The 33-year-old American Powerlifter Julius Maddox has been riling up the fitness community online with his insane bench press records. However, the Powerlifter and athlete had also received several hateful comments on his posts, which he proudly shared to celebrate his small accomplishments.

The 6’3″ Julius Maddox recently looked down on such petty reactions from several fitness community members. He not only called them out for such hatred spreading but also declared what he intends to do regarding his posts and their content.

Julius Maddox wants to celebrate every press he does

Through his latest Instagram post, Maddox initially caught the audience’s attention by bench pressing a massive weight of 727 lbs. Then, in the caption of his comments, he deliberately wrote how much he despises the hateful comments because of the posts he shares on his fitness regime. He said, “Some of you on this app are MISERABLE I never understood/ understood why people have so much hate in their heart and on top of that are so worried about another man’s accomplishments that’s so lame to me..”

Then the Powerlifter added that he would absolutely follow his own mind whatever he pleases and would share whatever he decides on with his fandom. He announced, “Listen‼ I’m going to celebrate every time I press any kind of weight no matter how many times I’ve done it.”

Usually highly faithful and religious, Julius Maddox firmly believes that with God’s permission, he can do what he wishes regarding fitness. The Powerlifter has also decided he would not like to listen to any negativity to bring him down.

Several fans from the fitness community defended Maddox

One of the fans stated, “Imagine hating on the best bench presser on the planet.” Yet another pointed out that the most successful people get more haters. Hence, they said, “They say the more success you have the more haters. It’s hard to shake that off but keep it positive ️Take it as a compliment and keep it moving.” Someone else also commented, “Who the hell would criticize seeing 700+ being blasted up like an empty bar???” While another fan declared the greatness of the athlete by saying, “Strongest presser in human history..” Someone else also reflected, “Sheesh. Man forgot to struggle.”
