Brad Castleberry FAKE 150lb Muscle Up. He posted this video on his instagram yesterday. I personally hate doing videos like this but think its important to expose it for what it is because it can be misleading to a lot of individuals on whats possible and discredits a lot of great athletes that work really hard. If you don’t who Brad Castleberry is, I believe he is a body builder who claims to hold numerous world records in different lifts. A lot of videos our up on youtube of people claiming he uses fake weights. A quick search of his name and you can find these although I will not be getting into this today.
I seen the video on my popular page claiming he did 150b muscle ups for reps. After getting a bunch of negative comments he added a disclaimer to the caption saying
“you can’t physically put 150lbs in a bad like that. Don’t take life so serious, and always remember to stay positive”
Unfortunately his original caption did not have this, he only added it after getting a lot of slack for faking the weight. He also puts it at the very bottom under the hashtags so its real easy to miss.
Someways you can tell its not 150lbs is look how he passes the bag to his friend. He drops it into his hand and his friend bears the weight likes its nothing. Maybe 15lbs if even that.
He also strangely pulls the bag back really fast while his friend reaches for what could be the zipper.
While he is doing the muscle ups the bag waves up and down, hitting his head as he goes up. Obviously 150lbs wouldn’t move like this. It would probably knock you out if it hit you in the head with that much force.

Why does this guy keep using fake weights after being caught so many times…?? IDIOT!! Why do people even follow this guy??
No way that the bag is shaking so fast with 150lbs yoo nice troll
U got my sub!!!
It was a typo. More like he meant a 150 "pound" bag that he just bought, but he wrote 150lbs instead
I think the bag is empty😂
He looks like the guy in the wheelchair in family guy doing those muscle ups.
I dont think theres a pack on this world to hold up to 150 LB… unless is the special forces one… i dont know… nonetheless fuck off dingleberry
25 pounds? How much was in the bag?
I can’t even walk straight with my 50lb backpack
i had a backpack like this loaded with a 50-60 pound piece of steel in it, and i forgot and yanked it up by one strap, and the strap instantly tore off..
yoooooo this fucking idiot cant evn do one clean muscle up fuckkk this shit all that muscle for nothing pussy
Of course it's not, he makes it so obvious, are you an idiot! Lol it's a joke.
Fake or not. You cant fake his body
You can tell right off the bat, that bag is no way 150lbs. They pick it up with one hand it’s flimsy
The question isn't if the weight is real or fake. Those aren't muscle ups.
Even though the back pack is fake weight at least he can even do a muscle up.
Man I did pullups today with 77 and 55 lbs, with a backpack too, I will tell you I almost couldn't put the backpack on by myself, it was very difficult, and felt very heavy by just walking, so, the way he put it on his back, I'd say that backpack didn't carry even 30 lbs. This is the most bullshit of the bullshits. Period.
I had to pause the video before this got pointed out, but the book bag was jumping up quickly and hitting him in the back of the head. That is so fucking ridiculous lol.
Ya ll knw he’s not a serious man. He s an entertainer.. come on ffs
70 kilos? Y una mierda.
Lol a dumbbell wouldn’t even fit . He just had a stuffed unicorn in the bag.
He just forgot the decimal point, it's actually 1.50 lbs ! ha ha
U looks really out of shape, I don’t understand how ur so strong?
This guy is an insult to all who work hard at this.
He’s still like 250 pounds repping out muscle-ups easily
His 307kg bench looked legit
Once I did with 20 KG and injured my shoulder so bad I suffer for about a year now.
63 pull ups in one minute
https://youtu.be/ozAqwbNvFYI
and 1131 pull ups in 1 hour.
https://youtu.be/xI8gCU624Xo
Uske from Serbia.
These are real world records.
World record is now 110lbs
maybe 15lbs inside, not 150 🙂
Gotta still respect him for actually doing muscle-ups. 😁
Am I the only one noticing his muscle ups need work😕 those are called noodle ups
Brad makes these guys look so dumb. Nobody believes it’s 150 pounds and the jokes on the guys with YouTube channels posting vids to point out the obvious.
he's still doing easy mùuscle ups at that bodyweight, i'd like to see anyone else do it .
If I put two binders in my book-bag it will hang lower than the book bag that castleberry is wearing…..guy is totally fake!
The bag wouldn't be swinging like that if it was 150 pounds lmao. Also who tf uses bag to do weighted pull ups
The way the backpack is picked up, moves, swings, sags etc. looks like there is no weight at all added to it.
This is just awful ridiculus, and whoever beliefs there is a serious amount of weight in it, cleary has no feeling for physics and inertia.
You gotta be pretty shallow to feel the need to constantly impress others..worse so if you have to lie about it to get a reaction. Sad.
BC is awesome, constantly trolls people. All you haters feel so inclined to make a video about him, making him that more popular. Brilliant. Free branding.
