lol that was the AX booth at arnold this year. I walked pasted it, did a double take, then laughed. Sad part is this homo claims its real on youtuebe and deleted peoples comments who expose him.

theyre 13lbs each, cast aluminum. so its like 156lbs+the bar. MAYBE 200lbs total. Then again, it could be an aluminum bar too.

I remember seeing another guy doing it last year when I walked by. Some people were so amazed.....they were also complete idiots.

Manimalia · 04-18-2008, 03:14 PM

hahahahahhahah! no matter how strong a man is, he ain't gonna be able to hit that weight with that speed! that's ridiculous. oh yeah, i'm calling it fake! cause it is.

**OCCFan023** · 04-18-2008, 05:14 PM

I think I remember someone from AX saying it was around 265 which would still somewhat impressive if its true.

thats a crappy way to promote products.

Yeah holy crap!. Talk about deceptive advertising!.

CryingEmo · 04-18-2008, 08:56 PM

I really thought AX Retain made me strong enough to bench 585 78 times.

I honestly think it's great. I would have liked to have been there and had a video/pic taken of me seemingly bench pressing hundreds of pounds 20+ times... just for shits and giggles and a convo piece.

Now, if they had a sign up next to the bench that said, "Take our sh!t and this is what you can do!" That would be crappy.

sreed11 · 04-23-2008, 01:00 AM

haha i ****in freaked out watching this. i couldn't believe it. till i read it was fake. maybe some day... who knows, i'll just keep taking muscletech products and get there soon enough!

It's hard for me to fathom that anyone would believe that kid could unrack 585, let alone bench it 22 times easily.

It's not crappy advertising, just a little gimmick to get peoples attention. Not like they were trying to say "If you take our sh*t you'll be able to bench 585 for high reps."
