say.
Wow that's retarded. Not sure if you know this, but Ryan sort of does some amateur UFC stuff right now and has been training for it. He's rather well conditioned to fight. Also, he's strong enough so that one punch would either kill you or put you in a rather long coma.
Well he has fantastic strength and power, but UFC and all types of fighting are so much more than that and that's why Pudz lost to a much weaker guy. I hope Ryan can make a name for himself soon though, he's getting very old to be a newcomer to UFC.
Looks to me like his ass did leave the bench...... plus his grip is waaaaay more than 81cm wide.....add in the shirt as well..... sorry but I just dont rate this lift!
cut and paste from the accepted and recognised rules..... * The front of the bench must be placed on the platform facing the head referee. * The lifter must lie backward with shoulders and buttocks in contact with the flat bench surface.
Sorry mate but that lift is bogus! Outside the rules so it does not count unfortunately.
81 cm is between his index fingers. That means your index fingers have to be on the rings, and his were. No, his ass didn't leave the bench and there's no way you could have seen that as this angle. Both side judges saw that his ass DID NOT leave the bench and that's why this lift received 3 white lights. You must be new to powerlifting, but what YOU see leaving the bench is the back of his thighs...not his ass. When you clench your ass cheeks it lifts your pelvis up 3-4 inches, not your ass.
u dum guys he doesnt walk like this because hes so big (not only at least =P) he walks this way because of the benching shirt... it makes ur arms get tight..
I have a question maybe somebody has a good answer to. The question is WHY even have a world record with a bench shirt? Who even cares what the max someone can do is with assistance? I don't get it. I mean seriously, why don't we have records for the bench press record with a spot?? Do you guys get where I am going with this? If anyone has a good answer as to WHY they even do records with bench shirts I'd be interested to know.
dude that's what ive been saying. absolutely bullshit, and a big reason why powerlifting hasn't gained the recognition it should have by this point. RAW LIFTS...what else is there as a better test of strength?
This is equipped. A bench shirt can add 40% more than what the best bencher in the world can do without one on. The unequipped bench record is 715, the unequipped squat record is 953, and the unequipped deadlift record is like 940ish.
@HalifaxHercules Please read my comment again and understand why you're not educating me on the subject. I explained that "a bench shirt can add 40% more than what the best bencher in the world can do without one". The key word there is "CAN". Also, the amount that you get out of a shirt depends on how and how much you train in one, how well it's sized, and your ability to stay in the groove and touch with a very tight shirt. But I explained 40% because the vid we're watching is of a Phenom.
Also the numbers you stated are a bit off. The shirts of the big lifters are tailored to their dimensions with specific advantages that the average lifter who goes on inzer dot com and buys a rage x or phenom won't get. Features such as a beefed up neck can turn a comparatively crappy raw bencher such as Gene Rychlak into a shirted bench press monster. His best raw bench was 585 at the time he hit 1010 in 2006. You're correct that they're not created equal, I was explaining to a beginner.
ah my bad....I actually looked at the last 20-25 seconds about five times and you're right.
His arms look fully extended, it was that it looked
like he didn't get all the way to the rack, and when he got the handoff it looked like his arms were bent....probably a combination of the length of his arms versus the height of the rack and the fact that he was probably pressing it up a little lower down his chest that when he got the handoff.
Is it possible to lift this much weight without the aid of these so called lift shirts? I am a novice to this sport I cannot lift much but I sure love to watch these competitions.
No it's not. The record without a bench shirt is 715 pounds and there have been only two men in history to bench more than 700 pounds in competition without a bench shirt. The shirts can add 40% if you are experienced with them and train accordingly.
Guys that makes jokes about powerlifting gear are not powerlifters so say what you want, it will NEVER change the way I feel about how I live my life!
i hope the people complaining about bench shirts can do this, or beat ryan raw. or even be a big name in the lifting world. whats that? youre nobodies behind a computer? youre nothing but a skidstain on the underpants of the lifting world? let me remind you, he is ryan kennelly, you are not....have a nice day
Bench shirts are bullshit. The elastic resistance they give is tantamount to hooking a strong spring from the barbell to the ceiling. Why don't they just use a robot exoskeleton to bench 6000 lbs?
I laugh when I see videos with bench shirts. I mean I can't do this or even come close with or without the shirts, but they are a freaking joke. 30 years from now people are going to compete with robotic exoskeletons and the assisted bench record will be 2500 lbs. 715 FTW!
i'd like to see how much these "strong" guys can lift without all the freakin spandex junk. just gym shorts and a shirt and push the weight. its cheating in my eyes
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what are you talking about raw? look at all the spandex that works in his favor! tard! i said with out all that crap. read the comment closer next time dusche
Ok, first, tard. Watch his raw videos you dumb fuck. THIS is a shirted bench, I'm glad you can see that. But search Ryan Kennelly RAW and watch you ignorant fuck. If you're going to call someone a douche, at least learn to spell it. This is 1074 pounds. I said he benches 700+ RAW...he benches close to 1100 with a bench shirt on. Read MY comment closer faggot.
Depends on the rules. If everybody is breaking the rules everybody should be DQed
If you are in certain organizations in powerlifting you are not tested, so its not against the rules, so its fine.
Just like in the equipped division of powerlifting you are allowed to wear suits and shirts... as long as you are not having an unfair advantage over other competitors then it is fine.
Bench shirts and suits dont take away from lifting they add another dimension.The guys that are the best with the gear are also the best without it.Having the gear makes it harder to get to the top because now instead of just having the brute strength and muscle to complete the lift you have to train your CNS to handle all that weight and nobody would be strong enough to ever do that off their chest but halfway up the shirt starts making you lift, so now you allow people to dev. top end strength
Very few of the guys who are the best with gear are the best without it. Luyando, Frankl, and many others aren't that good raw. Hell, as much as I despise him, big Gene R. was amazing in gear and his best raw max was 585. Ryan and Mendy are exceptions to the rule. They're both insanely strong and that allows them to be good at both, but Scott doesn't have great shirted technique, just incredible brute strength and Kennelly is the one who truly has both.
I can see your point there. Yeah i know Gene, I have no problem with him, he has always been nice to me. Not everybody in gear is the best without it, but it does allow massive amounts of strength to be developed at certain points. I'm not familiar with Frankl's raw numbers, but just to train his CNS to be accomodated to the loads he can handle at his bodyweight is a feat.
(cont from previous) You allow people to have the chance to develop top end strength well beyond anything that could be achieved, and they are doing that part themselves. The shirt may help off the chest but not on the top end, so shirts allow this part of the press to be developed well beyond what would have ever been possible without shirts
