Julius Maddox Injures Pec, Could Delay 800Lb Bench Press Event
Julius Maddox injured his pec in a recent training session.
Julius Maddox recent suffered a pec injury during his prep for the 800lb bench press world record. The powerlifter recently released a video explaining that he suffered a pec strain that could set back the bench press attempt past June.
Injuries in high level training are common. If you’re competing at the highest levels it means pulling out all the stops in training. It means making sacrifices and pushing your body past it’s limit. With conditions like those, it’s easy to see how an athlete can get injured.
That’s exactly what happened to Julius Maddox.
The powerlifting champion has been showing some incredible strength in his recent meets. Just a few months back Julius Maddox broke his own bench press world record with an incredible 782lb lift. It seemed like a forgone conclusion that Maddox would go on to once again challenge the 800lb bench press.
Julius Maddox was set to attempt the 800lb bench press this June. He hoped to crush the bench press attempt this time around and was doing some great prep for the occasion. His recent training showed a man possessed, readying himself to do what no one has done before.
Unfortunately it appears that Maddox’s plans may have to be put on hold.
Bad News
In a recent video to his YouTube channel, Julius Maddox revealed that he has suffered a pec injury. While details aren’t completely clear, it doesn’t appear that he has torn his pec. Instead Maddox said in the video that he suffered a pec strain. While that is better news than a complete pec tear, it appears that Maddox will have to push back the date of his 800lb bench press attempt.
“I couldn’t even budge 720,” said Maddox. “I’ve never been in a situation like this, since I’ve been training. I don’t miss lifts, very rarely miss lifts. I don’t miss lifts like that.
“Strained my pec a bit at the bottom of the lift. Man, I messed up. I’m 8 weeks out from the event and I think I’m going to have to call and have a discussion about pushing this event back further than June.”
That’s truly unfortunate news. Julius Maddox was poised to tackle the elusive 800lb bench press after waiting for over a year at this next attempt. Now he will have to wait and see how his pec heals up before tackling the feat once and for all.

Julius Maddox Touts Danial Zamani as Major Threat to His Bench Press Record
There’s a challenger to world bench press record set by Julius Maddox.
Julius Maddox acknowledges that fellow powerlifter Danial Zamani is a real threat to his bench press world record.
Maddox is an absolute beast of a man. He has smashed bench press records left and right. Maddox is no doubt the king of the bench press. But no record lasts forever. Records are made to be broken. You need only ask Maddox himself for the truth of that statement. And according to the current world record holder, there is a challenger on the horizon.
In a recent Q&A video on his YouTube channel, Julius Maddox broached the subject about a challenger to his world record bench press. That man is Danial Zamani.
A native of Tehran, Iran, Danial Zamani is a powerlifter with a ton of promise. The 29 year old has shown some pretty impressive strength in the past. Fellow powerlifter and strongman Peiman Maheripour has sung Zamani’s praises in the past.
Monstrous Strength
Most recently Danial Zamani hit an impressive 330kg (727lbs) bench press.
Julius Maddox holds the world record bench press at 354kg (782lbs). Danial Zamani’s feat wasn’t very far off. In the Q&A video, Maddox addressed Zamani and is even motivated by the prospect of a challenger to the world record.
“This guy is a tank,” said Maddox. “If anyone at this point in time will give me a run for money, in the next year, it will be Danial.”
“A lot of people will throw that in my face and act like I’m scared, that my title is at stake. Guys, that’s the whole point of this sport, is to outdo one another. So why would I be mad if someone came along to outdo me?
“That’s not going to do anything but challenge me to work harder,” Maddox added. “When it comes to someone who’s literally breaking down the barriers, it’s Danial. But you got to understand, this gives me the opportunity to have a challenge.
“Whenever I compete, I’m always competing against myself. I’m never competing against anyone else, simply because there’s really no one in my league at the moment. Even Danial is so far off. He’s made exponential growth, but still there comes a point in time where you start to hit these walls.”
Julius Maddox looks to be excited by the prospect of Danial Zamani closing in on the world record. The added motivation will likely push his training to the next level. After all, his goal is 800lbs. If he keeps his focus on his original goal, he may not be have to worry so much about Zamani breaking the record. Julius Maddox will already be pushing past that number.
