Nobody knows yet who is the man to beat. Gene Rychlak has made it clear he believes he's the best power repper. Kennelly has had problems with repping or so I hear. The bar goes up but starts sinking fast on Kennelly if the spotters don't grab it fast. It makes repping big weight too hard for him. Maybe that's why he tries to short stroke and bounce his reps. --Previous Message-- : Kennelly is a putz.

There may be some issues going on but bottom line is Ryan is the man to beat. To be the man you have to beat the man. I am glad to see all the focus on them three becuase I plan on sneaking on in on all three of them.