Uh, that makes no sense. If the shirts don't help at the top, then they could develop huge top end strength using rack lockouts raw. They DO help out at the top to a certain extent though. If you're not getting any help in the upper 1/3 of your bench then the sleeves aren't on correctly or aren't the right size. I'm not here to come down on shirted benching...I posted this video anyway. I'm just here to say that the best raw are seldom the best shirted and vice versa.
how big are them weights... it looks like there is just a fat red weight and a fat black weight on each side. that would make it 250 a piece... am I seeing that right or are those seperate weights?
They're separate weights and that's sanctioned competition, the weights are very precisely weighed, there's no faking the lift there. This is the real deal.
Are you kidding me? Bench shirts help way too much, thats why the world record RAW is 715 lbs, and the world record with the shirt is 1074 lbs, that is over 300lbs difference! Its stupid because his muscles arent even lifting almost 400 lbs of that weight. Thats why steriods are different because its not some contraption you strap onto your body to make you stronger, steroids build your muscles up so that you can lift that weight with your muscles still, not some stupid shirt or suit.
A bench SHIRT you mean? And yes, they allow you to bench far more if you train correctly with them. An experienced shirted bencher can boost their raw bench by 40%.
Chris, you know as well as I do that it is ignorant to say that shirted benching is stupid. People Like Ryan and Scot are great both RAW and shirted, but I'm sure that James Henderson couldn't bench 900 in the shirt and Jeremy Hoornstra has even said that he can't even scratch near 800 in his.
That's not the point. Benching 1000+ is always impressive since only 3 people have done it, but I think super-gear nas led to the degradation of the sport wherein certain people (Rychlak, luyando etc.) only compete in gear. I know it offends many who like to use gear and I respect their preference, but I think that powerlifting should be just that, about power. It shouldn't be about mastering the leverage and mechanics of denim or canvas, it should be about lifting the most weight.
i agree and i wish steroids never existed because lifting is about using your own man strength and power, not pumping someone else's testosterone into your body.
yeah hes not going in for a career hes gunna just try to fuck people up iits not like hes gunna cut weight or do cardio do get in better fighting shape and drop his bench press because of it. i think its stupid and a risk of injury
No he is attempting to make this his career, he's already dropped down to 275 from a high of 340 last year. There's no money in benching so he is, as he told a friend of mine, "110% on MMA until there's any money in benching". he'll still lift obviously, but he's no longer competing in powerlifting unless someone puts up enough cash for it to be worth it.
yeah that's a good point. THere are lots of guys who juice in the UFC, but now there's no doubt at all that Kennelly does and even if he tests negative for anything you know he's been a very long time user and that drugs built him to what he is today. He's a great bencher, but it doesn't change the fact that he'll most likely be fighting some guys who've never used roids.
Hey, I'm just finding out from these posts now that he's considering an MMA career?? If he is juicing like you say, won't his strength dramatically drop once he goes off it?? He'll be a completely different guy by the time he gets in the octagon.
It's a sanctioned lift, there are three judges, no one's hands are on the bar, they all keep their hands visibly distanced from the bar or the lift would be fucked up and redlighted.
ufc? wow im guessing heavyweight.. im also gonna guess he has formal training and all, but wouldnt you say it would be difficult to move around with all them muscles? like i said im not trying to diss the man, just trying to understand where hes coming from..
Not really, he has spectacular punching power and that makes sense when you see how fast he throws up over 600 pounds raw. Hell he takes 405 and rockets it up like lightning off his chest for 20 reps as you can see in another video on youtube. He has been training for a few years now for this, but he's by no means the most experienced fighter out there, not even close. I guess we'll see what he can do.
Man so many YouTube experts. You would think with all this knowledge they would be breaking world records or something. Shut the fuck up people. Criteque someone that is doing something that you never will....that makes sense
What video were you watching, he brought it down to his chest, paused and pressed it perfectly back to lockout. Did you somehow skip the lift part of the video?
He deserves credit for lifting a weight no one else can lift, but I find it hard to get real impressed by a guy wearing a god-knows-how-many plys bench shirt, taking massive amounts of steroids, and moving the bar through a ridiculously short ROM. I guess that makes me a hater : (
I see your point, but there are hundreds of thousands of guys who bench with a shorter range of motion and use just as much steroids who can't get within 300 pounds of this no matter what shirt they wear. Aside of that, I think drugs, shirts, and belly benching are shitty and make a mockery of powerlifting.
Yes, Ludichris8531 is right, beside these people are stuffed full with steroids. I don't hate them, but they risk their own health and life for this output. Is it worth?
There wasn't anyone helping him with this. He benched the weight by himself. Do you mean perform the lift without a bench shirt? Well considering no one has ever benched over 715 without a bench shirt, 1075 raw would be basically humanly impossible.
My bench press on all accounts is rather pathetic, but I still cannot watch a shirted bench and be at all impressed. I can't imagine the pain and strain they feel under hell...500 plus, but to me the sport of powerlifting has turned into a mockery. That's why I have abandoned the sport for the more "pure" Strongman. No one cares about the fact I've got a RAW 600# squat & dead @ 220. Once someone hears of a 700# squat even if it is in a "Leviathan" then that automatically trumps mine... BS!
I agree that powerlifting should be raw to keep the sport pure and really show what kind of power people have rather than what kind of equipment they can utilize to get bigger numbers, but for now if I say that a million people will jump on me and tell me that I should let people lift how they want to lift and that there's a time and place for everything and blah blah blah. It's the same with steroids. I'm against using them to enhance your gains but many people use them and defend their use.
At 89 kgs I was squating 252 kgs for 12. I don't know what kind of max 1-rep that would be but I know I'm no where near as strong as those guys who squat 360 kgs +. It doesn't matter if I'm half of their weight, because strength is not a linear function of weight to lifting capacity. If it were, an elephant would be able to lift 40 times it's body weight rather than just 1/8th (comparing elephants to beetles) The fact remains that with extra strength comes extra muscle, which means higher weight
dudes i am tottally agianst that 2cm crap bench shirt fashion today but hehehe u guys should try holding 1074lbs in youre hands and then pressing it even 1 cm hahahaha then u can talk shit about how easy it is
It is a very tight shirt made of very strong material that stretches back as you lower the weight to your chest and stores elastic potential energy like pulling a rock back in a sling shot. It can add up to 40% to your raw max if you've done a lot of shirt training.

