Powerliftingwatch gives the raw world record for the squat in the 220lb weight class (no knee wraps, no drug test) as this 730lb squat by Jesse Kellum: /watch?v=J_wIOrkndyE
We'll need to write to Powerliftingwatch and Mr. Kellum to inform them that the record has been broken by 20-something Mr. Castleberry so they can update their record books.
This is real. I've trained at LA Vista and I've seen Brad burry over 650 LBS for reps these are NOT fake plates...be serious people, it's a damn gym who drags in fake plates to a gym? The guy is a freak of nature.
Those are 8 45lb plates per side. That's a 765 squat, though he did have assistance from his spotters, at least a litte. That was a damn good deep squat.
For the naysayers, the bar shows the proof. Bars don't bounce like that when you rack them with 405 lbs. I know I rack 405 on the squat. Watch at the end of the video, that bar is bouncing when he racks it. This was an honest lift.
@eyesack9 And bumper plates arent real weights? Even if they were bumper plates the total weight would still be 765. Now take your head out of your ass.
btw guys if you think this is real, you should consider that the POWERLIFTING world record raw squat for 220 is less than this. This is fucking bodybuilder
even with the shitty video quality you can tell those are 25lb rubber weights. most gyms have them for olympic lifts or any time you're gonna be dropping the bar. even so it's about 450lbs which is more than i can do.
theres a kid at my school who weighs 160 and did 800+ or some shit. has the world record. I couldn't tell u if he's using roids, but he did it in competition and He did the weight just as easy as this guy.
I used to lift at the gym this video was shot at (LA Fitness in Vista, CA) a few years ago, and the weight he's putting up is legit. Before I found better places to lift and was still stuck at LA Fitness, I'd often see him putting up huge numbers. I have no clue how he got as strong as he got training like a bodybuilder, but these are legit lifts and he's certainly not using fake plates or having his spotters do the work...although I'm positive the guy was juiced out of his mind.
@Omegalactic also Rob Wilkerson is squatted 835 belt only...also I found some Israeli vidoe who squatted 900 plus raw in the same manner as Pat but lost the video gonna find it for you...you said Siders, Rezza, and Misha would have a tough time doing this squat as deep and as fast but I don't think so...is Brad strong? YES, but not as strong as those guys...and what separates the best from the rest is just that little bit...
you guys are fucking idiots think brad uses fake plates or juice. Its hard work eating right, going to the gym 4 times a day and making that ur life. i'm his brother and i can assure you that these plates are real and fucking heavy, anyone that thinks they can do better post your own video.
hey pussyberry check the vid 825 raw squat or kevin nee's vids so you can learn something i would like to see you against greg panora or chuck v you fucking weak bitch
@saliousifsa He's not a powerlifter hes a bodybuilder you stupid fuck. Not to mention hes 20, how old is Kevin Nee? How heavy is Kevin Nee? Yea shut your face you jelous tool
Hahahha! This kid is called a 'fake', but bitch-tits Coleman is ... real? Yeah Buddy. Everyone takes Coleman's claims at face value. Coleman wasn't an 'elite' power-lifter before bodybuilding, neither is Castleberry, but the kid is very strong. He was strong when he started lifting. Lots of jealous people here. Anyway, true powerlifters would of course whip him or Coleman. It's just that Coleman shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as top powerlifters, but idiots do it all the time.
hmm I don't know. I would have to see him at an official meet to believe thee numbers. I don't see how he can look so effortless in such a deep squat with so much weight. he is not a koklyaev.
I'm not one to hate but I'm having a lot of trouble believing that someone that size could squat that much. If he can do that then he should have all kinds of powerlifting records. Ronnie outweighs this kid by a good 60-70lbs at minimum and for this kid to be that close seems impossible. I would love to be there in person to see that squat.
Oh come on. He probably weighs about 220 or so, and looks like maybe 5'8" or 5'9". There's been lots of powerlifters squat that much or more at his size or even smaller. Just do some searches on youtube and you'll find plenty of heavy squating "small" guys.
