Julius Maddox Speaks On Perseverance After Missed Attempt At American World Raw Bench Press Record (VIDEO)
If you have ever even been in the same room with Julius Maddox you know he has a presence that does not go unnoticed. His build alone commands attention but he draws his strength and determination from more than just weights.
This past weekend Julius traveled to California to attempt to break the American World Raw Bench Press Record. He didn't get the lift but to hear him talk his trip was not unsuccessful.
We are so proud of Julius record or not. He sets a wonderful example for student athletes and others. He relies on the Lord for his strength and stays focused on what matters.
Our family will definitely be cheering him on in October!
