After watching your video for the last 30 days I never knew how much I love bench press until now.

[@zsgvcfcgfdd]

@@irregularstrength yeah I can't wait to see that bro it's not even close to a matter IF it's gunna happen I just can't wait to see it happen, strength we may never see again in our lifetime tbh

[@rickettyross9254]

Someone clip this and send it to shaq or inside the nba on tnt. New season going to start soon would be awesome to see julius turn up on inside the nba. Tnt have had devon larratt there before, julius should be no problem to get on there.

[@irregularstrength]

Haha let’s goo

[@TheBcoolGuy]

Shaq? Never heard of him. Sounds like just some regular guy who isn't famous! :P

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

Close Grip OHP is one of my favorite movements, I increased it from 110lbx10 to 135lbx8 in the matter of a couple months, it brought my OHP max from 185 to 200lb. I have a mock meet in 4 weeks so I will find out then if it has any bench press carryover. Based on my top triples in my current peaking phase, I think it did!

[@michaelmullins1290]

The piston pushups are no joke. I've learned alot about accessory lifting from you. Im nowhere near your level, but it makes a difference. Shaq won't take that challenge. Thanks Julius.

[@irregularstrength]

I appreciate the support! Stay strong

[@sambsialia]

Julius, You are very good at explaining and communicating on video. I imagine that you are an excellent coach. if you would could ever have Coan in a video, it would be awesome to see you two legends together. Shaq gotta a size 22 shoe, he could palm your head.

[@irregularstrength]

Thank you! We are working on getting more collab content soon

[@lennygriffin4464]

Good job, Big man, Stay healthy and stay strong

[@irregularstrength]

Thank you 🙏

[@branchfielder7689]

This is your best video. Videos on your accessory exercises are more valuable than your max press Videos

[@shawnsack1]

Shaw just called you out on "best basketball player over 400#" this needs to happen!!!

[@dond1387]

One arm land mine press. Gotta try

[@kingshark5938]

To be honest, I'm glad this road to 800lbs has been bumpy, because it shows just how serious this weight is on a raw bench level. But, soon as you bust the lid off it, we gone want more. Lol.

[@irregularstrength]

Thanks bro

[@Shawn-ho6de]

That would be fun to hoop with Julius. Love basketball....such an awesome sport

[@champman232]

Lmaoooo "is that the type of stuff you like to see me call out people and be arrogant" We actually do yes lol you earned it Big time

[@johnsalera4985]

"Nobody has more control than me on the overhead press" *Sad Iron Biby noises*

[@zsgvcfcgfdd]

Great video that was awesome dudes giving free game right here more people in lifting should be watching that was sick

[@jakejakejak]

This is great stuff man, definitely will be looking at more of your stuff when I work on my bench

[@irregularstrength]

Thanks for the support

[@mightyquinn5135]

While 405 is great for your size it can def get better. I agree with Ed if you get the overhead press up your flat bench will go up too.and I think you can get OHP up fast

[@kevinmccallister3133]

Motivation! Watching before a big chest day. Let’s go!!!

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

Good one will add to my programs thanks you big dog nation 💪

I believe Brian Shaw is challenging you to a basketball game towards the end of his KZbin video today

[@damianellis3554]

I do have a question If you're trying to get the 800 why not wear more waited vest and equipment because you far exceeded your your body weight

[@peekz2774]

How do you know when to stop lifting heavy so that your cns can return to normal

[@cm3593]

Your the man Jay

[@albertmacdonald8387]

Earned a new subscriber!

[@10ktube]

Does the central nervous system need more or less time to recover than muscles and structure? Is rest the only way to recover it, active recovery help? Never looked into it deeply. Thanks or the vids as always.

[@westhetank408]

Takes muscle about 48 hours while the CNS needs about 72 hoirs

[@10ktube]

How would you know your cns needs a rest? Same deal, fatigue and all that?

[@thrashattack2185]

@Ryan you can fry your cns with more than 1-3 reps also. Its the high % of ur max that does it though. And yeah what he said just have 72 hours between your heavy squats / deadlifts and bench workouts(individually for upper and lower body) and if you fry it, you WILL know. In the beginning most likely it will affect your next work out and you’ll know cuz ur muscles are recovered but you wont be able to lift the same weight. Usually it wont be a terrible “fry” for a beginner, its when ur advanced that you can be out for 2-3 weeks after destroying urself.

[@danzellnettles1585]

Need that theme song on iTunes

[@irregularstrength]

It’s on there. “Brass tax”

[@djb8151]

Crazy 2 think every time He does a push up it's like benchin 315+!!

[@mikoajukaszuk4309]

It is possible to you for having tucked elbows in any pressing movment? I'm wondering it is lack of mobility, intended or just too big :D

[@dannytombstonetombs9296]

Julius Maddox, where can I sign up/ or join powerlifting meet?? Probably thinking about joining next year

[@irregularstrength]

Many different federations. You just have to find one that suits you. Wrpf, Rps, uspa, uspal, ifp etc.

[@elderlyBerry]

My question isn't relevant to this video, but I've always wondered why when u bench you have your feet on a couple of plates? What's the benefit of doing that?

[@executivestyle7512]

Have you ever benched with a deadlift bar?

[@irregularstrength]

Thanks buddy! Me to

[@cleanestedits1]

Is it better on seated press to not do full range? Not judging just wondering.

[@danielmeyer1013]

My guess is that with the amount of weight he's pressing, he's trying to protect his shoulders. Full range of motion can stress the shoulders, so its safter not to (at 405 pounds)

[@cleanestedits1]

@@danielmeyer1013 yeah I guess when he reps my deadlift for seated press it makes sense

[@silatguy]

Its because of his shoulder mobility of having so much upper body mass and mainly benching most of his career

[@tommygun8722]

Julius, as Toddzilla Hutchings has recently done a video of the JM Press variant, 105kg for multiple reps, will you do a video to show what you can do with this exercise? Its becoming popular with armwrestlers now for elbow tendon and tricep support kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZrRi5Z5nrCpkLc
