At 495 pounds that bar should have bent a little at least, it did not, then at the end when he re-rakced it, he is low on the right side, he just lifts it up with his arm like it was nothing................. ....

Shit, even 315 bends a little.  No bend at 500?  Bullshit.

[The_Schofeild_Kid]

haha. what a tool.

lower the weight and do something for your quads you twat.

Powerlifting isn't just about strength but its also about technique.  Most lifters could squat more weight if they used proper technique

Vince ,when is your next show?

[bigbiceps]

That's legit but he could go down lower though.  He can do a lot more weight.  It's not that difficult to do 5 plates if you really train for it like a powerlifter.  On the bench is a different story that would be hard as hell.

Might be a stupid question, but why is that bar not bending?  Always bends with that much weight.

Thanks.  That is what I figured.  495 always bends the bar

Bullshit, I don't know what bar he is using, but a texas bar sure as hell isn't bending from 495.

IS that the video where he unracks 500lbs by doing a calf raise?

Didn't you know that bosnian steel is stronger than kryptonite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100% correct.  I have no idea why these guys think is fake.  I guarantee I have trained at more gym around the world than most of you guys if not all and I have only seen fake plate in one gym.  Why in the world would a gym have fake plates.  This just looks like a gym not a place where magazines come in and do photoshoots.  The guys who say 495 ALWAYS bends the bar really have you ever seen 495 on a Texas Bar.  It depends on what kind of bar they are using.  If a gym wants to save money they will go out and buy cheaper bars and they will bend.  But go to a gym with serious powerlifters in it that convince the owner to buy the best olympic bars and you won't see a bending bar to much.  Man, I can't believe some of you.  And do you think doing 495 for 3 reps is something special for a guy under 200.  Save some money and go to a real gym.  You guys are not training in the right place.   Hope this helps.

Exactly. I've never seen a fake plate in my life.

[The Squadfather]

not "fake" plates but there are some 15 and 25 pound bumper plates that are the same size as typical 45 pound plates.

[MoralMan]

At my gym theres a pair of 5kg/12lb bumper plates that are as big as 20kg/45s, and the same colour.
The powerlifters throw them at each other when messing with newbies!

[MoralMan]

And onlyme in your world of magic and fantasy a 5 plate a side squat by a sub 200lb man may not be good but in the real world there arent many men sub 200 that can squat 5 a side raw, believe me

at 495 our bar bends...and it's got a TS of 1500lbs. Hell even walking out 405 the bar with bend and flex a little on anyone.

Looks legit. Size isn't necessarily related to strength.  Look at those skinny chinese olympic weightlifters front squating like 4-500.
