The people who believe the weights in his videos are real are those who train in the same gyms as him.  
I don't know exactly why he doesn't enter a meet. I'd imagine that he's getting a lot of assistance from his spotters so his lifts at a PL meet would be considerably lower then what he uploads on Instagram. Perhaps he doesn't want the mystique surrounding his strength to be exposed as he thinks it will affect his online popularity?


He can easily silence all the doubters if he does a vid showing him loading up the bar plate by plate before doing his set right after

No camera tricks, no editing, straight shot

We all know it will most likely never happen cause he's hiding something

Did u see him bench 700 or a double with 675?

Afterwards did u help re rack the plates and got lunch at the local chipotle?

I know a reliable source who saw him bench a double with 675.

And don't be silly, Brad hates Chipotle.

Dinkleberry is a liar and a cheat. Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. It doesn't matter whether the plates are made of teflon, in any case, he's not lifting the weight by himself. Nor will he ever be able to come close to replicate it in a "meet". Not that it matters, since he doesn't compete. Nor is it in his interest to do so.

Just your general dickhead making a buck off gullible people, let him be.  ::)

Like I said have him post a vid of him loading up the plates before doing a set, should silence his doubters quick

Simple and easy

U seem to know him pretty well if u know he hates chipotle  :D

Not buying this reliable source with absolutely no proof

So extraordinary are the lifts that I call horseshit.

I mean, what does this turd even weigh?

As well, anyone intimately familiar with training with 600-plus poundages knows there are very telling "actions" to such a ponderous barbell. Whether it be those on a rack, back or whatever.

Very few have the knowledge and experience to make claim to lift validity.

Not sure, but they're not difficult to find, I know. When I was an editor at MuscleMag, we'd routinely employ them in photoshoots, as it's next to impossible for anyone to keep up with hoisting ANY weight for the length of time these shoots run.

Curling even 15-pound dumbells becomes a challenge when you've been doing it on and off for an hour, dozens of reps at a time.

all the shit ive seen in this sport/hobby/profession/life sucking endeavor/ ive never run across them. shocked no one has posted an add for fake plates on one of the many forums ive been on over the years.

i know bumper plates can confuse the average person etc etc

I think Dante Doggcrapp has said the plates are real, he trains at that gym iirc. Though I did argue with Dante years ago when he thought Brad was honest when he claimed natural. "Brad has decided to never juice, he's going to concentrate on football" or something like that. Brad then admitted to using "pro-hormones" and "pro-steroids" and Dante's response was, "I guess you think prohormones is juicing". Well yeah, I do and I don't think that was the full extent of it either even back then. But anyway, I don't think Dante would lie about that.

Not to say I trust a guy like Brad, and I haven't looked at all his vids so I don't know. I'm sure he's strong and a lot of the lifts are partial and assisted so keep that in mind.

It's like Priest ... whom I like, by the way.

He claims some purely fictional lifts, too. He says he squatted 765 for five or something, and this lie is so ridiculous it's embarrassing. To make it worse, he says he did it as a teen. Well, there's a video of him as a teenager squatting about 500, and anyone who's seen it can vouch the reps are so shallow they're not even in the ballpark of legit.

Again, someone who knows the outer limits of human strength as it has existed these past few decades knows these claims are beyond goofy.

Just look at the men that are lifting huge weights They don't hide from
Competing / lifting at Proper organised meets They Don't Refuse - Why would they.

have you heard of JM Blakely?

he was one of the bench kings back in the 90s

he was officially benched over 700 pounds in a sanctioned meet, shirted of course

anyways, I was his liftoff man at a meet back in the late 90s and he pressed 440 @ 220 and that is from a world class bencher

so these guys claiming these huge ass lifts are full of fucking shit

I was with Coan and Kaz when they challenged Kovacs to enter a meet to prove the published strength claims. Greg just mumbled himself about the conversation and removed himself from our vicinity as soon as possible.

Can you imagine? Ed and Bill calling you out on your horseshit?

Look, these men are all clearly extremely strong and powerful, but there's a limit to what (the knowing) will buy.

Ha ha - Yet another one - Greg Kovacks - Jeez How many bought into his Ridiculous claims.
Yes sure he was a mountain of a man & with his Bodyweight should've been capable of some
Reasonable poundage.

Good on Bill & Ed for calling him out - As expected when confronted by true world class
Strong men - kovacks Fcuks off.!!!

Heaven forbid a white person defend their race.

As to white supremacy, are you suggesting other races achieved as much as whites did?  ::)
