    I am 56 yrs old and I weigh 189 lbs. I can bench 625 pounds, Just not all at once
  • @hownot8497
    but atleast he's honest. he does say light weight
  • @Nytrouse
    If he got pulled over between gyms they could arrest him for fake plates
  • When you said Castleberry I was shocked. I have heard it so much; he is legitimately Brad Dingleberry in my mind.
  • There's actually a site that sells fake weights, and markets them for social media use? The world is fucked.
  • @Darin-USMCB--
    Well when I benched 700lbs I didn’t wear straps or a belt, I was actually wearing my favorite comfy pajamas! Had a couple cool dreams last night!
  • @fonsg2948
    I can bench 1000 lbs. But only the down part.😂
  • @Gregobars
    Summarizing what Nick has bestowed upon us: 1) Shifts 700 pounds side to side effortlessly 2) No wrist wrapes 3) Plates are different in backround 4) No arch in back as if it isn’t even heavy 5) Lifts more than one of the strongest bench pressers in the world FOR REPS 6) He is lighter than most powerlifters 7) Brad was offered a very large sum of money to attempt the bench press in a power lifting meet, and he turned down the offer Well no shit it’s fake
  • @AbeAyBay
    Anyone else see they are advertising fake plates on Facebook? Everyone is tagging Bradley Castleberry! LMAOOOO
  • @AidenNeill3
    Easier method to spot fake weights; 1. Is Brad Dangleberry lifting them? If answer = yes - they are fake If answer = no - these are legit weights

    My Daily Routine I wake up Go to the gym Bench 958 pounds Deadlift 1000 I wake up...

    I've spotted a guy close gripping 575 or so and he mangled the fricken bar. It was bent like a recurve bow when we unloaded it. I spot fake weights by bar deflection and whip. 700lbs on a average bargain bar at the 9.99/month gym is going to arch like a bridge.

    If someone brings their own weights to the gym- they're fake.
