Road to 800 Benchpress | Julius Maddox | Week 3

90% of week 3 bench session. Variations performed was Benchpress, Benchpress with bands, kaz press, cable flys, front and side raises and incline lat pull down. Just know I did this video for the people who didn’t want to hear background music. It made the workout rough.

All Julius can do is bench. Never put any impressive totals in a full meet. Not to mention Kirill did it at a much lighter weight.

Joseph Sah Chin you’re talking about a dude that held the raw bench record for a decade. Nothing to scoff at lol. Even Eddie hall does half reps on shoulder presses but has the axle clean world record. So chances are, half reps can benefit greatly.

Baby Tanya And that’s the thing. Lifting (properly/ and sometimes a cringe-worthy PR) is an accomplishment. Two 45’s on each side IS an accomplishment. It means your body has thus become conditioned well enough to stabilize 225 lbs-not a slouch by any means. It’s the benchmark of weight training. And it’s USUALLY the crossroad point in your lifting (life we’ll say), if you want to just kinda hang around that weight or start kicking it up and go for more. Weight training is a great motivator in life.

Yisra_el_awakening_400 recovering from a 400lb Bench will be a lot easier than a 800lb bench. Have to think about the fatigue build up. That’s why when you see a lot of top lifters they don’t lift very high frequency. Especially the bigger bodied lifters. You will notice aswell he has a deload week every fourth week. Can’t keep that up for that long. Hope that helped!
