I have no idea if that lift would meet serious weight lifting competition standards, but I think it is darn impressive either way. I hope we never let him do it again, because the board's server would probably ignite if AJ hurt his legs or back attempting those levels of weight, but it's an impressive sight.
And I agree with all those who say Brodie could have made things very different for himself with a better work ethic. I also agree with those who say he would have performed better with the supporting cast we have had the last three seasons, and that includes the coaches, if you want to look at it that way. But I don't think any kind of weight training would have saved him from knee trouble -- that was just a matter of time.
Man, I'll be glad when the season starts. This is starting to feel like Coke vs. Pepsi and helmet colors -- and here I am contributing to it. Yikes.
