Brad Castleberry has nearly 750k followers on Instagram, but the super-jacked lifter has encountered some criticism among the online lifting community. Castleberry has been accused of using fake weights in his training videos, well simply because the weights that he lifts are astronomical…
This is very interesting comparison video by Williams Fitness, let’s see how he compares to the real world strongman champion Eddie Hall.

Can’t stand Brad Casselberry if not for anything else for the simple fact that he’s literally the biggest tool ever never seen so much machismo bravado bullshit in my life keep your damn shirt on bro
Worry about your own soft body lol
Paul Moore no one is talking to you Nurse Betty.
Paul Moore your quick to judge
A nurse on roids, abusing meds are you? Someone should inform you employer.
A nurse on roids? That’s some assumption. He just got them good black genetics. Castleberry is just trolling everyone, bad publicity is still publicity………concentrate on yourself only you matters!!
Kinda clever bloke Dontchya think? Here we are hating on him and he’s capitalizes on it. No publicity is bad publicity. He’s a tool it’s his character for vids and it’s making him money. We could just forget about him and move on. But every time GI comes out with a piece on him, everyone wants to chime in and say out their sense in. And the irony is were actually putting in cents for him. So who’s the real clown??? We are. Because ive trolled him before. Why are we so worried about his lifting??? This Advertising strategy is so old yet everyone fall’s into it playing along. And the media capitalizes off our small minds lol it’s sad. Brad and others know this. So the moral is if it makes money and it makes sense then why not. And it does make sense. You dont have to like or agree with it. But the strategy is sound.
Matthew Hands an assumption with an assumption?
Do you even en lift???
LET HIM LIVE HIS LIFE IN DISNEYLAND… SOME PEOPLE CAN NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST 😀