so then its perfectly fine for baseball players to use steroids cause everybody in the game now is using them?
watsup191 2 years ago
Depends on the rules. If everybody is breaking the rules everybody should be DQed
If you are in certain organizations in powerlifting you are not tested, so its not against the rules, so its fine.
Just like in the equipped division of powerlifting you are allowed to wear suits and shirts... as long as you are not having an unfair advantage over other competitors then it is fine.
SquirtTribePride 2 years ago
Bench shirts and suits dont take away from lifting they add another dimension.The guys that are the best with the gear are also the best without it.Having the gear makes it harder to get to the top because now instead of just having the brute strength and muscle to complete the lift you have to train your CNS to handle all that weight and nobody would be strong enough to ever do that off their chest but halfway up the shirt starts making you lift, so now you allow people to dev. top end strength
SquirtTribePride 2 years ago 2
Very few of the guys who are the best with gear are the best without it. Luyando, Frankl, and many others aren't that good raw. Hell, as much as I despise him, big Gene R. was amazing in gear and his best raw max was 585. Ryan and Mendy are exceptions to the rule. They're both insanely strong and that allows them to be good at both, but Scott doesn't have great shirted technique, just incredible brute strength and Kennelly is the one who truly has both.
Ludichris8531 2 years ago
I can see your point there. Yeah i know Gene, I have no problem with him, he has always been nice to me. Not everybody in gear is the best without it, but it does allow massive amounts of strength to be developed at certain points. I'm not familiar with Frankl's raw numbers, but just to train his CNS to be accomodated to the loads he can handle at his bodyweight is a feat.
SquirtTribePride 2 years ago
(cont from previous) You allow people to have the chance to develop top end strength well beyond anything that could be achieved, and they are doing that part themselves. The shirt may help off the chest but not on the top end, so shirts allow this part of the press to be developed well beyond what would have ever been possible without shirts
SquirtTribePride 2 years ago
Uh, that makes no sense. If the shirts don't help at the top, then they could develop huge top end strength using rack lockouts raw. They DO help out at the top to a certain extent though. If you're not getting any help in the upper 1/3 of your bench then the sleeves aren't on correctly or aren't the right size. I'm not here to come down on shirted benching...I posted this video anyway. I'm just here to say that the best raw are seldom the best shirted and vice versa.
Ludichris8531 2 years ago
True man. They rely on those helps and aids to much. He can bench 700 without it. #00= pound difference is terrible.

