Brad dingleberry
-
say it aint so :-\
-
Fake it until you make it. Just don't make it so obvious.
-
If & it's a big If His lifts were genuine
He Wouldn't Hide from Doing them in a Powerlifting Meet.
Let the dumb followers believe his Nonesense
Because that's what it is - Totall Nonsense.
-
Apparently the plates are real. Quite a few credible figures who've trained at the same gym as Brad have confirmed this.
-
You have to retarded to think those weights are real
-
guy is in shape and looks good, who cares what he lifts.....

I didn't think they were real at first either. But a few posters here, such as Dante Trudel, Navy Mike and Ryan Dewitt (liquid_c), have said that they are. Ryan is a legit +600lb bencher so his word is credible.

For the names mentioned that believe in his lifts, there's dozens including guys like mike o Hearn that's called him out on those lifts
If there's nothing to hide, he can just enter a powerlifting meet and set records easily for what he is doing

When you've got several bodybuilders and powerlifters who train at the same gym as Bradley confirming that the weights are real, I think you have to start believing them.
I still think Bradley is a douche, but his strength appears to be legit. Check out his vertical leaps and box jumps for instance. He's got great explosive power.

Al those sources aren't credible, prove it in a meet
Supposedly many more don't believe in his lifts and already called him out to challenge and even 10k was offered just to show up no matter the outcome
We shall see if any of it ever happens

Then why didn't he play sports in college? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Cause he apparently cares about what he lifts and wants to convince others that care that he cares what they think ;D

The people who believe the weights in his videos are real are those who train in the same gyms as him.
I don't know exactly why he doesn't enter a meet. I'd imagine that he's getting a lot of assistance from his spotters so his lifts at a PL meet would be considerably lower then what he uploads on Instagram. Perhaps he doesn't want the mystique surrounding his strength to be exposed as he thinks it will affect his online popularity?
-
His lifts are 100% real. Saw him bench in real life.
-
That article is shit. "Might be fake"... come back with
something substantial. I'm as sceptical as they come but
that article didn't tell us shit.
-
well we need to settle this once and for all
so how are we going to do that?
-
He always has the same octagonal plates, even is different gyms that have round plates on the trees. He must own those plates himself and take them everywhere he goes.
Seems legit.
-

ask esfitness , he probably supplied him with the plates.
-
His lifts are 100% real. Saw him bench in real life.
Did u see him bench 700 or a double with 675?
Afterwards did u help re rack the plates and got lunch at the local chipotle?
-
lets start with an easy question
- is he at the same gym everytime using the same weightplates? do people around him use the same weightplates? do they belong to the gym?

He can easily silence all the doubters if he does a vid showing him loading up the bar plate by plate before doing his set right after
No camera tricks, no editing, straight shot
We all know it will most likely never happen cause he's hiding something
-
Maxum is still around? Hahaha
He works out at the same LA fitness in San Diego , Brad isn't hard to find, they should take their asses down there and check the plates .
-

I know a reliable source who saw him bench a double with 675.
And don't be silly, Brad hates Chipotle.

And another 24 he works out of
3405 Via Montebello, Carlsbad, CA 92009

Dinkleberry is a liar and a cheat. Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. It doesn't matter whether the plates are made of teflon, in any case, he's not lifting the weight by himself. Nor will he ever be able to come close to replicate it in a "meet". Not that it matters, since he doesn't compete. Nor is it in his interest to do so.
Just your general dickhead making a buck off gullible people, let him be. ::)
-

Like I said have him post a vid of him loading up the plates before doing a set, should silence his doubters quick
Simple and easy
U seem to know him pretty well if u know he hates chipotle :D
Not buying this reliable source with absolutely no proof

sad hassles fairies

So extraordinary are the lifts that I call horseshit.
I mean, what does this turd even weigh?
As well, anyone intimately familiar with training with 600-plus poundages knows there are very telling "actions" to such a ponderous barbell. Whether it be those on a rack, back or whatever.
Very few have the knowledge and experience to make claim to lift validity.
-
where do these people buy fake plates?

