I feel the plates are real, but what he did would be equivalent to me going to the gym and getting someone to film me squatting 800lbs with 4 spotters. No way I can do it by myself (nowhere close) , but I sure as hell can get a nice strain out of the resistance my spotters don't compensate for.
As far as the dumbells, I think that's real.
All in all, I give him credit for hitting the iron hard (or at least trying)....hope he doesn't tear a pec going WAAAAAYYY beyond his frames limits.
I believe this guy is actually suing a company or something like that for leaking/posting this on youtube, or something to that effect. Saw it on the news last week.
He seems to be a positive, decent guy! I like his attitude.
