Gotta admit this kid keeps in good shape. He should diet for a month and step on stage.
-
Nice straps. Any view where you can see the bar?
Why have no getbiggers lifted with this guy to confirm the real plates?
-
Plenty of Powerlifting comps about
Strange he has always managed to Avoid them.
-
ESF you ever cross paths with this dude in San Diego?
-
he is a true so cal bro to the extreme
handsome guy too -

Why should he compete just for a plastic trophy? ??? ??? Its not like powerlifters are becoming multi-millionaires from winning a competition.

Haven't lived in San Diego since 05

Haven't lived in San Diego since 05
And he looks to have been 10 back then

Why would it be for Just a Plastic Trophy.
He could prove his strength / back up the claims of the weights he lifts
Or just for the fun of it - He clearly enjoys lifting.
He may win state / regional / national comps
That’d be an achievement
And an adie to promoting himself & maybe getting some extra $’s

He doesn't have to prove anything to anybody.
Further, maybe he has no interest in competing.
People can believe his videos or not. Clearly, Brad doesn't care what people think.

Nope he doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone
He / we can all make any claims we want & not prove anything
Personally I don’t believe his videos
Maybe many do — Makes zero difference to me either way
Clearly it appears he doesn’t have any interest in competing
Good for him
Though it would be away to officially record his strength / lifts
And quieten his disbelievers - Like I said previously who cares

All of his videos are not fake. There are videos of him using dumbbells, which are obviously real. There are other videos of him using the ez-curl bar.
Some of the compound movements are questionable. But, who really cares if he is using fake plates. I don't get why so many people care. It has zero influence on their lives. People can choose to follow his instagram/twitter or not. Its pretty simple.

::)
Is this from a video?

10 plates per side!! Don't be a hater!!

No hate, I just want to see what he does with it

I don't think it shows him squatting the weight just standing there. Maybe doing calf raises. :D
-
Doug Miller did that at a lighter body weight and is natural ;D
-

Interesting coming from a diet coach/guru such as yourself. I myself used to think he was something like a month or so away from stage conditioning. Nice to see that I wasn't wrong about that. ;)

It is very simple.
Yet you appear to care - making a song & dance about his videos & how they are not fake.
How do you know the dumbbells are not fake also or the weights on the Ez bar.
As an ex national powerlifting champion I know the weights I lifted were not fake
Or the records I set at the time we’re not Fake.
Sri Chinmoy made some videos ::) The likes of Bill Pearl went along with some of his
Nonsense feats of strength ::) Go watch his videos he’s much stronger than Brad
, any strongman , powerlifter ect - I think you may like his videos.
You believe what you want
Enjoy.

All I did was post his videos, then you went on a diatribe about him competing and using fake plates, etc. Seems like you care much more than me, considering you're the one who initially called him out about not competing, not me. I simply posted a video. ??? ??? And, I responded to your meltdown about him not competing--nothing more, nothing less. If you didn't care, you would not have initially responded the way you did. :-\ :-\
-
I heard Brad wants to enter MMA
-
he's strong af, but he is NOT natty.
-
he's strong af, but he is NOT natty.
Look how much he lifts, how will anyone beat him in MMA?

No shit Sherlock.

If you didn’t care why would you post his video.
You posted it & commented on no fake plates.. ::)
It’s a forum & others are free to reply / comment
And all I did was comment
Also I didn’t call him out ::)
Just pondering the question why wouldn’t he if he is routinely using such heavy weights
It’s not like he would have to specifically train for it just go along & lift.
You feeling ok.
-
I heard Brad wants to enter PMMA
Fixed
-
Wait... I just read the 585 x10 dl thing.
585x3 was my working weight years back, as was my training partners... He's only getting 7 more??? I never considered that strong, as there's guys who got much more than me and were smaller.
The brad fellas has much bigger lifts, no???

You seem very upset that he may be using fake plates. That's all I am saying--you got very defensive in response to the video, then called him out to compete. Usually, when people are upset, they call out other people.

I may have gotten 585x2 at my best. If Castleberry's 585x10 was done with real weights, it's pretty damn respectable. But if he's doing a fake weight video he should have added a few more plates to make it more impressive.

Yea its impressive, but i thought he was known for stoooopid heavy stuff for high reps. 585x10 is kinda "meh" when me and training partners have gotten it for 3. Known guys who got 495 for an easy 15 lifetime naturals.. Put on another plate and I'd imagine they'd get close to 10 their 1st tries doing it

Nope - Wrong
He can use what he wants.
I call his lifts out because I don’t believe them.
Usually when making strength claims one would Legitimately Back Them Up.
You come across very Hurt & Defensive about his poundages being questioned.
You Believe Him
I Don’t
End of.

Usually the person who initially questions is the more hurt person. ??? ???
You could have easily complimented the video and moved on. But, you were so hurt, you couldn't hold back. :-\ :-\

Jeez you got a real soft spot for him.
Why would I compliment something I don’t find complimentary
It’s you that’s hurt
It’s you who keeps goin on about being hurt
I know let’s not question brads lifts for fear of hurting your feelings
You can reply or not
I don’t care as I’ve grown bored of brad
Please enjoy & hold in high esteem his videos & claims
Peace.

