The fact that he hasn’t catastrophically injured himself is the most impressive part tbh

[@whoishim2998]

Man definitely goes to bed in pain….

i can't even watch the rest of this video i swear i can feel a hernia developing on HIM

[@whitneystriggow2368]

[@royyyyyyyyyy]

It's cause he uses 2 belts and straps his legs lmao

[@obiependragon9660]

And/or poop his pants.

[@anhelaanhela4996]

He's gonna get a hernia 100%

[@ait86grr]

As a gym scientist, I also feel like this man is about to snap in half

[@joeytedesco9032]

Then he'll be like "it's a bad idea to lock out your knees on a leg press"

[@FukaiKokoro]

I've had a friend get a hernia for way less. She was trying to keep up with me and see how much she can do of the weight I was doing. Dudes lucky he hasn't experienced that because it's extremely painful and you need surgery to fix it.

[@TatsumiOga682]

He tapes his knees to make sure he doesn't accidentally hit full range of motion

[@mauri-mattiaslaanesaar5305]

Lmao

[@kittyscreativecorner]

I love how the music gets more and more intense as if it’s going to fully crescendo right when he lifts the impossibly heavy weight, and then nothing happens but the music keeps going

[@lonelypterodactyl2913]

I think that music was just added in post but that’s so true lol

[@bottledfart]

I’m gonna take a wild guess that Cody *is* going to laugh

Moving all those plates is probably a legit gym session in itself.

[@orirune3079]

Right, seeing him pick up 3 45 lb weights at once is legitimately impressive. And the fact that he could even stand there holding all that weight in the squat.

[@sipi2009]

That's what I thought almost immediately!

[@jooot_6850]

@@orirune3079the 3 plate grab is something that I’ve only very rarely seen.. obviously he has perfected the technique of carrying as many plates as possible 😂

[@NexJuice]

That's what I was thinking

[@squidee]

The real gains were the weights we lifted along the way 😢

[@patt8630]

Honestly, as someone who has weightlifted for 16 years, the fact that he put 585 lbs on the bar and lifted it off the rack is an accomplishment itself

[@raimarulightning]

Yeah, it's actually insanely impressive to even set up as a joke

[@bradenwilborn6663]

This guy is inspiring. He shows you can ignore everything exercise science has to say and still get fit.

[@spook8]

all jokes aside this dude could probably lift an insanely heavy piece of metal/debris JUST high enough to save somebody's life. that is a flex in itself.

[@zoroark567]

Actually, just about anyone could potentially have those incredible life saving moments. The vast majority of your strength is locked away from you by your brain so that you don’t just wildly injure yourself doing ordinary shit every day. Those life saving lifts are mainly the result of pumping you full of adrenaline to make you forget all pain and inhibition for a couple moments.

[@einfisch3891]

This guy is awesome. Either he is 100% serious, and that's hilarious or it is masterful satire and that is also hilarious. Hope he doesnt hurt himself doing this though.

[@prodwarsigil]

you'd be surprised how common ego lifting like this in the gym is lol

[@Revenent530]

There's no chance he doesn't, he's lifting like he's trying to tear muscle and tendon

[@jazzyje5ter223]

[@magicvibrations5180]

One of these days his knees are gonna buckle on the leg press

[@Jarvitalize]

You know he’s just a menace in the gym. May as well start bringing your own plates from home since he’s going to be using every single one

[@justinabean94]

The self flagellation before every exercise is crazy 😂

[@guitarmichael]

The muscles he has are actually from carrying 45s across the gym.

[@averydenherder7164]

I feel like there is no way those are actually 45lb plates. Look at the way he's slingin them around at 4:58. He's lifting three like it's nothing.

[@volbrenYT]

@@averydenherder7164 I'm so glad someone else noticed this. Dude is manhandling 45's three at a time and doing it pretty precisely.

[@charliefielding2297]

​@averydenherder7164 I think it still looked effortful, just fast. Plus it's easier to pick something up and move it when it stays at the same height, like if you've ever moved something from one bench to another as opposed to picking it up off the floor. Plus, as Cody pointed out, he's still buff, just not 100 plates buff.

[@isaacwheeler3086]

Using lifting belt improperly is very dangerous this guys is so far beyond human that he has to where two just to add extra pressure just to feel something

[@zophielparker]

I love that he clearly knows how to lift, he is built, but takes that knowledge and uses it for evil.

[@gin4580]

He literally has zero muscle, look at his legs they are toothpicks. Fuk you talking bout?

[@ursaminor2981]

I don't think he does...he has the worst form I've ever seen. It's a miracle he hasn't seriously injured himself.

[@tenshhi]

@@gaj30did you see him with 4 plates ??

[@Hawaii567]

@@ursaminor2981because it’s clearly satire. Dude is extremely built and strong regardless of how hilariously bad he’s purposefully performing the movements. Anyone with any gym experience can see he’s fucking around and that he knows what he’s doing. The fact that he can even un-rack 600 Ibs shows that. And him missing the 225 bench at his size and strength instantly gives it away 😂. He’s an experienced lifter creating comedic lifting content for shock factor.

El Campeon has clearly never heard of the term from range of motion or proper lifting form. He's some crazy guy that thinks as long as you can move a weight from its original position, it counts as a rep. The saddest part is how much confidence he has while doing so much so terribly incorrect.

[@rushc5]

Those are knee wraps. You’ll see powerlifters and strongmen using them to lift very heavy weight. You can find old photos of Arnold using some for squat as well. The essentially help you “rebound” from the bottom of the squat as they’re set to be very tight. Realistically, that’s likely what’s allowing him to even go 15 degrees. You know, besides his massive balls dragging him down. Side Note: You can also tell the wraps aren’t tight enough in the leg press video as when he walks up to it his legs clearly still I’ve mobility at the knee. If they were properly tightened he’d be walking a bit more like a penguin.