Shirt off pants down every time what an absolute douchebag
totally 🙂
Awe definitely using fake weights he makes it look way to easy to be legit
Yeah!:)
Brad should b murdered….
Well true by logic as ppl been killed for a lot less
Eddie is king
Not very good comparisons, but this actually legitimizes Brad. If Eddie can squat 345kg for 8, then it doesn’t sound too far-fetched that Brad can do 320kg once.
Yeah:)
Eddie Hall is 6’3 410lbs
Castleberry is 5’10 245lbs.
He is using fake weights.
Those numbers in the video were all wrong aswell, those were 20kg plates not 25s hall is benching 260 not 320 and brad deadlifts 300 not 370 in the vid also his squat is only 260 not 320
So this average sized dude is the work record holder in every lift? Lol
Who else loves diet plans ?
I’m confused is this part of his strategy to get recognition to promote himself as a douche lmao
The guys a bellend lol
fake weights = fake personality
Until this fucking tool Castleberry actually lifts with someone like Eddie Hall, Mark Bell or Stan Efferding then no one can take the dud seriously!
People take you seriously in the weightlifting world? Lol
Paul Moore no one is talking to you Nurse Betty.
Perfect example of stop making stupid people famous. Brad is a tool and Eddie worked his ass off for years to achieve his goals
Mel M Mulenga
Dont like him??
Eddie made that look so easy
He’s a wanker I know why Joe Donnelly hates him ?
This is the idiot who got put in his place by 2 big mexcians and a show right? Haha
Yeah same guy haha
??? yeah Joe hates the prick
I wish Eddie Hall would beat this guys ass or somebody haha he’s the most annoying person in the fitness world aside from Kali muscle.
Kardashin of weight training
Chris R MooreAdam Grimes Eddie halls unreal
What if everyone in the fitness and powerlifting community is using fake weights?
He s fake
What does this video prove… So Brads an idiot. He’s still jacked…. The dude works his ass off none the less… His lifts are big but nothing compared to Eddie’s…. All the haters Brad has if his shit was fake someone would have proved it by now…
Dun understand the mentality of using fake weights but he still is jacked as f
Wether his lifts are legit or not what difference does it make? Focus on improving yourself and let the internet sensations be just that, unless you actually are jealous of the attention they recieve?This video is pointless. Its not like Castleberry has claimed to be stronger than Eddy Hall.
Derpppp
Preach ??
Yes he has thats why everyone got on his dumb ass. If fake weights not important they are to brad Casselberry. Lift real weight stop trying to make the world you do to get attention and popularity. Know your shit before you speak before you come out looking like a jackass. Nobody is jealous of a wanna be juiced up boy. If he’s a strong as he says he is prove to the world.
Derka derka
If they are fake, don’t claim them as real. That’s the point. He acts like a lifter, thus belitteling all real lifters.
Do you know they or fake or real? Sascha doubt it because your not there
He’s claimed to be the strongest man alive….and yet…he isn’t…fake accolades are NOT deserving of attention!
Hate how hes fucking making money out of it haha ??
The Beast would eat Castleberry for breakfast….
Idk if the weights are fake or not but I’m just trying to think practically that gym is full of ppl… does he just walk in with fake weights ? (Brad that is) and nobody bats an eye ? Also the bar is clearly bending im not a fan of brad but how do you fake that and if he did wouldn’t someone have video or picture evidence of it by now ?
When he does these lifts not all of the weights are fake just some, thats why the bar still bends. He can probably put up some decent weight just not record setting weight every lift.
Chris Miera ok sure but again a fake 45 is the same size as a normal 45. How do u sneak it into a gym full of ppl ? And what about the dumbells your telling me these dudes just pull out big ass fake dumbells and there is so far zero pictures or videos of them doing this ? Again I’m just playing devils advocate here
Million dollar gyms have photo shoot type weights, they have weight to them, just enough to make it look heavy. There’s no way you have a WORLD RECORD bench and never compete at all.
That’s like being floyd mayweather and never fighting a day in his life but claiming he’s the greatest
Ok but I’m sure the photo shoot type weights are in a totally different section right ? I agree with you he’s not breaking any world records. But I also see a lack of evidence proving he’s lifting fake weights.
Did u watch the video? Hes benching 800 lbs+ without any wrist wraps or belt. The guy with the world record bench weighs 160kg+ (alot more than brad) and his world record is only 335kg. Try and tell me those weights are real and ill laugh uncontrollably
The only evidence you need is what you already admitted to. You just said “Okay sure” to the fact you know hes not breaking world records. Well then just by saying that you must be admitting some or all of the weights on the bar are fake. Otherwise he would be breaking world records.
My answer to this why did he bail out of two big ass charity events to prove his weights? If he can actually lift the weight he claims
Michael Hitchlock shut up already with this evidence bullshit. You’re a Casselberry fan boy trying to stick up for him. You want evidence. Casselberry has been challenged ask to do a lift off for charity. For the veterans man and woman that serve this country and you know what he does a no show. Need more evidence than that. According to people that know Casselberry he brings his own weight to gym. Everyone talking about it. You’re the only gullible one riding Casselberry that hard smh. You’re so gullible you really believe he’s benching 600 pounds for reps you must be out your freaking mind.
Watch anybrral lifter watch James strickland bench 600 plus. Then watch him bench you’ll see the difference.
Also when he has almost 700 on the bench he adjusts it side to side like it’s nothing. Bull shit! Even on a powerlifting squat rack with freaking rollers you still have to put some effort into it to adjust it. He’ll even the sound of thed plates is off. Please use logic
Strength cartel just recently called him out as well
Any idiot can clearly see the dumbells are fake. The spotter leans over to quick and way to forward with zero effort cause they are light as fuck. When he stands up with them there is zero effort because they are light as fuck. 100% faking it.
There’s a bar in our gym that’s like a croissant and it ain’t got a single disk on it haha
Michael Hitchlock you think he doesn’t have all access
Michael Hitchlock they may not have big enough dumbells so he brings them in (fake)
Michael Hitchlock the lack of evidence is that he never takes up offers for a free trip to go to a gun and price he’s that strong
The dude looks pretty average. Wouldn’t he be big?
Watch a world record deadlift then watch Brad’s. There’s a monster difference. Brad does have weight on the bar just not the amount he’s claiming
Get his nuts out of ur mouth bro
Listen you dumb fucks read all my fucking comments and replies I’m not a fan of brad in the least in fact I fucking hate him. I’m just fucking pointing out that I don’t see where / how he gets fake weights out without someone video taping it. So y’all fuckers believe in aliens just cause someone claims they are real !? Nah you want solid evidence and since I don’t lift in a fancy ass gym I ain’t hip to photo shoot weights. In fact every photo shoot I ever seen ppl use real weights. And the only barbells I’ve ever touched are solid steel and won’t bend easily. Jesus I’m jus being practical you triggered fucks chill
VRamirez Manny Angel dude I don’t follow brad close enough to know he’s even been challenged in fact until Olympia 2017 I never even knew who he was. I looked and looked and couldn’t find any proof he uses fake weights I could give two shits if he does or not. I merely stated what I was thinking practically getting fake weights in a gym with nobody seeing is t something you can do in the gyms I fuck with.
You know you can permanently bend a bar right? And it will stay bent no matter what kind of weights you put on. Buffalo bars are a real thing
u got me open ur link..dafuq