You seem hurt that he may be using fake plates. Why does it matter to you?
Whats not motivating about his video? its 585 x 10 reps. That's impressive!
-

Yep, one month he would look very good, two months pretty damn shredded.

It doesn't always work like that though. I've seen guys who can rep out a weight that's near to their one rep max. If they pull it up once, they can do it a few times. Some of those guys you knew who could pull 495lbs for 15 reps might struggle with 550-600lbs for a single.
OTOH, some guys like me are the opposite. I'm shit at reps but good at singles. For instance, I've deadlifted almost 630lbs as a 1RM but can only get around 12 reps with 400lbs. Anything over 300lbs starts feeling "heavy" for me yet I can still keep adding on weight. :D
It's difficult to gauge just how strong Castleberry is from the video. I'd guess he'd be in or around the 700lb range for a single.
-
I saw a 300KG for 10 pull today, very impressive.
-
Look how much he lifts, how will anyone beat him in MMA?
idk if he can fight, he seemed afraid of a bunch of fat Mexicans
-
::)
No shit Sherlock.
Mike O'hearn is 100% natty and he is just as strong, if not stronger
-
you guys are the fools here - he is doing it for likes "hearts"
1. he handsome AF
2. jacked
3. strong AF
4. and uses some fake plates to make his lifts look super human. are you shocked by a fraud in the fitness industry or any industry?
5. his videos get hits, he loves the attention and plays into the haters
good for him and lol on you dummies

Agreed.
All the big babies "calling him out" about his plates being fake and wanting him to compete ha lol. It's odd how someone on social media can have such an influence on others.
-
I saw a bunch of fat Mexicans confront him once and they called him ''bitch''

He has plenty of fake videos. Look into it and you'll see

Maybe hassles fairies enjoying pounding soft fat asain up the ass
-

Who cares? ??? ??? It has zero influence on my life.
All these powerlifters calling him out, telling him to compete. Why? It doesn't affect their lives or bottom dollar, does it?
I do not care if he has 100 fake videos out there.
-
Yep, one month he would look very good, two months pretty damn shredded.
What do you think of my progress dim?
P.S. I stopped training legs 6 weeks ago and for back I only do very light pulldown
Just started hitting chest and traps hard this week
For the last 8 weeks I only trained arms hard
Was caught up by the Nubbret thread and now i will hit or pecs, traps and arms with Nubrert style Baby
-
Not to be a stickler for detail but he didn`t lock out any of those reps.

Brad Castleberry stated, "The only competition is yourself."
That's right Brad, shut down all the haters trying to call you out.

Mr. Castleberry.......225 for 50 reps. NO getbigger can accomplish this.

Those partials are 100x easier than going full ROM and not only that, but they don’t work the muscle as well on a per rep basis. With the way he’s lifting lots of people can rep over 500. If they switched to full ROM very few can.

Please post one video with someone using this easier technique repping over 500.

Look at any of Jay Master benching vids with the Delray Misfits where he does over 500. Probably most of the videos he's in. He even admits himself that barely anybody can do these weights with full ROM.

Idk who Jay Masters is and I'm not looking for any videos.
Yeah seem like a good poster but you discredit yourself when you make simplistic statements and it sounds like you've never trained.
If doing Casselberry style partials on the bench could allow people you bench 500 pounds in the same manner then we would see people benching that weight all the time (in the gym and on YouTube).
I'm not going to explain the benefit of partials to you but the key to them is use have to be able to handle the weight. They aren't 100x or 10x easier, they are only different.
You comment on working the muscle more on a full ROM as if Castleberry hasn't done all he can to develop his build. What improvements can we expect to see in Brads chest development if he does full range bench press? You think he can add more muscle at this point in his development?
You've exposed yourself here, unless you're trolling in which case you've done an excellent job.

I'm not posting the video because you're not worth me looking for it.
You don't want to be proven wrong so you won't look them up. You want the exposing to be done by you, but you don't want to see it not be fulfilled once you've already went all in. So you'll do anything include deluding yourself so that you can win your case.
Sad...
You would probably never look at a youtube video again if it meant you were proven right about a topic.
"Oh i won't look up a video clearly disproving my point"
"Since i didn't look it up you're wrong and the case still stands"
It's similar to..
"I've never seen it so it didn't happen"
::) ::) ::)
The number of people who can still do the reps are small. But they become even smaller when full ROM is used. Just like how there are people in gyms who put videos on youtube of them doing squats that would do well in a powerlifting meet, but you see hundreds of comments in the comment section about how the lift wouldn't pass in a meet because of X , Y ,Z
I've never lifted? please lol. Look better than virtually everyone that's left posting here including competitors. I've sent pics of myself to people and i'll send to you and we can compare and you will have a worse physique 100%. Happens eveyrtime i do it.

::) you're trolling I get it. I apologize for taking you seriously. I should have figured it out with the 100x times easier line or the look for "Jay Masters from del Ray misfits" comment.

"He uses fake plates to get likes. What's wrong with that?"
Because by doing that he's making a mockery of people who have legitimately trained and done those lifts. He's telling his fans that he's one of the strongest men on the planet, but he's not. He's not admitting to using fake plates, if he was, maybe people would have a different opinion. He's trying to pass these lifts off as legit.
