Its not great probably like a 400lb benc or so it's still good though maybe he wasn't trying to show off just show fans his training.

Those are real, and for him, it is no big deal, he is pretty strong.  The taking off the shirt and crazy moves is a great ploy that garner's him a lot of fans.  Why not. It works. It worked well at the 2017 Olympia Expo, where he had his booth, and lots of fans taking pictures with him.

Said hello to him, took his pic, and watched him have fun.  Cool thing.

I have seen Steve Cook do 120 pound DB's for 12 reps too at a Boise Gym a few years back, so yes, it is possible.  Funny how people think things are fake.

Looks real.

He clearly is very strong but lifts beyond his max on certain exercises with the help of spotters.

Why doesn't he proves his lifts, when invited?

It's real....no mystery here fellas.

Pressing 120s is super strong for a normal person but common with solid gym rats.
