Gene competed primarily in federations such as the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), USPF (United States Powerlifting Federation), and USAPL (USA Powerlifting), where he won multiple world championships, numerous national titles, and set multiple world records across weight classes and age division.

He won at least six IPF Open World Championships, one IPF World Masters Championship, and numerous USPF and Masters titles, amassing over 20 world records during his career.

This workout was republished Apr/2002 from POWERLIFTINGUSA.

Bell’s training routine, particularly for benching and powerlifting, was structured around high volume and consistent year-round training.

His routine is valued by athletes because it emphasizes consistent stimulus through volume, focused preparation cycles, and a balance of strength and hypertrophy work, attributes that can contribute to improved bench press and overall powerlifting performance for intermediate to advanced lifters.
