History Was Made Today When Joe Mazza Of Nazareth Barbell, Benched More Than Any Other Man On The Planet Ever At The 165 Pound Weight Class.
After A Disasterous Trip To Orlando Last Weekend To Compete In The The Wpo Bench Bash, Which Was Stopped Short By Hurricane Jeanne, Joe Travelled Back To Pennsylvania, Worked A Full Week As A Police Officer And Showed Up At Gene Rychlak's Ipa Sanctioned Meet Put It All On The Line.
Joe Opened Conservatively With 580 Pounds. He Had A Bit Of Trouble Touching, But Shot The Weight Up. He Then Raised The Bar To 600, An Easy Up. Joe Called 608 For His Third Lift, This Would Exceed The Record Set The Previous Weekend By German Sensation Marcus Schick By 1 Pound. Joe Took The Hand Off, Brought The Bar Down Right Into The Support, As Coached By Mike Miller, Got The Press Call And Shot The Weight To Lockout Position. Because He Made All Three Of His Attempts, Joe Was Granted A Fourth. For This He Called 615 Pounds. Joe Got The Hand From Rychlak, Took The Bar Down Under Control, Shot It Up When He Got The Press Call And Held It Locked Out At Millers Command For A Five Count. It Was An Amazing Feat Of Power And Tenacity.
