many of these guys can do well over 700lbs raw in practise but dont enter raw meets unless that is the way they always lift.
once you start wearing a shirt it becomes much different to go for max weights without one.
Re: Rychlak benches 1010!
I wouldn't count him out. He claims to have hit 750 in the gym. Guys like Glen Chabot and Nick Winters have a serious shot at taking that unequipped record away from him. I think Mendy likes to be king of the hill and so he will definitely try to beat 1010 and he will definitely try to beat whoever tops his raw record.

Re: Rychlak benches 1010!
That's just sick. To imagine someone, gear or not, pushing over half a ton off their chest is just sick.

Not likely.
Or, as Scot would say:
NOT LIKELY.
