highest maxes

I have no clue how much more I could go up, but I know that my coaches still do not believe that I have reached anywhere near my potential, I'll just continue to work hard, and hopefully once I get past this tendonitis I'll be able to get back to work.

I was 245 when I put up the numbers I listed as a senior, and I did nothing but amino's and a high protein diet.

[JAC6603]

All natural sweetheart, and I weighed 292 at the time.

[CIZZLE]

therez a guy at sweetwater tha squats about 600 and dead lifts 725 and would get more but cant put any more weight on the bar and he did that as a junior

Jake Gant at HCHS in Savannah benches 325.He is a junior in high school.

Jac do you all use the beepers to signal parallel or do you do a call from a coach? We used the beepers on the quads, so our hamstrings were below parallel.

I guess that 260 is not that high of a bench press for a sophomore considering that Kenny Merideth at Blackman Benches 320, squats almost 500, and cleans 300 as a sophomore. He also only weighs only 185.

Hey Longsnapper,

You are right, 260 bench press is pretty dang good for a sophomore. But if you think that is good, you should have seen Jamal Price at Riverdale his sophomore year: 1999 season. He cleaned 260, benched 330, and squated 600. And he only weighed 190. His pound/pound was 6.3. He set several records at the Warrior Invitational weightlifting tournament that year.

[Longsnapper]

Those are some impressive numbers..

[JAC6603]

We have a coach stand on each side of the person squatting who watches the person get their legs to a 90 degree angle. Could you explain what beepers are to me, I've never heard of those, and I would like to know more.

 

I also would like to hear of some impressive power clean numbers, beacuse that is probably the most important lift for football.

Beepers are a great idea with a few flaws. They strap on to the thigh and are designed to go off or "beep" when they're at a parallel angle. The catch is that they have to be put on the leg in the exact, right place or its obsolete, and if you have large thighs, they easily pop off as you lift. But I'm sure the bands can be bought larger, this was just a problem we had with the ones at my old school. In general, thought, I'd say they're accurate. Sometimes a psychological block, so it takes some getting used to.

 

I saw Ron Akins of Riverdale power clean 330 at a meet in '99. He was in the 210 division if I recall correctly.

[Longsnapper]

My man Ben Jones from Cookeville power cleaned 310 this year..I was very impressed. 315 was very close...
