I'm not into weight lifting & have no idea at how much weight is considered "Hercules" type accomplishments..Do y'll think we have players that could squat that much or more here at Bama or is this like a super human type squat???..
Regardless of if there's anyone at Bama that could squat that (maybe, but doubtful), that's a TON of weight and is near super human.
Well, it's not technically a ton of weight, but it is near superhuman. :biggrin2:
About 15 years ago, I was in the gym when some huge guy I'd never seen in there before was getting ready to bench somewhere upwards of 500 lbs. He said, "Hey, bro. Can you give me a spot?" All I could do was laugh.
A grown man, no doubt! This is a clip of Baylor's Andrew Billings setting the Texas HS power lifting record. He had a nice season as a true freshman DT.

That's so much weight, did you see how much the bar was bending?
I wonder how much weight you can put on the bar until it breaks.

That's literally like putting two full grown fed hogs on each side of the bar and lifting it....Incredible...I'd have to put on piglets to lift it, and even then not sure if I could...:biggrin2:
The article says he is an O-Line, at 6-3 320lbs & with his leg strength, I would think he would be a perfect DT or NG..He has the body & leg strength to be a spark plug of a "Run Stopper" I would think..
Honestly, I hate to see that. He is putting way too much weight on his ankles and knee's. He will regret doing that when he is older.
Didn't look like he got completely parallel. Probably would not have counted in a competitive setting. I've seen countless people who say the can bench or squat x amount and don't even come close to doing the lift properly. No doubt the dude is unnaturally strong though.
Honestly? The likelihood of him being injured in the squat rack is much lower than the likelihood of him being injured on the field. By your logic, he should give up football.
That's impressive weight to squat. What's not impressive? Shrinking testicles and man boobs that he will have in 5-10 years. Call me skeptical but that was probably aided by "supplements" (where is that deer antler spray guy? 
)
)Nobody is suggesting that he give up football. Having lifted weights for years and being over 50 gives me a perspective you my not have. Lifting weights is very helpful to any football player as long as you don't over do it. The human body and especially our joints can only take so much stress.