They're separate weights and that's sanctioned competition, the weights are very precisely weighed, there's no faking the lift there. This is the real deal.

Ludichris8531 2 years ago
your right but how no one cares but bench suits dont help tht much
browniemidget68 2 years ago
Are you kidding me? Bench shirts help way too much, thats why the world record RAW is 715 lbs, and the world record with the shirt is 1074 lbs, that is over 300lbs difference! Its stupid because his muscles arent even lifting almost 400 lbs of that weight. Thats why steriods are different because its not some contraption you strap onto your body to make you stronger, steroids build your muscles up so that you can lift that weight with your muscles still, not some stupid shirt or suit.
RJORRIS 2 years ago 3

BaboonBro 2 years ago
Hey I prefer steroids over bench shirts and squat suits, but I still wish steroids never existed...
RJORRIS 2 years ago
A bench SHIRT you mean? And yes, they allow you to bench far more if you train correctly with them. An experienced shirted bencher can boost their raw bench by 40%.
Ludichris8531 2 years ago
Chris, you know as well as I do that it is ignorant to say that shirted benching is stupid. People Like Ryan and Scot are great both RAW and shirted, but I'm sure that James Henderson couldn't bench 900 in the shirt and Jeremy Hoornstra has even said that he can't even scratch near 800 in his.
cyberkai99 2 years ago
That's not the point. Benching 1000+ is always impressive since only 3 people have done it, but I think super-gear nas led to the degradation of the sport wherein certain people (Rychlak, luyando etc.) only compete in gear. I know it offends many who like to use gear and I respect their preference, but I think that powerlifting should be just that, about power. It shouldn't be about mastering the leverage and mechanics of denim or canvas, it should be about lifting the most weight.
Ludichris8531 2 years ago
i agree and i wish steroids never existed because lifting is about using your own man strength and power, not pumping someone else's testosterone into your body.

