Look at his leg press as one example.  My back just hurts watching his back come off the pad.

Kid is strong with good genetics. Noticeable gyno in the vid, but whatever. At almost 30, he's gotta lighten up the training and tighten up his form or he's gonna injure himself.

No it's not! TRT users test levels are higher than that of a growing teenagers, stop pretending.

Brad had told Dante he would never take steroids and would therefore stop bodybuilding and do football instead, Dante believed him. Later on Brad had admitted to using "prohormones from bb.com", and Dante wrote to me demeaningly "maybe you call that juicing" (of course, those hormones were as strong as any illicit steroids).
The whole thing was a lie, kid was juiced way earlier than Dante claimed. And him not ever wanting to take drugs was utter bullshit as we can see.

TRT is not a fixed dosage. It depends on how much your doc prescribes.

He takes his entourage with him who are constantly ego affirming him and when he speaks to you you can tell from the look in his eyes that he thinks himself a thousand miles superior to you, that you hardly even exist.

It still helps you like nothing else and gives you a head start, every dude who gets regular shots of test by a doctor all of a sudden feel like a teenager on ecstasy so don't give me the "it only replaces my missing natural test" crap. It still allows you to recover and maintain muscle better than natties who have so called normal levels of test.

My friend is 40+ years old. He says "yeah I don't take much, I only inject my self like once a month now". Vains popping, muscles bulgin even tho he hasn't trained in two months  ::)

Not impressed.

He's gassed to the rafters and moves the weights like a retard.

I'm natural and can approximate his lifts with infinitely better form.

P.S. Of course, in an aesthetic comparison, he looks vastly better than me; but then again, my insides likely look a heck of a lot better, as well.

Haha, like a T level of 800 to 1000 ng/dl gives someone with a level of 500 or so such an advantage! It doesn't.

There's no doubt that Castleberry is freakishly strong.  For me, if he would only stop the most muscular after every lift I could take him more seriously.  That most muscular is as grating as the DLB duckface.

You would have to know what his test levels are without HRT to begin with.. If he's getting it from his Doc and really only doing 1 shot a month, his overall Test levels would probably be under 250 to be legally taking it for hypogonadism. A shot of 250mg Test would get that level up approx 500-800 total range. And that number would only stay there for the first 7-9 days. Then it would fall off a cliff from days 9-15. By the beginning of week 3, his levels would be close to where he started without HRT. Week 4 it's like he never did a shot in the first place.

So for 1 week out of a month. And 800 total test count may be the same of some 18 year olds. But some 18 year old guys can have a total test count of 1200. I've read a 1000 is average. That's more than the 800 that your buddy would have for a week.

If a doc was only going to give you a shot a month. You're better off imop to not take it at all. Yoyo hormone levels can't be good. Now once every 2 weeks would be worth it. Once a week would be optimal...

What's probably going on with the guy you mentioned is he's simply lying to you. Every gym is filled with guys who lie about what they're using. Or your perception of how much muscle the guy has is flawed. I know if i'm not in the best shape or take time away from the gym, my perception is thrown off a bit. I'll see someone one day that think the guy must be using something. Only to see the same build I month later and say wTF was I thinking that guy is a tiny tit...lol

dude has been offered 10k to compete, wont do it. theres this video where he claims ridiculous numbers in the big three with absolutely nothing to back it up- not to mention he doesnt immediately know the numbers, he sits there and contemplates each one in his head for 10-15 seconds lmao.

dunno how you could ever feel sorry for such a narcissistic homo.

Hes got a shitload of muscle mass
and also a hell of a lot of strength

Doesn't make sense he isn't taking it to competition... May as well prove yourself.
Anyone who does that, earns major respect from people in bodybuilding or powerlifting.

His strength level isn't really that impressive in terms of serious lifters, national competitors, and pretty much every ifbb pro including 212 competitors, with the dosages can do the same weights if not, more

Aaron Clark, Corey, Jose, hide, Dave Henry, Phil, Dexter, pretty much all can do 405 bench presses for reps and 500 pound squats easily

What's so special about this drugged up douchebag?

He has combined a very impressive physique with very impressive lifts.

His strength combined with his athleticism is impressive. There are videos of him raw squatting in the mid 700's as a teen and doing 70 inch box jumps. Not many pro's could replicate these things.





It may not be textbook form, but the dude has some serious explosive power.

This guy has been posting these massive lifts for well over a decade now, yet the only time he has competed (2007) his bench was low 400s, squat was in the 5s and a 650 dead. Only lift he posts that is believable is his dead, never seen him go over 675 but yet squats 800 in regular lose street shoes with no knee protection and benches world record numbers with no wrist wraps or elbow protection  ::) bar never bends on any of his benches and he has slid 675 back and forth while laying flat on the bench which isn't even possible. But yet won't do a meet to prove his strength, it doesn't add up.

He was called out by a bunch of big names in powerlifting last year for his BS lifts, money was put up to get this guy to compete yet he still sat at home and posts gym lifts and blocks everyone off his instagram who calls him out.

 Steroids dont make you that much stronger. He could use grams per week and pop anadrols like tic tacs and it doesnt mean thats the deal breaker here.

The dude is just freakishly strong hes genetically blessed when it comes to strength. Its just how it is. Hes a freak of nature. They exist accept it.

Lol wow was not expecting so much defense for Brad on here. Not saying the dude isn't strong or impressive, but he majorly embellishes a lot of his claims. Show me a squat or bench without someone else's hands on the bar and the numbers will severely drop. Guarantee it.

And his results from the only time he competed proves that. He's just an Instagram gym rat.

That's what I am saying, where are all these claims this guy is speaking of??

Where's the 500+ pound bench, 700 squat??

Sure he's strong but not what he is claiming

I am standing by my statement that a lot of ifbb and national competitors would give him a run like kuclo, Dallas, Aaron Clarke, Jose and others I've mentioned

At least mike o Hearn is legit and that dude would whoop his ass a long with Tito Raymond who weighs 175

I agree that his lifts wouldn't get white lighted in any powerlifting meet but it still takes considerable strength to handle such poundages.
I'm also not denying there are stronger lifters out there, but the combination of strength and athleticism that Bradly has is something few possess.
Several other established lifters have vouched for Bradly's strength while critiquing other aspects of his training/ego/attitude.
