Anyone know the brands used on his bumper plates? Then we could get an accurate weight on the bar.

I got 445lbs if those bumper plates conform to the standards. No where near 500lbs for the deadlift.

Hard to tell - i have a set of 55 lb competition bumpers that look like 45s at certain angles.  Could easily be the case here.

I removed my post because while there is an olympic weightlifting competition standard for bumper plate colors I've run into different colors from different manufactures.  Red is always 55lbs in Olympic and blue is 45lbs. I own 55lbs bumpers that are black and I own 35lbs bumpers that are black so there is no standard in America.  No way to tell the weight by looking at it.

On a side note the Cuomo reporter from CNN is always putting out video of himself lifting. Looks like he was doing military presses with 225lbs but I bet a bet  I was deceived by the bumper plates he was using. It more likely a lot less weight than that. No way was he doing full range military presses with that weight.

My 55s are black as well.

Cuomo specializes in being full of shit, so wouldn't surprise me if he has the fat bumpers that are actually 25s.

He lifts mostly on Klokov Bumpers -

Nothing wrong with them, they followed the color code, they were beautifully designed bumpers, but the brand didn't survive.

The thin orange yellow bumper is a Fringe Sports Pizza novelty plate, they're 10lbs a piece -

Edit at 2:37, the black might be a Rogue #55, unless he swapped it in the jump cut, there's also a thin pair of 10lb irons -

4 x 25kg, 2 x 20kg, 2 x 15, 2 x 10kg, 4 x 10lbs + Bar = #504/505lbs.
