The Best to Ever Bench Press-

Jennifer Thompson graces the bench press again this weekend. After going viral in front of millions of viewers on Bleacher Report and other main stream media outlets, Jen takes her legendary talent to the Rogue Strength Stage for the Pro Raw Bench Press. The greatest bencher of all time, Jen is also going to shoot for a new Open World Record bench press as she always does. On a hot streak, I think we are in store for a new IPF World Record and viral performance. 

Jennifer Thompson, (USA, -63kg is quite simply the best raw bench presser, male or female, that has ever lifted in the IPF. She recently benched 144kg/317lb as a lightweight -72kg lifter at the Reykjavik International Games with plenty to spare. She’s nominated in the -63kg class for the Arnold hoping to extend her own single-lift bench press WR currently at 141.5kg/311lb set in Killeen 2016. Thompson will turn 44 this year and keeps getting better and better, an outstanding woman.

Heavy D is here-

2nd only to Jen Thompson in terms of Raw Bench Press wilks, Dennis Cieri has a historic career in both equipped bench press and raw bench press. “Heavy D” will put on a show for all of us again this weekend and don his hot pink custom embroidered bath robe so that we all know when he is up to lift. This 200lb Phenom will out bench most of the big guys with over 500lbs in his hands each lift. He may even try for the Open 93kg World Record. Load the bar, Heavy D is ready folks.
