Hugh Jackman's twitter - "If the bar ain't bendin', then you're just pretendin'

It's quite a thin bar, is it a ladies barbell?

It's a men's, you can always tell by the stubby sleeves on a women's bar

lol i love how you all jumped on me telling me im wrong when if you look at the picture the red plate laying on the floor clearly says 45lbs...

Unfortunately you didn't look at the bumper on the bar...the inner right one is clearly different. Its a flat bumper with a steel disc hub (in fact I think I can make out the wording 'ROGUE'), as opposed to the contoured bunper on the floor that has a small brass insert.

So the red bumpers on the bar are in fact 25s. And looking at the profile of them to the blues, I'm betting they're also rogue bumpers making them 20s.

As for the hex plates. Anyone's guess.

Looks like 210kg. According to bodybuilding.com he can bench 315lbs or 143kg - looks about right. Probably has a 100kg OHP.

Also you can clearly tell by his facial expression he just finished saying 'EIGHT'.

That'd be an 'it's all you bro' bounced of the chest bench. Might have a 100kg push press in him, on a good day.

For the love of god don't believe anything you read on bb.com
 
Aha I'm heaps smaller though and can almost bench 315. I dont really think its a lot, especially for an actor who does roids.
 
I caught up with Hugh the other week and bought up this whole interwebs argument.

He confirmed it was 210.
 
I just went to a local shop and they noticed I was wearing my "Australian Powerlifting Team" jacket.
They asked if I'd seen this picture, and told me it was the most insane thing they've seen.
After a few minutes of proxy-dick-sucking they asked if I did deadlifts, and what I pulled.
I then told them although 200+ is strong, Hugh wouldnt make the top 30 list at my gym...


.... I think they thought I was taking teh piss.
