Ryan Kennelly

Ryan Kennelly is an American powerlifter. As of April 12th, 2008, Kennelly holds the World Powerlifting Organization world record in the assisted bench press with a lift of 1070 lbs (486 kg) during the American Powerlifting Association Open Iron War held in Kennewick. [cite web | title = APA Northwest Iron War| url = http://www.apa-wpa.com/2008NorthwestIronWarResults.htm | publisher = American Powerlifting Association | accessdate = 2008-08-08 | date = 2008-04-12 | last = Taylor | first = Scott ] This world record is classified as an assisted, or "geared" world record, meaning the lift is completed with the aid of a bench shirt.

Kennelly is 6 feet, 2 inches tall, making him one of the tallest powerlifters in active competition. [cite web | title = World Record Bench Press| url = http://www.build-muscle-and-burn-fat.com/world-record-bench-press.html | accessdate = 2008-08-08 ]

In addition to his world record efforts, Kennelly holds the claim as the first man to bench press 800 pounds. Kennelly trains as often as 10 times in a week and hits some type of bench press training 7-8 times a week. Kennelly began lifting with his legs only because his bench had plateaued due to a weaker lower body. Ryan has had as much as 1300 lbs on the bar for a bench (5 board press failed).
