Gene is the man of the decade. 1st to get 900 and a grand within a years time almost to the exact date!!! What is interesting about this is that he did it in the same state on the same road almost exactly 50 miles apart. He hit more mile stones than any of the other guys on the list. Granted the other lifters are great and deserve a lot of respect but did they hit 2 major milestones? Gene has.

Hillarious that Mendy has so few votes. He was one of the first over 800, 900, and 1000, with a CLEAN 1025. All the while benching over 700 raw on multiple occasions, including the biggest raw bench ever. Am I saying he's the only choice, NO... But to have that few votes is just crazy.

Not to mention the aspect of drug testing of all winners - as well as some out of meet testing. For whatever reason, Mendelson didn't try his luck there. And Sandvik won in the IPF - not once. But 5 times. That's a pretty solid argument for Sandvik being the top bencher over a long period of time. Maybe not in one particular year. But over the decade as a whole - nobody rivals Sandvik.

Kenta is a worthy winner. His track record speaks for itself. He has been at the top for so many years and also won the WC 5 times. Unbeatable.
