Has anyone seen or heard of him? I searched in the threads but couldn't find anything. I'm calling bullshit on this guys lifts I mean its just getting ridiculous at this point. He's all over Instagram for those of you that have it if not I'll post some vids. Hes got to be using fake weights to boost his popularity. I saw a vid of him curling "315" for "6" and squatting 765 or something like that. I am by no means a "hater" I love the bodybuilding community and bodybuilders a like. This guy is big but hes not hyuuuuggee. Arnold is way bigger than he is and this guy trumps arnolds lifts. I mean this kid is "squatting" close to what Ronnie did with no wraps or squat suit? I mean cmon. Please look at other vids of this guy. Am I in the wrong here or is this guy really a clown with fake weights? It does seem the way to get famous is social media these days let me know what yall think.

wtf at comparing him to arnold lol

look at his jumping / sprinting vids too

hes got great genes

machomadness22 · Nov 4, 2014

I don't care about his "sprinting" dude I'm talking about his lifts I've seen some power lifters call him out just seeing if anyone vouches for this guy or what. Pretty much asking what the bodybuilding community think and like I stated yeah hes big and yes has great genes but doesn't mean he can be all that and fraud as well dude.

I don't know. From that video you posted it looks like was some pretty serious weight on that bar the way it flexed when he racked it.

I know Dante has spoken very highly of him... he is sponsored by true nutrition as well, and I know Dante doesn't sponsor frauds...

hes a beast

Dante aka Doggcrapp knows him pretty well, seems legit. He was a powerlifter before he decided to diet down

He's right. You can't fake a flexed bar. Guy is just a beast

HEs very strong, seen several of his vids, the only thing that crosses my mind is how much time does he spend not lifting like that and working on quality over strength?
I mean strength training is good but its overall approach with all facets of training that builds winning physiques...if he wants to compete as a strong man then ok.

Guy is a pure athlete.... He is legit as they come... Dante showed me a pic too where brad was doing a combine style vertical jump and it was something ridiculous at 250lbs, maybe he can post it... Dude is sik

machomadness22 · Nov 4, 2014

Well then I respectfully apologize for doubting. I'm very impressed then.

I'm with Pharm and xeno, you cannot fake that bend and flex in that bar. Those weights are as real as they get.

heavyhitter · Nov 4, 2014

BRad is legit. Dude can dunk a basketball and squats over 600 pounds regularly. I've personally seen him curl 110 pound dumbells

johnjuanb1 · Nov 4, 2014

Go see him for yourself at 24 Hour Carlsbad. Those weights are real.
He's a heck of a nice guy. Saw him at a show a month ago. He looks great. Had his shirt off. I can't believe he's in his 30's. He looks 20.