Not sure, but they're not difficult to find, I know. When I was an editor at MuscleMag, we'd routinely employ them in photoshoots, as it's next to impossible for anyone to keep up with hoisting ANY weight for the length of time these shoots run.
Curling even 15-pound dumbells becomes a challenge when you've been doing it on and off for an hour, dozens of reps at a time.

all the shit ive seen in this sport/hobby/profession/life sucking endeavor/ ive never run across them. shocked no one has posted an add for fake plates on one of the many forums ive been on over the years.
i know bumper plates can confuse the average person etc etc

I think Dante Doggcrapp has said the plates are real, he trains at that gym iirc. Though I did argue with Dante years ago when he thought Brad was honest when he claimed natural. "Brad has decided to never juice, he's going to concentrate on football" or something like that. Brad then admitted to using "pro-hormones" and "pro-steroids" and Dante's response was, "I guess you think prohormones is juicing". Well yeah, I do and I don't think that was the full extent of it either even back then. But anyway, I don't think Dante would lie about that.
Not to say I trust a guy like Brad, and I haven't looked at all his vids so I don't know. I'm sure he's strong and a lot of the lifts are partial and assisted so keep that in mind.

It's like Priest ... whom I like, by the way.
He claims some purely fictional lifts, too. He says he squatted 765 for five or something, and this lie is so ridiculous it's embarrassing. To make it worse, he says he did it as a teen. Well, there's a video of him as a teenager squatting about 500, and anyone who's seen it can vouch the reps are so shallow they're not even in the ballpark of legit.
Again, someone who knows the outer limits of human strength as it has existed these past few decades knows these claims are beyond goofy.

Just look at the men that are lifting huge weights They don't hide from
Competing / lifting at Proper organised meets They Don't Refuse - Why would they.
As a former national powerlifting champion - The Likes of Dingleberry make me Puke.!!

have you heard of JM Blakely?
he was one of the bench kings back in the 90s
he was officially benched over 700 pounds in a sanctioned meet, shirted of course
anyways, I was his liftoff man at a meet back in the late 90s and he pressed 440 @ 220 and that is from a world class bencher
so these guys claiming these huge ass lifts are full of fucking shit

I was with Coan and Kaz when they challenged Kovacs to enter a meet to prove the published strength claims. Greg just mumbled himself about the conversation and removed himself from our vicinity as soon as possible.
Can you imagine? Ed and Bill calling you out on your horseshit?
Look, these men are all clearly extremely strong and powerful, but there's a limit to what (the knowing) will buy.

Ha ha - Yet another one - Greg Kovacks - Jeez How many bought into his Ridiculous claims.
Yes sure he was a mountain of a man & with his Bodyweight should've been capable of some
Reasonable poundage.
Good on Bill & Ed for calling him out - As expected when confronted by true world class
Strong men - kovacks Fcuks off.!!!

Yes, of course.

I am all about being proud of your heritage. In fact, that is the reason we have all of these problems today. In America, we fly a flag of diversity (like it or not) and it is becoming the norm for most nations of this world.
I love how people shout: "we need to keep immigrants out of our country!" Yet America was founded off of immigrants.

For as long as I live, I'll desire to exist among my own.
I don't wish harm upon those from other races and cultures, but I generally do not want them to be my neighbours. If I wish to experience them and their cultures, I will visit their nations/regions.

The Russians even have fake bumper plates too -
.
.
Also he's in California, it wouldn't hard to find a prop house to supply fake weights. Ivanko has aluminum sets that they use for trade shows, and loan out sometimes. Neauveux had some for photo shoots, etc.... One of the arguments is that they are octagonal plates, and usually not faked, but that's neither here nor there with the things new casting methods and materials have made possible. This is one of those things that won't be settled till he does it in front of other impartial lifters.

Okay, I read it. Had several minutes.
Very good piece. Food for thought.
Although I am quite successful in a few endeavours, so not what he stereotypes a white supremist to be, and I'm certainly not broken. I've been injured, physically and emotionally, like most everyone, but my scars are tales of living life. Nothing more or less.
The author's smart and thoughtful, but he's not approaching anything entirely truthful.
However, as I say, there's much to ponder in the article, and it educates in several directions.

As an editor for a bbing magazine in past with that kind of mindset, how did u deal with Hebrew bbers? Put on a fake persona and then talk shit behind their backs?
If people are openly racist, I'm sure they can say the things they type on the internet in person, doesn't seem to be the case though, that's why it's easier to hide behind a screen name
-
Great catch on the gym containing round plates when bozo brings octagonal plates. Hands down he's faking.

Ok lets say he's using fake plates, how does one even attempt to transport 10 fakes plates into a gym? Huge luggage? Hockey bag?

