The 700 mark was first attacked in 1972 by Jim Williams, he felt short just at lock out. The 700 raw was finally broken in the mid 1990's by James Henderson and his record stood at 710 in 1997 (which still stands today in a full meet). Now as we approach 2020 it will nearly be the exact same time frame (about 25 years) to break a new frontier.. I believe its nearly time for the 800 pound mark to fall and it appears that Julius Maddox will be the first to launch an assault on it!
