BACK TO THE BASICS! || 500 LBS REP SETS || IRREGULAR STRENGTH || GYM MOTIVATION || MUST WATCH!!

[@kosbalt7802]

800lbs are definetely coming man!!! You are a huge inspiration for me and one of the hardest workers on the planet!!

[@nodabot]

Come on guys like and share the video. Let’s help him grow his channel even more. Look at the way this man carries himself. He is a kind, very well spoken, extremely intelligent man of God. I don’t know if he has ever addressed the role model subject or not but I have followed him for a very long time and I can assure u that he prioritizes setting a good example for kids.

[@irregularstrength]

Thanks bro

[@KillianDefaoite]

Julius you are an inspiration. Patience is a virtue. Ivan Makarov is strong and I think fully capable of breaking the deadlift WR, but he was too impatient and rushed his buildup process to the record attempt and failed it. You have time now julius. Take a step back, assess what things you really need to improve. 800 is within your reach.

[@NickWright]

That’s a bad ass opportunity!

Anyone saying julius can’t hit 800 is crazy, it’s not even that far off of a goal

[@Buckdodgers]

He would have had it if they loaded the bar properly at that meet.

[@vincentreyes7534]

Haters cause they cant do what he can do. They should be looking at him as motivation and inspiration

@@kingwillie206 I just want to inspire

[@kingwillie206]

@@irregularstrength - I was on a powerlifting team with Andrew “Bull” Stewart back in the day and you inspired me to build a gym in my garage and start training again. My son is 6 and he says “daddy that’s the Hulk” when we watch your videos and train. He did his first pull-up last month and aced the monkey bars afterwards because of you. Your journey has just begun and you have already inspired thousands at the very least. When it’s all said and done your name there will be a monument built in your honor. I never thought a human being would ever rep 700lbs in my lifetime. Truly incredible my man. I see books, training programs, and even a movie coming down the road. I want to see that road to 800 documentary on Netflix after you smash it.

[@10ktube]

The official date of this is far enough out you'll already have an 800x3 video out. You got this.

[@squatsgutsandglory6440]

It’s going to stink having to wait 7 months to watch you smash the 800 barrier. YHVH bless you with health and strength my friend. Also, it’s good to see the Jiu-Jitsu master back on the handoffs.

[@paulduffy4738]

Smart move, you cant stay at peak strenth and hitting max gym reps once or twice a month. That's the best way to plateau or get hurt. 8 hundo, I have been around and competing for 30 years, never thought it would be possible. I feel you are our first and only chance for a raw 800 for the next 20-30 years. Best of luck!!!!! 800 at Wrigley field, I'm gonna start saving my money now, I gotta see it live!!

[@nathansilver9190]

Julius.... You're awesome. I'm so inspired by you. Thanks my friend, I wish you the best on your journey. I'll be praying for you.

[@outlandonish3480]

Super excited for you. I love that you are doing something new that is above and beyond what you used to do. A little sad you didn't do a 775 bench just to say yeah I am stronger. This long period of time I don't see as a negative maybe something bad could happen if you didn't have this amazing diet and training plan but you do so get it. If there was ever a way to guarantee 800 it's total commitment in all areas diet and workout plan across a long period of time.

[@delvinhandzel6799]

[@docb1807]

Did you hit the 170kg mate

[@davideldridge1124]

Even better road to 240kg Log. After 800 if he worked on his log clean the could cement himself as not only the best bench presser ever but the best presser of all time.

[@michaelfensome7781]

That would be sick to see, definitely agree julius could smash most press records. And unfortunately no raw 170 today, I used a band to do reverse banded press and got 170 for 3. Obvs it doesn't count but needed to get that feel for the unrack and top end weight without getting stuck on my chest

[@davideldridge1124]

@@michaelfensome7781 170 ain't no joke. I like the reverse band idea. You will get it next time.

what if he squatted 800 benched 800 and deadlifted 800 RAW that would be crazy😂

That would be near the all-time world record for raw powerlifting. Not sure how feasible that is, since his only focus now is the bench press.

[@kingwillie206]

@@mongopoju - Those weights and more are easily within his reach. When I trained with Andrew “Bull” Stewart back in the day he was doing that @ 242lbs with the exception of bench. Julius doesn’t need to worry about that though. He just needs to stay laser focused on achieving his current goal. Starting fresh and perfecting his form while improving his diet will get him there.

[@James_Edward59]

It sucks having to wait another 7-8 months but he has to do what makes business sense and doing it at Wrigley Field will get the most publicity. I could be wrong but it actually sounds like he’s on the Vertical Diet by Stan Efferding and his partner. If he keeps this up, in 7-8 months, he will have a lot more lean muscle and possibly be even more strong. Hopefully when the time for the lift comes, he’s got 810-815 in the tank on a good day so that the 800 won’t be too hard at the meet.
