Plus Maddox doing it without elbow wrapping which definitely aids the bench

@tyresejones3535 look for everyone it's different but between 15-25kg on the conservative side so like 40-60 pounds

Joseph Tumbarello hit it too I think

[@Brey]

@@Automotib Yes he did! 7 people bench pressed 700 in competition and 2 people (Joshua Baker and Joseph Tumbarello) bench pressed 700 in the gym. (no I'm not counting Faker Zamani) Additionally, Andrey Smaev and Liu Rui have benched over 300kg/660lbs this year so they are in the running to bench 700 also!

Well, now we know that if Julius doesn’t get 800, the gym reaper just might 💪🏻

[@77_fat_4_momma]

He needs to eat alot more to bench 800lb... he needs to eat insane amounts of food like maddox.

[@ZachGatesHere]

Meaning no offense to him, keep in mind that eight people have hit 700, but no one has gotten within 50lb of Julius. The gulf between them is still pretty wide and progress slows immensely at this elite level.

[@Zmann86]

@@ZachGatesHere Julius is the only monster to have 700+ for REPS. The gulf is definitely very wide between him and the competition.

[@makaveli3]

@@StarzzyJJASD its impressive but take the wraps off and hes hitting 650 max

[@alexenache6942]

​@makaveli3 He'll definitely hit close to what he hit even without wraps, I bench with wraps and without and the difference is non existent, wraps maybe maybe give you a 10 pound max advantage other than that they more for protection against overuse of your elbow joint however in a strict sanctioning competition he won't be allowed to use both wraps and the belt, I feel he's still benching raw here just not super raw without the basic equipment.

[@alexenache6942]

​@@StarzzyJJASDIf he hit 720 last month or so that'll be weird considering how slow this 705 moved, it is impressive nonetheless but he's still miles away from beating at least Kyrill's record let alone Julius, I like Baker though he's got the potential to do it.