This video was outed a long time ago as fake. Just do some google searches on it. And basically no, there is only maybe 1 guy that is close to 220 that can squat this raw and that is Sam Byrd. So no, you don't know what you are talking about.
very strong squat, he has the body for powerlifting not for bodybuilding, and if this is real he should pursue powerlifting, he literally has a horrific built , he would NEVER be a good bodybuilder, hes too short, his arms are too short, and he looks like a creature ffrom willy wonka
fucking fake just like most of his videos he needs like 150 pounds and couple inches on thigs to be able to do that.the true is that he has always some real and some fake plates on the bar thats all
Because hossein rezazadeh, brian siders, and michael koklyeav would have a tough time burying 765 that deep, and coming up that fast . If these names are foreign to you, you have no business commenting on anything bodybuilding, powerlifting, or olympic lifting.
and btw muscle missions is in no way "natural", no doubt he is an accomplished bodybuilder, and i have respect for him, but when he starts posting fake lifts and claims to be natural, he loses credibility
I know who all those guys are. If u bothered going to my profile u would have noticed that i'm subscribed to Koklyeav's videos. I've also worked out with British strongman Oli Thompson. I just dont see what Bradley would achieve by posting videos of himself using fake weights.
Supplement deals/ just to get his name out there,so he can fool impressionable teenagers to buy micronized sawdust. Not to mention dvd footage, which he could also sell to impressionable people. Do you know how many female bodybuilders have fake videos of them benching 505 or something like that, then bending a barbell?These videos sell to people with some sorta fetishes, you can say the same thing about male bbing. Look at that faggot brad synthol hollibaugh. The term is MUSCLE WORSHIP.
Haha! Yeah, i've seen that video where the woman benches 500 on an incline and bends the barbell lol. I have to admit i found it hard to believe Bradley could squat so much (in such good form) when far more accomplished strongmen would struggle with that weight. However, i just assumed he's an honest enough guy. I mean, posting videos of yourself using fake weights is absolutley pathetic.
This is exactly right. If anyone would bother to look up the numbers that some of the best powerlifters in the world hit RAW at the NERB a couple of years ago, they would know this is fake ass shit. Castleberry is a douche bag and always has been.
@Omegalactic My comment is a year old ...............Pat hadn't done his 800 pound squat at that time. Beau Moore, Donnie Thompson, and Pat are the only people i've seen in this day and age that can squat 800 belt and sleeve only.
@finalresistance Pat did not use a belt...he did it at 20 yrs old...and you say Rezzazedeh would have a tough time doing what Brad just did here??? don't insult us with your ignorance...search Koklaeyev squats and you'll find him doing more than this BY HIMSELF...
Dude I said this video is FAKE. FAKE because I refuse to believe some bodybuilder that is 100 pounds less than Brian Siders effortlessly squatted 765 when that was Brian Sider's highest squat at New England Record Breakers. (If I recall correctly). You completely misunderstand me.
Brian Siders real plates
Brad Castleberry fake plates (or perhaps 25lb bumpers that are supposed to look like45lbers)
@finalresistance yeah it's a fake claim cause Brads getting some help from those 3 guys and they can take over a 100lbs of resistance off with a little help...i don't think the plates are fake...i mean look when they rack it those weight rattle hard...also I gotta find the video of that israeli lifter squatting 900 plus ass to grass with only a belt and no suit...fuckin insane...
@finalresistance also, he's walking it out and bearing the weight so he's getting used to the feel of 765 eventually like anything you get used to it and stronger and eventually he'll do it without any human assistance...i mean I've walked out with a weight beyond my 1 rep max and I'll come down with it and dump it...part of training is getting a feel for something beyond a 1 rep max and attempting it to the furthest extent...there's no failure just success!
i dont know what everyone is saying.. but if you want to know i walked by this kid in a parking lot and he is the Biggest kid i have ever seen. people were like hey its arnold schwarzenneggar!!!
just to set the record straight since you get a lot of drunk idiots on this site who just post responses that they have no business posting. Those are real weights and watching him in Miami 2007 proves it.