Eddie hall will crush him.
Mcschnitzel Nick ha ha
Hahahaha. It’d be funny if Eddie hall visited his booth at an expo ?
He should stop doing cocaine or whatever he takes next to roids… yeah and also stop these fake weights
This that idiot I was talking about yesterday
Martyn Hinks Andy Hughes
Marcus Kay you can tell it’s fake by the bend in the bars. On bench and deadlifts because even at 190 kg deadlifts that I do the bar bends more
It’s fake weights but different barbells bend different depends on material and what type of lifts they were designed for.
Cody Ferguson fair enough but no matter what when your benching like 350 kg the bar will surely bend more than that! But yeah it’s definitely fake weights. Pure spoon
Aleksandar Kojic Ruben Nicolasen die. Gozer is zo nep als maar kan
I’m pretty sure you don’t get as big as he is by using fake weights…
SMH
Confused about why these two are compared to each other.
Eddie Hall is a national treasure. Fuck knows who the other guy is ! ! !
Settle it once and for all. Do a head to head sanction comp between the two. If everyone ignores Dangleberry maybe he’ll go away. My money is on Hall tho
Ryan Williams Tom Henshall
I can’t stand the guy but….
You don’t get a body like that lifting fake weights.
I often wonder how he carrys all these fake weights through a busy gym does a really over the top noisey video carrys them out again and nobody ever notices or comes forward with a video of him doing it.
Like I said I can’t stand him but I don’t base my opinion on hate.
Golds gym and multi million dollar gyms have photo shoot weights to prevent fatigue with athletes. Still weight to em, yes he obviously has worked for his build.
No one ever said he is weak…. He just isn’t as strong as he claims
He has videos where the plates on the bar isn’t even the plates the gym has in the background.
Some good gear and normal weight training that’s all he does. He isn’t that big. He may be about 5’6″ and 190 lbs that isn’t impressive i see kids do that year end and year out and then vanish from the gym. He just an average gear head. Nothing special about him.
Umm yea.. simple google search came up w 5′ 10″ 245lbs. Wtf gym are you going to where that’s the everyday norm? The kid may be a douche but he is a massive individual..
Kyle Steere noway he is 5’10” 245
I’ve never seen anyone his size at any gym.

Think about this Brad Castleberry. Your legacy will be one of a liar and a fraud. Go ahead and try and sleep at night you punk bitch

I see what you’re saying. But people who hate him only give him attention. We don’t buy his merch or buy his sponsors merch. We don’t go to his booth at the fitness expos. He has a fantastic physique and if he just came out and said I actually lift this much (I’m sure it’s still more than most of us) We’d probably all see him in a different light. He does get quite a bit of attention and maybe he likes being hated. I just think that can only take you so far.
Exactly James! And he’s pretty much keeping that mouth shut because someone is endorsing his lies and getting attention is as good as giving him money. Look what happened to that chick off of Dr. Phil. She’s multi million dollar artist now because sadly there are people who support that. Its just the name of the game. In everything I think. He would probably have a much more solid and honest fan base like Kai Greene. But it’s his way of cashing in on his “douche bag act” maybe it’s become him now. Maybe he really is just that. Money can change alot about a person. In a sense you almost have to be a jerk to put up with the hate. Like a self defense. But to each their own. Everyone’s got a hussle. Some just benefit better. And that’s where envy is born.

That bloke is a fucking bell whiff
He is a little kid for Eddie hall
Watch it ! Eddie hall fucking hell
Jay Dosanjh
Yet half of the Internet warriors have more than 20% body fat. But that’s none of my business.
And? Do you have a point?
Scott Jacobsen Josh Powell this ass hat don’t even lift.
Nigga lifts das twinkies tho….
Someone needs to take him to the icu. He just got burned.
Please tell me you clicked on his name…and saw that weak ass sketch of him “muscled up”. DeadAF
Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt bruh
Everyone in here running their dick washers are tiny. Such authority to be such small pups. A truly entertaining read…and I mean the comments.

Maybe he doesn’t really claim anything. Maybe he is just fucking with us all!! Just to be talked about and everyone falls for it
Look at the bars and how they bend and weights move .Brads shit is fake !!
Laura Roque.vea la diferencia
How is this a versus? Eddie Hall (legit) end of story.
Brad Castleberry can do strict curls for reps with 495 pounds. How can anyone claim to be stronger than him?
Lol
Imagine having to bring your own weights with you to every gym
Dani Yal
Nick Newton
David Hicks
This video just made me realize Brad is at several different gyms but always using same shape plates, and all the other plates in gym are round/different style.
If youre focusing on Brad youre losing focus on yourself.
The difference is that Brad Castleberry is an absolute bellend that disrespects any lifter that has actually achieved those lifts and he really ought to grow up. Eddie Hall is actually the World’s Strongest Man, simple as that. 320 kg bench for 6 reps with no spotter! FFS
People think this dude brings in that many plates without a single person noticing and I find that hilarious. Now toolbag hell yes overutilized spotter sure but guys he uses two dumbells in each hand on shoulder press you telling me he brings fake dbs in too? We can all not like hzis toolishness but be realistic
They dumbbells were 100% fake. You can easily see the spotter leans over with them with no strain what so ever and the way he lifts them there is no effort. Light as. The guy is fake as..
You dont need to bring 30 plates.. you only gotta bring 2 or 4 plates. 3-4 real plates + 2 fake plates.

