I'm very sad to bring the forum the news of Genes passing.
For those who dont know, Gene was the first to bench 900-1000-1000+ lbs.
He was also the founder and president of
RPS-Revolution Powerlifting Syndicate.
I was blessed in meeting the Bench Press God at a meet in which I was The platform manager and ill tell you He was a Magnificiant Gentle Giant.
Attached are photos I took with Gene who us one of my hero's as well as one with Him and Scott Mendalson from back when these two brought out the best in eachother. Scott went on to press I believe 1080lbs and us still active in power lifting and at times world championship armwrestling.
Cheers and respect.FB_IMG_1564350313743.jpg
