In a spectacular display of dedication and athleticism, Derek Lunsford has ascended to the pinnacle of bodybuilding by securing the title of Mr. Olympia 2023. Lunsford’s journey to the top is a testament to the power of unwavering commitment, rigorous training, and the right support in gear and nutrition.

The world of Strongwoman sports has been buzzing with excitement, and the name on everyone’s lips is TuffWraps Athlete Lucy Underdown. She recently set a new Deadlift World Record at the 2023 Giants Live World Deadlift Championships, lifting an astonishing 701 pounds (318 kilograms). This feat has not only shattered previous records but has also set a new benchmark in the realm of strength sports.

Yes, a bench press world record you read it correctly...744.1 lbs. 😮

Julius Maddox has broken his old World Record Lift of 739.6 lbs, which were set early this year at the Boss of Bosses Powerlifting meet in California.  The NEW record he set is 744.1 lbs, and you can watch it below. 

An imposing sight. Have you ever seen 700lbs loaded on a bench? Fourteen 45lb plates, two 10lbs, and two 2.5lbs plates, plus the 45lb bar. Waiting, almost daring to be moved. 700lbs.

What an epic weekend it was for TuffWraps Athlete Johnnie Harris @power_bbuilder who competed in his first powerlifting meet.  He walked away with a National Record Bench Press lift of 655 lbs in the 285 lb weight class.

Yes, you read it correctly, Julius Maddox (@irregular_strength) attempts a world record bench press of 740 lbs at The American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX.  We are ver excited for this day, and we are here to support him during his venture today.

If there was ever something to celebrate, then this is a valid subject... 

When your previous best bench press in a meet was 705 lbs the thought of opening with 716 lbs is quite a daunting task, but that's clearly what our man Julius Maddox did at the record breakers meet last night.  

Trembling fingers, sweating, shortness of breath, quickened pulse. Sounds like the symptoms one might experience if they were running for their life. In truth, these symptoms are typical among athletes that experience competition anxiety.
