You really do talk a lot of shit.
I sure do and I back that shit right the hell up!
Nothing is more pathetic than a bunch of shit talkers who throw a bunch of crap out there but when it is going to hit them in the wallet they clam up and you hear crickets.
Not one person took me up on that 1000 dollar offer, do you know why? Because all of a sudden reality sets in that "oh damn I could not only be wrong here after all I said, but be out 1000 dollars too" I had no problem putting a grand up did I?
Maybe because I know something you dont? Namely that everyone has to check in to the front desk and they would be like "uhhhh what the hell are you doing?" If you tried to walk in with fake plates. The guy lifts like that all the time, whats he going to do bring fake plates with him to the gym 3-4 times a week? Mike Parretta who at one time was battleing it out with Kazmier locally at my old gym Free's powerlifting gym, lifts at my gym too....he at one time was going after the all time record deadlift and nearly got it......lifts at the same gym, are you going to say he uses those same fake weights?
I'll also give 1000 dollars to anyone who shows me saying matter of factly that the Castleberry kid can "definitely bench this" or "definitely squat that". I dont know what the spotters are lifting I dont know what the squatting spotter is helping him with.....and you know what I dont give a crap. I estimated "at least 100 pounds off" with the 585 bench and the 765 squat....what does "at least 100 pounds off" mean to everyone here? It means to me about 100 to 200lbs off on the lift. So what? The kid lifts like an idiot (and it looks like his friends do too according to those videos).....the point is he is a strong kid with exceptional genetics and those plates are 45 pound plates. I told my employee who knows him to tell him I said those are idiotic lifts and bogus, so if I said that myself what the hell are you guys arguing about?
So the one guy who took me up on my bet tried to weasel out of it by having him spot the kid, having him do 675 someone else posted instead of the 585 bench with super spotting link I put up and the other guy who said "Ill prove tommorow that those arent LA fitness 45 pound plates with pics!" Where is he? I PMed you the address even. You went there and discovered that "oh shit Dante was right" and now you say nothing? Convenient.
The general manager there who is there all day is I believe named Brad. I think thats his name...he is there about 12 hours a day. Why doesnt someone call him up and ask him "hey are there fake plates in your gym? Could someone actually walk into your gym with 4 fake plates and go unnoticed?"
Better yet go down there yourself and yell at those guys for not doing "true to themself" lifting. But I still stand to my word that the Brad kid is one strong 21 year old kid, not doubt about that.
My opinion in life is if you shoot your mouth off and cant back your shit up, your opinion means nothing. Fact: those arent fake plates, and fact that kid cant bench 585 by himself without alot of help, no shit. I backed up my word that those plates are 45's, you guys didnt have the balls to--this convo is done.