glueissticky00 2 years ago
No he is attempting to make this his career, he's already dropped down to 275 from a high of 340 last year. There's no money in benching so he is, as he told a friend of mine, "110% on MMA until there's any money in benching". he'll still lift obviously, but he's no longer competing in powerlifting unless someone puts up enough cash for it to be worth it.
Ludichris8531 2 years ago
sucks when juicers show up and fight in the UFC cheap shit
glueissticky00 2 years ago
yeah that's a good point. THere are lots of guys who juice in the UFC, but now there's no doubt at all that Kennelly does and even if he tests negative for anything you know he's been a very long time user and that drugs built him to what he is today. He's a great bencher, but it doesn't change the fact that he'll most likely be fighting some guys who've never used roids.

Hey, I'm just finding out from these posts now that he's considering an MMA career?? If he is juicing like you say, won't his strength dramatically drop once he goes off it?? He'll be a completely different guy by the time he gets in the octagon.

johneykang 2 years ago
Not really, he has spectacular punching power and that makes sense when you see how fast he throws up over 600 pounds raw. Hell he takes 405 and rockets it up like lightning off his chest for 20 reps as you can see in another video on youtube. He has been training for a few years now for this, but he's by no means the most experienced fighter out there, not even close. I guess we'll see what he can do.

He deserves credit for lifting a weight no one else can lift, but I find it hard to get real impressed by a guy wearing a god-knows-how-many plys bench shirt, taking massive amounts of steroids, and moving the bar through a ridiculously short ROM. I guess that makes me a hater : (
lockdownD7 2 years ago 2
I see your point, but there are hundreds of thousands of guys who bench with a shorter range of motion and use just as much steroids who can't get within 300 pounds of this no matter what shirt they wear. Aside of that, I think drugs, shirts, and belly benching are shitty and make a mockery of powerlifting.

There wasn't anyone helping him with this. He benched the weight by himself. Do you mean perform the lift without a bench shirt? Well considering no one has ever benched over 715 without a bench shirt, 1075 raw would be basically humanly impossible.
Ludichris8531 3 years ago
My bench press on all accounts is rather pathetic, but I still cannot watch a shirted bench and be at all impressed. I can't imagine the pain and strain they feel under hell...500 plus, but to me the sport of powerlifting has turned into a mockery. That's why I have abandoned the sport for the more "pure" Strongman. No one cares about the fact I've got a RAW 600# squat & dead @ 220. Once someone hears of a 700# squat even if it is in a "Leviathan" then that automatically trumps mine... BS!
KinesitionChirossage 3 years ago
I agree that powerlifting should be raw to keep the sport pure and really show what kind of power people have rather than what kind of equipment they can utilize to get bigger numbers, but for now if I say that a million people will jump on me and tell me that I should let people lift how they want to lift and that there's a time and place for everything and blah blah blah. It's the same with steroids. I'm against using them to enhance your gains but many people use them and defend their use.
Ludichris8531 3 years ago
At 89 kgs I was squating 252 kgs for 12. I don't know what kind of max 1-rep that would be but I know I'm no where near as strong as those guys who squat 360 kgs +. It doesn't matter if I'm half of their weight, because strength is not a linear function of weight to lifting capacity. If it were, an elephant would be able to lift 40 times it's body weight rather than just 1/8th (comparing elephants to beetles) The fact remains that with extra strength comes extra muscle, which means higher weight

thefats9876 3 years ago
It is a very tight shirt made of very strong material that stretches back as you lower the weight to your chest and stores elastic potential energy like pulling a rock back in a sling shot. It can add up to 40% to your raw max if you've done a lot of shirt training.
