I let you experts decide, this looks way to easy but perhaps someone who has been there can give us an insight

c'mon Fellas, I don't think any of you who lift weights would be fooled by this. I stopped by the AX booth and tried that also. I completed 18 reps....with 585lbs...hahahaha, well....it's only 250lbs on the bar, the rest was plastic weights. that's why you saw so many tiny tits from everywhere doing it and believe me, a lot of people were fooled. I will post my pic sometime later

They were fake plates. There was a line of about 30 people waiting to take their turns. About as cool as MusclePhone!

yeah honestly that dude doesn't look like he could do 245 for 23 but who knows, the arms ain't REALLY small but they ain't big either, i'd believe maybe 185.

Sarcasm, those arms are big maybe as big as yours. Leave it to Hugepecs to wear 13 sweatshirts and take stills. This guy is a legend. Why is everyone so upset, train hard and set no limits.

We need to ask him for lifting advice.

BS.  I can hit 225 for maybe 26ish reps....that skinny dude has no shot at 245x22!  Thats 135 + another 5lbs x 10 plates = 185

Damn!  The perfect clip would've been you pressing the weight with ease, followed by a schmoe trapped under the bar having to be rescued...by you, of couse.  ;D
