Ryan Kennelly Bench Presses World Record 1,050 LBS
READ MORE:


This should wake you up quickly. Ryan Kennelly on December 1st apparently put up 1,050 pounds. That's a comma, not a period. That's like a Gilbert Brown hanging onto both ends of the bar. That's like 1,000 more than me.

In case this inspires you to be a tremendous bench presser, Ryan has his own book called "The Kennelly Method."
"I had one final attempt at the benchpress that day and the crowd knew what I was going for. The loaders piled on iron plate after iron plate, the stage was set, and the roar of the crowd built like a tidal wave careening onto the shoreline. I walked out onto the stage, almost in a trance, my eyes dilated and my pulse pounding in my ears. I set up on the bench and looked at the bar on the rack above me. The spotters handed the weight off to me, my hands squeezed the knurling, and I began the descent downwards, feeling the insane load dropping to my chest. The bar paused and I fully came to realize just how heavy this burden was. I could no longer hear the crowd and the world around me seemed to simply drift. "Press!" the judge commanded and every fiber in my body pushed against that weight. The bar came off my chest like a rocket, my muscles coursing with burning flames. My triceps and shoulders fired on all cylinders, forcing my arms to lockout and the lift was mine! I HAD JUST BENCHPRESSED 800.5 POUNDS! What was formerly thought of as impossible, had just been done."
Riveting. I wonder if the second chapter is about his weekend with Barry Bonds.

Wow, this is off the charts on the unintentional comedy scale!  The video is awesome (I love the 'brothers gotta hug' moment), but then I read the exerpt from his book.  Pure genius!!
