On February 21, 2021, Julius broke his Raw Bench Press All Time World Record at 782lbs (355 kg) at a Ghost Strong meet in Miami Florida. In 2 weeks, he is going for 800lbs. Do you think he will accomplish this?

My guess, no.

He’ll lose control after the hand-off or not lock-out on one side.

But what do I know.

Perhaps he’ll successfully complete the lift and then keel over with a massive heart attack.

I didn’t say that with malice, just to be clear.

I’ve nothing against the man. His pressing strength is absolutely otherworldly. Difficult to comprehend.

Julius had a successful lift 4 days ago at 795lbs so I think he will easily blow past 800lbs. Then at CT Fletchers Iron Addicts competition, Julius did 3 sets of 700lbs like it was nothing. Crazy strength

It can never be easy, even if it looked relatively smooth. A powerlifter doesn't have many of these lifts in him in a career. No one gets to a strength level where a 800lbs bench is easy. I bet he has people around him saying to make the 800 and then call it quits. If he wants to live. Like Eddie Hall's 1K deadlift.
