705x4

it looks legit, but i have heard maybe fake weights? I hope not this shit is sick!

yeah, don't see why they're not real - pulling 525 for that many is awesome, there's pro strongmen can't do that.

I know what I'm doing tonight , I don't think I'll be getting 19 tho!

A comment on the deads....


that looked like rubber plating to me.....if so - thats not close to 525.....still impressive

 

[The Shadow]

in the 525 pulls I mean about the rubber looking plates

 

[Tweakle]

you think the first 2 loaded on the bar are bumpers?

I dunno, the guy weighs 250 apparently & claims a 750+ squat so it should be possible.. shit I pulled 500 for 16 conventional last year without training for it & it's easier to rep out with sumos so I don't see why it wouldn't be real.

1st i thought might be fake but looking at the other vids they seem to be legit

yes I do.

Watch the vid.....there is significant bounce at the bottom...even a rubber mat will not spring like that

Im a member over there at MMI, all the video's there are 100% legit, Powerhouse48, the guy you saw in this vid deadlifting, is a freak!! He usually keeps a training log over there and his workouts use some insane amounts of weight. I can gaurantee that vid is the real deal.

 

[Nate Dawg]

After the set is over it zooms in on the weights, pause the vid and you can obviously see there are no bumpers on that bar, bumpers are thicker and have rounded edges, all the plates on that bar look like iron to me!
