    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 UA-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!✊🏿✊🏿

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.

      GustavSweden yes, he benched 335kg back in 2015, i suggest you to watch his form/technique while performing the lift, it’s incredible.
      But yeah, Maddox took the record some time ago now benching 335,5kg

      Generally, GENERALLY, strongman/powerlifting is very encouraging. It’s competitive, sure, but going to a meet is an awesome experience because everyone cheers everyone on.
      Assuming the competitors aren’t complete butts, though. It’s a really cool thing to experience.
