the mark that it's a fake, so i've been told, is that the bar bounces far too much when he re-racks it after benching. that said, it's entirely possible they just used a cheaper bar for the bench to make it look more impressive because a 572 bench is damn impressive, but far less incredible than the squat and deadlift so i don't get why they wouldn't just give him a 300kg bench. also if you look at just HOW his lifts go, he's clearly lifting at or near his maximal ability on every lift so even if they are fake we're talking some weird method that gives him his max lifts while adding more fake plates for added impressiveness.
given that guinness has verified it, i'm saying it's hard to tell. the fact that he hasn't entered sanctioned meets means fuck all. of course he doesn't look nearly as developed as his compatriots in that level of lifting, so that doesn't speak well for it. then again, i'm a touch inebriated so who knows. i'd LIKE to think it's real, but that doesn't mean it is.
