Anyone see this idiot making the rounds on social media? Posts Instagram videos of doing stuff like 68 reps of 225 and claims to bench 700 pounds.

Only problem is everyone is calling him out for using fake weights. Apparently he smuggles them into gyms like 24 Hour Fitness

This article and video explain it further LINK

quote:

Seemingly minute details visible in slow motion give Castleberry away, according to Miller. "Look how easily he just shifted that 700 pounds on the bar from side to side."

"I find it very hard to believe that 700 pounds would shift that easily, nor do I believe someone would try to shift 700 lbs side to side before they lift it."

quote:

"700 pounds is a world record bench press [at his weight], and this guy is doing for reps and for fun in the gym," Miller says.

Castleberry also refuses to compete in power lifting contests, despite having been offered as much as $10K to enter, win or lose.

The Call-out

Castleberry is M.I.A.

Steroids and fake weights. Dudes nuts must be the size of peas.

For photo shoots, Hatch would pull out some special 20kg plates, but in reality, they were 5kg.

Saw him do it for a Warrick Dunn photo shoot back in the day when he was home for the summer from FSU.

How fricking insecure do you have to be to do something like this? I mean the dude is jacked, and I'm sure pretty damn strong. His regular weight I'm sure would be impressive to most.

Well it sounds like quite a lot of people use fake weights. People doing for those social profile views and what not. Got to make that money.

Girls are using fake weights now too?

I have been fortunate enough to see probably the strongest bodybuilder (Ronnie Coleman) train in person as well as one of the strongest benchers (Tiny Meeker).

Ronnie is like a 6 time Olympia winner. He is also from Bastrop, LA and would come in town back when I lived in Funroe to train and see his family before he packed them up and moved them to Dallas. He would train at Moore's. I have seen him on multiple times hit 790 and this was in an Inzer suit with wraps/belt and Chuck Moore spotting him. This squat in the pic of this douche would be over 900 and he is wearing some cheap arse belt with no spotter and obviously no suit. Complete fake, and the dude is actually big and could probably legit lift some serious weight.

This is more fake than Isaac Nasser

Also insulting when I have seen guys like Garry frank bench press 675 in person, his best was about 840.

Yep, him and Ronnie were both strong as frick. Ronnie would get 225 and do lunges in the parking lot. I know he was on a mega shite ton of gear but still.

Yep but he's a stongman dude. Ronnie and Johnny were competitive bodybuilders. I put strongman guys in another league since they are probably the strongest humans on planet earth that has a population of what 8 billion? That puts them in some pretty rare air.
