LaVar Ball has once again made bold claims about one of his sons, this time asserting that Gelo successfully bench pressed over 400 pounds on Wednesday. However, many internet users remain skeptical of his assertion.
LaVar shared a video on Instagram featuring him and his 24-year-old brother in the gym this week. The video shows Gelo lifting a substantial amount of weight with LaVar proudly observing.
While Gelo’s lifting technique wasn’t perfect, he managed to lift the weight.
The skepticism arose when LaVar claimed that the total weight on the bar was 420 pounds.
He insisted that despite the apparent size of the weights on each side, they each weighed at least 200 pounds. In a caption on the video, he confidently stated, “400 is 400.”
Gelo himself shared the video on his own Instagram page, adding the caption, “Biggest APE.”
Gelo continues to strive to join his brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo, in the NBA.
He has spent the past couple of years playing in the G League in the hopes of making it to the big league soon.
Perhaps his newfound strength in the gym will help him achieve that goal and play alongside his brothers.
