This guy is impressive!! He is almost at Kirill Sarychev level. But Kirill bench 300 for 4 reps, and 335 for 1. Julius is almost there and I believe without injury he will get that world record. I'm surprised by his bench press technique, it's very different from Kirill and others. It seems like he doesn't use his lats, you can tell because the bar goes down very quickly, it feels like without back tightness. He has wide elbow rather than tuck also. It's all very interesting! I can't wait to see his future lifts.
Probably, but its hard to know. rep calc/guestimation doesn't work at this level. benchers at this level can hit a huge number with speed then add 5-10 more pounds and get crushed... the specificity of benching near max singles is the only way to know (and most power lifters generally aren't maxing out with singles pre comp).. he looks like he could have gotten 4 reps easily, or maybe he would have stalled at lockout on the 4th, everything fatigues quicker at these insane weights and if your cns hasn't felt the weight you can fail hard even if you think it's there for sure. whether he has 722+ in him or not, on meet day it will come down to intelligent attempt selection, which can be very tricky... you know its there, but you don't want to fatigue yourself before you can unlock all that strength, which happens too often with lifters.
@@happzy oh and by the way. He broke the record. I got the same feeling i have when i know im gonna pr when I saw him repping this that many times so I told him.
