This might be the first time I have seen Eddie lose a static weight lifting competition...all the collabs with Shaw, Oberst, and Best he never lost...puts into perspective how much of a beast this dude is.
Maddox trains for benchpress competition 4 times in a week so its obvious he will win in benchpress but if u talk about overall strongman thing eddie is beast and in benchpress Maddox is beast
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 TH-cam, 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.🙏
I shattered my knee. My life changed in the blink of an eye. All just to get the out at first base and prevent the runner from scoring from 3rd base in a co-ed softball league. 😩

Well, Julius did it raw, while Eddie was as equipped as it gets. I think a more worthy peer for Julius would be Benni Magnusson, the raw deadlift record holder.

What a teaching bench press class !!! Thanks Julius for being so kind and explaining in great detail your training approach! Cheers from Brasil ! thanks Eddie too !!
One decision got him where he is now. There's probably some crackhead living on the streets with an even bigger potential who made the wrong choice at that pivot moment in their life. Life is crazy
Great to see Julius turned his life around & focused his energy and efforts into something so incredible! Also nice to see Eddie so humble & both men learning from each other. Great video.
Really positive/uplifting turnaround story from Maddox. I love when people from different worlds come together, especially, to send a positive message. Plus I've learned how to better press.🔥🔥
One of the things I find most interesting with these collabs is that no two world class men train the same way. It's almost like there has to be a personalized aspect to training to become the best.
Julius will absolutely hit the 800 lb bench! Subbed to him and look forward to seeing it. I watched every second of this video, Eddie, and I'm a 50 year old woman who hasn't lifted weights in quite some time. lol Loving the content! (Medical reasons for not weight training atm, for those who might comment. I intend to get back into it later on.)
The vid is awesome. Not only entertaining but also insightful on how to bench. I was trying to train my bench but am still new and this helped guide me.
Eddie, its pleasure to see your movies, you get always nice guests. You motivate me so much to start again with trainings after problems with heart I got .... thank you man.
Seen this video before, but was just struck with a thought. It must've been awesome for Julius to have a workout partner who can hang with near the same weight and reps. Really for both of them finding another human being who can lift that much, for that many reps, amazing!
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
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.
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. . .
Honestly I know it will be hard but I sincerely hope you have Julius over more often. I love the way he articulates himself, how he's so soft-spoken even with that voice, and so technical and methodical without being the least bit boring. Brains and brawn truly make the winner together, never alone. Not only that, but he seems like a nice guy, and there's obviously huge respect between both sides here. One of the best strongman vids I've seen recently.
i am very impressed and intrigued buy how you are putting all of this together Eddie it is a great way of learning. I also use this way of thinking in my work life picking up Technics and learning skills from other people in the same industry and i found it dose help allot great vid keep up the awesome work Paul :)
This must be the best video i ever seen. 2 of the top stongest men in the world. And still so humble and with a good source of humor. And great advice too. ...respect!
This channel is easily the most underrated strongman channel and its easily the best, on top of that the fans always have the funniest comment lets get eddie to 1m and pass big time bois!
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.
@@kamden5623 not really he says he likes six two and a half so he basically just rounds it up to six three he said it a couple times and some of his videos
Eddie is a professional in is own right, but it’s still awesome to see him let Julius teach him his side of it. Always remaining a student & staying humble. 👊🏻
That was awesome Eddie, I started following you wherever I could from your strongman days and you are a really mad inspiration to me. Last year I weighed a really fat 30st 9lb last November and now I'm 16st 2. I started at the gym last week with my son but I'm incredibly weak now. I don't know if it's my age, 54 or just weak in general. In my prime I was pressing 100kg for 6 reps and a max of 120. Now I'm struggling at 50kg 😭. I'll keep trying but doubt I'll ever get back to where I was 25 years ago. It just amazed me how much weight you shift in a way I can relate to. I've obviously never even seen an atlas stone in real life never mind tried to lift one up 😂😂👍
Thanks for everything brother! The video turned out 🔥🔥🔥🔥 as usual!
Julius Maddox thanks for travelling over buddy and good luck breaking your own WR coming up 🙏

Ego out of the gym and learning from someone who started when you were already strongest man in the world. Real class , that's champions mindset!
One decision got him where he is now. There's probably some crackhead living on the streets with an even bigger potential who made the wrong choice at that pivot moment in their life. Life is crazy
I am that crackhead. Only difference is that I don't do crack and I don't have potential.
