I know what you mean; my ankles are keeping me from benching 805

[sstteevveenn]

We all start somewhere. Keep at it brotha

[conan-thelastbarbender]

This has happened to all of us at least once when trying to bench 800 pounds 😂😂

[Redditor]

As someone who benches 800lbs for a warmup 6 days a week, I concur.

[TrayCaddyyy]

Imagine being so strong that he needs to fix his hip to bench 800lb.

[sarethums]

If I had a penny for every time that happened to me when I’m benching 800lbs

[tyvekhomewrap]

I just cannot even fathom pushing that amount of weight off my chest. Totally insane

[darthrevan]

I love when great athletes are not afraid to show their weaknesses and instead choose to work on them. Humble and winning go together 👏👏👏

Alright now, if Julius doesn’t get this next 800lbs attempt I blame Squat University

[zadinal]

Wow, this shows how impactful small issues you wouldn't even consider can effect people trying to scrape out the maximum of what a human can do. Like, seriously who would think his hip rotation would be involved in his bench but it certainly is.

[ImperialFool]

Man i need some help too, id probably be benching 900lbs if it werent for my bum knee.

[trentarmstrong]

Love Julius. Can’t wait to see him bench 800. Then I’d like to seem him downsize and take care of his health. If he gets that weight there’s nothing left for him to do in the sport. Man’s already a legend

[shelfcloud]

If I tried to bench 800lbs it wouldn’t be my hip having problems. 😅

[Osprey]

Man all these videos just make me wish we could clone this guy so everyone could get this level of help.

[gaminikokawalage]

Imagine julius gets jumped and 5 guys dog piles him, and julius just benches them off of him

[Glaedr]

This guy is literally maximizing his body to the absolute maximum to hit this bench press

[wickywills]

Happens to me every time I bench 800 also.

[misterricky]

This mammoth of a man:I’m trying to bench 800 lbs
Me: oh yeah relatable man( *proceeds to put on a clown suit* )

[wajahatsayyed]

This is exactly what I need
Please make a detailed video on this

[Plowboy]

It’s also the big stuff that helps you be a world class athlete
