Nice benching, Richie!

Richie... great meet. good clean lifts.

Great job Richie, and all of the BIG lifters! One of their female lifters went 12 for 12....she did the bench only in the morning (3 for 3), and then went 9 for 9 in the full power. And set ARs along the way....crazy!

Wow! Nice benching!

THAT ON SEXY HUNK OF MAN!!!

Congrats again bro!! Each lift got easier as the weight went up!!! juicy hairy gorilla!!

lol

great to meet you Richie and awesome lifting. truely the best junior bencher in the world.

great job richie

Uh, just a question, why does the spotter on Richie's right side, keep the weight embedded in his chest through out the entire lift?

Kid is definitely strong, but in most federations, once the lifter has control of the weight, USUALLY, the spotters are required to take their hands and bodies off the iron - aren't they???

i dunno which lift ur talkin about, but the guy on the right isnt even close to weight, if u mean your OTHER right, which in every federation thats your left, thats rick and hes spotting the weight i guarntee hes not touching it.

i think the most amazing thing is benching on a bench that sits so low.... how do tall lifters do that and get any leg drive without raising there ass?

these are some of the dumbest posts I've ever read on here.

He has a huge arch for a guy his size. Great job! It looks like the head judge did a good job making sure the weight was locked out and held too. Of course, people only notice judging if it's bad, haha.

they made him hold it way longer than needed... great lift
club face!

He got a crazy arch and when you are not requried to have your feet flat on the ground, you can angle them to get maximum leg drive. Flat feet absolutely kills my bench.

Wow....Held at the bottom, and at lockout.....Great liftn!!!!

Definitely a helluva arch. Great lifting, congratulations.

Man Richie, you have impecable form! So consistent as well. Awesome work!!

I hear he works only chest all the time. He does heavy cable flys to increase the size of his upper pecs. No other body parts are trained. He tans twice a day and does manscaping to maintain that sleak appearance of a hairless body. He maintains that jacked and tan physique with the Michael Cartinian bodybuilding diet and Guiness.
Richie is also like Michael Jordan he is sponsered by hanes underwear. Richie does work though he is an "entertainer" locally in Omaha. Just a boy hairy, strong and very short range of motion. He is not juiced up just high on life.

Close. Richie's workout regimen consists mainly of explosive exercises: power cleans, power curls, power squat thrusts, explosive pec flyes, explosive dynamic bench off of foam blocks, and explosive max effort bench off of midgets holding foam blocks. In his free time, he can be found on stage at Shakers, a local dive strip bar, earning money the only way he knows how. Richie doesn't need to manscape: he's been the world's first hairless gorilla from birth. Richie takes advice on all aspects of life from his coach Michael Cartinian: including how to execute and maintain a proper chokehold, the proper way to cut and serve a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and the execution of the perfect dutch oven.

Strong dude and a huge bench...but come on 9 spotters is a little much...tough on spectators and judges.

not only has Cartinian taken him on as his personal life coach and soulmate, but he is also burgeoning into a cross-training regimen heavy in tennis, because this is what lead to Cartinians great physical speciminity in his pre powerlifting days...

I heard that Cartinian is so powerful that he doesn't do push ups, he pushes the planet away from him. I also heard that he doesn't dare throw a punch because the sheer power will cause the atmosphere of the planet to burst into flames. Thanks for the restraint Mike!!!

I heard that cartinian was offered a PhD in powerlifting from Louis Simmons, but refused and instead received a PhD in aerobics from Richard Simmons because he diversified his fitness portfolio...

9 spotters isn't enough when Cartinian lifts weights. If you think that was nonsense, Cartinian did squats last week with 9 spotters per side to handle his set of 700 for 35 reps... I saw it, its true... it was a downset!!!

I heard that Cartinian once bet a waitress that he could eat four 72oz. steaks in an hour. He finished the steaks in fifteen minutes and spent the next 45 railing the waitress.

That must be that Lorenzo guy Rick is always talking about.

I heard that Cartinian once went to a rave where he beat up Mickey mouse and Stevo from jackass' bodyguard. Afterwards Walt disney hired him to not only write and illustrate the classic cartoon Alladin but to also be the voice of all the characters. He was the first person to do all of this EVER.

I heard that Cartinian ran for governor of California. But he lost a close race to Arnold. Things turned out good though James Cameron from the Terminator series decided to make a new movie featuring Mike as the Terminator. To save money the used the clothes and the motorcycle from the Hasbro toy line so the could spend more on the rest of the movie. They said he is having trouble saying the lines. "I'll be back Bro"

I heard that the Boogieman checks his closet for Cartinian before he goes to bed. Then when Mike gets home from scaring the crap out of Boogieman he inturn has to check his closet for Shawn Frankl.