If they were fake plates someone at that gym would of exposed him, just look at how he acts in the gym, only Jason Genova is more annoying
-

That's what I'm saying, I mean maybe if he was going to the gym at like 3am and the place is empty, I can see this fake plate scenario a possibility, buts it's a full gym, daylight, and the bar is bending. Not trying to defend the guy, actually can't stand him, but just can't makes sense of the whole fake plate thing.

I still think Bradley is a douche, but his strength appears to be legit. Check out his vertical leaps and box jumps for instance. He's got great explosive power.
Jumping ability is highly genetic. He would certainly be a good jumper regardless of his lifting poundages. It's quite obvious castleberry can't truly put up the numbers. He's been offered thousands to come to a powerlifting meet and hasn't.

LOL yea thats exactly what I said....jesus....""Brad has decided to never juice, he's going to concentrate on football" or something like that"......ok...thats not what i said but who cares........ Oh man I cant even believe im talking about this guy again....why do i even bother. Let me straighten everyone out here ok.
a)He is 29-30 years old now. He weighs about 245-255 now. Back when he was 19-21 he was competing at 192-203 or something like that. He swore to me he was natural at that bodyweight....and his training partners swore it to me too. Obviously he is blasting nowadays. To make Van Bilderass happy Im going to say this "he was probably straight out bullshitting me" back then...I really dont care but seeing Van Bilderass bring this up every year for the last decade, there you go....you are right, I am wrong. He was probably lying to me. He is much bigger now and much leaner now than back then but he was probably lying his ass off...ok now that that is out of the way.
b) Nobody here in San Diego give a crap about this guy like people on the internet do. Yea its annoying as hell what he does and how he acts in his videos....he isnt making good money....Instagram likes and followers does not equal money made
c) He is ungodly strong. Yea its pretty shocking how strong he is at that lean of a bodyweight. He is starting to get injured more and more so its probably going to come back at him as he gets into his 30's
d) There is no fake weights here. Dont take my word for it, he isnt hard to find as someone else said on this thread.....there was just a thread on this on Geard up newsgroup where 4 other people who lift in the same gyms besides me said the same thing. You could not bring fake weights into these gyms. The picture of him in front of the squat rack...thats 24 hour fitness on sycamore in vista. You would have to walk thru the parking lot with fake weights, past the front desk, thru the TRX section, up two flights of stairs, and then all the way the length of the gym to get to the squat rack with fake weights in front of everyone in the gym to get there. It is not happening
e) He cannot bench 675. He cannot squat whatever is on the bar in front of the squat rack picture. There are no fake weights here. He is not hard to find..he lifts at 10am in the morning at 3-4 gyms here in North County San Diego. I lifted in the same gym with him for 10 years at the same time, I couldnt even count how many times ive seen him train. He doesnt even bring in a gym bag nevermind fake weights...the only thing Ive ever seen him walk thru the front door with is a phone...thats it. I have seen him deadlift 7 plates each side for reps probably 40 times. I have seen him do 4-5 plates plus each side on the bench press probably 200 times. I have seen him do 4 plate plus inclines probably 200 times. I know ive seen him do a 495 incline for i think 2 reps. Ive seen him do dips with five 45's on the dip belt. Ive seen him do 3 plates each side on ez bar tricep extensions for reps.....and a bunch of other stuff. He has insane genetics for strength and jumping ability.
f) his diet sucks...every single guy reading this post would have 25-30lbs more muscle mass on himself with this guys genetics because his diet to gain muscle mass is awful. But his genetics allow him to make gains but he should be much bigger. His triceps arent great...and in person he is much smaller than a IFBB pro of the same height. Regardless he is seriously strong. But again any getbigger who knows how to eat would be bigger with this guys genetic gifts. Its not fair but it is what it is.
g) Ok here is the gist of it. He does super spotting and half reps. I have no idea why he feels 500lbs lifted by himself in the bench press is not impressive but I guess he does. So these pictures and videos you see he is doing super spotting...which mean his training partner is pulling up the bar by 150-200lbs on the bench and doing the same if not more on the squats. That is it explained....they are pulling up on the bar and making it look like he is lifting way more than he can actually lift. I have no idea why he does it...i guess for instagram likes or whatever....but that is what is going on.
This video right here is exactly what is going on....I cannot even explain it any more clearer. The weights are real...but there is serious super spotting going on. Its been going on for years and years.