@@buffoonustroglodytus4688 is that u in ur profile pic naw mean
One decision? What was that decision if I may ask :)
@@Cornell90 Watch the video and you'll find out
@@liamc7097 Suck it.
Great to see Julius turned his life around & focused his energy and efforts into something so incredible! Also nice to see Eddie so humble & both men learning from each other. Great video.
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.
Really positive/uplifting turnaround story from Maddox. I love when people from different worlds come together, especially, to send a positive message. Plus I've learned how to better press.🔥🔥
Yess i was waiting for this vid, time to get my cranberry juice and oblivion and watch this banger!
That cranberry juice is a big part of why he's dehydrated
@@eggbert191 He needs some more hydrogen in his drinks if there ever was something like h2o. I'm not quite sure though
mad
Been waiting for this. Hopefully Julius' channel blows up because of the exposure, he deserves it! Awesome collab
in tears listening to julius's story. i need to make the change he did. so much inspiration
Hi there. I hope you managed to make the change.
It seems that every time Julius speaks he's got a little pearl of wisdom to share, whether it's about bench pressing or training or life. Good man.
One of the things I find most interesting with these collabs is that no two world class men train the same way. It's almost like there has to be a personalized aspect to training to become the best.
Carl Antaya everyone has their own way of training and getting gains
Me for example i may my own sets and reps until i feel that its right
@@The_Mysterious_Saiyanno one cares what u do tho
“Imagine the guy who will propose to his daughter some day and this massive beast comes to the front door when you ring the doorbell
*several years later happy family life because of bonding over gym time with a world record strongman/bench presser*
I'd be so happy if that happened. Would definitely marry his daughter just to train with him a little Haha.
I would just ask him if he even lifts bro.
@@adamzaidi1748 he'd lift you and turn you into a wedding ring
@@ProdigySpite Ahh yeah! I've always wanted to become a wedding ring.
Best explanation of leg drive I’ve heard, I can actually see him moving up and down the bench while pressing. Great video this 👍
great editing of video. loved that you kept the conversation going through the reps
He’s huge makes Eddie look small lol. Great of Eddie to give him this platform
Julius will absolutely hit the 800 lb bench! Subbed to him and look forward to seeing it. I watched every second of this video, Eddie, and I'm a 50 year old woman who hasn't lifted weights in quite some time. lol Loving the content!
(Medical reasons for not weight training atm, for those who might comment. I intend to get back into it later on.)
The vid is awesome. Not only entertaining but also insightful on how to bench. I was trying to train my bench but am still new and this helped guide me.
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.
A 335.5kg bencher being given given a spot by a 500kg deadlifter. Damn 2 of the strongest in their crafts right here !
@Teringventje still gotta respect julios!
Noooo …. the two strongest ever in their crafts.
@Teringventje Well Julius currently has the world's strongest chest and triceps, and most likely shoulders and traps too.
Teringventje not really way more people have won worlds than benched over 700 lbs
@@callumaston1598 no one is even close to a 500kg dead though. Not even hafthor is that close
This dude is so well spoken, loads of gems. A pleasure to watch!
Eddie, its pleasure to see your movies, you get always nice guests. You motivate me so much to start again with trainings after problems with heart I got .... thank you man.
Seen this video before, but was just struck with a thought. It must've been awesome for Julius to have a workout partner who can hang with near the same weight and reps. Really for both of them finding another human being who can lift that much, for that many reps, amazing!
It worked now I can bench 740lb
Didn't work for me, I can only get 735 on a good day..
Well I currently bench 2300x5 at 8' 3" 750lbs bodyweight, so it definitely worked.
I’m 2 days old and can bench 730lbs is that good?
@@jadenmassey7882 You can almost bench press me, keep pushing and you'll make it.
@bum bam Only 700? Huh, amateur. When I was a sperm I was doing 850
Me: How much do you bench bro?
Julius: More than you or anyone else ever will
He seems far more humble than that...
Joe Public but he literally could say that and it wouldn’t be lying 🌚👹
@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
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
But props to julius current champ with record 👌
i wish i had a friend like Eddie ... he seems like a bro of the highest echelon
What a beauty to see those great champions being so humble and wanting to learn…a lesson to see it
Eddie was humble and more than willing to take on the role of student to see what he could learn from Julius. Saluted.
He had no other option lol Julius is the King
@@choosefreedom4725 hehehe.. you're funny 🤣🤣
21:05
Julius: You're gonna be sore tomorrow bro. It's a good thing, it's a good sore.
