I really appreciate this channel and these two amazing men specifically. I'm 27 years old, and I actually hated lifting heavy weight because I was naturally a small guy, and knew I wasn't strong at all. I'm 5'4, and had never gotten over the weight of 145lbs until very recently. I couldn't even bench 185, and struggled with my own body weight on the bench. I had tried everything!! Protein shakes, casein, muscle pills, creatine, etc. and absolutely nothing worked for me. My metabolism was just too high and fast. I loved doing calisthenics and cardio though, to keep my run time really low for I'm a U.S. Army soldier. November 1, 2018, I had surgery on my right knee (knee replacement) due to a rather near death experience that shredded every ligament in my right knee. I was bed ridden for 4 months straight, because I literally couldn't walk for that long. You can only imagine how much pain I was in, both mentally and physically, and how depressed I was, from waking up every day, running for miles at a time, swimming countless laps, playing basketball, flag football, combatives for the Army, you name it, to absolutely nothing!!! I was at the lowest I had ever been. I was already a tiny man, and now immobile. My self esteem and dignity were fuckin destroyed. Scrolling thru KZbin, a video popped up from Julius Maddox lifting crazy weight, and it literally kicked started my mentality to stronger. I had my wife and best friend go to "Dicks Sporting" and buy the heaviest dumbbells they had. I started doing dumbbell presses in my bed everyday. I've always had a healthy diet, so I started getting bigger upper body wise. I was mind blown!! As soon as I was cleared from the bed, I wheellchair'ed my way to the gym with my buddy and started lifting real weight. Fast forward to today, I'm 174 lbs, bench pressing 325x1, and I've gained some strength back in my legs due to therapy, and just having the mindset of wanting to get healthy again. I really appreciate you guys for motivating me and giving me hope again!✊🏿✊🏿

Keep going strong brother! I am 55 and used to be in really good shape. I had spinal fusion surgery in 2017. It felt like I was freight trained afterwards. I have gained weight and lost strength and stamina. I don’t want to be a fat lump of clay, (I was at one time strong, solid and the stamina was at a top level). I know that I can’t wait to make a change but, I need that kick or spark back again. My self esteem like yours is in the crapper. I need to push through though. Thanks for sharing your story. Just as you are well on your way in recovery and building what you have never had before, I pray to have my own story of restoration to tell. Everything happens for a reason.🙏

Me: How much do you bench bro? Julius: More than you or anyone else ever will

[@JosephQPublic]

He seems far more humble than that...

[@reesmp98]

Joe Public but he literally could say that and it wouldn’t be lying 🌚👹

[@salocin3114]

@4 Scoops some guy actually did a 1000 lb "bench press" he was is so fat and has such short arms that it moved like one inch lol

[@impulsivereply9360]

Kirill sarychev had the record since 2016 it's like 738.6 or something he is 6,6 he has the hieght and bone density to do it like julius I just put my money on kirill just becuase of the size he looks alot leaner just because the hieght like julius said his health is in jeopardy at the wieght he is at so yeah kirill if he attempted the record just because the health of body frame

what a gentle guy, seems like a good man. you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.

[@davidvarnes7708]

It's that 0.6 lbs that makes the difference. I mean, ANYONE can do 739. But 739.6? Whooooo

[@diego_solis]

Well is not that difference... It's 739.6 because of the weights that didn't had those extra .4 pounds

He will smash it soon, he just did 700x3 in training

Technical you never stopped using (opiates), you just retrained your brain to release the endorphin high you got from lady Heroin. Now weight does the same thing. It's sex for some and gambling for others. It's all LEARNT behaviour. . .

Eddie, you're a humble man. To be that huge, that strong, and to be so willing to learn from someone who has a skill set foreign to you is impressive.

600KG deadlift... that look on Eddie’s face is priceless hahahahaha

[@scar4892]

32:21 is the time stamp for anyone who wanted to know

[@torstent8979]

Imagine how hilarious it would have been if he really were able to and didn't know that this was 100 kg above Eddie's world record. "Show me!" - *casually lifts 600 KG* "Damn. I'll be a boxer anyway." ^^

[@BOY_NAME_]

"he started lifting when I was worlds strongest man"

[@James_Edward59]

Had Julius started when he was young like most these guys did, he would probably hold the world record in Bench, Squat and Deadlift. I feel he has it in him to still do a super heavy deadlift if he starts training more for strongman comps.

[@andyruss78]

Maddox seems like a truly great lovely man. He's been through the shit he's done a great thing and helping kids out of trouble.

[@travisanderson6060]

"Do you breath? I don't think so. Me either never have. Do you do incline bench ? Never have but we can "

I'm pretty sure he meant for his training he doesnt do incline as part of his program. Not he has never done it before. You don't have to take everything so literally

He's actually about 6'1.5", but Eddie is very sensitive about his real height. He's still freakin' humungous otherwise so I don't get why he cares so much.

Generally, GENERALLY, strongman/powerlifting is very encouraging. It’s competitive, sure, but going to a meet is an awesome experience because everyone cheers everyone on. Assuming the competitors aren’t complete butts, though. It’s a really cool thing to experience.
