never was big on squats. I was too busy dropping the bar on my teeth as a 130 lb freshman trying to bench 135 and had never benched before.
Think nosebusters for the tris, but accidental with more weight than you carry. When they called my mom, she passed out.
Still don't know how the bar got off of me, but I remember sitting up, spitting blood and yelling "thit! thit! my teef! my teef!"

Excellent story. Very funny and much better in retrospect than e-bragging about how much you could do.

I have ask this over and over about most recruits over the last 5 years do they ever lift weights .There has been just a handful in that time that has impressed me. Most guys I look at can barely bench more than they weigh and can not squat very much either. you would think that there would be some country strong guys or something . I did not play football after my freshmen year because it was a waste of time cause I do not like to loose and my freshmen year we lost at Webb 7-6 and lost 4 or 4 more by less than 10 and Gatlinburg Pitt beat us by 25 we won 3 games. I did not think that I was big enough to play in collage at 5"11 180 but last time I spent in weight room was beginning my senior year and I was benching 385 5 times squatting 700 coaches would not allow me to try more than that but I was leg pressing 1000 pounds and I walked around the weight room with 500 pounds for 5 minuets at a time stepping up on my tip toes. and I ran a 4.6 -4.7 40 and to see 6,5 265 pound guys benching 325 and squatting 425 is pitiful to me I could reach down and grab 300 pounds and lift it as far over my head as my arms could reach. Guys like big Dan Williams impressed me though.

This was hilarious. Thanks for the chuckle. You never mentioned how much you power cleaned. That is probably the most important lift a football player can do to gauge how their strength will translate on the field. I'm going to take a stab at it and say that you power cleaned...... a Buick? If not, I'm sure you would have gotten it if the coaches had let you try.

I wish there was a way to tell how many times a post has been quoted. I wonder what post would be the most quoted?

...and I used to walk 10 miles to school in the snow, barefoot and uphill both ways, while balancing my books on my head.

You forgot about poisonous snakes you picked up by hand. I'm guessing snow mambas seeing that it was apparently winter time.

On another note, where did this thread go wrong and any new news on Mclisse?

Yeah, quits his HS team because they are losing... Sounds like a real winner.

Kinda thinking the same thing. Had a rough junior season after 2 10 win seasons, and I never thought about quitting our high school team. Was just more motivated to close out my senior season on a good note and turn things around. Couldn't see a quitter ever achieving what this guy is claiming. That and high school kids are rarely that strong at the weight he is claiming.
