On average, your tibia can support about 2200lb/1000kg of weight. Your femur can do 3 times that on average. Our leg bones have extremely high compressional strengths.
That and I presume the plate on him distributes the weight a bit as well. Not to take anything away, still extremely impressive. I'm just fun at parties
Coroner: "Look at that, the tibia was able to support all 1000kg of that weight without breaking, impressive..." Assistant: "Shame about the rest of the body though" points at mangled, barely recognizable remains on the table.
i was about to say, there is not that much strength involved there (until he lifted the barbell with his arms), most of the weight was carefully placed above his feet, so it would just rest there on its own basically...needs a bit of stability of couse, but the weight is supported by his bones alone...which of course has its own limits, so still impressive...

They use people b/c it's harder to fake their weight, unlike barbells that could be hollow.

But their weight stabilized his legs in place and is what allows him to lift the barbell.

How do you realize you have this talent?

Oh yeah, it’s all due to how it’s balanced. It’s still an absolutely tremendous amount of weight and stress on his legs.

While I believe you, I still prefer to lift my Mazda Miata using a traditional jack.
AlexSomething
I choose to believe the guy above is named Jack now.
"Dude, we need to lift your car, where your jack?"
"He's coming, he's a bit late."
"...He?"
alcaray
How about the knees, ankles, shoulders, wrists, neck...?
wildwestpb
Less. But with everything not being twisted or bent at odd angles, that’s probably the strongest layout that you can get for feats like this.

I’m surprised his tibias didn’t simply splinter in 100 pieces. There’s no way they should be able to take that much weight.
