I have an updated report on Josh Ward from Sevier County. He competed at the Arnold Classic this past weekend and benched 551 pounds. He pressed 573 but 1 of the 3 judges didn't count it because he "hitched" on the way up. He will be a Senior this fall.

To all the younger guys just starting to lift:

 

Colleges when they send out letters to ask for info. They ask for Power Clean first off. Squat, second and finally Bench Press. I would put much more emphasis on the leg lifts to build the speed too. The Power Clean is thought of as an all around strength test because it involves alot of what football has in it.

This advice is for "tacomuncher". Sounds like your a strong kid. To go along with the strength, work on your speed and flexibility. Colleges want to know how fast a kid is, they can always make you a little stronger. Go to camps this summer and measure yourself up against other athletes at your position.