What’s the point in arguing for or against this dick?…..he should simply enter a powerlifting competition and post some numbers……
On that note, if the dude is legitimately this strong, why is his dumbass not out proving it daily? If I weighed 220lbs (a guess) and was putting up 700lbs on the bench RAW!…I’d show it daily.
Tom Eberlin
What cha think Blake McKinney
Well he looks pretty good for fake weights
You don’t have to like him but the weights aren’t fucking fake whoever runs this page has such a hard on for brad. You sound like the gay football player calling everyone a faggot because you’re angry that you are secretly gay. Get off this guys dick and post something else for fucks sake. Maybe hit the fucking gym and worry about yourself instead of whining like a bitch about castleberry every god damn day. Life is too short man, you’re wasting yours dwelling on someone else’s. Quit being a bitch.
Is this satire? You can’t be for real
You are telling people to shut up and lift? SMH
Brad Assholeberry
If using fake weights makes you look like Brad then I’m going to buy some today…. SMH people.
You really think he’s jacked?
He is controversial that’s his point ☝️ let them talk about you no matter how and you laugh all the way- to the bank plus he looks good
Bank?
Scott Jacobsen focus – cashing in on his popularity what do you think he does it as a charity
Brads entertaining. Yeah, he’s fake, but people keep falling for his trolling ways. Might as well enjoy the fireworks.
Why would you want to have the reputation of using fake weights in the gym? What a dumbass. Brad Dingleberry
Too many people are getting worked up over this guy. Let it go who cares.
Jason Pollacek
He got called out at the Olympia weekend and he ran off with his tail between his little legs
Your a BEAST Eddie!!!
So castleberry is the strongest guy in the world, but looks like an average gym bro? Sucks for him
Btw, if you have 700+ across your traps the bar will bend
He hardly looks like an average Joe, the dude is huge
Ryan Garlick he looks like every dude I know on gear
Oh yeah anyone on gear looks like that. Are you that stupid
Chris Pulieri you don’t read well
Putting Dingleberry next to Eddie Hall is an insult, get the fuck out of here
pretty muscles v Functional strenght muscles
Brad Castleberry = PRICK! Haha what a joker
If you want to claim a record, the only lifts that count are the ones with at least two white lights.
I think comparing them even !
is a big disrespect for Edie hall and his achievements
Is anyone else having issues with this page. Every time I click on these damn articles or videos I get these damn pop-up bullshit for Wal-Mart or virus nonsense??? I’d seriously like to know
This guy
How can you like a guy named brad???
Brad casselberry is an asshat
A guy of his size to be throwing weights around like he does, fake or not is impressive lol
I have started unfollowing every page that posts about brad the douschebag
Sacha mate la video
Maxime check le dumbell incline.. Legit ces n’importe quoi avec le dude qui row clairement ceux du top
Guys making a money why he does it even bad publicity is good as far as today’s market
Really don’t care if it’s weights are fake or real but when you claim it’s a world record every time that’s the issue Eddie Hall would wipe his ass up
Castleberry a Big Ass Punk
Rocky Jardine this is the guy I was tellin you about
Interesting ??
He’s actually a cool guy if you get to talk to him. Very helpful and willing to even workout with you. Definitely no fake weights at 24hr fitness Costa where I see him daily.
Then bars ain’t bending nowhere near enough for the weights that dickwad claims
Castleberry is a tool and a fraud. Numerous times hes been offered money, and lots of it to come out and prove himself and he never has. Some video evidence is blatantly obvious the weights are fake. He’s a good size dude he doesn’t have to make an jackass out of himself like that. Eddie Hall would wipe his ass with him
I would rather look like Brad all day every day instead of being beast mode strong but looking like I’ve never lifted a day in my life.
Watch the video theres all circular weights around an his is not 405 will bend the bar in fake weights.
Eddie is super powerfull
Brad powerfull and riped
How the heck is it fake weights?! Do you Not see the bar bending !!? And the dumbbells too? Looks legit to me
Haha…Crazy Fella…!!!!!
I would prefer Eddie Hall rather than Brad Castleberry. I have seen lot of videos of Eddie Hall & it looks pretty legit to me over Castleberry.
