Julius is a great dude, but he already accomplished so much, so my heart doesn’t ache for him that bad. I probably want to see Ivan Makarov pull 500 whatever the most, the dude looks like he is dead after every set, he overtrains all the time and he has already had 2 failed world record attempts. I just want him to pull it and be done with it (it hopefully being lifting in general), but realistically he has a poor chance of getting that lift with such a reckless approach to training.

Just finished watching the attempt. It came off your chest like nothing. From the bottom portion and chest end you're more than strong enough to lift that 800lbs. A good lockout the day of is all you'll need, and I'm sure you're strong enough to get that. Best of luck on the 800 man. Believe in yourself, you've got this! No one in history has ever been closer!

You ain't letting us down when you fail a lift, big man. You'd only let people down if you'd pack the bags and quit for no good reason!

@Iaoj He plans to cut weight once he hits 800 and tbh it needs to happen. Between using PEDs and being this fat and heavy he can't maintain this state for long. However I don't think this reason would compell him they are plenty of people who are willing to die for a number. Eddie Hall was willing to die for his 500kg deadlift and WSM title. If I was genetically capable of what Julius is I would also take my chances with death.

@gravemind6536

2 жыл бұрын

@Iaoj It doesn't make sense and its not fair but its genetics. Some people can be healthy as fuck with poor genetics and drop dead at 50 whilst guys with great genetics can treat their body like shit and live to 80. I went to school with a mate who's Mum died when he was 10 I felt so sorry for the poor dude she was the healiest person in the village and died at 41 in fact I never stopped feeling sorry for the guy. I have decent genetics for living long and durability but not to extreme extent that you mentioned with the 450kg dude of course. I think Julius could easily live a long life at 350-400lbs. Don't let his build decieve you he is quite tall Larry Wheels is 6ft 1 Julius is probably 6ft 3 or 6ft 4. As for how much your willing to sacrifice thats individual lifting is Julius Maddoxs entire life he has insane dedication to it. Before this Julius was a class A drug addict and now he is addicted to this instead he clearly has an addictive personality and this is better than the alternative were it not for lifting he would probably already be dead just for perspective so in a way this mission already saved his life. Whilst there is no real prize money the actual money comes from fame and sponsorships. All bodybuilders, powerlifters and strongmen would be bankrupt if they depended on prize the money covers the cost of prep thats it.

Amazing....Bro. keep working!

Stay strong big man, You have this all day long!

Julius, total respect man. You are in uncharted territory of human capability. 800 is gonna happen.

Going back and comparing the 790 attempt to the successful one prior to that, there is an absolute difference in the flaring of your arms (elbows). It looks (to my untrained eye) as if the lats weren't engaged throughout the whole lift (on the 790 attempt). Know that we are all here cheering you on. Even when you fail an attempt, I'm motivated by your drive to always improve! We'll be praying and cheering for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

782 lb raw bench press is already equally as amazing as a 500 plus kilo equipped deadlift. 800 will be even more historic than your last world record. 💪

You are the champ bro. You will do it. Matter of time don't worry.

Your a HERO big brother. Stay mentally strong 🙏

You will get there big man :D

U got it bro I believe in u

nice to see julius giving advice. He's not just setting a bench record, he's learning how to bench perfectly and teaching younger guys like larry wheels the ropes. big ups!

It’s not easy to get up from a missed bench attempt, no matter how much weight it is. I know that feeling so well lol. And this is literally the heaviest in raw history. Even after a miss, Julius is full of honesty and words of encouragement. We believe in you champ, and you will definitely smash 800.

Let's go Julius!!!!!!!!! You got this shit!!!!!! Don't let this hurdle bother you. You're still in the race! TEAM IRREGULAR STRENGTH!

Seems to me that if you focused at the end of the workouts on doing some board presses and heavy lockouts, you will definitely hit that number easy. Amazing how you have been breaking record after record. I also like the way you channel your strength from your legs and you give a slight boost to the weight to get it off the chest. I have been practicing this and has helped me immensely with my paused reps!