It wouldn't need to be 10 plates, just enough to have a decent amount of difference between claimed and actual weight. That is the way a lot of films and strongman shows do/did it. You use enough weight to get a bar bend, and actual exertion, but still within the lifter's strength levels. A decent quality fake #45 could weight between #8 and #18 depending on material used. He'd only need a couple of pairs handy to be a #100 plus pounds under weight.
Until he does it in front of other lifters that have nothing to gain, it will always be a question mark as to what is going on with those lifts.
-
Interesting point about the squatter assisting him by about 150 to 200 pounds. That would explain a lot.
However just because nobody has seen him bring in fake plates doesn't mean he doesn't. I once went to a gym that kept hollow plates behind the counter for photo shoots and would bring them out on request.

People love this guy. He's extremely good for bodybuilding and promoting the sport. Has done more for bodybuilding in one hour than Coach and his carpet grass gym has in a decade. Sorry...just stating the obvious.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, maybe not exactly but something like that ;D
In fact I believe the decision has already made from what I hear.....doesnt want to juice and so he is done competing because Musclemania was getting him nowhere and he knows he cant go into the NPC and win naturally......so I hear he is trying to pursue a pro football career as a fullback instead....and actually has lined up some tryouts and connections for himself going that route.

But anyway, I mostly like you Dante, despite me arguing with you, and I believe the weights thing :)

Yes, and that can't be faked.

and because he can jump
it naturally follows that every lift is real !

Yes, settlers who migrated from Europe, mostly England, France and Spain.
Migrated = immigrant.
I really don't see race as a thing to be proud of. Its all chance. I'm proud of accomplishments, not what I was given or not given by chance. I'm sure if I was black or Asian or whatever I'd still want to be the best version of myself and work with what I've got. White supremacists, black supremacists, Asian supremacists (is that a thing? I'll assume it is) are just people who have nothing else going for them, so they blame all the bad things in life on other races and all they have to be proud of is being whatever colour/ethnicity/geographical location they were born in. Its kind of sad... But I guess if I had nothing going for me in life I might feel the same way, too.

Settlers weren't migrants, since the US at the time did not have an established society (entailing infrastructure, government and so). Hence, being different from migrants who move from one society to another. Two entirely different circumstances, with different legal implications.

There are only a handful of 700lb benchers in humanity's history and Fratley Dinkleberry ain't one of em.

sorry to disappoint you but he is.
my cousins girlfriends uncle knows a guy at the gas station where he works who heard about this guy in the docks who has an uncle who works out at the same gym and he swears that he is that strong.
at least.
so there, settled.

Dude is a total douche poodle. Another internet conman.

Guy can press 405 for several reps. VERY strong. But nowhere NEAR a legit 500-pound bench.

dogcrapp thanks for the solid response

Hi brad
-
LOL yea thats exactly what I said....jesus....""Brad has decided to never juice, he's going to concentrate on football" or something like that"......ok...thats not what i said but who cares........ Oh man I cant even believe im talking about this guy again....why do i even bother. Let me straighten everyone out here ok.
a)He is 29-30 years old now. He weighs about 245-255 now. Back when he was 19-21 he was competing at 192-203 or something like that. He swore to me he was natural at that bodyweight....and his training partners swore it to me too. Obviously he is blasting nowadays. To make Van Bilderass happy Im going to say this "he was probably straight out bullshitting me" back then...I really dont care but seeing Van Bilderass bring this up every year for the last decade, there you go....you are right, I am wrong. He was probably lying to me. He is much bigger now and much leaner now than back then but he was probably lying his ass off...ok now that that is out of the way.
b) Nobody here in San Diego give a crap about this guy like people on the internet do. Yea its annoying as hell what he does and how he acts in his videos....he isnt making good money....Instagram likes and followers does not equal money made
c) He is ungodly strong. Yea its pretty shocking how strong he is at that lean of a bodyweight. He is starting to get injured more and more so its probably going to come back at him as he gets into his 30's
d) There is no fake weights here. Dont take my word for it, he isnt hard to find as someone else said on this thread.....there was just a thread on this on Geard up newsgroup where 4 other people who lift in the same gyms besides me said the same thing. You could not bring fake weights into these gyms. The picture of him in front of the squat rack...thats 24 hour fitness on sycamore in vista. You would have to walk thru the parking lot with fake weights, past the front desk, thru the TRX section, up two flights of stairs, and then all the way the length of the gym to get to the squat rack with fake weights in front of everyone in the gym to get there. It is not happening
e) He cannot bench 675. He cannot squat whatever is on the bar in front of the squat rack picture. There are no fake weights here. He is not hard to find..he lifts at 10am in the morning at 3-4 gyms here in North County San Diego. I lifted in the same gym with him for 10 years at the same time, I couldnt even count how many times ive seen him train. He doesnt even bring in a gym bag nevermind fake weights...the only thing Ive ever seen him walk thru the front door with is a phone...thats it. I have seen him deadlift 7 plates each side for reps probably 40 times. I have seen him do 4-5 plates plus each side on the bench press probably 200 times. I have seen him do 4 plate plus inclines probably 200 times. I know ive seen him do a 495 incline for i think 2 reps. Ive seen him do dips with five 45's on the dip belt. Ive seen him do 3 plates each side on ez bar tricep extensions for reps.....and a bunch of other stuff. He has insane genetics for strength and jumping ability.
f) his diet sucks...every single guy reading this post would have 25-30lbs more muscle mass on himself with this guys genetics because his diet to gain muscle mass is awful. But his genetics allow him to make gains but he should be much bigger. His triceps arent great...and in person he is much smaller than a IFBB pro of the same height. Regardless he is seriously strong. But again any getbigger who knows how to eat would be bigger with this guys genetic gifts. Its not fair but it is what it is.
g) Ok here is the gist of it. He does super spotting and half reps. I have no idea why he feels 500lbs lifted by himself in the bench press is not impressive but I guess he does. So these pictures and videos you see he is doing super spotting...which mean his training partner is pulling up the bar by 150-200lbs on the bench and doing the same if not more on the squats. That is it explained....they are pulling up on the bar and making it look like he is lifting way more than he can actually lift. I have no idea why he does it...i guess for instagram likes or whatever....but that is what is going on.
This video right here is exactly what is going on....I cannot even explain it any more clearer. The weights are real...but there is serious super spotting going on. Its been going on for years and years.