Eddie: It's like bum sex. It's a good sore.
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.
Thank You Eddie for this video.
Great information for a new workout.
Same here i waa a heroin addict for 15 years started watching my life fall apart worse worse and worse body building has gave me my out
r86 Good On you Brother! Strong Positive energy towards you right now. Peace and blessings be upon you, God Bless You and Your Family Forever.
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. . .
Well done you ! I'm 14 days clean myself now and have got into weights to keep myself occupied. I have a long way to go but it's a start 👊
Just switch to steroids lol
nathan billy stfu
Honestly I know it will be hard but I sincerely hope you have Julius over more often. I love the way he articulates himself, how he's so soft-spoken even with that voice, and so technical and methodical without being the least bit boring. Brains and brawn truly make the winner together, never alone.
Not only that, but he seems like a nice guy, and there's obviously huge respect between both sides here. One of the best strongman vids I've seen recently.
It’s whole lot sense they talk out there. Real raw people who had gone through what many go through. Great inspiration guys keep it coming🙏
Love that they both were like “I’m here to learn from you!”
Julius is so chill! I really like him. Glad to see he turned his life around. Very proud!
It's that 0.6 lbs that makes the difference. I mean, ANYONE can do 739. But 739.6? Whooooo
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
Julius Maddox is so well spoken. Really seems like a genuine guy! 👍🏻
i am very impressed and intrigued buy how you are putting all of this together Eddie it is a great way of learning. I also use this way of thinking in my work life picking up Technics and learning skills from other people in the same industry and i found it dose help allot great vid keep up the awesome work Paul :)
"he started lifting when I was worlds strongest man"
Julius has a gentle nature about him. I love it!
Only on the surface i bet 🤯
Lol@ these guys^ are some haters. He gave that life up
@Mike chance that dentist number to the funeral parlour
@Mike Mike Tyson is a legitimate nutjob
@Mike not as much as Tyson, he even said he can't watch anything boxing related or he goes crazy.
This must be the best video i ever seen. 2 of the top stongest men in the world. And still so humble and with a good source of humor. And great advice too. ...respect!
Eddie you are the best, I enjoy watching your videos before I workout in the afternoons. Your an inspiration brother from here in Florida’s panhandle
Eddie listen to his audience .and he collaborate with julius
Never clicked a video to see two mens chests faster in my life
Men*
loool
Julius Maddox is a REAL role model, many prayers for your recovery from that failed meet and your success at 800lbs!!
Excellent bench and accessories break down!
This channel is easily the most underrated strongman channel and its easily the best, on top of that the fans always have the funniest comment lets get eddie to 1m and pass big time bois!
The beasts an asshole!!! He comes across as a bell end!!! I want 1k likes for this you shithouses!!!💀💀💀
@@Elbowspurs huh
I think we found Brian Shaw's shadow account. 😂😂
I don't think you know what underrated means.
By the time I watched this vid Eddie was well over 1 mil.
[Edit] Over 1.2 lol. Good for Eddie. Love the guy
Who's going to be the one to tell Eddie he's actually 6 2?
And eddie claims 6'3 lol
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.
@@kamden5623 not really he says he likes six two and a half so he basically just rounds it up to six three he said it a couple times and some of his videos
I mean he said he's six two and a half so he basically just runs it up to six three he said a couple times in some of those videos
@@kamden5623 I swear I heard him say 6ft 3.5 inches tall but all those years of squatting has made him
shorter!.
Eddie is a professional in is own right, but it’s still awesome to see him let Julius teach him his side of it. Always remaining a student & staying humble. 👊🏻
That was awesome Eddie, I started following you wherever I could from your strongman days and you are a really mad inspiration to me. Last year I weighed a really fat 30st 9lb last November and now I'm 16st 2. I started at the gym last week with my son but I'm incredibly weak now. I don't know if it's my age, 54 or just weak in general. In my prime I was pressing 100kg for 6 reps and a max of 120. Now I'm struggling at 50kg 😭.
I'll keep trying but doubt I'll ever get back to where I was 25 years ago. It just amazed me how much weight you shift in a way I can relate to. I've obviously never even seen an atlas stone in real life never mind tried to lift one up 😂😂👍
Eddie Hall: scared of box jumps
Also Eddie Hall: climbs on a 2m high rack
Herpaderpus
I’ve never blown out a knee climbing on anything. I have blown out a knee doing box jumps.
FUCK box jumps
Feels bad when u see Myles garret doing like 50 inch box jumps with 50lb dumbells
