Brad Castleberry

[Fallsview]

People love this guy. He's extremely good for bodybuilding and promoting the sport. Has done more for bodybuilding in one hour than Coach and his carpet grass gym has in a decade. Sorry...just stating the obvious.





STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Van_Bilderass]

LOL yea thats exactly what I said....jesus....""Brad has decided to never juice, he's going to concentrate on football" or something like that"......ok...thats not what i said but who cares........

Well, maybe not exactly but something like that 

In fact I believe the decision has already made from what I hear.....doesnt want to juice and so he is done competing because Musclemania was getting him nowhere and he knows he cant go into the NPC and win naturally......so I hear he is trying to pursue a pro football career as a fullback instead....and actually has lined up some tryouts and connections for himself going that route.

But anyway, I mostly like you Dante, despite me arguing with you, and I believe the weights thing

Besides the lifts he makes,  that mothafucker has an amazing leaping ability for his size and weight

Yes, and that can't be faked.

the guy can jump

and because he can jump

it naturally follows that every lift is real !

No, America was founded and established by settlers.

Yes, settlers who migrated from Europe, mostly England, France and Spain.
Migrated = immigrant.

I really don't see race as a thing to be proud of. Its all chance. I'm proud of accomplishments, not what I was given or not given by chance. I'm sure if I was black or Asian or whatever I'd still want to be the best version of myself and work with what I've got. White supremacists, black supremacists, Asian supremacists (is that a thing? I'll assume it is) are just people who have nothing else going for them, so they blame all the bad things in life on other races and all they have to be proud of is being whatever colour/ethnicity/geographical location they were born in. Its kind of sad... But I guess if I had nothing going for me in life I might feel the same way, too.

Settlers weren't migrants, since the US at the time did not have an established society (entailing infrastructure, government and so). Hence, being different from migrants who move from one society to another. Two entirely different circumstances, with different legal implications.

There are only a handful of 700lb benchers in humanity's history and Fratley Dinkleberry ain't one of em.

[ratherbebig]

Dude is a total douche poodle. Another internet conman.

[Fortress]

Guy can press 405 for several reps. VERY strong. But nowhere NEAR a legit 500-pound bench.

Hi brad

[Coach is Back!]

LOL yea thats exactly what I said....jesus....""Brad has decided to never juice, he's going to concentrate on football" or something like that"......ok...thats not what i said but who cares........ Oh man I cant even believe im talking about this guy again....why do i even bother. Let me straighten everyone out here ok.

a)He is 29-30 years old now. He weighs about 245-255 now. Back when he was 19-21 he was competing at 192-203 or something like that. He swore to me he was natural at that bodyweight....and his training partners swore it to me too. Obviously he is blasting nowadays. To make Van Bilderass happy Im going to say this "he was probably straight out bullshitting me" back then...I really dont care but seeing Van Bilderass bring this up every year for the last decade, there you go....you are right, I am wrong. He was probably lying to me. He is much bigger now and much leaner now than back then but he was probably lying his ass off...ok now that that is out of the way.

b) Nobody here in San Diego give a crap about this guy like people on the internet do. Yea its annoying as hell what he does and how he acts in his videos....he isnt making good money....Instagram likes and followers does not equal money made

c) He is ungodly strong. Yea its pretty shocking how strong he is at that lean of a bodyweight. He is starting to get injured more and more so its probably going to come back at him as he gets into his 30's

d) There is no fake weights here. Dont take my word for it, he isnt hard to find as someone else said on this thread.....there was just a thread on this on Geard up newsgroup where 4 other people who lift in the same gyms besides me said the same thing. You could not bring fake weights into these gyms. The picture of him in front of the squat rack...thats 24 hour fitness on sycamore in vista. You would have to walk thru the parking lot with fake weights, past the front desk, thru the TRX section, up two flights of stairs, and then all the way the length of the gym to get to the squat rack with fake weights in front of everyone in the gym to get there. It is not happening

e) He cannot bench 675. He cannot squat whatever is on the bar in front of the squat rack picture. There are no fake weights here. He is not hard to find..he lifts at 10am in the morning at 3-4 gyms here in North County San Diego. I lifted in the same gym with him for 10 years at the same time, I couldnt even count how many times ive seen him train. He doesnt even bring in a gym bag nevermind fake weights...the only thing Ive ever seen him walk thru the front door with is a phone...thats it. I have seen him deadlift 7 plates each side for reps probably 40 times. I have seen him do 4-5 plates plus each side on the bench press probably 200 times. I have seen him do 4 plate plus inclines probably 200 times. I know ive seen him do a 495 incline for i think 2 reps. Ive seen him do dips with five 45's on the dip belt. Ive seen him do 3 plates each side on ez bar tricep extensions for reps.....and a bunch of other stuff. He has insane genetics for strength and jumping ability.

f) his diet sucks...every single guy reading this post would have 25-30lbs more muscle mass on himself with this guys genetics because his diet to gain muscle mass is awful. But his genetics allow him to make gains but he should be much bigger. His triceps arent great...and in person he is much smaller than a IFBB pro of the same height. Regardless he is seriously strong. But again any getbigger who knows how to eat would be bigger with this guys genetic gifts. Its not fair but it is what it is.

g) Ok here is the gist of it. He does super spotting and half reps. I have no idea why he feels 500lbs lifted by himself in the bench press is not impressive but I guess he does. So these pictures and videos you see he is doing super spotting...which mean his training partner is pulling up the bar by 150-200lbs on the bench and doing the same if not more on the squats. That is it explained....they are pulling up on the bar and making it look like he is lifting way more than he can actually lift. I have no idea why he does it...i guess for instagram likes or whatever....but that is what is going on.

This video right here is exactly what is going on....I cannot even explain it any more clearer. The weights are real...but there is serious super spotting going on. Its been going on for years and years.

Then if he's not making good money then why not take the $10k offered win or lose?

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Anybody know what NFL team he supposedly played in two games in? lmao What's his backround in football(high school and college). Or is this guy claiming he walked on with no experience at all?

Says he participated in 2 Nfl games in this bio. lol

Pretty sure it said combines not games. Regardless, if he signed up for a proday ($100 w/o an agent) he could have done them. Could have been NFL or CFL. He was no more than a JUCO player so regardless of his numbers he wouldn't have got a call...from any team.

Correction on this....

This is complete and utter BULLSHIT...

"He also says he did the NFL combines before even participating in junior college football. Something just doesn’t add up there"

If he actually did a NFL combine the guy would finish dead last

The Hebrews would wipe the floor with this guy

[Ronnie Rep]

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.

He's also listed at 5'10. Which means most likely 5'9. That's basically midget territory for the NFL. Impossible to even get looked at at 5'9 in the NFL unless you were a legit running back in a div 1 college with great numbers. And this guy went around saying he was going to be a fullback in the NFL. lmao. He's probably one of those turds who said he would fight Mike Tyson for charity.(EVery State has one of those fools). Castleberry has all the traits of a pathological liar. Probably has two to three regular old timers a day asking him if he ever played football. He got sick of saying no so he ran with the idea that he played in the NFL.