Then if he's not making good money then why not take the $10k offered win or lose?

Anybody know what NFL team he supposedly played in two games in? lmao What's his backround in football(high school and college). Or is this guy claiming he walked on with no experience at all?
Says he participated in 2 Nfl games in this bio. lol

Pretty sure it said combines not games. Regardless, if he signed up for a proday ($100 w/o an agent) he could have done them. Could have been NFL or CFL. He was no more than a JUCO player so regardless of his numbers he wouldn't have got a call...from any team.

Correction on this....
This is complete and utter BULLSHIT...
"He also says he did the NFL combines before even participating in junior college football. Something just doesn’t add up there"

If he actually did a NFL combine the guy would finish dead last
The Hebrews would wipe the floor with this guy

I was with Coan and Kaz when they challenged Kovacs to enter a meet to prove the published strength claims. Greg just mumbled himself about the conversation and removed himself from our vicinity as soon as possible.
Can you imagine? Ed and Bill calling you out on your horseshit?
Look, these men are all clearly extremely strong and powerful, but there's a limit to what (the knowing) will buy.
:D

He's also listed at 5'10. Which means most likely 5'9. That's basically midget territory for the NFL. Impossible to even get looked at at 5'9 in the NFL unless you were a legit running back in a div 1 college with great numbers. And this guy went around saying he was going to be a fullback in the NFL. lmao. He's probably one of those turds who said he would fight Mike Tyson for charity.(EVery State has one of those fools). Castleberry has all the traits of a pathological liar. Probably has two to three regular old timers a day asking him if he ever played football. He got sick of saying no so he ran with the idea that he played in the NFL.

the guy can jump
and because he can jump
it naturally follows that every lift is real !
getbig logic
bwa ha ha that is classic, he sucks big black cock to !

snoman i think he is more like 5/5 and i wouldnt be surprised if he is into other men

Yes, he must be at least 28 now. He lays tiles?

Something isn't right with his age. It will be 10 years this Dec since I competed last in the Excalibur and he was in my class in open Lt. Hvy. You're trying to tell me he was 17-18 years old? If I read his football stats correctly, he played Juco in 2011.

He says he had an NFL tryout or attended the combines?
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
-
Most guys I know that went to combine find good work on practice squads
One dude here in Charlotte is on panthers practice squad , makes $60k in season
I'd think he'd use that ability to earn some bank whilst going back to competing
Muscle mania -- me and PJ and doing JR USAs and this kid went to the NFL

Practice squad pays $7k week. I had a player last season that was on Cleveland's practice squad then was traded to the Cardinals towards the end of the season and is part of the 53. He should get a lot of play time this season.
