Жим штанги лёжа – мировой рекорд по этому Exercise today wants to install every powerlifter. And it should be noted, the goal of the athletes can be understood. After all, bench press is rightfully considered to be an unofficial indicator of strength in a sport like bodybuilding and powerlifting itself. Therefore, many people want to set a world record. The bench press is a very popular exercise. As a matter of fact, the first question that any athlete attending the gym hears is: "How much do you get from your chest?" It is not surprising that today there are already organized competitions for this exercise, and many athletes are preparing specifically for them.
Следует отметить, что сегодня в мире существует a huge number of federations for such a sport as powerlifting. And almost in each of these federations you can compete in the bench press separately. So it makes no sense to describe every world record set in the federations. Bench press, many athletes perform with dignity. However, some records should be given special attention.
The first record was the following result -487.6 kilograms. And put it an American named Ryan Kennelli. Interestingly, this guy became involved with the bar after he was kicked out of all sections and dropped out of school. The first time he pressed the bar, whose weight was 96 kg. This immediately became an indicator of his endowments in the "iron" sport. He was, of course, far from Jay Cutler, because he immediately began to press the barbell at 140 kg, but this is a very worthy result. So it is not surprising that the guy broke the world record at the time.
Жим лежа достойно выполнял спортсмен по имени Scott Mendelsohn. He performed this exercise without equipment with a barbell weighing 715 pounds (or 324.5 kg). Since childhood, this guy loved sports, but seriously began to engage in powerlifting only at 23 years old, and at 30 he began a competitive career. At one time this athlete broke the next world record: bench press in equipment. A few years ago, in 2007, Scott pressed 457.6 kg. However, Ryan was soon able to surpass his result.
Speaking on a topic such as world records in the presslying, it is impossible not to mention a few interesting facts regarding powerlifting. An 11-year-old girl from the Moscow region, who is a Russian athlete in the barbell bench press, in 2010, December 19, shocked everyone by setting an absolute world record in the category of “girls under 14 years old” in the competition for this exercise without equipment - she wrung out 60 kg. And this achievement is rightfully brought into the "Book of Records of Russia."
You should also pay attention to the absolutethe world record set by Brian Sayders in the IPF, while on the bench press is a barbell weighing 352.5 kg. I would like to mention another record. In 2011, at the World Championships, held in the United States, in the category of heavyweights, a guy named Victor Tescov was born in Ukraine. He is only 22 years old, but he stably sets records every year. And in this championship, Victor wrung out a barbell weighing 350 kg! Undoubtedly - the athlete is worthy of respect and the honorary title of champion.
