Dublin’s teenage Riley O’donnel set a world record with a £ 479.5 pound bench press.
Dublin, GA. -The typical sports story may be in the coat or field, but this started on the farm in central Georgia.
Riley O’donnel said, “I came to know that I would break the world record, but the only question was how much I would break.
O’Donnell is a 15 -year -old world record holder. He trains himself in a garage at home. Dublin’s space to support him.
But now, Odonnell has a larger crowd. The second grade of high school broke the TEEN 1 bench world record with a 479.5 pound lift.
“And the second I saw three white lights. I just seem to have been empty,” O’donnel said. “I don’t even remember doing some jumps in the air as I did in the video. But it was like an intense happiness.”
O’donnel began weightlifting from 7th grade to 65 pounds. Now he is bringing titles and hardware to Dublin.
O’Donnell said, “I feel really good to bring something too big to a humble village.”
His way to sports began to taste bitter. O’Donnell had to give up high school freshman soccer because of the concussion. Then he was trained to know his strengths.
O’donnel said, “At first, it is a little slower, but now we have a chance to focus on power lifting, as we quit soccer, and set a world record,” O’donnel said. “It’s a bit bitter, but now I don’t miss it too much.”
He delivers knowledge to other players like his nine -year -old brother, Greyson Jones. O’Donnell said that fans of sports are changing.
“And they’ll say they’ve started to lift and started exercising, and I’ve seen what I’ve been doing for years and I like to inspire people.”
O’donnel is preparing USA PowerLifting Bench Nationals in July.
