Impressive lifts, but was Gene's lift redlighted? I saw no pauses.

from the video genes bench looks good. strong lockout.

It didn't look like Gene paused at all. Mike was given a real long press command to it seemed. I'm not saying anything really. Just an observation.

i think the video of genes lift was his 1st attempt at 810 , but his second attempt was more than successful. paused and pressed up clean ....definately non-controversial...he has earned and is ( for now ) the holder of the strongest bench press ever.

whoops ...i just read the post about Mendy ... wow... what a weekend in powerlifting history !!

why did the first guy lower the bar so slowly? seems like a big wast of energy

You right it''s a hudge wawte of ATP.. But i used to take 11 seconds, I'm down to 5 so I'm getting better.
