 ew raw bench press record derby julius Maddox on 21st february 2021, with 355kg (782.6lb) On February 21, 2021, the Hybrid Showdown meet in Miami, FL became the site where powerlifting history was made. Powerlifter Julius Maddox has extended the raw bench press all-time world record — again — by lifting 355 kilograms (782.6 pounds). Going into that meet in South Florida, Maddox already held the world record with a lift of 349.2 kilograms (770 pounds), which he set at the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival. The Kentucky native was building towards this lift ever since he hit 350 kilograms (771 pounds) in February 2020.  The Hybrid Showdown is sanctioned by the World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF). Standing at six feet, three inches tall, Maddox weighed in at 447 pounds (or 203 kilograms). He was in the final flight of the meet, which included Dan Bell and Jon Call (aka Jujimufu). He started this meet with an opening bench press of 330 kilograms (727 pounds), which went up rather easily. He then took the new world record on his second attempt. Skipping his final attempt and going for the big lift on attempt number two is a classic Maddox move. This is incredible feat is another step for Maddox toward his ultimate goal of bench-pressing 800 pounds (362.8 kilograms) raw. He attempted this milestone in June of 2020 but ultimately failed in part due to a controversial misload of the weight by the spotters assisting in the meet. According to Maddox, the next time he will take a shot at 800 will be on June 10, 2021, in Chicago, IL. Adding 12 pounds to his already other-worldly previous record should serve as a nice confidence-booster as his next 800-pound bench press attempt nears.  The Hybrid meet was streamed live on Hybrid Performance’s Twitch channel and should be available for replay if you follow the channel. As for Maddox, he sent BarBend an exclusive message after his latest world record: “Resistance is necessary in order to reach greatness.”

 Footage of dan bell squatting 500kg 1102lb as part of his total world record of 1182.5kg 2607lb Below is a written summary of his competition. Less than three months after Petr Petras took the all-time world record raw total with wraps from Dan Bell, Bell reclaimed the record in monumental fashion at the Hybrid Showdown 3 in Miami, FL on Feb. 21, 2021. Bell totaled 1,182.5 kilograms (2,607 pounds). He is the first lifter ever to achieve this total in the Raw With Wraps category. Here are Bell’s top lifts from the meet: Back Squat: 500 kilograms (1,102) pounds) Bench Press: 272.5 kilograms (600 pounds) Deadlift: 410 kilograms (904.5 pounds) Total: 1,182.5 kilograms (2,607 pounds) Bell came in at 396 pounds (180 kilograms), which placed him in the over 140-kilogram category. He opened his day by breezing through three easy back squats. The first was for 465 kilograms (1,025 pounds), followed by 483 kilograms (1,065 pounds). He rounded out the first lift of the day by tying the world record with 500 kilograms, which frankly looked like a speed rep. Next up was the bench press. Once again, Bell went three for three. His opener was 250 kilograms (551 pounds), and then he moved on to 267.5 kilograms (590 pounds). That second attempt went up just as fast. Bell then finished up on the bench press with an easy 272.5-kilogram (600-pound press). He performed all three presses with a false grip, which is when the lifter neglects to wrap his or her thumb around the barbell while pressing. He placed his stake on the world record in the first attempt on the deadlift, where he pulled 390 kilograms (859 pounds) rather easily. Wanting to tack on even more weight to his freshly minted ATWR, Bell approached the bar for a second attempt, this time with 410 kilograms (904.5 pounds) on the bar. Bell stood up so fast with the weight that he took steps with the bar, causing him to get red-lighted. He gave it one last try on the final attempt of his day and nailed it. As a result, he is now the first man to total over 1,179 kilograms (2,600 pounds) ever in the Raw With Wraps category.
